Anyone know if there's a source where someone can just buy a tank for a
solar system with the heat exchanger built into it? Mine is dying and
the guy that installed it 20 years ago or so wants $1500 to replace it.
Now I do have some granola crunchy tendencies, but I dunno if it's
really worth that much money, but if I can get the tank for a couple
hundred I'm sure I can muscle it down the stairs and solder it up.

thanks,

nate

Any electric water heater tank, and a solar wand heat exchanger from
http://ButlerSunSolutions.com/ (no connection, not even a customer, but
it sounds like it should work well...).
