| I have 3 old water heaters in a chain (water into #1, which feeds #2, which feeds #3, which feeds the house) in my vacation townhome. Trying to decide if I should swap them out for one new 75 gal tank, or just wait for 1 or 2 to fail before incurring the expense. Seems to me that if one or two fail, I can just bypass them in the chain and keep on showering. Make sense? |

| I have two water heaters in series in my house and I wouldn't change a thing here... But to answer the original question,,,,,IT IS AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT. |

| Why don't you check the anodes. If they're consumed, waiting for failure might be a good strategy. If not, replace them. It's a maintenance item. Usually easier to do than replacing heaters. |
