Ropes and pulleys?
2. We had a discussion a while back, about No-waiting hot water. Instant warm water at the tap!
I'm wondering, if I skip using a heat trap on the output side of the tank..?
And allow a small amount of warmed water to fill up the pipe (insulated) going to the taps & outlets..
Comments Please. |
1. Don’t lift, walk! Walk it up on pieces of 2x4 one or two legs at a time. May need help to steady the tank and move blocks around.
2.Natural convection flow only works if you have cold return piping from the most distant tap with check valve, and the top of the tank is lower than the piping loop to the taps.
