I was looking for a recipe for swordfish and thought about just seeing if something like this could even be done. This is more than awesome; this is fabulous. I KNEW that someone somewhere had this kind of knowledge. Thank you for sharing. We will try it and get back to you. Oh and yes, what are the next steps; hooking it up.

I think it goes from header tank down to inlet threw solar box outlet down to radiator heating system, or into domestic hot water tank, hot water at your finger tip's, for free. 10 out of 10 for this tip.

Well- you spent 5 minutes telling me how to build a simple box, then you breezed right over the part with filling the coil with glycol? Maybe you could elaborate on that just a bit?
