4 INTRODUCTION Congratulations on choosing a “STREAMLINE ELECTRIC ” solar water heater. We ar e confident that your purchase will provide you many years of trouble free hot water. All over the world, the Solahart name is synon ymous with quality in wa ter heating.
5 ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER MODEL TYPE Congratulations for choosing a Solahart ® water heater. Your Solahart Streamline ® open circuit solar water heater is designed for the sola r collectors to be roof mounted and the solar storage tank to be installed at ground level.
ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER WARNING This water heater is not intended to be operated, adjusted or tampered with by yo ung children or infirm persons. Young children should be super vised to ensure they do not interfere with the water heater. The removal of the front cover will expose 240 V wiri ng.
ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER 7 HOW DO I KNOW IF THE WATER HEATER IS INSTALLED CORRECTLY? Installation requirements are shown on pages 23 and 25 . The water heater must be installed by an authorised person and the installation must co mply with National Standards AS/NZS 3500.
ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER BLEEDING THE SOLAR COLLECTORS It is necessary to purge air from the collector circuit: • When the water heater is to be turned on and the s olar collectors and solar hot and solar cold pipes have been drained. • After maintenance has been conduc ted on the pipe work and ai r has entered the system.
9 HOW YOUR WATER HEATER WORKS The Solahart Streamline open circuit sy stem has its vitreous enamel lined solar storage tank installed at ground or floor level, remotely from the solar co llectors. As the sun heats the water in the so lar collectors the increase in temperature activates the ci rculator.
HOW YOUR WATER HEATER WORKS MANUAL ON/OFF SWITCH a) Off-Peak (overnight) Tariff Connection Most systems will be connected to an Off-Peak supply of electricity. Boosting will only occur overnight (usually between 11:00 PM and 6:00 AM). In the wi nter months many households will find it necessary to leave the booster switch ON.
HOW YOUR WATER HEATER WORKS 11 GOING ON HOLIDAYS If you plan to be away from home, conserve energy by switching the booster switch “OFF”. It is not necessary to switch off the electrical supply at t he power outlet to the solar control un it. Refer to “To Turn Off The Water Heater” on page 6 .
12 REGULAR CARE TEMPERATURE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE This valve is near the top of the wa ter heater and is essential for its sa fe operation. It is possible for the valve to release a little water through the drain line during each heating pe riod. This occurs as the water is heated and expands by approxim ately 1/50 of its volume.
REGULAR CARE FLUSHING THE SOLAR COLLECTORS It may be necessary to flush the solar collectors if ther e is sediment in the wate r supply. This should be conducted in the morning, with in three hours of sunrise. • Open a hot water tap and allow the water to run for five (5) minutes prior to flushing the solar collector(s).
14 SAVE A SERVICE CALL Check the items below before making a service call. You will be charged for attending to any condition or fault that is not related to manufacture or failure of a part.
SAVE A SERVICE CALL • Thermostat setting Ensure the thermostat setting is appropriate. You may choose to h ave your electrician adjust the thermostat upwards to gain additional hot water capacity when boosting. Refer to “T emperature Adjustment” on page 5 .
SAVE A SERVICE CALL HIGH ELECTRICITY BILLS With the installation of your new solar hot water system, maximum electrical energy savings can be achieved with careful planning of hot water usage.
