I had mentioned a few days ago here that I was having a few issues keeping heat in my tanks. I was going to opt for a higher wattage heat source (CHE) but while I was at work the other day (Home Depot), I strolled past a display that a co-worker was setting up. It was for foil insulation designed to keep hot water pipes and tanks from losing heat. I must admit I was overly excited to execute the plan in my head.

I spoke to a co-worker in the plumbing department about how much heat the insulation can save. He was incredibly helpful so for $20 a roll, I'm psyched to wrap my tanks up in this stuff and post the results.

Anyway, I couldn't keep this little plan to myself so I thought I would share.
