Wow. That sort of engineering is just plain scary. Wonder what other interesting things he's bequeathed to mankind!

When I built my current greenhouse, I installed a tankless water heater and mixing valve to provide tempered water for watering. The secondary benefit is as a backup heating system if I suffer an electric or heater failure in winter. I can crank the mixing valve to hot and spray hot water through several Fog-it misting nozzles (in the aisles, not on the plants). In general, orchids are not happy with 40 degree water(unless the alternative is freezing).

I have a large aquarium heater in my RO tank, keeping it at about 75°.

I use warm water in the winter, but when I put them outside in the greenhouse for the summer I use water from my koi pond. It is always warmer then the air.
