Think of all the wasted dollars they have paid to the utility companies over the years. The need for water heating will not go away and most of the humans on this planet who are already used to having constant hot water availability certainly won’t want to do without it. So why don’t we take action and convert our hot water systems to something highly economical and beneficial like a solar water heater system with hot water on demand heated by the sun? You can find out how with this guide.
Before we answer the questions above, let’s not just talk about a solar water heater system, but hot water systems in general. They come in various flavors. Some of the most common are the conventional gas heated hot water that uses a hot water storage tank, electrically heated hot water that also uses a storage tank, on demand electrically heated water that uses large amounts of electricity to heat water just before it’s delivered by a faucet and finally, clean and inexpensively heated solar hot water heated by the sun itself using a solar water heater system.
If you’re interested in stopping this expensive water heating cycle, excellent solar DIY guides are available to help you achieve greatly reduced utility bills by easily and economically building a DIY solar water heater system for your family’s home hot water needs. One of the best and most highly respected guides you can use is now available and the good news is that anyone can do it!
The basics of conventional gas and electrically heated hot water systems that use tank storage are almost the same, generally differing only in the method of heating the water itself.
A thermostat in each of these hot water systems monitors the temperature of the standing water in the tank, and when that temperature goes below a certain point set by the homeowner, either the gas or electricity is turned on to heat the water back up to the prescribed temperature. These are common, but very expensive systems because they require large amounts of very expensive gas and electricity to maintain hot water in the tank at all times for instantaneous use. A solar water heater system is far more efficient and economical.
Another method of providing hot water is the on demand, electrically powered tankless water heater that is placed in the water line just prior to the faucet. The idea is that hot water does not have to be kept hot in a storage tank when it is not even being used – it is heated as soon as the hot water faucet is turned on. In theory, this seems to most of us like a good idea, but in actual practice a great many users have found that the very high initial cost of purchasing and installing several tankless water heaters (three to five are required to equip the average home) coupled with the increasingly high costs of electricity can actually mandate up to several decades of cost recovery time in some cases.
Enter the DIY solar water heater system to save the day. . .now you can have the benefit of a hot water system that is excellent because of its solar DIY advantages (easily and economically built by anyone!) and it will last a lifetime. Additional benefits of a solar water heater system are that not only can you save a fortune on your utility bill or eliminate it entirely, you can also use your solar water heater system for water heating in your spa and/or pool – saving even more money and economically extending your swimming season at the same time!
