Simple Methods To Create A Passive Solar Water Heater
In order to create the simplest solar water heater from our passive source, the sun, you need to provide a container for the water and a way for the sun to heat the water. After that you can use it in any manner you choose. From large homes to small domains, passive solar water heaters make for a relaxing lifestyle when in need of a great shower. By creating a shower area only will reduce your energy cost each year by a couple of hundred dollars.
Invest in three to five solar showers from your local camping store. Fill each with water and choose an area with the most sun exposure. Place hooks for each solar shower and then surround it all with black garbage bags loosely placed. Set up your privacy area for your shower if it is outdoors by using sheets, old shower curtains, ply wood or any other item that will provide privacy from the neighbors and for the neighbors. They may not want to watch you shower.
Make sure the tubes of each solar shower runs through the black bag to the shower area. Use one for each member of the family or you can use them all for yourself in order to provide enough water for a long, relaxing shower. Refill as soon as you finish showering and within a few hours in the sun, your passive solar water heater shower will be ready for the next use.Want to know more?
