Annual Servicing
No annual servicing of the BoilerMate A-Class OV SOL appliance is necessary.
However, if required, the operation of the controls and a hot water performance
test can be carried out when servicing the boiler to prove the appliance is working
satisfactorily and within its specification.
At the same time, a check should be made of the solar system pressure/expansion
vessel charge pressure along with a visual check of the solar panels.
It is recommended that after five years, the concentration/quality of the solar system
antifreeze solution is checked and, if necessary, replaced.
Changing Components
Free of charge replacements for any faulty components are available from Gledhill
during the in-warranty period (normally 12 months).
After this, spares should be obtained direct from Gledhill using the ‘Speed Spares’
service, or through any of the larger plumbers merchants/specialist heating spares
suppliers.
Help and advice is also available from the Technical Helpline on 01253 474401.
However, all components are readily accessible and can be changed quickly and easily
by the installer using common plumbing practice.
Note:
The PHE circulating pump is a Grundfos UPR 4 wire type and any replacement
must be the same model obtained direct from Gledhill. Failure to do this will
affect the hot water performance.
The solar flow / temperature sensor fits in to a wet pocket. DO NOT REMOVE
before isolating / safely draining down this part of the solar circuit using the valve
provided as part of the fill / flush valve and the solar pump isolating valve.
The solar circulating pump is also a Grundfos UPR 4 wire type produced specially
for solar systems and is identified by the yellow label on the head. Again, any
replacement must be the same model obtained direct from Gledhill. Failure to
do this will affect the solar performance.
Take care when carrying out any work on the solar circuit as the pipework / solar
fluid could be extremely hot.
