Can I use a plastic loft-type cold water tank for my solar water heater?
I've made the first stage, i.e. the copper tube, about 3 metres of it
in a "snake" pattern. This will be mounted on a south-facing wall. Can I feed the hot water (on thermo-syphon principle) into a black plastic cold water tank as used in the loft? Or will this plastic release toxins when containing hot water? NB: The tank will be mounted initially on outside wall, above the copper tube "snake". Or maybe you have suggestions for alternative tank suitable for hot water? The cold water tank I'm looking at (on the B&Q web site) is the Titan Wizard 25/15 Rectangular Water Tank KM15 Black. MM |
