When they say the hills are alive, they are definitely alive in Switzerland. My husband and I travelled to Zurich in the middle of May. I knew my husband's passion for the European country was very strong, for as long as we've been together. After University, he backpacked there with his two friends but as a budgeted traveller, you're forced to see one country alone in a couple to a few days. This time he had dedicated a whole 8 days to just one country and I'm so glad we did as it turned out the be the best trip in my entire life. And that's saying a lot because I thought nothing could top Paris. But I realized why Switzerland became the best trip of a lifetime and that's because it taught me some really important life lessons that I wanted to share with you.
Lesson #1: Get out of the house and be with nature
Switzerland was the perfect place for us to visit, it had a bit of city and whole lot of nature. From the grand white alps to the rolling green hills to the fresh blue lakes, I never felt more connected to nature than I ever had. I remember the ride up to Mount Rigi-Klum, we took this little train made of two old carts up a massive mountain. During the ride I witnessed so much nature – little waterfalls falling from cliffs, sky high pine trees, clean streams of water feeding the luscious grass and woods. The waterfalls and streams kept the plantation hydrated and as such, the trees would replenish the grass with nutrients symbiotically. That 30 minute train ride made me see that we have an amazing earth that is fully functional of running itself like a well-oiled machine without any human intervention. However it showed me, that we need to respect this earth even more than we think and what we are doing now is not enough. As we finally reached the top of the mountain and there sat the most phenomenal view. It was the view of all the alps. As I took in a breath of the most cleanest and coolest air, I felt so fortunate to be able to see these magnificent rocks stand before me.
Within that moment, I was punched with the cold hard truth: if everyone carried on eating, living, consuming the way they do, the snow off the white alps will turn to grey from global warming. The rolling green hills may dehydrate from the heat and turn to brown. Nothing would look the same. I asked myself how do I keep pushing myself and others to treat this planet better and though it's everything I write about already: eating less meat, less consumption of material goods, waste reduction, taking public transportation and choosing to support companies that care about the environment. I knew it can't be on one person alone. It requires the help of everyone to pitch in so we never have to see the words "Climate Change" in the news ever again.
So if this tugs your heart, I challenge you to first get out of the house and hang out in a forest. I'm serious. Go on a hike. Take the family to a nature park. Walk to the nearby lake and watch the tides. Absorb the nature and teach your little ones about it. We are constantly surrounded by walls, buildings, sky scrapers where concrete is everywhere that we are forgetting what grass looks like. We are so far detached from nature, it's unnatural. In order to change our perspective of our planet, you have to go out and appreciate what it has to offer. Trust me, it's way better than a weekend at the mall.
Lesson #2: Stop running in the rat race
In Zurich, which is one of the busier cities of Switzerland, even on weekdays after work people take the time to enjoy a meal by the river. They spend hours sitting, talking and laughing as the waters flow through the canal. My husband and I decided to do the same instead of eating inside our hotel room. We grabbed our takeaway food from Migros and ate it by the river. We saw ducks swim by. We saw two large pigeons bully two weak ones from stealing their prized potato chip. We talked about what we loved in Switzerland. It was so simple but so enjoyable. I stopped to think, "Why don't we do this more back where we live? How did we get so stuck in this rat race where we rush to work, leave work to rush home, drink our food down and hop into bed without enjoying each moment?" It was then when I told myself when I go home, I am not going to adhere to my regular routine. I am going to break habits and change things up. Instead or walking through the downtown Toronto path, I am going walk outside. Instead of doing the same old yoga workout video, I'm going to do another one that challenges my body. Instead of looking at my phone for entertainment, I'm going to spend more time watching my husband wrestle with my dog. It is the little changes we can make to our lives to quit the rat race. There's no excuse, you have the choice to make the extra time and effort to do so or life will pass before your eyes.
Lesson #3: If you want something in life, go get it
When we were planning our trip, I was certain I wanted to go paragliding in Interlaken. I remembered walking into my friend's office exclaiming to her, "I'm going to do it! It's the chance of a lifetime." Closer to our trip and being the risk-adverse person that I am, I panicked about the idea of being suspended 800 metres up in the air by a parachute. Thoughts of me crashing into the side of the mountain and not being able to see my dog again entered my mind. I bailed on the idea and I opted for the safe mountain coaster ride, where you sit in a toboggan and slide down a mountain. It looked much safer than paragliding.
On the day we arrived in Interlaken, I looked up at the mountains and into the sky seeing paragliders fall like snowflakes. I felt envious of their bravery to take the risk and jump off a hill into the air, trusting that a parachute would catch them. My husband sensed that I wanted to do it and even told me, "You better just do it because I don't want you to live in regret" but I declined the idea again because it was costly (about 170 CHF per person + 40 CHF for pictures and videos). So we carried on in our day by renting some bikes to cycle through the beautiful town of Interlaken. We cycled through farm land, saw cows and goats, rode up hills (more like I walked my bike up), peddled around the town, took pictures by the lake, saw a cute family of ducklings pass by. It all felt so magical.
Near the afternoon, I became quickly tired after our 3 hour bike ride and I decided to return the bike where as my husband went off on his own to ride some more. How he has the leg strength, I don't know because my legs were about to give out. I spent some time by myself absorbing the close view of the mountains and saw more paragliders descend. That feeling of envy came over me again and I asked myself, "Christie, what are you so afraid of? These are trained paragliders who are taking kids up into the air. Kids! You're an adult." That's the amazing thing about children. They don't have a single worry in the world because they don't know any better. They go after what they want and more importantly, they don't live in regret like adults do. So I decided, "I'm going to do it. I'm going to face my worries and just do it!" I obviously didn't say this out loud in the park by myself or I would look like a crazy person.
So as soon as my husband returned, I expressed my decision. We headed back to the paragliding office to book the next available ride and the last time slot they had was at 6 pm but our last train back to Zurich was at 8 pm. It was really tight. The paragliding process takes about 1.5 hours if there are no delays. But in the end, I realized if I didn't go I would have major regrets. So we went up to the office, booked my ticket and to my surprise my husband also decided to come along too (previously he said he "didn't see a reason to para glide and it wasn't worth the money" 😒).
6 pm slowly rolled around and the van drove us the passengers and pilots up the very tall wooded mountain. My pilot was named Jero. He moved from Spain 2 years ago to pursue his dream here where he could glide among the mountains. I told him we were in a bit of a rush to catch our train and he kindly coordinated with my husband's pilot to ensure that we were the first two to take off. While my husband and his pilot were gearing up on one hill, Jero had me run down a different and much steeper hill, so steep that if I had tripped and rolled down l'd probably be dead. I slowly walked down the hill while Jero skipped down it to setup. Next to us, randomly, were some cows peacefully eating grass. As I waited for him, I saw one passenger take off screaming for dear life; she had previously mentioned she was afraid of heights. I thought oh dear God, I hope I'll be okay. Soon enough, I saw my husband take off into the air thinking if anything happened to us, then I didn't have a chance to kiss or hug him goodbye. I quickly snapped out of it, put on my backpack and Jero clipped me to make sure I was secured to the parachute. He stood behind me and asked me, "Are you ready?" and I confidently said, "Yes!" And he said, "Okay, let's run!"
We took two steps forward and instantly we were pulled back by the resisting parachute. He said, "Keep running!" and I took one more step and just like that, we were in the air! The cool breeze rushed through my body while the parachute loudly ruffled sailing into the wind. I looked down and the rooftops were as tiny as postage stamps. My ears were muffled by the high altitude and wind making my thoughts sound louder and clearer: I was paragliding and I never felt more alive than ever! Jero flew me above the tall pine trees where it seemed like my feet could almost graze them. He let me steer and it was shockingly so easy. I saw my husband waving in the distance while clutching his Go-Pro camera because it was attached to his wrist by a measly thread. We slowly made our descent and I was relieved as our feet hit the ground. I was more relieved I didn't fall on my butt or trip over in front of all the spectators waiting on the landing field.
Jero quickly detached me from the parachute, folding it back into the backpack while giving me his phone to view all pictures and videos he took in the air. Shortly after, my husband who finished his descent sooner than me, ran over with the biggest smile ever. He asked me how it was and said he would run back to the office to grab our things so we could catch our train (he's always so on top of it all even after falling hundreds of feet in the air haha). It was 7:35 pm and we still had to run to the station (11 minutes), pickup dinner (10 minutes) and hop on the train at 8 pm. I high-five'd Jero goodbye (that was his thing) and wished him well. We ran as fast as we could to the Interlaken OST train station, grabbing a cold salad and sandwich at Coop. With 5 minutes to spare, we had time to use the washroom and caught the last train back to Zurich. We plopped into our seats taking a huge sigh of relief that we made it.
This whole experience taught me exactly this: if you want something in life, go and get it. We had obstacles preventing us from paragliding in one of the most beautiful places on earth: the train schedule, the cost of paragliding, safety concerns but life is too short not to take risks and go after what you want. I remember when I first started this blog, my husband warned me of all the risks of putting myself out there in the public realm, how people would judge me, the nasty hater comments I could possibly receive from trolls, the high risk of identity theft and most importantly what the feedback could do to my own self-esteem. But I heard that small voice similar to the one in Interlaken, telling me, "You know you want to do it Christie. Stop living in regret and just do it. What have you got to lose?" And so I did, I started my blog and I paraglided off a mountain in Switzerland. As I age, that voice becomes stronger and clearer guiding me in what I should and should not do. I'm very thankful for it as it keeps me true to who I am and what I want in this life. It's important that we listen to our hearts, follow our dreams and never let a train schedule stop us from doing what feels right.
So as I'm now back at home writing this post, remembering each spectacular moment I had in Switzerland, I can't help but feel so thankful for my trip. It's truly a privilege to travel and not a human right. Thank you Switzerland for all that you taught me. That morning as we packed up our things and left our hotel (by the way, it was #8 on the Green Hotel list in Switzerland, click here if you plan on making a visit to Zurich), my eyes teared up. I knew it was time to go back to reality but for some reason, it was more difficult to do than any other trip I've taken. It was because I was the happiest I've ever been in a long time, which felt foreign to me in the past 4 years. I guess that's the thing about travelling, it puts you on this magical high of being able to wander a new city, see and taste new things. And then you think to yourself, "Could I move here?" and escape my life at home. But that's not life is it? That's a day dream. Life is not about constantly escaping your problems, it's about confronting them head on. Life is about knowing what you want, going after it and not letting anything stop you even if it's uncomfortable. I know you've heard these statements before elsewhere but they are said repeatedly because they possess deep truth. This journey is about jumping off high cliffs to chase your dreams with the wind trusting that you will land on your two feet again. Most importantly, it is about appreciating each day, what we have and living it to the fullest wherever we are.
Thanks for reading.

You've seen it in porn, you've considered its water-saving benefits, and you've probably tried it at least once already. But, lest you be misled any further, we are here today to say there are at least 16 definitive reasons why shower sex is NOT actually great. Let us count the ways:
1. If you think that finding the right position for sex in a big, comfy, non-slippery bed is hard, just wait until you're in the actual shower.
2. It's even worse if there's a significant height difference between you and your partner, because you won't know whether to lean forward, stand on your tiptoes, or just call it quits.
3. It doesn't matter how creative you try to get with the positions, because you will always end up doing it doggy style.
4. You'll slip around so much while you're at it that you start considering your mortality.
5. Because there is just no traction ANYWHERE.
6. Plus, if it's your turn under the water, you'll inevitably get too hot.
7. And when you're the one not standing under the water, you'll basically at risk for hypothermia.
8. And water bouncing off your partner's body will get into your mouth and your eyes, and there's now way to avoid it.
9. And your hands are so busy grabbing other things that you can't get the soap out of your eyes quickly enough.
10. News flash: water does NOT work as a lubricant.
11. And when it comes to oral sex, you have to very carefully avoid accidentally drinking a gallon of shower water.
12. At least once, you are going to need to stop everything and just catch your breath.
13. If you forget to remove your makeup before the shower, you will end up looking, in the best case scenario, like a sad panda bear.
14. Generally, you will most likely not orgasm in the shower, but you will probably leave with a headache.
15. And you will probably forget to do all of your actual shower things, like washing and shaving.
16. Which just means you have to take another shower, again.

You'll never see me more naked than this (thank God) but painful as all get-out.
But here I am. And that's a synovial cyst arising from my right L4-5 facet joint. That big sucker has got to come out.
So right now I am all prepped and ready to go. With luck and your prayers, I'll be home maybe tomorrow, but time will tell.
Something that tiny (but big by synovial cyst standards) can cause considerable pain across the lower back and down one or both legs. Fortunately, these things are non malignant but can do their damage in other ways.
"So doctor, will I be able to play the piano when I'm all healed?"
"Well yes, of course you will."
"Gee, that's great because I could never play the piano before."
For my first song, something I've composed myself when I was young as Amadeus as a child prodigy. A little ditty called "Bob's Gas Station."

Jeff, Gonch, Mike and Carrie review this week's news in the amusement industry.
Link: CoasterBuzz Podcast
(haven't listened yet...)
Apparently the Disney company is among those who think California Adventure has been a failure; there's a reason they saw reason to sink another ton of money into it...
--Dave Althoff, Jr.
There is 3G at the park now. Apparently, it's only at the park. Even in Sandusky, it seems to still be Edge.
There was no way I was going to trust AT&T, though. :) I used a Verizon MiFi to create a WiFi network, then connected to that on the iPhone.
You guys talked about the applause Dick got at the Red Garter interview and mentioned that you thought he wouldn't get that today. When he was introduced at the CoasterMania! Keynote, he got a round of applause. It wasn't a standing ovation. But, I didn't hear any "boos" either.
Well, booing the president of the chain/park that just accepted you into their gates for an event would probably be bad form. I'm glad everyone showed some restraint. :)
There was a certain percentage of people that didn't clap or cheer. But, the casual observer would probably not have noticed.
P.S. The 70's porn music at the end had me roaring.Last edited by Jason Hammond, Monday, June 14, 2010 11:35 AM

Today, the next big update of CoworkingLibrary.com was officially announced on stage in Barcelona at the 3rd RGCS Symposium, introducing the public, filterable and searchable index of 100+ research publications and counting.
I recently partnered up with the two inspiring and highly-dedicated co-founders of the non-profit Coworking Library project.
From the middle of November, I've been responsible for the technical implementation of their hard work over the last 3+ years to building and run a global free index of all the world's coworking research.
There's so many reasons why a global searchable repository of coworking research needs to exist, but for some brevity I'm going to focus on the 3 that drove me (and included.co) into dedicating tech and strategic resources into supporting another non-profit initiative in the coworking sector.
I truly believe that a resource like this will save a tonne of valuable time; ensure research and data isn't lost; and, inspire further deeper studies into the ways coworking is changing the world.
⏳ Wildly-similar Surveys and Studies waste a tonne of valuable time.
Community managers and members of coworking spaces are constantly being asked to complete surveys on their space, work styles, businesses, etc.
Many times these surveys are repetitive, with multiple requests for the same exact info from multiple students, agencies or researchers.
For years I've been looking for a way to shrink that time wastage, or at least make sure that the time invested is more rewarding for the participants, the students and the wider sector.
This brings me on to reason two…
🤷 A lot of the time, valuable data and insights are 'lost'.
For many many many of these surveys and studies, the results never see the light of day. This doubles down on the 'wasted' time of both community managers and their members across the globe.
With coworking becoming understandably more popular; the number of students, businesses and researchers exploring the sector and its immense socioeconomic implications will only increase more rapidly.
With the simple step of more and more survey takers or interviewees insisting that the end results of these studies should be shared publicly via the coworkinglibrary.com, this data is put back into the sector, allowing us all to learn from it.
💡 Through sharing, further and deeper research can be inspired.
By having an outlet for publications to be shared, indexed, and discovered; I believe that it will inspire researchers and students alike to dig deeper into the sector.
Like with many research sectors, the sharing of knowledge, data and finding will allow future researchers to enhance, extend, prove or disqualify previous and/or possibly outdate studies.
This drives even more research, findings and further propels forward a sector that enables millions of passionate people every day.
I'm extremely excited about this project, and look forward to seeing the many ways it improves the sector for researchers, space owners and members across the globe.
Got questions, suggestions or just want to chat about coworking tech? I'm @inztinkt on twitter.

Have y'all ever "shopped your house" to find a little wood stain? I can't believe I've been refinishing furniture for years and NEVER tried some of these household products to stain wood! I'm sure ALL paints and stains used to come from ordinary household products, especially way back when you couldn't run up to the hardware store for paint. Grab your glass of wine, a cup of coffee and a couple tea bags because we're going to have a staining party!
This is also a great post to source for ALL NATURAL wood stains.
Disclosure: this post contains affiliate links. This means that if you purchase from one of these links I will receive a small commission, but rest assured you won't pay any more for the product. Thank you for supporting my blog.
I want to start by saying that every type of wood will stain differently. If you are serious about using one of these methods, you always need to test the stain first to make sure you get the desired result.
For this post, I've used a piece of birch wood.
How to stain wood with household products;
Using Bleach to stain or lighten wood-
Let's start with Bleach. I've only used bleach to stain or lighten wood a handful of times. One thing I've learned……. it takes quite a few applications to really see a difference. A few tips on bleaching wood:
- Use a peroxide based bleach. DON'T use a laundry based bleach as it will NOT discolor your wood (I've learned the hard way on this one).
- Apply the bleach with a soft rag or paint brush to DRY WOOD.
- Sand the wood after each coat of bleach to create a smooth finish.
- Continue to bleach until you get the desired effect.
Staining wood with Coffee?
How about that old cup of Jo? I'm sure we've all spilled a little coffee at some point in our lives and we all know the result; coffee stain. Coffee can stain fabric, but can it stain wood too? Absolutely.
To stain this piece of wood all I did was take a soft rag, dip it in a medium blend roast of coffee, and wipe WITH THE GRAIN on the piece of wood.
I did three different applications of coffee stain to get this look.
Can Red Wine stain wood?
Red wine stains anything! Am I right? If it will stain your lovely marble countertop, you know it will stain a little wood.
How did I use red wine to stain wood? The same way I used coffee to stain wood. I dipped a soft rag in the red wine and applied it in the direction of the grain with three applications. You can see the finished product below.
How do you stain wood with Vinegar?
I want to talk in length about staining wood with vinegar. There is a right way to stain wood with vinegar and a wrong way. I did it the wrong way. I was told by someone that vinegar BY ITSELF will darken wood just a little bit- WRONG. You can see below that the vinegar did nothing to the wood.
Vinegar by itself won't do anything to wood. You have to add steel wool. The vinegar allows the iron in the steel wool to rust thus giving the solution that dark grayish tint.
To make a vinegar/steel wool wood stain solution:
- Add a super fine steel wool and vinegar to a mason jar and don't cover it!
- Let the solution sit for a couple of days. This is KEY! The darker you want the stain, the longer you need the solution to sit.
- After the solution has reached the desired color, stir it really well.
- After you have mixed your solution, it should be a brown color.
- Use a coffee filter or paper towel to pour the solution through to get rid of the excess pieces of steel wool.
- Apply your vinegar stain!
I've seen so many lovely vinegar stained wood pieces! I think I'm going to make this my next furniture staining project. Stay tuned.
Using Tea to stain wood?
Last but not least is how to use tea to stain wood. Since the pigment in most tea's aren't quite as dark as coffee, tea stained wood will look a little lighter than our coffee stained wood.
I used a generic regular black tea bag and let it sit in a cup of hot water. I stirred it real well and then used a soft cloth to apply it to the wood. I applied three applications. Below is what it looked like.
I hope y'all have learned a little bit about how to stain wood with a few household products.
As always, thanks for stopping by!

Boxed Set: Three full-length vampire novels and a bonus novella from four Top Authors in the genre.
Dark Secrets by AM Hudson
What would you really give up to be a vampire?
Ara and David fell in love under tragic circumstances, the emotions magnified by grief until one could no longer live without the other. But after David confesses that he's a vampire, Ara's recent brush with death leaves her wondering if she ever wants to see him again. In just two weeks she is expected to either leave her life behind for an eternity of murder in a cult-like society, or say goodbye to David. But when a decades-old feud between brothers erupts, Ara becomes the pawn in a sick, twisted game of life and death—one that forces her to face the reality of the choice she made.
Will David learn what's happened in time to save her, or did he plan this in the hopes that the brutalised girl would beg him to turn her?
Token Huntress by Kia Carrington-Russell
The sun's light dimmed many centuries before; now in the year of 2,341 rampant vampires now stalk their victims in a half-lit world. Humanity has been overtaken by a new society: one comprised of vampires, the supernatural beings that hunt them, and the remaining humans they fight over. The laws and rules that once bound our world have long since been lost. Now, the Hunter Guild struggle to stay one step ahead of the Vampire Council. Esmore, Token Huntress, has exceeded all expectations at only 18 years of age. She is fearless leader to her team, and she is relentless in her pursuit of the enemy. There is only one problem: Esmore is struggling to repress the growing darkness that seduces her from within. Esmore takes another step into the darkness when she encounters a teasing, tantalizing — utterly unignorable — vampire. The lines between right and wrong are blurred further as Esmore gives into her temptation, and her reality becomes deliciously tainted both with evil and with lust.

I visited Samburu Friends Mission from February 14 to March 5 of 2018, and I fell in love with the people I met there – with their faith, their hospitality, their joy, and their resilience.
Samburu Friends Mission, in Kenya, is run by Samburu Quakers for the people of their community. It includes nine churches, several preschools, one primary school, an evening school for children who are professional shepherds, a dispensary, and peace work.
I did not visit with the intent to make a video, and in fact, that was not what I spent the majority of my time doing there. But when I got home, I found I had enough footage to tell this story, and it is certainly a story worth sharing.
Here's a set of discussion questions from Friends United Meeting to go along with the video.

Custom Class: hero-slideshow
We connect all levels of readers with books they love.
From students' earliest years at Packer, they come to the library to encounter the amazing world of story. They are invited to interact with librarians who take time to know them as individuals. While this visible "face" of Packer's libraries is at the heart of our work, our impact is more far-reaching.
Our Hart and Blackburne Libraries are a pillar of Packer's academic program, offering outstanding and inclusive collections of fiction and nonfiction books with meaningful connections to students' studies and to their own experiences. We provide daily access to authoritative and up-to-date digital research tools to both students and faculty, on and off campus. We collaborate with teachers in all divisions, delivering information literacy instruction in our libraries and classrooms. Located on the first floor of the Front Hall, our libraries are in every sense central to our students' experience.
Hart Library
Expressions of deep absorption are everywhere in the Hart Library, a beloved space for Preschool and Lower School students, who visit in small groups every week. The Hart's collection of nearly 25,000 volumes, hand-selected by our two full-time librarians, has plenty to inspire every young reader at Packer. Students often come before or after school with parents and caregivers to borrow additional books or simply spend some time reading together.
The Hart's librarians come to know every Preschooler and Lower Schooler individually, which allows them meet our younger readers where they are. In conjunction with classroom teachers and our Lower School reading specialists, our librarians work with children on skills, vocabulary, and word study. They develop book lists both for summertime reading and for year-long reading, as well as personalized lists of "just-right books" tailored to individual students' interests. Our librarians also arrange visits from well-known children's authors whose works reflect diverse subjects and perspectives, so students can build an appreciation for the process of writing as well as imagine themselves among the ranks of published writers.
Blackburne Library
Students visit the Blackburne Library beginning in Fifth Grade. Our librarians host the "Drop Everything and Read" (DEAR) program for Fifth and Sixth Graders and curate reading lists for our student-driven book groups across the Middle and Upper School. Beginning in Ninth Grade, our librarians teach Upper School students research skills, such as using databases to identify and evaluate sources.
The Blackburne's reserved section of textbooks for students and rich offering of online resources, available at school and at home, make it an essential part of daily life for many Middle and Upper School students. The Blackburne is not a silent library, and because our curriculum emphasizes collaborative and project-based learning, small groups of students often come here to spread out across our tables with books and laptops, as well as poster board and markers.
Continuing the Hart Library's beloved visiting author program, the Blackburne Library sponsors a series that connects with the history curriculum in Seventh and Eighth Grade as well as an annual visit to the Upper School Chapel by an author whose work exemplifies Packer's mission.

Solar Water Heater Tank - Solar Storage Tanks
SolStor Solar Water Tanks are North Americas only complete solar water tanks and are UL and CSA certified. Unlike other tank manufacturers SolStor tanks come complete with two large internal heat exchangers and a back up 4.5 Kw electric element ALL In One Tank!. This tank is suitable for all forms of solar heating systems including solar hot water heaters, solar home heating, solar pools and hot tubs! With this tank you can easily expand your solar heating system at any time without new equipment!
Solar water tanks are used in solar heating packages to act as buffer tanks.When the sun is shinning, the water will be heated in the solar storage tank for later use, most commonly in the evening. Most solar water tanks contain a heat exchanger to separate the potable water from the solar heating solution (Water/Glycol), and have a great insulation value that can retain the heat for day. The SolStor tank has a rated heat loss of less than .8 degrees F/ Hour!
There are 3 kinds of solar water tank systems used in North America:
- Solar Pre-Heat Tank
- Solar Combo Electric Tank
- Solar Dual Heat Exchanger Tank
SolarStor Water tanks are North America's Only 3-In-one solar water tanks.
3- In-One Solar Tank
Solar Pre Heat with existing heater
Solar Heater with electric back up
Solar Water with 2nd Heating zone
SolarStor tanks can offer 3 types of Heating configuration for now or Future
- Pre-heat tank for hot water heating
- Combo tank with solar and Electric
- Dual solar heating applications
Pre-heat tank for hot water heating
The 1st and most common solar heating tank configuration is a Solar pre-heat tank for hot water heating. This type of solar heating system is used in homes with an existing water heater (electric, oil, gas, tank-less). The pre-heat tank stores the solar heated hot water which is then drawn into the main tank when the hot water faucets are open. This type of system use the large 14 ft2 internal heat exchanger to heat the potable water in the tank. The pre-heat tank heats the otherwise cold ground water before it enters the normal water tank. In this way ground or main line water of approx 35 F can be preheated to say 120 + degrees before entering the primary heating tank. If the heating tank is set to 130 degrees it only needs to raise the water 10 degrees instead of the 95 degrees it would have otherwise had to with out the solar pre heat-tank.
Combo tank with solar and Electric
Dual solar heating applications
Sizing a Solar Water Tank
Solar Expansion Tanks
Another type of solar storage tank that is needed and often overlooked is an expansion tank found on the closed loop solar side of the solar heating system. All closed loop solar heating systems must have an expansion tank. Sizing of the expansion tank is very important. Northern Lights Solar Solutions has Italian manufactured Varem Solar Expansion tanks. These are the only tanks that are manufactured specifically for solar heating applications and can withstand higher temperatures than other hydronic style expansion tanks.Learn more on solar expansion tanks by clicking link.
Technical Specs
Solar Hot Water Tank with a External Heat Exchanger
The SolarStor Series of solar tanks are an excellent choice for most solar applications. However, for those on a tight budget, there is a very affordable way to create a solar storage tank using either a new or used electric hot water tank and an external heat exchanger. Electric tanks are perfect for a solar conversion as they have all the ports you will need along with existing safety features such as a thermal pressure release valve and a build in drain valve. A average hot water tank can be purchased for $300-$500 and converted in minutes for under $10 in parts plus an external heat exchanger. To convert a hot water tank we simply remove the two heater elements which are threaded into the tank (1" thread). The top element port will become the supply for the hot water and the bottom heater element will become the draw for the colder water from the bottom portion of the tank.
In smaller systems you can allow thermalsiphon to move the water from the bottom of the tank to the top portion. Thermosiphon is the natural tendency of hot water to rise as it weighs less. As the heat exchanger heats up the potable water, the hot water will rise to the top port and draw in the colder water from the bottom port. On larger systems especially commercial, a secondary pump can be used on the storage side to circulate the water in the tank.
Below are 4 easy steps to covert an electric hot water tank. In this example we have used a heat exchanger as the winter temperatures get very cold and a 50%/50% water and glycol mixture was used in the collectors. However, if you are in a milder climate without hard freezing, water can be used and you can avoid using a heat exchanger, connecting directly to the water tank.

Days Like This
This may not be the most technically perfect photograph I have posted on my blog, but it is one that I will remember fondly.
Though his days of "freedom" may be numbered, but my son is still enjoying every moment of his summer vacation. For the time being, the looming confines of school are the furthest thing from his mind. Here, he jumps endlessly on the trampoline in our yard…I took a break from my computer (and work) to join him.
The sun is setting on another picture perfect August day. The sky is blue. The air is sweet.
We savour every drop we can on days like this.
