There are a few areas in which Israel is better off than the U.S. and one of the most interesting is solar water heaters. Everybody, and I mean everyone has them. In fact, I don’t even think there are other options.

Even this apartment building (which has clearly seen better days) shows a good example of how many water heaters are around…

Question by : My solar water heater panel pipes made of copper is chocked by salt deposits from the bore well water. Pl let?
solar panel chocked due to the deposits of salt like white granules thus preventing the water from getting circulated through the pipe lines inside the panel and not getting hot water properly.

  2. If the water still flows at all could you try a ‘descaling’ solution.
    Try the manufacturer of the panels as you surely can’t be the only customer to have their kit in a hard water situation without a softener in line before the fine pipes.
