This system shall be installed in accordance with:
• Manufacturer's Installation Instructions
• Current AS/NZS 3500
• All applicable local rules and regulations including local OH&S requirements
This system must be installed, commissioned and serviced by an Authorised Person.
The solar hot and solar cold pipes between the solar storage tank
and the solar collector(s) must be copper tube. Fittings used to
join these pipes must use metallic materials to acheive sealing.
Plastic pipe and fittings must not be used as they are not suitable
for the high temperatures and pressures that may occur.
IMPORTANT
Failure of plastic pipe and/or fittings can lead to the release of high
temperature water and can cause sever flooding and water damage.
Not suitable as a pool or spa heater.
