How many galleons does a 5/8" Dia. x 50'L water hose have?

We Answered:

I assume the 5/8" is inner diameter.

The hose may be regarded as a cylinder of radius (5/16)" and height 600".

The formula for the volume V of a cylinder is

V = ? r²h

For your values,

V = (?)(5/16)²(600) ? 184 in³

There are 231 in³ in a U.S. gallon, so in terms of gallons,

V = 184/231 ? 0.7969 gallon

or just over 3/4 of a gallon.

Water heater problem?

We Answered:

Your solar unit most likely has a electric element in it that senses a drop in temp so the other tank full of cold water is mixing with the solar one every time you use hot water.Close off the back up when not in use.
