Plastic Barbs Relaxing
- All the stainless steel hose clamps may need
retightening as plastic relaxes overtime (hand tighten only).

Silicon Joiner Chemical Attack
–
Disconnect a single silicon joiner, dry
and check that the water exposed inside section has not turned grey or
become unfirm to the touch. This would indicate chemical attack from a
pH lower than 7. Replace as needed.
X

Stainless Strap Fatigue
- Inspect all stainless steel fixing straps for wear
of PVC coating around the sharp Aluminium L-angle edge, which would
indicate fatigue working of straps. Replace as needed.
X
Mounting Frame
- The integrity of the collector mounting frame and
windproofing components should be checked for any degradation.
Replace as needed.
X
Plumbing Degradation
–
Plumbing lines and fittings should be checked
for signs of UV and/or chemical damage. Replace as needed.
X
Vacuum Release Valve
–
The vacuum release valve (7) is a critical system
component. It should be checked that it is not weeping corrosive water
onto the roof.
X
Non-Return Valve
–
The non-return valve (8 see plumbing diagrams) is a
critical system component. It should be checked that the 6mm hole
drilled in the flap has not become blocked and that the collectors drain
fully when the pump stops.
X
Collector Plastic Contraction
–
Collectors can relax and contract by
10mm in length over the initial first few years. It should be checked that
the stainless steel straps or fixings have not become too tight as a result.
If required, straps will need to be loosened slightly. This check should be
carried out when the collectors are cool (water flowing).
X
Debris Accumulation on Roof
–
Check that there is no build up of debris
around pipework or collectors, and that water has a clear path to run
down.
X
Debris Accumulation in Collectors
–
Inspect the inner of the collectors.
Depending on conditions collectors may need to be flushed with a
suitable cleaning agent for debris accumulation after many years of use.
