Here's a shot of the digital controller of my new Solar Water Heater. As you can see the water has almost reached boiling point after a couple of days in the sun. The tank is very well insulated and so looses very little heat during the night. Steam and boiling water is intermittently spouting out of the tank's vent hole like a mini geyser!
In normal daily use it should rarely reach these temperatures, as fresh cold water is added to replace hot water taken from the system. However, I'm happy to stress test the system like this to see what happens should we be away from the house for a while.
Ummm, I'm going to have to wait for a few cloudy days now to finish the plumbing .... it's far to hot to work on at the moment.
