Start-up
The start-up consists of the first filling with water after installation. Fill with water within 2
months after installation and in any case only ever remove the covering sheet after the system
has been filled and is stably under pressure.
All the uses except start-up
If it is not possible to cover with the standard sheet supplied, always keep the system primed
with water and stably under pressure.
Filling
a) Connect the cold water supply line (from the mains or a well, etc.) to the inlet connection
as indicated in the basic hydraulic connection diagram.
NOTE
: The outlet connection must be free, if a drainage tap for venting the system has been installed upstream from the
by-pass valve, this must be opened.
b) Open the supply tap and begin to fill the accumulation tank until the water has filled all
the cylinders and the air inside has been vented through the outlet connection.
ATTENTION!
Repeat the filling and venting operations several times, making sure that no
bubbles or pockets of air remain inside the accumulation tank. If any air remains inside it
could compromise the correct operation of the system and even damage the collector itself.
c) Allow the water to flow inside the system for a certain period of time, in order to rinse
out any deposits or residues that could have entered the tank during installation. Convey
the exiting water down the drain.
In any case, it is recommended not to use the water as “drinking” water for the first two
weeks after filling and putting the collector operation.
d) Close the drainage tap upstream from the cold water inlet and connect the return line
to the by-pass valve installed on the outlet connection, as indicated in the basic hydrau-
lic connection diagram.
e) Re-open the cold water drainage tap again, check the correct installation of all the safety
components and also check that there are no leaks along the supply lines.
Make sure that all the safety components have been installed according to the instructions in
the basic hydraulic connection diagram before opening the water supply and putting the sy-
stem into operation.
f) Lastly, turn on the hot water tap to check the correct supply of water and eliminate any
residual air in the supply line of the system.
g) After this operation, it will be possible to remove the covering sheet.
Due to the thermal inertia of the system, the solar collector with integradìted
EGO PRIME
storage will take a few sunny days to go to full capacity. Normally the system will reach
temperatures of use after a day of full sun.
