Checking the hot water delivery temperature,  
pressure and flow

Individually open each hot water tap or fixture in the house 
and check that hot water is available and that there is sufficient 
flow or pressure. Ensure that any fixtures designed primarily 
for the purposes of personal hygiene (e.g. bathroom, ensuite) 
do not supply hot water above 50°C and adjust the tempering 
valve as necessary.  If the hot water system is gas boosted, 
check the installation manual supplied with the gas continuous 
flow hot water heater to determine if it is operating correctly 
and for any other specific commissioning instructions. Clean 
any filters installed in the water system of the premises or at 
the individual fixtures as they may have been become blocked 
by debris during the installation and commissioning of the hot 
water system.

Now that commissioning has been completed and the 
solar hot water system has been setup to operate correctly, 
select the specific components of the hot water system in 
the user manual. Fill out your details, the serial numbers, the 
installation date and any important notes to the customer. 
The user manual (and the gas continuous flow user manual if 
the system is gas boosted) is to be handed to the customer 
or left in a suitable location on the premises. If the customer 
is available, they are to be instructed on the safe and correct 
operation of the hot water system.

If the flow sensor is to be removed after the optimal 
circulating flow rate is set, close the isolation valve on the 
inlet piping. Drain the water out of the system by activating 
the relief valve. Remove the flow sensor from the circuit 
and re-connect the collector array piping, leaving the flow 
restrictor in place.
Open the isolation valve on the inlet piping and refill the 
system with water, ensuring that all air is bled as per the 
instructions provided. The solar hot water system is now 
setup to run at the optimal circulation flow conditions in 
order to gain the maximum energy savings. 

Note: If enough circulating flow cannot be achieved it may be 
necessary to reduce the number of bends in the pipe work 
between the collectors and the storage tank or to increase 
the diameter of the piping. An auxiliary pump may also need 
to be installed.

Electric boosted solar hot water system

If the hot water system is electric boosted, turn on the power 
supply to the storage tank element. If the element is wired 
to an off peak tariff, it may need to be temporarily wired at 
the switchboard to a continuous power supply in order to 
heat the water for commissioning by a qualified electrician. 
Wait until the water inside the storage tank is up to the 
pre-set temperature of 60°C. This may take up to two hours 
depending on the size of the storage tank, the temperature 
of the supply water and the amount of hot water heated by 
the collector array.

Gas boosted solar hot water system

If your hot water system is gas boosted, plug in and switch 
on the power supply to the gas continuous flow hot water 
heater. Open any gas or water isolation valves located on the 
inlet to the gas continuous flow hot water heater.
