Tobyminty, you are WAY behind the times compared to us in the U.S.! We have been using these systems for well over 100 years over here! It's a good thing we shared it with you! You should thank us for our innovations!

@youstupidmoron As a plumber I know we've been using solar patch water heaters for at least that long. But natural gas was found and was very cheap. The modern thing to do was heat your water with natual gas. So people ripped out the solar and installed gas.

Hello, I already downloaded the plans and I will make this system, I will use another materials and I will use two windows glass in the body. This is not new, but the important is how do you are connecting the solar heater to the boyler. This is a great idea very usefull, cheap and simple. Thanks a lot

@SpeedMetal4635 Have fun with build, the connection to the water heater where made with copper fittings.

Does anyone know were I can find the info on how to use/plumb an old water heater tank for my solar holding tank? I notice most folks tht use one do not use the top in and out nipples and and use the drain line plus the pop off ect. I need to find plns for this. We hve a pass through system built by place no longer in business and need new tank.

Thanks for the upload ABTPlumbing. The trouble in the UK is that we are in the UK, where summer means three days of sunshine and a thunderstorm. Still, I will add it to the list of things I will have a crack at when I get time.

thank you for sharing this! Now, doesn't it freeze hard in Grass Valley? Wouldn't those pipes burst every night the temps go below 32F?
