    Preheating DHW in solar tank
    I have a 400 gallon unpressurized solar storage tank for space heating. I'd like to preheat Domestic Hot Water by running a copper loop through this tank. Can I use refrigeration tubing or is K copper a better option?

    What's the temperature of the water in the tank? You want to preheat the DW supply by convection with a loop? Is there a problem with running a line down from the tank to the DW? Back to you, Tom

Oven trips breaker while preheating? [ 4 Answers ]

I have a GE Range/Oven. Recently, when I turn on the oven to preheat, it trips my breaker in the house. My question is: would this be a problem with my oven (perhaps somekind of safety feature?) or with my electrical panel (because of the breaker blowing)?
