It looks like it belongs on top of a Civil War Submarine.......just kidding. I know you would have to have some storage tank available, because a bucket a day will generate plenty of hot water.
Great rig for a clever gravity fed situation.....off grid, and cost effective. Not so much for the 'City Girls' IMO, and not really for the 'hot tub' folks. Rugged products, for rugged people.
