regular tap water as a mixing agent is prohibited.

Proceed as follows:

4.11.1Begin by filling the solar tank with water. Do this by opening the cold water isolation ball valve to the solar tank (No. 23). When the tank is filled, inspect all threaded fittings and solder joints for leaks.

4.11.2Fill and pressurize the solar collector loop with water. Begin by connecting a washing machine hose to the upper charge valve (No. 9) and fill the collector loop with water. The isolation ball valve (No. 10) remains closed at this point. While the hose is still connected to the upper charge valve and the water is running, open the lower purge/drain valve

(No. 11) and let the water run out until it is free of impurities or debris that might have entered the piping as the components were plumbed. Run the water long enough to eliminate any air bubbles that may be trapped in the system.

Close the lower purge/drain valve. The collector loop now has been subjected to city pressure and the pressure gauge should read somewhere in the range of 50 - 75 PSI in most cases (No. 7). Make a final inspection of the collector plumbing connections to ensure that there are no leaks anywhere in the collector loop piping.

4.11.3After you have determined the integrity of the entire piping system turn on the circulating pump. Do
