General notes 

 

We  recommend  that  you  engage  the 
services  of  a  roofing  contractor  who  will 
be  experienced  in  working  on  roofs  and 
aware of avoiding the risk of falling 

 

 

DANGER: 

Risk to life through falls and 

falling parts! 

 

Take  all  necessary  steps  against 

possible fall while working on roofs. 

 

Always  wear  personal  protective 

clothing and safety equipment. 

After completing the installation, check the 
installation set, the collectors and the tank 
are securely positioned.

 

 
 
 

 
 
 

 

Water Sample:

 It is mandatory to test the 

water sample before choosing the right 
system. The below table shows the
