I have an electric hot water tank in the cellar. Most pipes are insulated. Where ever I could reach
.
Heat is making it to the far side of the house and 2nd floor.
There are no leaks.
Hard to believe it can travel that far but it is.
Shutoff under sink it HOT. With everything static. If I shut off line to second floor it goes cold.
I see some folks don’t like the ball float thing.
Will loop work as well?
How far down and up do I need to go?
I see folks say a foot and that doesn’t feel like enough.
Ball float nipple sure would be easier / cleaner.
Also feed side is complicated. I have another preheat tank warmed by geothermal. About 100F.
Not sure I should put heat trap on entrance to either tank.
