The ¾” cold water supply line to the solar storage tank must be insulated with minimum 7/8” x ¾” pipe insulation to a minimum
distance of 5 feet behind the storage tank, or to the wall if closer than 5 feet.
The storage tank should not be placed directly on an un-insulated floor or concrete slab. The tank should be placed on a well-
insulated pad with a minimum R-value of 10. An R-20 insulated tank is recommended for all Solene systems. If your tank needs
additional insulation, an “Insulation Jacket” is recommended. (Frost King or equal).
