I did one of these a few months back. It had a brass tank with 20 ft of copper tubing wrapped around it and soldered to it. The entire thing was completely dipped in solder it seems, I thought this...

Yes actually, some aluminum wire is not the 99% aluminum 1000 series wire but the much stiffer 8xxx alloys, some with trade names, none of which I can recall at the moment, made to replace those with...

I assumed as much but thought it couldn't hurt to ask. As it turns out you're correct, for liability reasons (that I completely understand) he can't give me written permission to enter the buildings,...
