I have a customer who has a 50 gal. gas power vent and 80 gal. electric heater...the 80 gal. heater is not hooked up to electric because his panel is full... customer wants to use it (80) as a storage tank using the 50 gal. gas tank and a recirculating pump to keep the 80 gal. tank hot...
Have any of you done this in the past and if not does any one think it will work...the pump would be pumping water from the 80s drain into the 50s drain and recirculate from the hot side on the 50 into the cold side on the 80...the house would feed from hot side of the 80...
To me it seems like the 50 will be struggling to keep all that water hot...there is a lot more to this story but moot for this question...
