Winterising System:
You may need to ensure that the
homeowner prepares the system for winter dormancy each
year, i.e. open the Manual Drain Down valve and empty the
system of all residual water.
✓
TufFilter
®
/ Strainer:
Depending upon your pool usage and level
of debris, the TufFilta® / Strainer will need to be checked and
cleaned regularly
✓
Leaks:
Check for leaks on a regular basis as leaks can corrode
metal roofs and gutters. Leaks should be repaired as soon as
possible.
✓
Non-Return Valve:
The non-return valve (see plumbing
diagrams) is a critical system component. Check that the
collectors drain fully when the pump stops.
✓
Vacuum Release Valve:
The vacuum release valve (9) is a critical
system component. It should be checked that it is functioning
correctly and that the panels drain fully when the pump stops.
The PVC piping should never appear collapsed (concave) by
negative pressure.
✓
Plumbing Degradation:
Plumbing should be checked for signs of
UV and/or chemical damage. Replace as needed.
✓
Debris Accumulation:
Check that there is no build-up of debris
around pipe work or collectors, and that water has a clear path
to run down.
