It is preferred to obtain a closed circuit fluid dynamic level close to and above or level with the
"MINIMUM FLUID LEVEL WITH PUMP OPERATING" text marking on the side of the solar storage
tank.
E.g.: If the dynamic level is 70 mm below the text marking, then place a mark 70 mm above the static
level marked on the side of the solar storage tank in
half a litre (510 ml) of water to the heat exchanger.
E.g.: If the dynamic level is 180 mm above the text marking, then place a mark at least 30 mm, but
no more than 180 mm, below the static level marked on the side of the solar storage tank. It would
be necessary to drain between 220 ml and 1300 ml of closed circuit fluid from the heat exchanger.
