Help! What purpose does this water line serve? Pic included.
Hello. We had to replace our water tank. Now we are wondering if this line connecting the hot and cold water serves any purpose? If not...we will simply remove it.

Removing it would be a mistake, as it's a bypass that allows proper winterization, and is an "emergency" by-pass, incase the water heater fails. You can still use your water system, even if the heater springs a leak or dies.... Even while it's removed and being repaired or replaced.
