home made, energy star rated water tank idea.
ive got an idea,
that came to mind having a modern electric hot water tank that has the plastic liner and foam filled out side....
how about taking a older tank and removing the insulation and using the ins-ta spray foam around the tank versus the old house type insulation.
and you have a used tank that is now much better at holding heat.... ![Thumbs up](/forum/images/smilies/grinning-smiley-003.gif)
how much better i have not a clue other then just tossing around ball park numbers.
the other thing i been thinking about is, does the stuff that exspands less have a better R value then the sruff that exspands many times the size of the can ![Confused](/forum/images/smilies/confused.gif)
