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.

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.

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.
