Freeze Protection Information
The freeze protection method of this system is thermal mass and manual draining. In some areas an
automatic freeze prevention valve may have been installed. This valve will open during freezing
weather and allow a small flow of water. Drain the system as instructed in the Owner’s Manual when
air temperatures of 10°F or below are expected.
LABEL B:
IMPORTANT READ BEFORE REFILLING YOUR COLLECTOR
If you have drained your collector for any reason, it is most important that the collector be vented to
the atmosphere during refilling. Refer to the Owner’s Manual or the directions on the other side of
this tag. Only potable water is to be used in this system
.
