    Jim,

    there are two common ways: one is two make sure the two tanks are piped equal distance from the tees for both the cold and the hot water. The second is to do a reverse return-feed one tank with cold water then the second, then take the hot water from the second and then tie in the first. This is a self balancing system that requires a little more piping but assures equal distribution.

    Sorry, I do not have the ability to draw sketches but someone probably will.

    Getcher sketches heah...

    .Sorry about the size, it's a big system. The closed loop draws off of the outter closed loop system. It is NOT an open and direct system. The heat source is assumed to be a Phase 3 boiler/DHW combination.
