Greetings Travis,

Bob Ramlow is writing the book on this subject and has installed several
such systems.  He also teaches a one-day workshop that covers these
systems for the MREA.  You may be able to hook up with Bob thru the MREA
at www.the-mrea.org or 715-592-6595 (or contact me off-list for more
info).

Good luck,

Subject: Solar Hot Water [RE-wrenches]

Hello All,

Can anyone refer me a source of information for the solar space heating
system where you bury the tubing several feet (?) under the slab (in
sand?)?  It seems like I remember... the idea being that sometime late
in the summer you start diverting heat to this loop and pump all that
unused heat there.  By the time it's getting cold and you need the heat
it's rising up to the slab.  At the proper time you switch over and
start heating the slab directly with the solar collectors.

We are preparing to build a new shop, we've already got thousands of
feet PEX tubing and manifolds, and I just bought 11 used 4x10's from
Smitty at AAA Solar.

Thanks in advance.
