Dimension One Spa - Passive Solar Heating Water - Dan's Handyman Service

From the Ground Up

is creating a test kitchen,

so to speak,

to create an energy self-reliant system of heating water using solar energy and a series of 5 water panels which have been located just below the position of the Dimension One Spa,

to allow passive rise of hot water into the spa and the cooler water returning to the hot water panels.

This is achieved by keeping the water in a loop system where no pumps or outside energy is needed to heat and move the water into the spa.

Temperatures are being controlled, currently, through a manual system of covering over the hot water panels during the hottest months, to prevent the water from overheating.

Dan Wilson, of Dan's Handyman Service, plumbed the heat rated, fire proof hose into the inlets and outlets of the Spa.

Generator Repair - Dan's Handyman Service

From the Ground Up

Produced and Directed by

Tamara Lynn Scott

proceeds with getting water up to the mountain top

by reactivating a generator that had been sitting and as a result,

corroding due to unused gasoline which had condensated and rusted the interior.

Dan Wilson, of Dan's Handyman Service,

repaired the generator by cleaning out all the corrosion.

The generator was tied into pre-existing wiring to the well pump, and is now being used to pump water up the mountain and into the Dimension One Spa, along with a few extra 55 gallon water storage barrels which are used to replenish water lost to evaporation.

Large pieces of 4 by 12 lumber is being used to create a platform for the water barrels next to the hot tub, to allow gravity feed water into the spa.
