I'm installing a basic carbon water filter to filter chlorine from a city water supply. I've tee'd a line to all outside faucets ahead of the filter tank on the supply before entering line side of filter tank to not filter outside water. I'm assuming i'll have to install a check valve of sort to...

Well; No mixer on water heater. I checked temps @ the lower drain and upper pressure relief valve. Both therms are set @150; upper relief valve is reading 120, and @the relief valve just getting warm temp. When I ran water out of drain valve, lower element came on and is drawing current tested...

I am having a water heating problem with my 50 gallon electric water heater. Tank is only a couple of years old. The water is chlorinated coming from the street. Living in Tennessee, The water line from street is only 18" below grade, and @ least 500 ft. before entering tank. With both...

OK; It's been a while. I haven't started on this project yet, because I know having already two 50 gal. HW htrs, there has to be a way to simply combine them by balancing the flow from both WH's. If a 3/4 HW line brought from WH2 to WH1 and either combine them using a pressure balancing valve...

Presently have 2 - 50 gallon tank type water heaters. one for kitchen, and two bathrooms; the other for mast. bath, and laundry; opposite ends of house (40ft. apart). I've posted a question in reference to this a while ago, but may want to update question. Should I install a small tankless just...

OK; is it possible to just bring a 1/2" line from WH circuit#2 hot side , and T it into whirlpool tub spiket branch to add hot water to feed tub with WH#1 ? could I just T the two circuits, install a mini tank, or mixer to combine them @ tub's@hot side ...

What about a 3.5 kw 240V point of use water heater just for the tub , fed from the hot side of tank WH. senses and comes on w/temperature drop as tank water heater starts running out of hot water, and the small tankless makes up the difference. would that continue to provide enough supplemental...

I considered Tankless, but since I've got 2 - 2 year old 50 gal. WH's, why not use them, also; I never considered a loss of water pressure using that method . I know WH#2 will mostly be a holding tank, till I use the tub; and WH#1 will be doing most of the work and may wear out faster. So, is...

I think I understand, Since water heater #1 is closer to the tub, the draw of hot water will be greater than wh#2 , and will not allow that flow thru other circuit to combine them. The other option would be to connect the WH's in series, hot side WH#2, plumb circuits together w/ circ/ck,and...

Thanks for reply; I figured by plumbing the 2 electric water heaters I already have , there would be minimum material needed and a comparable operating cost and that would be a wiser choice. If going w/tankless, I'd be heating water w/ propane, not sure if one is better than the other ; I...

In the home I'm presently living there's 2- 50 gallon electric water heaters opposite ends of house; (aprox. 50ft apart). One takes care of kitchen sink and 2 full baths with a long pipe run to termination. The 2nd heater has a slightly less distant pipe run which takes care of a laundry (tub...
