Stores cool down at night

Collector circuit pump 
runs during the night?

no

yes

Check controller:
Manual operation active?
Tube collector function 
active? Store cooling 
or antifreeze function 
active?

Collector temperature is 
at night higher than the 
outdoor temperature

no

yes

Check the check valve in 
the flow and the return 
pipe with regard to the 
functional efficiency.

Sufficient store insula-
tion?

yes

no

Increase insulation.

Insulation close enough 
to the store?

yes

no

Replace insulation or in-
crease it.

Are the store connec-
tions insulated?

yes

no

Insulate the connections.

Warm water outflow 
upwards?

no

yes

Change connection and 
let the water flow hori-
zontally or through a si-
phon (downwards); less 
store losses now ?

Does the warm water 
circulation run for a very 
long time?

no

yes

Use the circulation pump 
with timer and switch-off 
thermostat (energy effici-
ent circulation).

The solar circuit pump does not work, although the coll-
ector is considerably warmer than the store.

Is the control lamp (LED) 
illuminated?

yes

no

Does the pump start up 
in manual operation?

yes

There is no current; check 
fuses / replace them and 
check power supply.

The adjusted temperature 
difference for starting the 
pump is to high; choose a 
value which makes more 
sense.

no

Is the pump current 
enabled by the control-
ler?

yes

Is the pump stuck?

Turn the pump shaft using 
a screwdriver; now pas-
sable?

Pump is defective - re-
place it

Are the controller fuses 
o.k. ?

Controller might be defec-
tive - replace it or contact 
the distributor.

no

yes

no

no

yes

Replace fuses.

Circulation pump and 
blocking valve should be 
switched off for one night; 
less store losses?

yes

no

C h e c k   w h e t h e r   t h e 
pumps of the afterheating 
circuit run at night; check 
whether the non-return 
valve is defective; problem 
solved ?

no

no

yes

o.k.

Control the non-return 
valve in warm water cir-
culation - o.k.

yes

no

Further pumps which are 
connected to the solar 
store must also be che-
cked.

The thermosiphoning in 
the circulation line is too 
strong; insert a stronger 
valve in the non-return val-
ve or an electrical 2-port 
valve behind the circulati-
on pump; the 2-port valve 
is open when the pump is 
activated, otherwise it is 
closed; connect pump and 
2-port valve electrically in 
parallel; activate the circu-
lation again

Clean or replace it
