Hi,
Because we sometimes run out of hot water ( this a small 4 unit apartment building and sourced by the 1 - 50 gal htr. I already have a recirculation pump on the 50 and don't think doing a parallel water heater connection would be best because of the pressure differences introduced by the re-circulation system. This Recirc system was added later and was never necessary to add prressure to the system ...just keep the water in the pipes constantly heated
Here's my Question : in my proposed serial connection the source "cold" will go to the new 40 , then I will serialize it to the 50 which sits just 3 feet away ....the outgoing hot water connection from the 50 to the rest of the building will stay the same.
Will I have a problem with "lost" water pressure as a whole given the introduction of this addition 40 gallon tank?
Thanks for any help you all may have !
