Introduction
Thank you for obtaining an Extreme Heat Solar (EHS) Solar water heater.
WARNING: Please read the complete manual before attempting to install the Solar water heater.
Failure to do so can cause serious injury and/or damage.
All EHS solar water heaters are very efficient thermal solar systems using advanced materials to
convert sun energy into heat energy.
This manual describes the safe and correct installation procedure for EHS solar water heaters. It
assumes the general knowledge of a registered installer and provides guidance in terms of the
installation of the solar thermal components. Systems must be installed by qualified plumbers and
electricians, in accordance with relevant South Africa norms and standards, National Building
regulations, Law and Regulations, Local by-Laws, including the following:
SANS 198 - Functional control valves and safety valves for domestic hot and cold water supply.

It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that they and their staff are familiar with and

rests with the installer.
The solar hot water systems referred to herein must be installed in accordance with these
instructions, local and national plumbing regulations, municipal building codes and any other
relevant statutory regulations.
Observation of these instructions is most important and failure to do so could void the warranty.
The connection, attachment, integration or general association of other equipment or parts which
either directly or indirectly affect the operation or performance of the solar system could void the
warranty. Other such equipment or parts not supplied by EHS, which may affect its
operation/performance, must first be authorised by EHS in writing to validate the full benefits of the
warranty.
EHS does not accept liability or responsibility for the final fitness of water for consumption from this
water heater, as the water quality is not affected by the system and is a function of the water supply.
This manual has been written with the intention of ensuring that the system is correctly installed and
that the owner/user is fully informed.
