During winter, staging tank in basement or crawlspace warms cold water using ground temperature see groundwater temp map Buy scratch-n-dent 20-30 gallon water heater for staging tank. Do not connect electricity. Insulate pipes. Net energy gain when staging tank heats from natural ground warmth or heat-pump exchanger or sun exposure Copper tubing can be used to make water resevoir.
