1. IMPORTANT INFORMATION
1.1. Local standards Installation must be completed in accordance with the relevant
local standards and regulations.
1.2. Qualified Installer Installation must be completed by qualified plumbing profes-
sionals.
1.3. Pressure and Temperature Control and Relief
a) Solar loop should be designed for normal operation at < 600kpa via using a pressure
limiting (pressure reduction) value on the main cold supply line. System must be designed
to allow pressure release at no more than 800kpa (113psi) and hot water dumping from the
solar loop or storage tank once the temperature reaches 99°C
b) It is recommended that the lever on the pressure and temperature relief value (PTRV) be
operated every 6 months to ensure reliable operation. It is important to raise and lower the
lever gently.
1.4. Water quality
a) Water in direct flow through the manifold header must firstly meet potable water require-
ment and in addition the following: Total dissolved solids < 600mg/lire or p.p.m Total hard-
ness <200mg/lire or p.p.m Chloride <250mg/lire or p.p.m Magnesium <10mg/lire or p.p.m
b) In areas with hard water (>200ppm),lime scale may from inside in heater pipe. In such
regions, it is advisable to install a water softening device to ensure the long term efficient
operation of the collector, or use a closed loop for the solar circulation loop.
c) If using a glycol/water must meet the above requirements, and the glycol must be
changed periodically to prevent the glycol from becoming acidic.
1.5. Metallic corrosion
a) Both copper & stainless steel are susceptible to corrosion when high concentrations of
chloride are present. The solar collector may be used for heating of spa or pool water, but
levels of free chorine must not exceed 2p.p.m. b). In addition the warranty provided on the
heater when using for spa or pool heating is 2 years, which is the standard for spa and pool
heater. Chloride level present in most reticulated pubic potable water supplies are safe for
use in the collector provided there is no use of bore waters in the reticulated supply.

The system configuration may need to be customized to suit the specific requirements of the installation. Please ensure that any system design meets local building, water quality regula- tions. 1.9. Specs Model SWSP-200 SWSP-300 Gross size (L*W*D) 1945*1550*100 1945*2300*100 Gross area 2.94M²... -

a pair of metal heat transfer fins .As soon as the evacuated tubes are removed from the box, please put on the rubber tube caps, which are located in the manifold box. This will protect the bottom tip of the glass tube from being broken it knocked .Do not remove and/or expose the tubes to sunlight until you install them, otherwise the inner tube and heat transfer fin will become very hot. -

tion used on the piping close to the manifold inlet and outlet should be able to withstand temperatures of up to 200°C / 395°F (E.g. Glass wool or mineral wool-with an exterior wrap of aluminum foil, thus protecting against the elements). 5. -

Manifold Material The outer shell of the Manifold is made of 2.0 mm thickness Aluminum Alloy. We used the Rock-wool as the insulation material and the Flow Passage is the TU Copper. -

7.5 Pipe connections a) Connection to the inlet and outlet may be use of brass compression fittings (with copper olive) , or low temperature soldering. b) For domestic heating application with 2 collectors or less, nominal 15mm (1/2”) pipe is suitable. -

Air purge Once the inlet and outlet are connected to the plumbing system, the collector loop should be purged of air. If a direct mains pressure system is being used, opening up the hot water taps in the house and operating the pump at full speed should elimination all air from the system. -

10.3. In proper order Step 1: Open valve V1, V3 and V4, close V2. Start the diving pump to filling the medium liquid from point 1 until the liquid flow out from point 2. Let the circulation last for 2 minutes until exhaust all the air from the pipeline. -
Page 9: 12. Precautions
11.4. Insulation The plumbing pipes running to and from the collector should be heavily insulated. This insulation foam should be checked annually for damage. For any insulation that is exposed to sunlight UV stabilized foam. 12. PRECAUTIONS 12.1 Solar for central heating-preventing Overheating If a system has been designed to provide contribution to central heating, it will often provide much more heat in the summer than is required for hot water supply alone.

Questions and answers
The tank seems to be full but is definitely overheated and purging from the top. The computer says it’s only 25% full. How do we fix this?
To fix overheating and inaccurate fullness readings on the Enertik SWSP-200 tank:
1. Overheating:
- Ensure that hot water is used regularly. Overheating can occur if hot water is unused for several days, especially during strong sunlight in summer.
- If leaving the house, consider covering the collector or draining the system to reduce heat buildup.
- Check that plumbing is leak-free and properly insulated with materials resistant to temperatures up to 200°C (e.g., glass wool or mineral wool).
2. Inaccurate Fullness Readings:
- Purge all air from the system. Air in the collector manifold can cause incorrect readings.
- For direct mains pressure systems: open hot water taps and run the pump at full speed.
- For non-mains pressure systems: run the pump at the highest speed to force air back into the tank.
- If air remains, loosen the connection to the header or use an auto-air vent.
These steps help maintain accurate system performance and prevent overheating.
