PART 11 - SYSTEM PARTS LISTING 

A. ESTIMATED COMPONENT LIFE 

These water storage tanks are designed for 10 years of use. When installed and maintained as directed by this manual, one can expect 
many years of trouble-free service from this solar system. However, all components in this system are subject to installation conditions. 
For example: Where hard water is present, mineral deposits can shorten the life of components. Periodic maintenance as prescribed by 
this manual ensures that these components are well protected from such damage.  

B. WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMERS 

NOTE:

 WE EXCLUDE ANY WARRANTY FOR, OR LIABILITY FROM ACTS OF NATURE, INCLUDING FREEZE DAMAGE. 

 
Warranty periods for tank components are listed in the table below:
