. At it's most simple, all you have to do is mount your barrels higher than the collector and thermosiphon will take care of moving the heated water. Depending on location, size of greenhouse, amount of water, &c, that may be all you need.
Sure, I'll use my blackmail photos of Eric to take care of it right away. Your next check will reflect the increase (less taxes, fees, surcharges and my commission, of course).
