My wife and I are building a new house and we are going to have the plumber install two hot water heaters both in our crawl space which is spacious. One of the heaters will be under the kitchen and service the kitchen and the adjoining utility room. The other heater will be at the other end of the house under the master bath room and it will also supply the guest bath room. My question is this. Can this be plumbed in a way that will allow the two heaters to feed off each other and thereby double the capacity of water available at each end? I can understand how you could put two heaters side by side and connect them in series and have all of the hot water serviced from the
2nd heater in the series. However, I can't figure out how you can accomplish the same thing with two heaters that are located at each end of a house.- posted
