Water heater
I like to install two tanks -- if one goes down you still have hot water -- when you connect two tanks -- i would run cold water to first tank into top of cold water inlet -- then come out of the hot and run it to the bottom of the next tank where your drain valve is -- just remove and install a tee and put the drain valve back in -- then come out of the top where the hot water outlet is and install a by-pass valve so if one tank leaks you can turn the bad tank off and still have hot water till you can install another tank -- i have done this many times this way -- works good if you have enough room for two 50 gal tanks

IT has always been "water heater". The term hot water heater has just been used for years because people don't realize the difference. It has always been WATER HEATER.The first answer is jibberish and makes no practical sense at all.
