No, the low thermal conductivity of anything plastics, resins, etc... would completely defeat the purpose. You would need a metal tank.


And above all the volume is insufficient...unless you can recover filters from municipal swimming pools (that's good, they're all going to be bankrupt soon...the municipal swimming pool is abundance...)

Go ahead, do your project with a resin tank! We'll laugh a little when you give us the first results!

Yes, an old non-insulated balloon could do the trick... no need for an internal exchanger...

So an old bladder tank without it with a "stoplarouille". I have both.

200 liters of tank with the bladder but without, that must be more.

Ah yes it's still big for a bladder tank!

What was it to do? A big booster?

I have a borehole and a 300 liter tank now.
