The Pump Station
This is usually located in beside the hot water cylinder. The control panel can be removed from
the unit and located elsewhere to provide more convenient control/display (by extending the
electrical cable running from the controller to the pump).
Connect the return DN16 2-in-2 pipe (the one carrying fluid back to the collector) to the top
connection of the pump station using a PAW self seal nipple and the back nut
– black rubber
seal facing towards the pump station.
Connect the flow DN16 2-in-2 pipe (the one carrying the heated fluid from the collector) to the
inlet (upper) of the water cylinder’s solar coil.
Connect the outlet (lower) of the water cylind
er’s solar coil to the bottom connection of the pump
station using a PAW self seal nipple and the back nut
– black rubber seal facing towards the
pump station.
The recommended flow rate for domestic hot water is 0.1
– 0.2 litres/minute per tube (i.e. 2 – 3
litres per minute for single 20 tube collector).
The expansion vessel can be located beside the pump station or elsewhere by means of
attaching a length of
un-insulated
copper pipe.
For full fitting and commission, see instructions provided with pump station.
