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


From the Ground Up

Produced and Directed by

Tamara Lynn Scott

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.
