Heating Water for Nothing

Saving on heating bills is all important here and what with the warm sun most of the year it makes sense to use that solar power, but not with expensive hi-tech equipment but just recycled everyday things that cost nothing. This tip is just another example of that.

If the sun is shining, even in winter, fill a 2, 3, 5 or 10 litres plastic bottles with water and put it in a black plastic bin liner and leave it in the sun all day. In the evening you have warm water to use in the kitchen for washing up, washing yourself or showering under. (Another tip at a future point about home made outdoor showers).

Just a little bit of time and effort involved here but well worth it.
