4.3 Safety
At all times the qualified tradesperson installing the Ultimate Solar system must adhere to occupational health
and safety guidelines as outlined by Workcare/Workcover in your state and/or country, and other relevant
industry associations.
The qualified tradesperson installing the Ultimate Solar system is responsible at all times for their own safety.
Under no circumstances should any person attempt to install an Ultimate Solar SHWS without reading and
understanding this operation and installation manual.
4.4 Water Quality
The working design of the Ultimate Solar Hot Water System helps protect the inner surface of the stainless steel
cylinder because there is not a continuous supply of water borne dissolved solids being brought into the cylinder
every time a hot water tap is turned on.
The stainless steel tank in the Ultimate Solar system could be susceptible to damage from very poor quality
water.
It is important to check the water quality in your local area. If in doubt, contact your local water authority or
have a water test completed.
Where the water quality exceeds the following dissolved solids, hardness and chloride measure the Ultimate
Solar SHWS should not be installed.
Failure to meet this measure may result in your warranty being void.
Total dissolved solids: 600mg/litre or ppm
Total hardness: 200mg/litre or ppm
Chloride: 250mg/litre or ppm
Installation of a quality water filter that improves water quality may be appropriate. Please consult with a
supplier of water filters and water treatment systems to determine the correct product. The use of a filter
or water treatment system that does not improve water quality within the standards set may result in your
warranty being void.
