One of our propane water heaters is leaking. I'm not replacing it myself and have someone setup to come out. But, I'm trying to understand the set up. I drew a diagram of how they are installed below. I believe these are considered to be in parallel but I don't understand the circulation pump on the cold side with two cold supplies and cutoffs.
I was hoping that I could isolate the damaged heater and stop flow but there are no cutoffs except for the cold side. Is there any drawback to installing cutoffs so each can be isolated or was this not done on purpose?
Any thoughts? I'm just curious about it and annoyed there's no way to shut down the broken tank and still use the functioning one.
Thanks!!
