Opinions?

If you're one of those people that uses old tires as birdbaths and
planters, this would add to the ambiance of your yard

Gee whiz. We have something similar but it's still frozen; if not
frozen solid it has ice in its passages somewhere!
Maybe by May 15th will be warm enough to thaw out. Because we
occasionally get snow on May 24th, a local holiday.
But then if we get an early frost in say
September ....................?
And of course in any cloudy but warmer weather we DO get during the
days in summer, not sure if the hot water it produces would be
worthwhile. One estimate of our total hot water electricity
consumption is not more than 10% of total bill or a maximum of $300
per year! In other words we heat hot water pretty much as we use it at
ten cents per kilowatt hour for hydro generated power.
