That just killed one of my personal goals, thanks.

I ended up getting 2 hot water tanks and putting them in series. Endless hot water doing it that way. I've also plumbed it so that if one fails I can adjust a few valves and run on one tank until I can fix/replace the other.

I should note, I live 160km from the nearest city so I can't just call a guy out to fix things.

Couldn't you have just run it in parallel and have a T split with valves on the intake and output? In order to drain a side for repairs you could just close the working side off and void it normally. In series just seems like a weird choice to me.

Yeah, series sounds like an awful idea.

Unless they are weak as sht, and the water needs to be heated twice to get up to temperature.

I talked to a plumber and it's what he recommended. I decided to not to question someone with far more experience than me. Your solution would probably work too.

As a Dutch person I've never seen a water heating system with a tank like in the US, we all use boilers and they are fantastic. Boilers are harder to use in "big" homes though.
