I want to add solar water heating in the future.
I am told I need a twin coil tank ( one coil for future solar) and that the solar connection will be made to the top coil. Is this right?
I was on a manufacturer's web site which shows the solar coil as being the bottom of the two coils.
Which is correct?]]> Political hot potato http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=5 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=5 Tue, 30 Jan 2007 21:11:07 +0000 GBP-Keith
