    SolaStat-Eco Plumbing Issues. Disclaimer. For full information on compliance and safety standards for solar hot water systems the appropriate local standards must be referred to. All plumbing to be carried out by qualified plumbers only. We provide the following information as a guideline only to help obtain the greatest efficiency from the system.
  • Page 16: Cavitation

    Convert the system to mains pressure. he SolaStat-Eco controllers have an optional factory setting called ‘Pump Timer’ to assist in pump cavitation recovery. After the pump has run continuously for approximately ten minutes, it will turn off for one minute. This cycle is repeated as long as the pump is required to run and will not affect normal operation in a standard hot water collector and cylinder installation.
