THIS WATER HEATER IS NOT SUITABLE FOR POOL HEATING.
SOLAR COLLECTORS
The 52L tank is suitable for installation with NPT200,
L or CSA2007 solar collectors and the 52H tank is
suitable for installation with SPA2000, NPT200, L or
CSA2007 solar collectors.
In Australia, 52H systems with NPT200, L and
SPA2000 collectors are suitable for installation in all
climate zones, whilst 52L systems with NPT200 and
L collectors are suitable for installation in climate
zones 1, 2 and 3 in areas not subject to freeze
conditions.
In Australia for climate zones 1, 2, and 3 there is a
risk that systems with CSA2007 collectors may over
perform. We recommend in climate zones 1, 2,
and 3, that CSA2007 systems with 2 or more
collectors only be installed at orientations between
60° and 90° from the equator.
In Australia in climate zone 4, systems with selective surface CSA2007 collectors provide optimum
performance compared with non-selective surface collectors, particularly in the months of lower solar radiation.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Working on roofs is and should always be considered a hazardous activity, particularly early in the
morning, late in the evening, when the roof is wet or during and after periods of rain.
All work must be carried out in accordance with Local, State and Federal Occupational Safety, Health and

Every care must be taken to protect and warn occupants of the building and the public from personal injury
which may occur from falling tools, roof materials, fittings or any other hazards of a general nature.
Advise the occupants of any inconvenience which may occur due to disconnection of existing water and
electrical supplies.
The connection, attachment, integration or general association of other equipment or parts which either
