QUOTE(phoenix69 @ May 3 2012, 10:45 AM) Just got my solar water heater tank replaced yesterday. (Under warranty) How is the solar heater perform this 2day? In the morning the water was lukewarm. Suspect it was because of insulation in the tank. As for heater efficiency. From a lukewarm water in the morning , the water become very hot in at 1.30pm. Since this few days cloudy and raining almost whole day, it is best to check and know the performing of the solar heater. |

QUOTE(phoenix69 @ Oct 14 2012, 11:50 PM) Did you control the hot water flow to ensure you have at least "not as hot as" water during the cloudy weather. Best try will be this coming few months as rainy and cloudy season around the corner. |

Hi
In terms of adding the solar power, how about the old piping. Shall Iask the contractor to remove the whole housing piping to copper piping. This post has been edited by babbulu99: Oct 18 2012, 03:10 PM |

it depends on the piping condition, if very old, change it. For cold water piping, get PVC is good enough

Using Microsolar M60VTHE. No backup heater.
This Nov it rained whole day for the last 3-4 days. Today full sun since morning so should be recharging. Need only 3-4 hours to get 60-70deg but if 6-8hrs water should be in the high 80-90s. While there was no sun during the day, the rate of heat decay was such that we gradually had to had the shower mixer turned slightly left to get barely 37-39deg temp mix. Even if it's cloudy it should recharge. This post has been edited by halcyon27: Nov 7 2012, 02:13 PM |

Hi zheilwane, i'm interested on your Solar Power, but which type is better? flat panel or vacuum tube type?
Could you please pm me your best price for both type? any promotion or package available if include the pump? preferably Grundfos pump. For small family (2 to 3 person) only. Many Thanks. |
