What happens to your security when the power goes off? Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that. **In this guide you will see:** - Vacuum tubes lose very little heat. - Price rises with capacity and tube count. - Pressurised versions cost more but give stronger flow. Quick answer Evacuated tube solar water heaters use rows of double-walled glass tubes with a vacuum between the walls, which keeps heat in, so they stay efficient in the mornings, evenings and cooler weather. Price depends mostly on tank capacity, number and type of tubes, and whether the system is pressurised.
