About Your Water Heater - Solahart Streamline Gas Owner's Manual

MODEL TYPE
Congratulations for choosing a Solahart
is designed for the solar collectors to be roof mounted and the solar storage tank to be installed at
ground level. The solar storage tank is suitable for outdoor installation only and can be installed with
Solahart 'L' solar collectors.
Although the system has a level of freeze protection, designed to guard the system from unexpected
frost conditions, the system is not recommended for installation in areas subject to frost or freeze
conditions (refer to "Freeze Protection"
NO WARRANTY for freeze damage (refer to
Insulation" on page 7).
HOW HOT SHOULD THE WATER BE?
The solar control unit will circulate water through the solar
collectors until a temperature of approximately 75°C is reached.
During periods of low solar energy gain, the water temperature
can be boosted by the thermostatically controlled gas burner.
The boosting is controlled by both the timer unit and the gas
control thermostat.
The water heater features a user adjustable thermostat, which
allows you to personally choose the most suitable boosting
temperature for your hot water needs. Refer to
Adjustment" on page 5.
To meet the requirements of the National Plumbing Standard the
temperature of the stored water must not be below 60°C.
Solahart recommends the thermostat is set at 60°C to maximise
solar contribution.
HOTTER WATER INCREASES THE RISK OF SCALD INJURY
This water heater can deliver water at temperatures which can cause scalding. Check the water
temperature before use, such as when entering a shower or filling a bath or basin, to ensure it is
suitable for the application and will not cause scald injury.
We recommend and it may also be required by regulations that an approved temperature limiting
device be fitted into the hot water pipe work to the bathroom and ensuite when this water heater is
installed. This will keep the water temperature below 50°C at the bathroom and ensuite. The risk of
scald injury will be reduced and still allow hotter water to the kitchen and laundry.
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
The temperature adjusting dial is on the gas valve, behind the
access cover on the lower front of the water heater. A setting of
'6' will normally provide a boosted water temperature of about
60°C. Each number represents a temperature difference of
approximately 6°C.
To increase the boosted water temperature to 65°C, turn the gas
control knob counter-clockwise to a setting of '7'. Refer to
Water Increases the Risk of Scald Injury"
