Tempering well water temperature with heat exchanger

Insulate the pipes?

My cold pipes do that sometimes - but only on the most humid of summer days when a lot of water is being used, like multiple loads of laundry. I just havent gotten around to insulating them.

The only options for sweating pipes are to either insulate them or as you suggested, temper the water. That's about it.

If insulating is out of the question then the only option is tempering somehow. The ways to do that are limited only by your imagination and budget.

I've either seen it or have done it in a few of these ways.

*Use a water heater with the temperature set very low. Gas or electric.
*Fab up some kind of solar preheat for the incoming water
* Install a very large storage tank that allows the incoming water temp to rise a bit before it hits the piping.
*Install a tempering valve with heated water sourced from ????? about anything you can think of really.

In your case, realizing that you have heat provided with wood intermittently, maybe you could tap into that and heat a separate tank of water that could be blended in with the cold water during times when the wood fire is out. Storage is a wonderful thing in so many ways......
