Solar Water Heater - Product Review
Installing a self-contained solar water heating tank with a built-in heat exchanger and backup heating element is the way to go for your solar water heating needs.
In a separate solar water heater system, a water storage tank with a built-in heat exchanger is necessary to heat your water and have it readily available for use.
You are able to use an existing tank, but you will need an additional circulation pump. a heat exchanger and untold headaches you will face, trying to retrofit the existing system.

We here at Green Living Made Easy, installed one of these self-contained water storage tanks with a back-up electrical coil and love the easy installation and maintenance-free use of the unit.
These tanks are available in a variety of sizes from 150 Liter, up to 500 Liters, which gives you flexibility for small to large family usage.
Going with a tank that is almost completely self-contained will save you a lot of piping hassles, extra pumps and most of all, energy loss as the high-efficency heat exchanger is already installed inside the tank and the tank is equipped with a back-up electric heating element.
