Hi everybody, we have constructed a huge solar hot water system, but
the tanks we are using need to be replaced with tanks that can
handle the water pressure and the pressure of the heating water from
the solar pipes in the field. The plastic caged holding tanks are
not designed for the water pressure from the well. Hot water tanks
seem the best bet for a tank that will withstand pressures over 60
pounds. The relief valve says it will pop at 156 degrees.
If you have replaced your water heater because of any failure that
is not related to the integrity of the tank, please consider
donating your tank to us. We want to get this hot shower
operational asap. Show time is next Friday at 3pm check out Ariel
Hill on the web site. She will now open the show. Check out
Carolina Boulware too. She goes on after Ariel Hill.
If you have any ideas about other tanks that we could get that will
hold pressure please contact me.
