A friend of mine called with an argument he is having with his plumber. Atand
his business (a health club), he has two water heaters (or should I say hot
water heaters?) of equal capacity. Both have an outgoing, hot water pipe
that is 3/4". One has an incoming (cold water supply) pipe that is 1.5"
one has an incoming (cold water supply) pipe that is 3/4". He says thatthe
water heater with the larger supply line runs out of hot water faster andthink
claims that it is because of this larger supply line. His plumber says no.
I have monkeyed around with the problem some this morning. What do you
gang?
BTW both heaters were installed at the same time. One is not a good deal
older and (by extension) a good deal more crusted up.
