I want to install an acrylic tub with a 60 gallon capacity. The current 40 gallon electric WH is not going to cut it; it supports 7 people, 3 baths, washing machine, and dishwasher now but we occasionally run short of hot water.
I'm thinking of replacing it with either a 70 gallon HWH or a 60 gallon with a tempering valve. Would either of these provide adequate hot water?
What about cost? I think the 60 gal option would actually cost more to install, since there would be added plumbing; I suspect the 70 gal with no tempering valve would be more efficient. What do you think?
