How do you handle water in the cold temps?
Discussion
All my water lines are closed cell spray foam insulated in the 2x8 wall cavity. there's an internal hundred gallon tank that I use for the on demand hot water heater because it doesn't have to work as hard to get the water hot. I pull mainly from a thousand gallon exterior tank which has a neat 15 ft heated hose that sits pretty close to the house and part of that heated part of the hose sits inside the tank. It's worked fine doesn't pull much juice either. it also looks pretty clean.
funny you ask this because I was sitting here this morning looking at the wood stove and trying to figure out how I'm going to wrap some copper coils up and down the chimney pipe to heat water
Are you harvesting rainwater into the outside tank?
I’ve been contemplating a hybrid miner/ wood stove heated water tank to provide heat and hot water for my tiny house build. Still trying to decide if I need to find a place to stash the tank inside, or if I can insulate it well and put it outside.
