Re: Battery set up for solar panels
You could install a dual sensing isolator to charge dual battery banks with the solar charger.

Re: Hot water and water heater
Turn off you water pump, open a hot and cold faucet, after water stops running turn on your engine that's connected to the tank. If water starts running you have a leak in the heat exchanger.

Re: Hot water and water heater
Ras is in Orlando, not Miami. It's been a while since they saw a hard freeze but they do happen. Spend a few grand on a large mature coconut or queen plam to be planted by the pool next week, I guarantee you you'll get freezing temps the next 3 nights.

Run down to home Depot or Lowe's and get one of these. IIRC the PEX tubing is 1/2 or 3/4. This would allow you to easily bypass the water heater and still use your cold. Your hot water taps would still have pressure as well but no longer have the ability to be heated.
Make sure you keep your water heater off, it will burn up quickly with no water in it.
The more I look at the picture of your heater the more I don't like the valve at your inlet.
I'm betting if you yank out the plastic fittings, install two brass PEX shark bite in your tank, it will solve all your issues. I'm betting the rubber in the valve is shot and you're getting hot water in the cold side.

Re: Genius or to lazy?
That defeats the main safety mechanism which is to stop the door before it hits you or your car.

Re: Genius or to lazy?
Saleen did some significant renovations that were all sanctioned by Ford, still carried a basic Ford warranty (although supplemented by Saleen), and had Saleen parts available through Ford. Saleen even had a hand in building the rolling chassis and painting for the GT when they were available.rasbury said:Wasn't tge saleen mostly just a trim package...like king ranch ...? I don't recall those being heavily modified like rosch or shelby...these new ones @Michael T mentioned I've not heard of.Rich_ said:And Saleen
But as mentioned, not on the Ford assembly line
