I live in the Southern US. Temps here have been around 100 degrees F OR ABOVE for the last 2 weeks. It seems crazy to me that I have to pay for Hot Water in this heat.
Surely there is some simple way to pipe water through some black pipes on my roof and circulate it into a tank that feeds my water heater. Is something like this feasible for around $500 or $1k?
I hooked the Polaris pump on my swimming pool up to several hundred feet of heavy black hose pipe and put this on the roof of the pool house, and coupled it with a thermal blanket. I was able to raise the temp of the pool water significantly and extend the swimming season. And help cool the pool house ( though this was a subjective measurement.)
Any suggestions?
