what is the thickness of the tank
are you still using it? still no issues?
Perhaps painting the sides of the box in the ground flat black might add some more degrees to the water.
White is the opposite color of what you would want, I think.
What location are you at (state). I'm in Ohio and want to do this but don't know what to do about freezing temps.

Paint the outside black too, it will help regardless, with the outer panel not trying to sap heat away is just more heat that stays in the box longer. Good ideal
Please show us how you build this solar water heater, what materials you are using.. I really want to know…
i like that you painted the entire interior black, some people donet get it and i have seen people waste money by making the inside shinny??? , cool build bro
Nice!! 🙂
Very cool:)!
Why wouldn't you paint the outside black as well? I would think that too would pull some of those free radiant rays..?
I'm wondering at the idea of putting concrete stepping stones, painted black inside the box with the tank as a sort of heat storage system. Something very dense and fairly thick.
any plans for this???
Can you pleas tell us where do you live.
this thing will not help us in Michigan

Why not just use an old glass door refrigerator? You don't have to build it or insulate it.
seems very much like the 1st computers …
and one person copies the other person …
where are the HUGE ! Magnifying glasses to focus heat ?
where are the Mirrors to get more light down to the box ?
heating water expands yes so u can use that to help pump the water , or not use a water tank at all and use a Pump or gravity , theres even solar pumps …
all im saying is we can do better … and were doing great at the same time
I wish I would have made mine like yours now. I like the temperature gauge really cool. Please take a look at mine and tell me what you think.
Does it really even matter when you take your showers? I mean, the water heater will have to keep the water heated all day no matter what.
