WATER HEATER APPLICATION
This water heater is designed for use in a single family domestic dwelling for the purpose of heating potable
water. Its use in an application other than this may shorten its life.
If this water heater is to be used where an uninterrupted hot water supply is necessary for the application or
business, then there should be redundancy within the hot water system design. This should ensure the
continuity of hot water supply in the event that this water heater was to become inoperable for any reason.
We recommend you provide advice to the system owner about their needs and building backup redundancy
into the hot water supply system.
Note: AS 3498 requires that a water heater provides the means to inhibit the growth of Legionella bacteria in
potable water. This water heater can satisfy this AS 3498 requirement provided the electric booster is
energised for a sufficient period each day and the electric booster thermostat setting is 60°C or higher.
SOLAR WATER HEATER STORAGE TANK LOCATION
The solar storage tank is suitable for either outdoor or indoor installation. The solar storage tank should be
installed close to the most frequently used outlet and its position chosen with safety and service in mind.
Consideration must also be given to the position of the
solar storage tank in relation to the solar collectors. There
are limitations on both the maximum length of the solar hot
and solar cold pipes and the maximum height between the
solar storage tank and the solar collectors. Refer to
Collector Location"
on page 27 and to
page 28.
Clearance must be allowed for servicing of the solar
storage tank. The solar storage tank must be accessible
without the use of a ladder or scaffold. Make sure the
temperature pressure relief valve lever is accessible and
the front covers, thermostat and booster heating unit can
be removed for service.
You must be able to read the information on the rating
plate. If possible leave headroom of one water heater
height so the anode can be inspected or replaced.
Remember you may have to remove the entire solar
storage tank later for servicing.
The solar storage tank is to be installed at ground or floor level and must stand vertically upright on a stable
base as acceptable to local authorities. Remember all local authorities have regulations about putting water
heaters into roof spaces.
Note: It is important for the solar storage tank to be orientated vertically upright in order for the falling film of
closed circuit fluid to operate efficiently.
The top of the solar storage tank must be a minimum of 500 mm below the bottom of the solar collectors for
the system to operate correctly.
SAFE TRAY
Where damage to property can occur in the event of the water heater
leaking, the water heater must be installed in a safe tray. Construction,
installation and draining
AS/NZS 3500.4 and all local codes and regulatory authority
requirements. AS/NZS 3500.4 also has particular requirements when a
safe tray must be installed.
