Supplemental water heater/solar conversion?

If I were you I would look into getting the newer " on demand" hot water heating system. There are no tanks, and therefore water is not constantly heated day and nite whether it is needed or not. Especially since now you need to use a boiler to keep it that way.

They make whole house models and models that you can put in just one application . Like a "on demand" water heater for the bathroom only or just the kitchen sink.

They are either electrically heated or gas heated.

The initial cost is higher BUT the moment you install it ,,,it starts paying for itself because it only operates when you turn on the hot water faucet. Your monthly bill willl drop like a stone.

Also it never runs out of hot water.

Its a win win situation.

i've got spent weeks testing distinctive HHO gens (all from ebay -such as the WATER4GAS layout) and each physique works plenty in any different case. those in %pipes in lots of situations output a first rate quantity of gas (based quickly upon what electrolyzer you utilize interior the water) yet their crude layout would not assist you to work out what's occurring interior and you may no longer tell if your combination is doing good or no longer. Then there are the cord designs (like the water4gas), which placed out ok - yet in no way adequate to make a great MPG impression. i ultimately outfitted one employing the terrific traits of distinctive fashions all prepare, and that i output around a million.5-a million.75 litres/minute - it is actual good for the dimensions of the generator and for the electrolyte i'm employing. there are a number of aspects in touch in no remember if an HHO generator will artwork nicely or no longer. the considerable aspects are: a million. what are the electrodes made up of, how nicely will they habit electrical energy and how at as quickly as will they corrode? 2. What electrolyte mixture are you employing interior the water (electrolyte is had to make the water habit electrical energy to cut up the hydrogen and oxygen) 3. how plenty oxygen are you concerning interior the gas out to the engine? 4. what share o2 sensors does your motor vehicle have and how will they react to the extra advantageous oxygen they're going to detect? (now and lower back the o2 sensors will detect extra oxygen and strengthen your gas ratio to catch up on it - i for my section have not had this concern, yet have heard others checklist it) talking from my very own journey with the generator I now use and build, I even have actually TRIPLED my gas mileage. on the commencing up, with a affordably-outfitted generator - I in user-friendly terms have been given a 23% strengthen on MPG. yet now with my new layout, I even have tripled my gas mileage. So definite, it does artwork in case you have the spectacular Generator and in case you already know slightly relating to the technique.

Yep! The ONLY drawback to those on-demand heaters is that they require a LOT of new plumbing, and you may not have the skills you'll need to get the bloody thing installed. So, you'll have to PAY someone to install it for you. If you're smart, you'll watch and LEARN from him.

Solar is nice, if your garage has the room; you need a southern-facing roof to have it work best.
