Gas water heater and storage tank combined schematic

Larry Weingarten

... a schematic, but having connections between tanks, both high and low will allow convection to keep both tanks at similar temps. I'm imagining cold being fed into the "electric" tank and hot taken from the gas heater. When water is used, I imagine cold water filling both tanks evenly, giving roughly 70% of the volume of both, or 105 gallons.

It's an educated guess ;~)

Does anybody have a schematic for a 75 gallon natural gas water heater with a 75 gallon electric water heater for storage combined. The electrical part of the water heater i will not be using i only want to use the electric water heater as a storage with a bronze pump because a electric water heater is cheaper than a storage tank.
