  • I shall take a day or two get back to U...this

    time... of year is DASHAIN...a week long festival in this part of the world.

  • vijaya...it is question of insulation...good insulated barrel would create no loss in heat for more than 24 hours.

  • This is in-fact spelling mistake, its should have been 70 USD ( Dollar), The cost of the entire installation in local currency converted into dollar while it was assembled in Kathmandu, Nepal. One USD that time was around 70 Nrs.

  • @Nene1192 I wasn't the person who posted the swearing posts. It was "callmeshane303". Please re-read the posts starting from the BEGINNING and you will see that I only replied with a comment on why debeshbhattarai has the black coils in a cone shape rather than flat. "callmeshane303" was the person who said I was a "dumbfuck" and debeshbhattarai was a "fucking idiot".

  • @Nene1192 Sorry this comment was meant to go under the two posts below!

  • @descargaelbano I really enjoy learning new techniques but find it so childish when I read people abusing other people. Rather than swearing at people (childish) how about posting your own youtube video with advice. People coming here are here to learn and are intelligent enough to research what works and doesn't work for themselves and their countries.

  • This is great to see. I'm sure in some countries it gets hot enough that this system works well. I wouldn't use this system for our water in the house as we are not hot enough. The coils I would try to support the exsisting system. Thank you!

  • @callmeshane303 That's NOT what you said. You said "I would have just laid the coils flat". That was your only comment before mine. If the coils were laid flat then you would in theory ONLY have approximately 2.5M of rise in the diagram at 5:15, if the coils are cone shaped as in the diagram you will have rise(and water flow) in the entire length of the pipe(33M?) plus the 2.5M of rise which will steadily flow water by itself on a sunny day if you could see into the tank. It's a great design A+

  • @debeshbhattarai

    You are also a dumb fuck - there are bacteria that grow in warm water, that go up inside the nose and infect the brain - causing mennangitis and death.

    You must heat all of your water to above 60 - 65*C, to make it safe to use.

    Fucking idiot.

  • @descargaelbano

    I said - a flat panel is a lot easier to make, I did not say it has to be laid flat, nor for the plumbing to and from it, are to be set at the same height - thus stopping the principle of thermonic siphoning - you dumb fuck.

    I also said a flat panel was a lot better from the principles of ease of manufacture and efficiency and mounting - compared to that piece of shit you have made - you dumb fuck.
