I built this thing last week and was wondering if any of you folks had any solar powered stuff.( besides grapes Appleman)
The water is just as hot as ever in the evening. If I use it all I just flip on the breaker for the electric heater takes 15 min. or so. Not sure how much electricity I'll save I did readthat 1/3 of your power bill is hot water.
Some of you probably use that much on power drills with a fizzx or a mixers on it.
I went to Lowe's to get a buggy and a cart full of stuff to complete the project,told the guy at the check what I was doing and not to laugh,
he replied "what are you an electrician?"
This guy had no way of knowing that I am an electrical contractor. So, I asked himhow did you get that from a bunch of plumbing stuff? he replied " I have a friend thats an electrician and he's always doing crazy sh%$ too."
I just walked out he had me nailed.
