But living int he Yukon, the municipal water comes in at 2-4 degrees

ceiling. *Keeps it at 10-12 degrees all year round.


That sounds like a good way to drink lots of lead tainted water, unless you
are very careful to use only radiators made without lead solder. *


No, not really. Unless the water is significantly acidic, the amount of lead
that leaches into it from leaded solder is really rather low, and allowing the
tap to run for 30 to 60 seconds before filling one's glass eliminates nearly
all of it.

That would limit you to only using plastic end cap radiators.


What, you think he's running it through *automobile* radiators?? Could be, but
I rather doubt it. More likely, he's using normal residential radiators, which
are typically made of cast iron.


Or copper/aluminum fin tube baseboard radiators - probably the easiest
way to have an in-line water heat exchanger hung from a ceiling.
