COMPONENT LIFE EXPECTANCY

 

Installed and maintained properly, your Simple Drainback Solar Hot Water Heating System should provide many years of 

trouble free, uninterrupted service. The main component of the system, the Aurora Solar Collector, is designed to last 25 to 

30 years. Simple Drainback Tanks have a life expectancy anywhere from 15 to 20 years or more, depending greatly upon 

regional wa

Control and Solar Pump life expectancies run from 5 to 10 years. As electrical components, they are susceptible to lightning 

strikes or electrical surges. Valve life expectancy varies greatly depending on water quality and usage.
