Do have issues with freezing water in the winter? Do you drain and bypass it in the winter?

@earthwindwaterjunky Hello. I do not drain this system,I simply cover it a night with a water proof blanket.

could you do a follow up showing the temp and working please

[markp0177]

@osokthedevil Sorry. I sold this solar water heater to a man in tennessee, I have made several and on a sunny day it will heat up to 140degs. Mark

I´ve had bad results with thermopane doors.. they tend to explode when the rain hits a hot one.

[markp0177]

@josephdupont I use old glass doors from the 70's. I have hosed them off on a hot day with no trouble. I also make solar panels with new tempered glass with no problems.
