SOLENE FREEZE PROTECTION INSTRUCTIONS
(Models SLAR32DC-66, SLAR40DC-80, SLAR64DC-120, SLAR80DC-120)
Your Solene Solar System has a Freeze Valve on the roof that protects your system from freezing. During
near freezing conditions this valve will allow water to flow through the collector from the storage tank
and trickle onto the roof. This Freeze Valve needs water pressure to operate properly. DO NOT CLOSE
THE ISOLATION VALVES unless you are going to completely drain your solar system as described
below.
MANUAL DRAIN DOWN FREEZE PROTECTION
– Follow these steps:
Disconnect the wires from the PV Panel to the Circulation Pump.
Close both Isolation Valves.
Connect drain hose to the Drain Valve on the return line of the solar system, or
use a water vessel to catch the water. Open the Drain Valve on the return line.
(CAUTION - WATER MAY BE EXTREMELY HOT - POSSIBLE STEAM)
Allow all water to drain out of the solar system.
Move drain hose or water vessel to the Drain Valve on the feed line below the
circulation pump and open the Drain Valve on the feed line.
Leave these Drain Valves open while your system is turned off.
