How a solar water heater works - Drainback solar

 

1. Sensors detect when heat is available, and a pump circulates water through the collector 

 

2.Potable water from the main tank is circulated through a heat exchanger in the drainback tank. 

 

Our 80 gallon Rheem tanks store water at a high temperature to provide 24 hours worth of hot water. A backup element is included to ensure that hot water is always available, rain or shine.

 

Our panels come with a lifetime warranty. Drainback solar water heater will typically last 20 or more years and offers worry free protection against freezing conditions with little or no maintenance. The system is designed to offset water heating costs by over 85%. Visit our manufacturer's website to view system specifications.  -  Read about the history of solar water heating.

 

 

We use only the best parts and equipment available

Sleek, attractive panels which are often    mistaken for skylights. We use Chromagen panels which are the most efficient in the industry. One 4x10 panel produces on average 40,000 BTU/day. Many other companies sell cheap panels, that produce only around 20,000 BTUs, then the required 2nd panel is an additional cost. So, our panels are not the

cheapest, but since just one will do the job,

it is more cost effective. Download collector performance data.
