My system works well because the input water temperature is around room temperature. I store my water in my living space during the winter so it doesn't freeze up.
If you were to pull water in from water lines in the ground, the input temperature would be about 52 degrees. It would take days for the tank to recover to a comfortable, usable temperature.
Gary did some calculations on how much energy my idea would use..

Nice to meet you, and good first post here. Welcome to EM!
Question - What effect do you think a solar pre-heater would have to using ground water in this setup? A smallish one, not one that's sufficient to heat the water for the home.
