<p>Solar Hot Water Heaters are quickly becoming the most popular and cost-effective use of Solar Energy in the residential market across the United States. At a time when the average American household spends up to (and in some cases, more) of their annual energy bills on heating their homes and their water for domestic uses, Solar Hot Water Heaters present a very efficient and affordable way to cut your rising heating bills by 65 to 85%.</p>
<p>SunMaxx Solar Hot Water Heaters cover the most extensive and lowest-priced Solar Hot Water Heaters available on the market today. Where most Evacuated Tube Solar Collectors for Solar Hot Water Heating, like the Thermomax Collectors, cost upwards of $2,000 a collector, <a href="http://www.siliconsolar.com/solar-evacuated-tube-collectors.php">SunMaxx Evacuated Tube Solar Collectors</a> are a great relief, retailing for only $825 per collector.</p>
<p>There is one additional service that SunMaxx provides that most Solar Hot Water Heater Dealers fail to mention to their customers is that hard water is extremely damaging to Solar Hot Water Heaters, and severely limits the efficiency of your heater, which also lengthens your payback period and lowers your lifetime return on investment dramatically.</p>
<p>The problem is that Solar Hot Water Heaters take advantage of Heat Exchangers to thermally transfer heat from the solar collectors to your potable hot water. By design, heat exchangers are very thin, with extremely small water flow areas. When your water is hard, it contains small (or large) amounts of substances like calcium that can build up on metallic surfaces (you have likely seen this on your faucets, sinks and shower) which can restrict, or even stop the flow of water through your heat exchanger. If this happens, your Solar Hot Water Heater turns into a multiple thousand dollar roof ornament for your home, as it will not heat hot water.</p>
<p>The SunMaxx Solar Team educates their customers, dealers, and potential clients to this fact so that they understand the realities of hard water and Solar Hot Water Heaters before making the investment in a Sunmaxx Solar Hot Water Heater. SunMaxx is also currently working to set up arrangements with water treatment specialists across the country to offer free water testing and treating specials to their customers before they purchase <a href="http://www.siliconsolar.com/brazed-plate-heat-exchangers.php">SunMaxx Solar Hot Water Heaters</a>.</p>
