o
Do not let the water running when there is no need.
o
Use the hot water at a reasonable temperature (around 42 ° C)
o
If the water pressure at your house is excessive, install a pressure reducer.
14.2 Proper Installation
When properly located (facing the right direction, installed in the right angle, located on an
unshaded spot, etc) your system should work at its best. Ensure that tank and panel
connections are proper and there is no water leakage in the system.
14.3 Common Problems
Some of the most frequently encountered problems are listed here:
OCCASION:
No Hot Water despite a sunny day
1. Check all connections for possible leakage
2. Check the heat transfer fluid in the close loop. Make sure it is full.
3. Make sure that the connection piping is not damaged in a way that it prevents the flow of
fluid. ( Too many curves on the piping line dramatically decreases the performance of
your system) Check if possible air loops occurred inside your boiler or collector during
charging of your system.
4. Check that connections and placement of boiler and panels are carried out in the right
way as shown in diagrams in this manual.
5. Make sure that your system is exposed to direct sun light for at least a few of hours during
noon time. Make sure that your system has been exposed to at least 3 hours of direct
sun light after when your system is first taken into operation.
OCCASION:
No hot water at all from the hot water tap
1. Check your pressure reducer.
2. Check if the non-return valve functions properly. The lid of the non-return valve can
sometimes get stuck.
3. Check that there is water in the mains.
OCCASION:
Manometer Displays “0” in the closed loop circuit
1. Heat transfer fluid may be missing in the closed loop. Charge the close loop as shown in
the relevant section.
2. After step 1, if the manometer still reads “0” check the expansion tank for possible failure.
Replace expansion tank if necessary.
