    Hi Adam.

    Many of these systems are designed and installed by different people.
    It would be just about impossible to give you a accurate answer to your question.
    You need to have someone On Site to see the plumbing/piping for your install to be able to tell you exactly what you need to do for a electric water heater change over. All else is guess work and when you are messing with a boiler guessing is not something you should do.
