Thanks for your input Acuario

My storage tank is only 33 to 40 gallons so one shower and most of it is replaced with fresh city water. Doesn't sit around in that tank any longer then a regular electric hot water heater would.

My wife just used the hot water at the kitchen sink for awhile on some dishes then went up and took a shower. That's it.. it's history / gonzo. :-}

Sun is shining great so my solar pump is kicking in now re heating the storage tank.

So far so good.. everything is working as planned now.
