Hello. i am a genius that bought a too small indirect superstor 30 a couple of years ago and now needs more water. i was going to add storage tank installed in reserve storage configuration with superstor as heat source based on ease and relative cost.
what does anyone think of this instead: i can get a gas tankless on demand for around $200 after the $300 tax credit. (ss flue will add about 100-150 to cost).
instead of adding storage tank as before, I would plumb cold into tankless and hot output (set to 122F) into cold in of superstor. keep superstor heating "coil" connected as before. now i have a 30 gallon store of hot water that will prevent lag i have heard about with tankless heaters and when superstor's reserve "gone" hot water (up to 5.8 gpm) will go on indefinitely. than current setup with indirect will heat tank to make up for any stand by loses.
i would not bother will all of this if i had sized the tank with a look to future when i installed it, but now that i have it, i just cant see disconnecting and running tankless especially given lag concerns. Also for a few dollars more, I essentially will have unlimited hot water (finally).
any comments/input you have will be greatly appreciated.
