What does Seasonal Use mean?

Picture
These units are designed to be used in non freezing conditions and must be drained are the end of season. Though these types of units are idea for cabins or cottages,  They are very easy to install and can easily be done onsite with simple "PEX" water line, the fill tank can be fitted with a simple garden hose, so if you have sun you can have hot water and a hot shower.

All of these units are extremely cost efficient and makes for a quick and easy retro-fit.
Thermo Siphon Solar Water Heater (LS-Series)
NON Pressurized 
Uses,

-Cottage Solar Water Unit
-Caravan/Trailer
-Out -door hot water
-Outdoor showers
-Camps
-All Events hot water

Principle

Thermo siphon Solar Water Heater works following the principle of warm water rising, a phenomenon
Known as Natural Convection, this to circulate water through the collectors and to the tank. In this type of installation, the tank must be located above the collector. As water in the collector heats, it becomes
Lighter and naturally rises into the tank above. Meanwhile, cooler water in the tank flows downwards into the collector, thus causing circulation throughout the system. These systems are reliable and relatively inexpensive but require careful handling during installation because water tanks are heavy.
