I doubt if it will be worth the effort. First I suspect the tank is
insulated. It also may develop a leak when you don't want it, that is a
liability waiting to happen. During part of the year, you may end up
cooling the water to room temperature so you may want to bypass it then. It
just does not sound worth it to me.

That's probably what I'll end up doing, but when I see my gas bill
lately, I'm thinking that it'd sure be nice if I could use the new
water heater to save money somehow.
