Should the supply water have values that exceed the reference limits given, above all if the
hardness is >26°F (15°T equal to 267 ppm of CaCO
3
), it is advisable to place suitable
filtering, scaling and/or softening devices downstream of the collector.
If you do not know the reference values of the water used, have a chemical analysis carried
out before installing.
LIMITS OF USE
The
“EGO” solar collector with integrated storage can be supplied with any type of water,
excluding sea water, swimming pool water and fluids other than water.
Incorrect use of the supply fluid renders all guarantees on the solar collector
null and void (see GUARANTEES chapter).
RESISTANCE TO CORROSION
Beyond the indications given above, the components of
“EGO”
solar collector with
integrated storage that come into contact with the supply water were made using top
quality raw materials, and can resist higher levels of chemical aggression (corrosion) than
those that can occur in normal usage conditions.
With reference to the amount of chlorides in water, the standard limit of 250 mg/l was set
for the water to be defined as drinkable. In normal applications, this level is often exceeded
(500-700 mg/l), in some cases greatly (1,000 mg/l).
Given that with these values of chlorides the domestic water is not suitable for human use,
and in these cases the manufacturer will not recognise any guarantee rights, the tank in the
“EGO”
solar collector with integrated storage and the other components that come into
contact with the water can resist extremely high levels of chlorides (specific tests carried
out by accredited laboratories showed resistance to corrosion at values of beyond 4,000
mg/l of chlorides).
This characteristic gives the
“EGO”
solar collector with integrated storage application
limits and conditions of use that are much higher than those of similar systems.
