Thank you Josh, so i do need to keep a bypass loop... That makes sense, but then it is more fittings and potential leaks. I was haapy to remove a bunch of fittings so i will need to think about it.
I do check my coolant level quite often so maybe i d'ont need this. Keep it simple!

A total of 3 identical ball valves would be my choice. This could accomplished with two 3-way valves as well but 3-way valves can lead to confusion and usually cost more. Without the isolation valves down stream of the bypass then a leak in the water heater would still be pressurized.

It was T in the coolant hoses going to the water heater but never woeked well. I guess the hoses running in the bilges was too much of a heat loss. So anyways, i'm going back to original and simplicity and i remember somebody here said he added valves to have the option to "bypass" the water heater in case of a leak. Since i already have the valves and my tank is original it seems to be a good idea. My question is: can i just install them in line on each hose or do i need to add a loop before the valves with T fittings , engine side of the valves, so i still have circulation. I think it does't matter and that the engine system does not depend on this but i want to be sure. Thank you.
