As we neared the final test, Afshin began disconnecting the old water heater, cutting old pipes off and having new pipes and fittings ready.
Discovering that the new system couldn't be tested, we realized we were in hot water... that is.. had no hot water system at all... Aargh!! As Marshall & Afshin began cutting new pipes to hook up the old system, Meenal began dreaming of a lever that would've allowed her to switch between the two systems.
After several hours, well into Friday evening, Meenal & Afshin had it: the old system functioning as before, with additional valves so when we test the new system next week, the old one would be ready and on standby. We should've known this from our IT days, migrating between software systems.
Lesson learnt: leave old system on standby, there's no hurry to dismantle & cart it away.
