Hey Pat,
Sorry I didn't mean to scare you but youknow I don't know of any solar water
system where you would use the collector water for drinking or washing. The
water is treated with anti-freeze and corrosion inhibitors, definitely not
something you would want to drink. It could then be run through a heat
exchanger in your regular hot water tank for home hot water use but the two
do not mix. With this system I will not even try to do this because of the
nastiness of the tank of which you so well pointed out and the potential of
a leak that could pollute the fresh water side.
Oh I do remember using a solar water heater that I then washed with, it was
a dark colored nylon bag with a plastic bag liner that I would take
backpacking. I would fill it with water from a stream and after 30 minutes
in the sun I had enough warm water to wash up with. That was quite a luxury
when hiking.
Also I would guess that they have something in the middle east (or other
desert areas) that runs the fresh water threw a solar collector to heat
their water. But that is just a guess, & I would think they would do it for
simplicity compare to the more complex (expensive) systems we use here.

OK, different ball of wax. Get some sacrificial anodes to stop or at least
slow down rust and don't scare me like that, I have enough white hair as it
is.
