Hey FreeBreeze,


What car do I buy to fit these tires I have?  I like blue.

freebreeze;


I killed this same one line post 3 times because it is just too darned vague. I guess after 4 I give up wasting my time protecting you from the slings and arrows of those who think a coherent question may be necessary for postings here.


Good luck finding out the answer.

Best? --Mother Nature/Gravity brand.

Mount the heat exchanger/tank higher then the collection panels.

NOW if you can't mount the exchanger higher then the panels--how many square foot of panels--how large of piping is in/out of each panel--how much "stand alone--set it and forget it" do you need and how much about plumbing and your local codes do you know?

Your turn now.

A solar powered pump. Small 12v pump connected to solar panel. It only works when the sun shines just like the solar water heater.


Okay one little arrow. Why do you need to heat hot water?


Good call TomW

Guess that doesnt apply here for my vague question.
