Because the cold water coming into my drafty historic home from the drilled well is so cold there is condensation on the copper cold water pipes to the extent that dripping damages ceilings; condensation on toilets rots out floors.
We cook on a woodstove that has a heat exchanger. We heat with wood.
I wonder if the best way to temper incoming water temperature wouldn't be to use a boilermate sort of tank, the coil inside of which is heated by the cook stove or boiler, to heat the incoming water just enough to eliminate the condensation.
Does anyone have a better way of addressing the issue?
