One more point. Kind of obvious, but I will mention it. When you winterise, make sure that you either drain all water out of the tank or you blow it out. I can’t drain it into the bilge (the way the bilge is designed on my boat is stupid), so I have to blow it.
Btw. It saves about 5-6 gal of AF in the fall and incredible amount of grief (to flush it out) in the spring.

Either will work but I'm with Marek, the 2 valve is probably better. The system I built also included a thermal regulating valve (red knob). I can crank the thermostat WAY up while at dock (and the 160 - 180° water from the engine while motoring) and it gets regulated down to whatever safe level I set. It lets me get 3 showers from a single 6 gallon tank of hot water.

I was thinking of putting shut offs on the inlet and outlet with a bypass below the shut offs with its own valve. In normal operation I would close the bypass valve. Is there a better way?
