17. Repair Procedures.
NOTE:
The eco-SPARK solar collector is a very durable product, but there are a few steps you should take to
protect its longevity.
(1) Try to avoid walking on the collectors. If you cannot avoid it, always wear soft-soled shoes.
(2) Do not install eco-SPARK collectors during temperatures lower than 35 degrees.

If any of the riser tube in a eco-SPARK collector should become damaged for any reason, it can be repaired using the
(RTK) repair tool kit and (138G) repair plugs. The repair tool kit consists of a 1/4” repair chisel, an insert tool, and a (PVC)
carrying case. Follow instructions for repair:
Utilizing the repair chisel, cut the damaged riser as close as possible to the header carefully avoiding damaging
adjacent riser. (The sloped side of the chisel should face away from the header).
Spray the shaft of the insert tool and the rubber insert with silicone spray. Insert the insert tool into the rubber insert.
By holding the rubber insert with one hand and the insert tool with the other, gently stretch the rubber insert. As you
do, push the rubber insert all of the way into the header’s opening. Stretching the rubber insert first allows for easier
insertion into the header.
Pull out the rubber insert tool. Using your fingers or channel-lock pliers, push a poly-insert into the rubber insert as
far as you can.
