I installed a Solar Sepco 80 gallon tank 4 years ago. I went with this based on the what I had heard, the construction and the method of solar heat transfer. Installing this resulted in the loss of my external solar heater converter and motor as the converter was now in the tank.

Less than 4 years later, it is leaking around the converter due to a bad tank (not bad gasket). The cost to replace this "warranty covered" tank is $1200 ($400 shipping, $800 installation). Upon checking out alternatives, I discover the alternative would be to reinstall an external converter resulting in a $3000 fix. This is mighty expensive hot water for 4 years! I think it is time to look at propane.

There was a Sepco80 by Vaughn in our house when we arrived in 1987. 22 years later it has begun to leak, which is a pretty good indication of its quality. We raised four boys here, using hot water for laundry, showers, washing machine - the normal run of household uses. It is an 80 gallon tank and has never, ever run out of water, even at the holidays with four grown sons and three daughters-in-law in residence for most of a week. It is an expensive, stone-lined model that has been worth every penny the previous owners paid for it!

Dan Lehouillier Warranty Issue
written by Sales Rep, March 01, 2010
Hi Dan,

Please contact Vaughn or your wholesaler to get your TP fixed. There is a 10 year warranty on a TP, which the coil and gasket is replaced with an O-ring designed gasket vs the flange gasket.

Thanks,
-Bobby
