Maintenance
General Maintenance
The solar system has been designed as an absorber of the sun’s energy to transfer heat into the
pool. Ideal protection of the lifespan of the system will occur if water is flushed through the
system regularly. Automation with ‘Standby Mode’ has been provided to facilitate this during the
winter period.
System Water Drain Down
The solar system must drain completely of water automatically. If the system is
unable to drain then this should be done manually and the systems controller
pump turned off.
Excessive hot water sitting idle in the panel during the summer months may
result in damage to piping if the system turns on. Please make sure the control
system is set to Pipe Protection. Refer to controller operation instructions on
page 08.
Failure to observe this instruction may cause damage and void all warranties
related to panels, pipe work and fittings.
The system should also be checked for any leaks during the inspection of the vacuum relief valve
(refer to page 18). If a leak occurs, it should be rectified immediately so as to avoid any roof or
property damage. Because most pools are salt chlorinated and chemically treated, if a leak is left
for long periods it will cause irreversible damage.
Check for leaks
Failure to abide by your maintenance schedule will void your warranty.
Panel, Rail & Mounting System
Keep clear of debris.
Debris should be removed from the surface of the panels and around the rail track mounting
system twice yearly. A build of debris will affect thermal performance if left on the surface of the
panels and can prevent the rail fixing mechanisms to function correctly.
