check out this wicked big heat exchanger
00:00:03.650 00:00:03.660 [Music]
00:00:07.210 00:00:07.220 first step is wrestling this big coil of
00:00:11.030 00:00:11.040 PEX tubing down into the crawlspace and
00:00:13.669 00:00:13.679 then I got to get it up over the top of
00:00:16.099 00:00:16.109 the tank between the tank and the joist
00:00:18.230 00:00:18.240 it was a challenge but we did it
00:00:21.310 00:00:21.320 Here I am kicking the thing from the
00:00:24.470 00:00:24.480 backside to get it in well I'm in the
00:00:34.910 00:00:34.920 tank and this giant coil APEC's is gonna
00:00:38.780 00:00:38.790 be the heat exchanger so the clean water
00:00:41.569 00:00:41.579 that's gonna come out of the taps that's
00:00:43.729 00:00:43.739 gonna go through the inside of the packs
00:00:45.410 00:00:45.420 tubing the water that's gonna be in this
00:00:48.500 00:00:48.510 tank is not going to go to the taps it's
00:00:51.229 00:00:51.239 just going to go to the solar panel
00:00:55.800 00:00:55.810 [Applause]
00:01:05.740 00:01:05.750 we've put some cinder blocks in here and
00:01:09.609 00:01:09.619 they are on some rubber pads just for a
00:01:16.910 00:01:16.920 little extra protection from the liner
00:01:19.730 00:01:19.740 underneath and this elevates it a little
00:01:22.460 00:01:22.470 bit because the hotter water is going to
00:01:25.249 00:01:25.259 be towards the top I am why you're tying
00:01:28.609 00:01:28.619 it to some pieces of pipe and a cinder
00:01:31.819 00:01:31.829 block so that it's raised up off the
00:01:34.370 00:01:34.380 floor a little bit and the idea is I
00:01:37.670 00:01:37.680 just I want the water to be able to flow
00:01:40.219 00:01:40.229 through and around it much better than
00:01:43.160 00:01:43.170 if it was just bundled in a tight coil
00:01:45.490 00:01:45.500 completed heat exchanger as you can see
00:01:48.649 00:01:48.659 it's three levels held up on cinder
00:01:50.810 00:01:50.820 blocks everything was wired tied
00:01:55.370 00:01:55.380 together that's not pretty but it is
00:01:59.480 00:01:59.490 functional everything is wired tied down
00:02:02.149 00:02:02.159 to the center blocks which are sitting
00:02:04.670 00:02:04.680 on an extra little piece of rubber
00:02:08.160 00:02:08.170 water can now flow through all the
00:02:10.719 00:02:10.729 levels and you can see the ends coming
00:02:17.320 00:02:17.330 out from the tank
