Hi, had a comment before (can't find).
Our home only has one pipe coming to the shower(s) with hot water from heaters above the ceiling (each shower x 3).
I want to install solar water heating - but hitting a hurdle, the company sais that a new green pipe needs to be run. and you manage the mix of hot/cold at point - this is not something we want to do, as each wall would have to be retiled (100k per wall before we even start - and struggle to find the same tiles as discontinued - been there).
So my idea, is there must be a way that the solar heater heats the water, its then gravity fed/pumped to a mixing tank of sorts before flowing to the house shower (heads) - we are only interested in the showers - we have 5kw system and 3kw system for the pool, each shower heater when used uses 3.5kw so we have a power issue at times (too much being consumed).
So as you can see - cutting out the heating of water will take some pressure of the house grid, but doing so will create extreme costs making it not worth while/viable.
Has anyone come across a tank of sorts that can mix the hot water coming from the solar hot tank with cold water that we can then send onto the house?
Thanks
- did see this but looking for a off the shelf solution i can just give to somchai
