Also, I live in FL, and my pipes are in the attic. During the summer, I don't even have to use the HW heater, because I get hot water from the pipes being in the attic. I recall bringing up this kind of idea here in the past, and someone mentioned the risk of Legionares' Disease growing in the hot water system, due to lack of sufficient heating to kill it. In practice that doesnt happen with solar hot water systems. It does. But legionnaires is only an issue if you shower, since its inhaled bacteria that are bad news. And who wants to shower in tepid water anyway? all solar and heatpump systems use immersion heaters to get water up to 60C plus if the prime source wont do it. |
