Pressure Temperature Relief Valve Running

 

 

 

Normal Operation 

It  is  normal  and  desirable  for  the  PTR  valve  to  allow  a  small  quantity  of  water  to  escape  during  the 
heating cycle, however there may be a problem if the valve continuously dribbles more than a bucket full 
of water in a normal 24 hour cycle. 

 

Continuous dribble 

Try gently raising the easing lever on the relief valve for a few seconds (refer to 

“Pressure Temperature 

Relief  Valve”  on  page  7).  This  may  dislodge  a  small  particle  of  foreign  matter  and  clear  the  fault. 
Release the lever gently. 

 

Steady flows for long periods (often at night) 

This may indicate the mains water pressure sometimes rises above the designed pressure of the  solar 
water heater. Ask your installing plumber to fit a pressure limiting valve. 

  Warning:

    Never  use  reconditioned  relief  valves  and  never  replace  the  relief  valve  with  one  of  a 

higher pressure rating. 

 

Heavy flows of hot water until the solar water heater is cold - then stops until water reheats 

The solar control unit 

must

 be switched off at the power outlet. Phone Aquamax Service or their nearest 

Accredited Service Agent to arrange for an inspection. 

 

Expansion Control Valve Running

 

 

If an expansion control valve is fitted in the cold water line to the solar water heater, it may discharge a small 
quantity of water instead of the solar water heaters pressure temperature relief valve. This has the benefit of 
conserving  energy  as  the  discharged  water  is  cooler 

(refer  to  the  “Cold  Water  Supply  Plumbing 

Arrangement” diagram on page 21 for expansion control valve location). 

 

Gas Booster Operating Too Frequently

 

 

You  may  find  that  the  gas  booster  operates  more  frequently  than  expected.  This  will  occur  when  the  solar 
heated water temperature is lower than the preset outlet temperature setting of the gas booster. This may be 
experienced during periods of low solar energy gain or if there has been heavy hot water usage. 

 

Collector Glass Breakage

 

 

The Aquamax warranty 

DOES NOT

 cover breakage of solar collector glass. Check to ensure your household 

insurance policy covers solar collector glass breakage. 

 

 Warning:

 No attempt should be made to remove or replace broken solar collector glass. 

 

The  solar  collector  glass  is  not  available  as  a  replacement  part.  Contact  Aquamax  Service  or  their  nearest 
Accredited Service Agent if the solar collector requires replacement. 
 

Noise from the Solar Collectors

 

 

This  solar  water  heater  has  high  performance  selective  surface  solar  collectors.  When  the  solar  storage 
cylinder  is full  of hot  water, the circulator  will turn off. The water in the solar collectors will continue to gain 
heat and increase in pressure when solar energy is still available. 

 

When  a  hot  tap  is  opened,  this  pressure  is  released  and  the  high  temperature  water  may  turn  to  steam 
creating a sudden and loud rumbling noise and even a rattling or banging noise of the collectors against the 
roof cladding material. This results from the combination of the high level of solar radiation and the water in 
the solar storage cylinder being at its maximum temperature and is not caused by a fault with the solar water 
heater. 
 

Higher Than Expected Gas Bills

 

 

With the installation of your new solar  water heater, maximum energy savings can be achieved with careful 
planning of hot water usage. Check the following points if your gas bill is higher than expected: 

 

 

Is the relief valve running excessively? 

Refer to 

“Pressure Temperature Relief Valve Running” on page 12). 

 

Is one outlet (especially the shower) using more hot water than you think? 

Refer to 

“Not Enough Hot Water” on page 11.
