How to Connect a Solar Water Heater to the Shower
- 1). Turn off the main valve of the water line into your home.
- 2). Locate the inlet of your home's regular water heater.
- 3). Cut the tubing before it reaches the water heater so that you remove approximately 3 inches of tubing.
- 4). Attach L-shaped couplers to both sides that have now been opened and weld them into place.
- 5). Run tubing from the water source end of the L-shaped coupler to the inlet of your solar water heater.
- 6). Use a coupler and weld the tubing to the inlet.
- 7). Run tubing from the outlet of your solar water heater to the inlet of your regular water heater where the still open L-shaped coupler is.
- 8). Use couplers to join the tubing and weld them in place.
- 9). Open your main water valve once the welded tubing has cooled.
