A water heater question

I know this question has probably been hashed and re-hashed a few times. But i don't remember seeing it recently. Suppose you want to use TWO water heaters to try and keep up with a house full of shower loving girls. Would having them in parallel or series (plumbing wise) be the best way? I can see where there could be advantages both ways.steve barker

Ever head of legionaire's disease? Better set the WH to at least 130F.

even without the disease, 120 degree water is worthless. It needs to be at least 140 and preferably 160 to wash dishes properly. AND the hotter the water, the less of the hot side you'll use in the shower and it'll last longer.
