Pondering a different layout for the house. Currently have a HTP Modcon that supports 4 radiant zones and DHW. With family size of 6-8, depending on visiting family in the house, we routinely run out of hot water if all six want to shower or fill up tubs. The indirect is a 80-90gallon capacity. I have the HTP set to DHW for priority and even if I turn off all the radiant zonesand only run DHW, we still run out.
So I was contemplating adding a Rinnai 199 in line with the indirect so that I can take the output of the indirect and feed it into the Rinnai and then have the Rinnai heat the water on demand for the rest of the house. That way, my intake water temp will never be below say 90. But i can control my output hopefully consistently to 120.
Thoughts on if this would work or not?
