Default yes

What size water heaters? Two 30gal. will give you 60 gal. of hot water. How much hot water do you need?Selecting a W/H size,your W/H should provide enough hot water for the busiest time of the day. Ck the W/H "first hour rating",this factors in how fast cold water is heated & effects of tank size.Determine your peak water demand.
Bath: 50 gallons
Shower: 2 gallons per minute
Teeth brushing: 1 gallon
Hands/face washing: 1 gallon
shaving: 1 gallon
Dishwasher: 20 gallons/load
Clothes washing (machine): : 10 gallons/load
These are some factors to help determine (peak hour demand)
