CLOUDS OF WHITE ‘VAPOUR’ FROM THE FLUE TERMINAL
During the heating cycle, it is not unusual to see water vapour
clouds steaming from the flue terminal, particularly on cold days.
This is normal operation of the water heater.
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE DISCHARGING
A pressure relief valve is incorporated into the water heater
controls. This valve protects the water heater, by allowing water
to escape, in the event of excessive pressure build up in the
waterways.
•
Normal operation
A small volume of water may discharge from the bottom of
the water heater when a hot tap is suddenly closed.
•
Continuous dribble
A continuous dribble may indicate the water supply pressure is above the design pressure for the
water heater. If so, a pressure limiting valve must be installed on the cold water supply pipe to the
water heater (refer to
“Mains Water Supply”
on page 15).
ERROR CODE
The water heater provides a diagnostic error code in the event of an interruption to its operation. The
error code is displayed on the front of the water heater on the OK MONITOR. If an error code appears:
•
Close the hot tap and switch off the electrical supply to the
water heater.
•
Wait 5 minutes, then switch on the electrical supply to the
water heater and open a hot tap.
If the error code persists, take note of the code and turn off the
hot tap. Phone your nearest Solahart Dealer to arrange for
inspection.
HIGH GAS BILLS
Should you at any time, feel your gas account is too high, we
suggest you check the following points:
•
Is one outlet (especially the shower) using more hot water
than you think? Carefully review the family’s hot water
usage. Inexpensive flow control valves can be easily fitted to
the shower outlets to reduce water usage.
•
Consider recent changes to your hot water usage pattern
and check if there has been any increase in tariffs since
your previous account.
IF YOU HAVE CHECKED ALL THE FOREGOING AND STILL BELIEVE YOU NEED ASSISTANCE,
CALL YOUR NEAREST SOLAHART DEALER.
