HOW YOUR WATER HEATER WORKS

“ONE SHOT CONTROL” SWITCH

The “One Shot Control” switch has been specially developed to help provide maximum savings with electrically boosted solar water heaters connected to a continuous electricity supply. Power must be available to the “One Shot Control” switch before the booster heating unit can be activated.

The switch has a push button operation and incorporates a neon light indicator. This neon light will come on when the water in the boosted section of the solar storage tank falls more than 6°C below the thermostat setting, indicating boosting may be required.

When you decide the hot water is below a usable temperature and additional hot water is required, press the control button. The neon light will go out and the booster heating unit will be turned “ON”. The booster heating unit is automatically turned “OFF” when the water temperature reaches the thermostat setting.

It is not necessary to activate the booster heating unit every time the neon light is on (the neon light indicates the water is more than 6°C below the thermostat setting). The water may still be at a usable temperature for some purposes (e.g. showering) and you may not need to use hot water for some hours during which time the water may be heated by the sun.

Remember, even on cloudy days your solar water heater can receive diffused radiation, which will heat some of your stored water. On these days you will need to operate the booster heating unit only as desired. For summer operation it is recommended trial periods be undertaken to determine if it is necessary to turn the booster switch or one shot control ‘on’ at all.

GOING ON HOLIDAYS

If you plan to be away from home for a few nights, we suggest you leave the water heater switched on. If you plan to be away for a longer period, conserve energy by switching the booster switch “OFF”. It is not necessary to switch off the electrical supply at the power outlet to the solar control unit. Refer to “To Turn Off The Water Heater” on page 5. Also if the system is not used for a period in excess of 4 weeks it is recommended the solar collectors be covered.
