The Poor Mans Solar Heating Solution

This is my barrel washer. Basically I fill the barrel with cans and then add water. The floating cans get pressed against the roof as the water raises. .After its about 3/4 full I stop and tilt the barrel back and forth causing the submerged cans to fill and then sink. I then fill the rest of the barrel and repeat. Once all cans are sunk. I swish the barrel around and then empty, The whole process moves very quickly!
This is the case with 1/2 of an old double pane sliding glass door sitting on top, . . recycle!
This is the preparation as I look for ideas on how to make the manifolds. The cans are already cleaned and bored. Insulation will go behind them.
