I don't quite get what your saying hewre but if your talking about have a 50 gal. water piped to the bath rooms and kitchen and then want a 20 or 30 gal. put at the bath room say under the sink to have 30 gal. right there and then have the 50 gal. to pick up where the 30 leaves off. Yes, I have seen this on a few jobs and it works pretty well. I see this on jobs where they have large tubes or those spa type tubes and need large amounts of hot water to fill them. 80 Gal. of hot water will fill a good size spa or tub then figure in about 30 more gal. of cold water make about 110 gal. to fill the tub's and spa's. .

Don't laugh, i know one plumber here that told me this. TURTLE |

That plumber must be Daves the hack boy heating Co, brother, because
Tankless by Bosch or Takagi are not the crap of old, or the cheap junk that can be purchased. Bosch Aquastar is 117000 Btu, the Bosch made by Takagi is 188000 Btu enough for 2 full flow showers=A0 at once. To say it means no hot water is a statement of ignorance of the products on the market. My 117000 Btu Bosch Aquastar has never been set to high even with 33f incoming water at -20 outside. It will give all you want and more for 2 uses at once. And my gas bills are down for water heating 50%, based on summer non furnace operation. Saying it means you dont want hot water says to me a hack instal not sizing the gas line or a cheap low Btu model. Now Electric is a waist of money as electricity is double for most and you need a 120a unit for a single use system. Tankless gas, the way of the future. You need a smarter plumber Turtle. |

Yes, I've seen two water heaters in series before. It is very possible.
