1.Important Information Ensure all flow and return pipes are copper with no plastic connections Always wear protective gloves and eyewear when handing evacuated tubes The installation of the solar collectors should no compromise the structural integrity of the building. Should the collector be located where is could be vandalized it may be necessary to install protective guards that do not detract from the collectors performance.
1.5. Metallic corrosion 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 2ppm.in addition the warranty provided on the header when using for spa or pool heating is 2 years, which is the standard for spa and pool heaters.

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 if knocked. Do not remove the and/or expose the tubes to sunlight until you install them, otherwise the inner tube and heat transfer fin will become very hot.
winds, additional reinforcement of attachment points may be required and can easily be supplied by your local installers. 3.7 Heat transfer fluid In the cold area, we recommend you to use the glycol as the freezing protection. The mixture percentage of the glycol/water, please comply with the relevant local standards and regulations or consult it with the local professional plumbers.

7.Installation collector 7.1. Collector Direction The collector should face the equator, which if in the Northern hemisphere is due South, and vice versa. Facing the collector in the correct direction and at the correct angle is important to ensure optimal heat output from the collector, however a deviation of up to 10°from due North or South is acceptable, and will have minimal effect on heat output.
5. Heat loss from the piping can be significant and should be taken to insulate any possible points of heat loss. Ensure the insulation material is tight against the pipeline, inlet and outlet. Using the silicone sealant to form a water-tight seal on the temperature sensor. The insulation foam should be protected against the UV.

9.2. Metallic components Always wear glove when handing the various solar collector components. All efforts have been made to make the metal components safe to handle, but there may still be some sharp edges. 9.3. Evacuated tubes Be careful when handing the evacuated tubes, as they will break if knocked heavily or dropped. Wear gloves if handing any broken glass.
