Hello Everyone,

I have a problem. Can anyone suggest me the best way to connect a non-pressure Solar Water Heating (evacuated glass vacuum tubes type) to a home that has an existing pressurerized water system. Will be pleased to answer any questions to clarify what I require. Thanks and all you guys have a nice day. Saadat

When you say pressurized do you mean city pressure or from a well with a pressure tank¿ What PSI is the water main set at¿

Thanks for your reply. The system has its own pressure pump. The pump gets it's feed by gravity-flow from an over-head water tank. The system runs between 3-4 bars

Create a loop with a pump and use an indirect fire water heater. That's it's most simplistic approach, of course it helps to have an experienced plumber to help design such a system.

A plate heat exchanger would work for in floor heating.

For "potable hot water" heating you need to use either a hot water heater with a built in heat exchanger or add a heat exchanger on the side.

what are you trying to accomplish??

heating the whole home, or just the hot water??
