7 Inspection and maintenance
To ensure reliability and long service life regular
inspections and maintenance work have to be performed
on the solar system by a specialist.
As the owner, never try to carry out maintenance work
on your system yourself. Use an approved qualified
servicing company for this work. We recommend making
a maintenance agreement with an approved qualified
servicing company.

Table 7.1 Maintenance checklist
Checking the temperature and pressure relief valve
and expansion relief valve
• Actuate each valve manually by turning the valve cap
and check whether the water flows unhindered to the
discharge point via the tundish. Make sure both valves
fit properly in idle position.
The operational reliability of the solar system may be
impaired, resulting in damge to property or personal
injury, if the inspections and maintenance work are not
carried out.
The main maintenance work on the solar system and the
corresponding maintenance intervals are specified in the
following table.
Checking the charge pressure of the expansion vessel
• Block the water supply and open the nearest hot water
tap to reduce the pressure from the secondary water
system.
• Check the pressure of the expansion vessel at the
measurement point with a pressure gauge. If the
pressure is below 3.0 bar, increase it with an
appropriate air pressure pump.
• Perform the maintenance part of the start-up protocol.
