think about
getting the right glass. I spent extra and got the glass the lets the most uv through. I think it was called Super Blue. I'm pretty happy with the performance of my homemade collector, even in the winter and cloudy days, and I think it is because of the glass. It took a little prying to get the glass guy to look for it, so don't be afraid to tell suppliers what you are doing. It motivates them sometimes. Let me know if you want want to get the name of the supplier. Thanks, Bob Gagnon

Tank is in the ground. Now just wait a week for my slab lid to cure so I can lift it without cracking it.
