As you may recall, for the past couple of years I have used a solar shower. It worked okay but it took a couple of hours to warm up even in the heat of Aticama. It finally broke so I needed another way to heat water.
We use a lot of black hose at the house and at the orchards. The fact that the water came out hot got me to thinking that if I used more hose I could get enough volume of hot water to bathe. Leaving the coiled hose on the patio table in direct sunlight provides almost 5 gallons of hot (probably 120 degrees) water in less than an hour.
In addition to the patio bathing, the water is a great temperature for doing dishes and laundry!
hope it works out :) hard to control that heat without a mixer lol glad ur back
ReplyDeleteWhere is Dod? still in the shower - time to get out and let us know how it is going?
ReplyDeleteI think this will gonna work. Black hose has a special compound used in the insulating layer provides an added measure of protection against heat loss.

Hahaha. Okay. So it took me quite a bit there before I got what you meant by a “Mexican” water heater. Hahaha. I think it’s a great way to save on your bills, especially during summer, when the sun is just crazy outside. I do have my reservations when winter time comes along though, how do you plan on addressing that one? :)
