INSTALLATION – SOLAR STORAGE TANK

The system is suitable for installation, and offers protection against freeze damage, in areas up to 800 metres altitude. The system has NO WARRANTY for freeze damage above 800 metres altitude (refer to “Warranty” on page 40).

THIS WATER HEATER IS NOT SUITABLE FOR POOL HEATING.

SOLAR WATER HEATER STORAGE TANK LOCATION

The solar water heater storage tank is suitable for either outdoor or indoor installation. Whether located outdoor or indoor, the solar water heater storage tank should be installed close to the most frequently used outlet and its position chosen with safety and service in mind.

Clearance must be allowed for servicing of the water heater. The solar water heater storage tank must be accessible without the use of a ladder or scaffold. Make sure the Temperature and Pressure Relief valve lever is accessible and the front cover, thermostat and booster heating unit can be removed for service.

You must be able to read the information on the rating plate. If possible leave headroom of one water heater length so the anode can be inspected or replaced. Remember you may have to remove the entire water heater later for servicing.

The installation must comply with

the requirements of AS/NZS 3500.4.2, AS/NZS 3000, and all local codes and regulatory authority requirements. In New Zealand, the installation must conform with the New Zealand Building Code.

It is recommended the solar storage tank be installed at ground or floor level and must stand vertically upright. Remember all local authorities have regulations about putting water heaters into roof spaces.
