SOLAR ( sort of )
We get LOTS of sunshine in Southern Arizona. Without getting too elaborate, here's my idea; Loop about 100' of plastic pipe in the rooftop. Connect FROM cold inlet TO my water heater. During the daytime, ( which is when we use hot water ) Water would be solar-preheated before going to the water heater. No need for any "controls" except to disconnect it in the wintertime. ( temps do dip to freezing at nite in mid-winter ) Opinions ??? What kind of pipe ? Would I need to fasten it to the rooftop ?? rj |
