hello, and thanks for this forum.
I have a small cabin I wish to rent. It has a 20 gallon, 110 water heater that is fine for two people. I would like to install a second 20 gallon 110 water heater next to the shower, which is only 15 feet away. Will I then have 40 gallons of hot water if I connect it into the existing plumbing lines? I don't want to have 2 separate zones, just one zone with 2, 20 gallon water heaters for a total of 40 gallons. If I separate it into zones I still only have 20 gallons going to the shower. I want the shower to use both water heaters at the same time. Will this work? I really don't want to have to install a 220 volt water heater if I don't have to. Thank to anyone who can let me know if my idea will work.
