2 bladder expansion tanks in parallel
2 bladder expansion tanks in parallel
(OP)
Is there anything fundamentally wrong with installing 2 bladder tanks in parallel on a hot water system? I have an existing tank but will be adding a significant amount of volume to the system. Rather than putting a a single larger tank, I want to install a second smaller tank.
Is there anything wrong with this idea? I assume as long as the charge pressure is the same on both and my combined acceptance volume meets the expansion, I should be fine.
By the way, the 2 tanks would not be the same size if that's important.
Thoughts?

It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. (Sherlock Holmes - A Scandal in Bohemia.)
