Notes:

All pipe work must be purged and cleared of foreign matter before connection and before attempting to
operate the water heater.

It is important to connect the solar hot and solar cold pipes to the correct connections at the solar collector
and at the solar storage tank.

Connect the solar hot and solar cold pipes to the solar storage tank using only the fittings supplied.

All olive compression fittings must use brass or copper olives.

Use an approved thread sealant such as Teflon tape on all threaded joints. Conetite or O-ring fittings do
not require a thread sealant.
Note: The solar control unit automatically controls the flow rate through the collector circuit. This is achieved
via the hot and cold sensors and differential controller programming providing control over the operation of the
circulator. There is no provision for nor is adjustment to the solar control unit required.
