Abstract
Modular water heating systems include a self-standing rack on which one or two separate tankless water heaters and a separate water storage tank are mounted. A pump recirculates the water between the storage tank and the water heater or heaters to maintain a drawdown supply of hot water. The various water lines between the tankless water heater or heaters, storage tank and water circulation pump may include isolation valves, quick connectors and flexible lines for easy replacement of any of the component parts as needed.
