Purging the Solar Collectors

 

 

It is necessary to purge air from the solar collector circuit: 

 

 

After installation. 

 

When  the  solar  system  is  to  be  turned  on  and  the  solar  collectors  and  solar  hot  and  solar  cold  pipes 
have been drained. 

 

After  maintenance  has  been  conducted  on  the  solar  collectors  or  pipe  work  and  air  has  entered  the 
system. 

 

If the circulator appears not to be circulating water around the system. 

 

The following procedure should be performed in the morning, within three hours of sunrise, when the water 
temperature inside the solar collectors is lowest: 

 

To purge air from the collector circuit: 

 

1. 

Ensure  solar  storage  cylinder  is  full  of  water  and  all  premises 
hot taps are turned off. 

2. 

Using a flat bladed screwdriver, rotate the bleed valve screw to 
the  open  position.  The  bleed  valve  is  located  on  the  solar  hot 
water inlet (from collector) of the solar storage cylinder (labelled 
“Connection  for  Solar  Return  Pipe”).  Refer  to  diagram  shown 
opposite. 

Mains  pressure  will  force  water  to  flow  from  the  solar  storage 
cylinder,  through  the  pipe  work  and  solar  collectors,  expelling 
any  trapped  air  from  the  collector  circuit  through  the  bleed 
valve. This is evidenced by water and air spurting from the drain 
line connected to the bleed valve. 

 Warning:

 

Exercise care to avoid any splashing of water, as 

water discharged from the solar collectors may be of a very high 
temperature.

 

3. 

Using  a  flat  bladed  screwdriver,  close  bleed  valve  when  all  air 
has  been  purged  by  rotating  bleed  valve. 

Note:

  when  air  is 

purged water will run freely without spluttering. 

 

Change of Water Supply 

 

The changing or alternating from one water supply to another can have a detrimental effect on the operation 
and / or life expectation of the solar storage cylinder and pressure temperature relief valve. 

 

Where  there  is  a  changeover  from  one  water  supply  to  another,  e.g.  a  rainwater  tank  supply,  bore  water 
supply,  desalinated  water  supply,  public  reticulated  water  supply  or  water  brought  in  from  another  supply, 
then  water  chemistry  information  should  be  sought  from  the  supplier  or  it  should  be  tested  to  ensure  the 
water supply meets the requirements given in these guidelines for the Aquamax warranty to apply. 
 

Water Chemistry 

 

This  solar  water  heater  must  be  installed  in  accordance  with  this  advice  to  be  covered  by  the 
Aquamax warranty. 

 

This solar water heater is manufactured to suit the water conditions of most public reticulated water supplies. 
However,  there  are  some  known  water  chemistries  which  can  have  detrimental  effects  on  the  solar  water 
heater and its operation and / or life expectancy. If you are unsure of your water chemistry, you may be able 
to  obtain  information  from  your  local  water  supply  authority.  This  solar  water  heater  should  only  be 
connected to a water supply which complies with these guidelines for the Aquamax warranty to apply. 

 

Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) 

 

Some water analysis reports may state the conductivity of the  water rather than  the  level of total  dissolved 
solids. Conductivity, measured in microsiemens per centimetre (

µ

S / cm), is directly proportional to the TDS 

content of the water. TDS, in mg/L, is approximately 70% of the conductivity in 

µ

S / cm. 

 

The Aquamax warranty will not cover resultant faults to the solar storage cylinder if this solar water heater is 
connected at anytime to a water supply where the TDS content of the water exceeds 600 mg/L. In locations 
where the water supply TDS exceeds 600 mg/Litre, the magnesium alloy anode (supplied as standard, cap
