Important Installation Check List
Your installation must have the following elements.
Correctly sized pump or pressure optimization carried out.
The top header pipe for any row was installed with a very small slope toward the outlet or is at least level.
Aluminium channel was laid top and bottom of each row or for a maximum of two rows.
The stainless steel strapping was installed with sufficient play to allow for collector contraction.
Ultimate uplift wind loadings were considered and panels secured appropriately.
A hot spot check was performed. All collectors are cool during full sun exposure (top of panels may be warmer).
Smooth flow is achieved; no air bubbling is present in pool after initial purging.
Frost proofing was considered. All collectors and PVC lines are sloped and arranged such that water runs back
into the pool at night.
A vacuum release valve
MUST
be installed on the roof on the return line.
A non-return valve was installed (with a small 6mm hole drilled in the flap).
Solar controller roof sensor was mounted on the roof and not on a solar collector.
User is aware of the maintenance schedule.
