so lets discuss the heater, its a radiator in a fire. great amount of surface area and the water comes out ouchy hot, however, due to an unforseen and now unbleedable air pocket in the rad which i should of bleed as i built it, , some times the thermo syphon can change direction due to steam expanding the air pocket.pushing hot water the other way, so, i dismantled that solar water filter above and will jam the solar pump on the radiator intake this will keep the radiator cooler. so not reaching steam temps.

Eventually steam will displace the air. Then when it cools it goes back to water, and no more air pocket.

There really SHOULD be a bleed valve somewhere on it correct?
Otherwise, pull the drain end out and hold it above the radiator, and pump the water through until all the air has been pushed out, put this back in your pool and keep this and your feeder hose submerged and you will effectively a closed circuit.
a simple check valve should fix that.
funny enuff we had that discussion today… the air worked it self out. I cba to take out the rad to bleed it. I got way too drunk yestiday…

So the cabin has become a dark damp dank hole festering in all kinds of fungal life… it was inevitable really. So its gona be dismantled and filled in.
We also plan to expand the lower phase. Ive chopped down the arch and build a new retaining wall today isnt it pritty. We plan to expand this layer to this wall. And reclaim some of the space the cabin used to take up.
Im starting together a hang of this walling malachi. Threw this togeather in an afternoon.
