Default Water heater question... hook up in series?

Hi all -

I have a 50 gal gas powervent waterheater, but I run out of hot water
frequently. Can I buy another electric one & feed the hot from my existing
heater into the inlet for the new electric one?

Figure that might be the cheapest way since the electric one will only
really need to maintain the temp, rather than heating it & I won't have to
spend $$$ on another powervent model.

Thanks!


What kind of demand do you have? Seems like a 50 gallon power vent
should not have issues keeping up unless you have a lot of people
using a lot of hot water. Are you sure it is working properly?
