 solar water heater works simply on sunlight and your local water 

pressure.  There is no electrical energy needed to make it function.  Once the system 
has been filled, it will operate on main water pressure or flow rates that are normal to 
your household.  The simple design and quality construction of the solar collector will 
provide you with years of energy saving, trouble free operation.
