I'm really not interested in running 100' of copper pipe to the opposite side of the basement
And then insulating it
I'd much rather use that 100' of copper & build a solar system to heat my house

My drain also exits at the back of my house...where my greenhouse is located
So drain water helps keep my greenhouse warm thru the winter
Once I have my 4 solar panels setup for HW I will have...

Unfortunately my WH is on the opposite side of the house as my drain
To run some copper around it I would probably lose any heat gained in the added distance
I do shut the drain while taking a...

Actually peak summer we have close to 70 degree water if not higher

Brits complain too much :D

I've measured my incoming water temp as low as 35 f

Say the old one is a 5g model, new one is 1.2
Per person savings, multiply by the number of people
Min I'd say 3 flushes a day....old toilet 15g vs 3.6g new toilet
11.4g per day....average 30 days...

I visited...I left....gas prices too high

My last 3 toilets have been Kohlers from HD....no problems

I'm actually only running the solar heater on the hot tub every other day now
The warm tub runs every day - It was about 102 today - if it gets too hot I cycle water to the pool
The inground pool -...

I have several solar heat dissipators
19,000g swimming pool, 450g hot tub, 300g ho tub

I've been heating 450g of water in my hot tub since May
I changed my saltwater aquariums setup at the same time (less water to heat- one less pump), so not sure of exact savings
But my electric...

Picked up 2 solar water heating panels for free that were in use for over 20 years
Each panel is now heating a hot tub
One tub (newer) tops out at 110, the other one (older) only gets up to 103

And they are already saying it will effect fisheries in...

It heats up from 96 to 106+ in 2 hours

So I am pulling one 4x12 panel off & adding that to the hot tub by the pool
I've cleaned the tub out & connected...

Much better glazing & heavy duty....they look nice
