        My fater-in-law is adding a bathroom that is very far from his hot water heater. In order to cut down on the delay for hot water, he is thinking of placing a small (2 or 3 gallon) heater in this room that is supplied by the main water heater. In other words, he is placing the heaters in series. Is this alright and will it work?

            We do it all the time. Just be sure to discharge the safety valve to a safe location.: : My fater-in-law is adding a bathroom that is very far from his hot water heater.

              There is a second option. A circulated hot water line. This would keep hot water in the line all the time and save the electric of the second hot water heater. : : My fater-in-law is adding a bathroom that is very far from his hot water heater.
