Water discharge from frost valve

If  your  system  has  a  frost  valve  fitted    it  will  be  located  at  the  bottom  corner  of  the  collector. 
In temperatures that cause frost or freezing the valve will open and some water will discharge 
from this valve. There is nothing that needs to be done to the valve or the system, it is operating 
correctly.  The  water  will  stop  discharging  once  the  valve  has  warmed  enough  to  close  again, 
usually as the frost clears.
