Copper tank for electric immersion and Rayburn and Navitron Solars
My hot water tank leaks:
rather than replace it with a similar maybe I should upgrade so that it works with some Navitron Solar panels but how? I have an electric immersion in the top, hot water out at the top, cold water in at the bottom, and 2 pipes to and from the rayburn. A few years ago I bought some Navitron solar tubes which I havent fitted yet. something like these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/202432768600 and https://www.navitron.org.uk/store/so...ed-tube-panels I haven't managed to get onto the Navitron forums so thought i'd ask here. Would i need a cylinder with 6 pipes, or how is it done? George |

Which means a new "solar"tank or retro-fitting another heat exchanger. https://sunearthinc.com/solar-tanks/ https://homeguides.sfgate.com/add-so...ter-43767.html |
