Looked funny to me at first, but if you draw it out and work it through I think it may be as good or better even than top, bottom-to-top, bottom. Only one tank fills or draws at a time and the water doesn't have to flow from one tank to the other.looks very nice but im sorry i still dont understand plumbing storage in that manner.
henfruit, i see the valve to your top tank is half closed. did you have to play with this much to get it right?
how does only one tank fill or draw at a time? why is it a disadvantage to flow one tank into another? yeah it works. flowing any volume of water to/from your storage "battery" in any manner will "work". i am asking why this might be better? it just seems like more plumbing to me and doesnt allow stratification to be used optimally. only trying to figure out what i missing to fully understand this setup.Looked funny to me at first, but if you draw it out and work it through I think it may be as good or better even than top, bottom-to-top, bottom.

dont do thatI have an I beam in my basement. I wonder if that would support an empty 500 gal. tank?
I'll start another thread. Sorry for the diversion.
