This can be used on a non pressured solar water heater? am having issues with the hot vs cold water pressure, cold is higher? anyone can help?

No, this cannot be used in a non pressurized solar water heating system. The intent of using the non pressurized solar water heater is to not pressurize it, which this pump will do. Instead check out this schematic: http://www.xiankesolar.com/products/details-49.shtml

I don't recommend this pump. The motor run life is likely not to exceed 1000 hrs and the shaft seal may leak during operation.

I used it on a water cooler, to pump water into a holding tank, but found the pressure was very low, I really don't know as to your application, but if your need a good flow, this is not the pump, for you.

Clean your hot water heater to remove debris that settles to tank bottom..then install filter on cold water inlet to tank..or..install it on incoming service line. Hope this helps, I don't think this plastic is OK with hot water and pressure over time. Check with Culligan specs.

We have this water heater hooked up to regular electrical service and it barely heats water at all. I would not buy it. For any purpose.

We use this valve with a tankless hot water heater - works great. If it gets too hot, we turn the handle towards the cold setting. I hope this helps to answer your question.

I had it running this weekend in arrowhead it was fine. The heater was on to the house. I would imagine if it was below 30 the motor may not like it. I would not assume that because the water is moving it will not freeze at a lower temp. But I am sure the motor is not designed for freezing. But it really moves the water.

This unit is a water heater, not a pressure maker. It's made to heat small amounts of water at a time. Too small for a whole house.

Not sure how this regulator would function in hot water. It is designed to regulate water pressure at the inlet (cold side). Regulating the pressure after the hot water heater may place high (unregulated) pressure on the heat tubes, especially if corrosion is present.

The one I use is outside on my deck, part of a drip watering system.But consider this: most house hot water heaters are set at about 160 deg. Some may be set even higher. If it's for indoor hot water use, why not consider a washing machine hose, which is rated for higher temperatures.

Unfortunately I don't think this will work for you. I have had mine freeze up when it is only down to 0°F. so I think you'd have real problems at -40. There is not much insulation in there, so it might work if you sprayed more insulation inside and maybe put a gasket between the fixture and the ground and maybe another gasket on the access door on the side. I don't know if there are other waterers that would work any better. It is also critical that the waterline feeding the waterer does not freeze up below grade as it passes through the frost line. I had this occur to me one time and used halogen lamps to heat up the ground. Unfortunately I don't think this will work for you.

brenda : always best to confer with the manufacturer, but i would check two things first ..... 1) the temperature control on the front - increases or decreases warmth 2) the p.s.i. of the water pressure going into the unit may be impaired ..... rendering the unit down to a trickle ...... or also the flow could be constricted due to another problem in the line. it is difficult to diagnose not being there on premises. i have 5 units in my home and they are all working as they should. good luck. bill

It won't make water higher than 120. So &lt; 120 is a good attempt to answer your question. If you are pre heating with solar, you prob. are limited to around that temp.

I am sure that it can be used as a back-up for the solar. It will probably need some kind of diverter for the water so the water will not go through the heater when the solar is OK. Sort of like a thermostat that will open when it is needed and close when it is not. However, I do not think that this type of water heater is appropriate for that function.

I wondered the same thing, so I experimented with it. (I have two, actually). In a room that was about 42 degrees, they heated the water to about 52 degrees. I have to wonder why they're heating the water when it's not even close to freezing. A waste of electricity. I guess I have to go back to unplugging them when it's above freezing outside.I also tried it at room temperature, and they did not heat the water. So the thermostat does work, but not at the target temperature that you would expect (at or just above 32 degrees).

it can work if you have enough water pressure to push thru the heater...our hot water supply falls of when useing 2 water sources at once..but you still get hot water just not the high pressure when say doing dishes and someone takes a shower..hope it helps its a good heater so far

I use mine in hanging fittings all the time, with no problems. Though I have mine in open fittings, so heat is not an issue. If you put one in an enclosed fitting you may have problems with overheating.

We use ours on water heaters - have for 2 years (130 ish degrees). If you really need to know, liberty has tech guys you can call (number is on their site)

I would not suggest it. Few things.1.) There are three heating "silos" within the unit one for each breaker. So one "silos" wouldn't be doing anything unless you got fancy with the wiring. 2.) I think the device uses only as many breakers as it needs, so if the water is unusually warm I can see it only pulling power from one breaker until it hits the set temperature. If the water is unusually cold it will pull from all three until it hits the set temperature.3.) I do not believe the wiring within the unit is rated for 6-2 so you would probably mess something up.
