Types Of Solar Water Heating
Article by U4D
Solar water heating is used in heating water for various purposes. The main parts that comprise solar heaters are solar collectors and storage tanks. The former is a glazed insulated box with a dark colored interior. A bunch of tubes or passageways constitutes the collectors inside parts. A glaze is a coat of material that is used that aids in heat retention. The most common material used to make a glaze is glass. The function of the solar collector is turning the sun’s rays in to heat; while the storage tank is used for water storage.
There are two main types of solar water heating, passive and active. The latter type uses electrical pumps and controls to move water around the system. A passive heater uses nothing but forces of nature. It is because of this that Passive is the simpler of the two. Passive water heaters are divided in to two, Batch and Thermo siphon, while active are divided in to direct, indirect and drain back. The first type of passive heaters is the simplest of them all. It is comprised of one or more water tanks inside a solar collector. One of the unique qualities of the Batch is that it has no pipes. Movement of water in the tank is by natural means which include gravity and the tendency of hot water rising.
For the second type of passive solar water heating, the water tank is separate from the solar collector. Unlike the Batch type, the Thermo siphon is equipped with tubes inside its solar collector. Cold water moves through these tubes while the hot water is pumped in to the storage tank by natural convention which ensures that hot water rises. From the storage tank, the water is taken to home pipes.
For the first type of active solar water heating, the water moves through the solar collectors and into a storage tank with the help of electrical pumps and controls. Instead of heating water directly, the solar collectors heat a fluid, such as antifreeze. The antifreeze then flows into the sealed piping of a heat exchanger, where it is surrounded by water. The water picks up the heat and is transferred to the storage tank. A drain back system is similar to the indirect system. The only difference between the two is the fact that the drain back system uses distilled water as the heat-transfer liquid, and it has a separate drain back tank for the distilled water.

water pick question by InvisibleWar: Is it normal to see some bleeding when you first use a water pick even if you’ve been flossing in the past?
I’ve been flossing for several yrs now. I recently decided to use a water pick. To my surprise, I noticed some bleeding when I tried it for the 1st time. Is this normal. I would expect this reaction on someone who has not flossed.

Answer by Maxwell
If it’s a small amount of bleeding (slightly pink spit) then it’s completely normal. If it’s a lot, then you might have something wrong.
water pick…….. FUN

Does the Job With Minimal Waste of Space,
I am so glad to find an oral irrigator that takes up so little space and is so simple! I had one like this many years ago and lost it during a move. Since then, all I could find on store shelves is the waterpik, which is bulky, clumsy and WAY overengineered for what it does. The Redi Breeze works well, is easy to install and doesn’t clutter up my sink with unnecessary paraphanalia. I took this out of the package and had it installed within 5 minutes without any tools.
I keep my Redi Breeze in my downstairs bathroom since I already have a waterpik in my master bath. Both this item and the waterpik do a similar job (I like them both), but there are a few differences:
1. RESERVOIR. The waterpik has a reservoir, which is nice for adding medications to the irrigation water – I like to add mouthwash or hydorgen peroxide to my irrigation water. The Redi Breeze has no reservoir and uses water straight from the faucet, which is nice where space is limited. I prefer the Redi Breeze for this feature, but still like the waterpik’s option for adding things to the reservoir.
2. PULSING ACTION. The waterpik has a “pulsing” action and the Redi Breeze doesn’t pulse. I don’t know if the pulsing actually does anything significant, but it feels kind of nice. I have no preference on this feature, since the pulsing doesn’t appear to enhance the unit’s cleaning ability.
3. WATER PRESSURE REGULATION. The waterpik automatically regulates the water pressure and the Redi Breeze requires the user to regulate the water pressure manually. Automatic regulation has it’s advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of automatic regulation over manual is that it takes the guesswork out of how much pressure you need – not enough pressure will result in the product not working correctly and too much pressure will injure the gums… Redi Breeze users have to learn how much pressure is “just right”. The disadvantage of automatic regulation is that sometimes the machine doesn’t give enough pressure and the user cannot get more pressure if needed. I prefer the Redi Breeze for this feature.
4. WATER TEMPERATURE. Oral irrigation works best with lukewarm water, and you can regulate the temp on both the Redi Breeze and the waterpik. However, the water pik is a little better with this feature, since you have a reservoir full of water at the perfect temp – with no chance of it changing during irrigation. Just imagine getting your Redi Breeze to the correct temp and while you are flooding your mouth, teeth and gums with warm water, someone in the next bathroom suddenly flushes! YIKES! Your are now squirting tons of high pressure, scalding HOT water into your mouth. Not fun. Waterpiks are the winner on this feature.
Both products are quite messy at first, until the user learns not to squirt water everywhere – and this is harder than you might think. They both get your teeth and gums much MUCH cleaner than brushing and floss. They are both safer than floss, which can cut and irritate gums. They both tend to leak a little bit, but the waterpik leaks more than the Redi Breeze. Both products make my life much easier and I wish I could take one everywhere I go!
ONE WARNING ABOUT THE REDI BREEZE: THE ADAPTER THAT ATTACHES TO YOUR FAUCET IS FAIRLY RELIABLE, BUT CAN GET LOOSE OVER TIME. IT IS SAFEST TO DEVELOP THE HABIT OF CHECKING THE CONNECTION BEFORE EACH TREATMENT. MAKE SURE IT IS ALWAYS TIGHT! IT IS NOT FUN TO HAVE THAT LITTLE METAL CONNECTOR FLY OFF THE FAUCET UNEXPECTEDLY DURING TREATMENT. THE PIECE ITSELF IS LIKE A BULLET, AND WATER GOES EVERYWHERE WHEN IT SHOOTS OFF. THIS IS NEVER A PROBLEM AS LONG AS THE USER CONFIRMS THAT THE CONNECTION IS SOLID AND TIGHT BEFORE EACH USE.
If I had to make a choice, I would go with the Redi Breeze because it is simpler, takes up less space, and uses no electricity. I am glad to have both, because it is convenient to have one upstairs and downstairs. Both do a good job, and the differences are not monumental.

|Blasts everything, including amalgam seals and bondings,
On the pro side, this device will flush out all food particles stuck deep in your gums. I was at the point where flossing and brushpicks would not get that chicken or corn skin out of my gums. This product will.
Now for the down side. After using this product for three months, I was getting quite comfortable, too comfortable, and had the pressure up very high. The high pressure got between an inlay and tooth, pressure-blasted the bonding away, and flung the inlay off the tooth. Needless to say, I was shocked and made an appointment for the dentist. Dentist looked at my teeth and found that ten other teeth needed work (I had just seen the dentist three months earlier). Most problems were leaks between the amalgams and the teeth, as if something had blasted them away. He was shocked. I’m still shocked.
Be careful how high you pump the water.

|gingervitice!
It is completely normal. It happens to me as well, and there is nothing wrong with me.
if its not bleeding so much then thats normal, it could also mean that ur gums are sensitive to it, maybe gumdisease/Gingivitis.
Healthy gums are pink and firm, fit snugly around the teeth, and do not bleed easily. Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) causes:
Gums that are red, swollen, and tender.
Gums that bleed easily during brushing or flossing.
Gingivitis also causes red, swollen gums that bleed easily when brushed or flossed. gingivitis usually doesn’t cause.
if you think u may have gingivitis you may also need to check if:
Gums that pull away or recede from the teeth.
Persistent bad breath.
Pus coming from the gums.
A change in how your teeth fit together when you bite.
Loose teeth.
if you think you may have gingivits you mayneed to contact your dentis, and you may need to get deep cleaning (root planing and scaling)
hope this helped!!
wow yea ok … um im uh like just gonna never cum back to dis vid again kay

You’re a girl with no class- the pik works fine, just not with idiots(:
@shockmastershocksu i know, but advertisement is misleading. i’d think if something is 3x better (as effective as) than floss i’d switch to it.
@GarbageState it’s not supposed to replace floss
sounds like stans sister from southpark x
