“Daryl from Windsor in NSW came up with an innovative solution using two ordinary wheelie bins that are filled with compost and a wound central pipe arrangement to turn cold water hot very quickly.
How does it work?
“What I have made is a compost heater, inside a wheelie bin with 20 mm poly pipe coiled around the inside wall of a pipe – about 8 metres in each bin.” he says.
Compost can reach a core temperature of 70 degrees Centigrade.
Conventional Hot Water systems are thermostatically set to heat the water to around 65 – 70 degrees centigrade.
So at it’s peak this system will create very hot water for free…”
