I Never Run Out of Hot Water

It feels so good and relaxing whenever I take a warm bath, especially after a hard day at work – I know you all agree. But warming up water for your bath burns a lot coal…….

We know what harm it brings to the environment by burning coal, and we also know the hip pocket pain of a big electricity bill, but do you know how to reduce it?

I just recently installed a system called solar hot water, at first I was a bit skeptical, because if you come to think of it is the heat of the sun enough to give me a warm bath?

Well it turned out it isn’t enough!!....... It was more! The system we installed, an “evacuated tube” one, can fill out whole tank with plenty of water for your needs! I don’t know all the geeky stuff about exactly how it works. But here’s a simple version;

The system collects the heat energy and somehow it doubles the heat, then water piping runs through it for direct heat transfer or sometimes with a certain medium to transfer the energy. The tank stores the heated water without using a water pump.

Whew.. So basically it is free hot water…. A question might pop into your head, like it did to me;

If the sun isn’t very strong that day, say on a cloudy winters day, will I be having a cold shower? Fortunately not because the the system can use “boosting” from your heating system (either electric or fuel) so you will never run out of hot water…. But here in our place that rarely happens. The sun is bright as ever almost the entire year.

I’m saving money with solar hot water….. so can you!
