Water discharge through the pressure valve All Envirosun solar water heaters have two pressure valves located within the system configuration. The cold water expansion control valve (ECV), located in the cold water supply pipe, may release a small amount of water from time to time during the heating cycle of the system.
Review these appliances to determine if the daily use is greater than the storage volume of the water heater. Envirosun TS system tanks contain 300 litres of hot water, if the hot water load is greater than 300 litres within a short period of time, there may be periods where the water temperature is slightly lower than normal.
TAV. This should not occur after dark. The closing of the TAV indicates that the solar hot water system is generating more hot water than is required. 55-4018 Envirosun TS Installation Manual RevR.docx Page 7...

Personally inspecting or servicing any part of the system is not recommended. Should you decide that you want to inspect the roof mounted system it is essential that you use all safety devices required to ensure your personal safety.
Solids (TDS) of greater than 600 ppm replacement of all safety valves at 3 year intervals is recommended. No Anode The TS Plus and THX Plus units have a 444 stainless steel inner cylinder for long life and do not require an anode for protection against corrosion. Danger: The operation of the thermal cut-out indicates a possibly dangerous situation.
This installation should only be performed by an approved professional with suitable experience and licenses, authorised by Envirosun to conduct the work. It is imperative that installers adhere to Occupational Health and Safety Guidelines at all times.
Envirosun has approved cyclone frames for these applications. Piping material Envirosun recommends the use of copper pipe, certified to AS1432, in the flow and return lines to the solar water system.
