REDUCING HEAT LOSSES
The cold water line to and the hot water line from the water heater must be
insulated in accordance with the requirements of AS/NZS 3500.4. The
insulation must be weatherproof and UV resistant if exposed.
The pipe work between the solar storage tank and the solar collectors must be
fully insulated with closed cell polymer insulation or similar (minimum thickness
13 mm). Thicker insulation may be required to comply with the requirements of
AS/NZS 3500.4. The insulation must be weatherproof and UV resistant if
exposed. The insulation must be fitted up to the connections on both the solar
storage tank and the solar collectors.
ANODE TYPES
The correct anode type for the water supply being used must be fitted in the
water heater (refer to
“Water Supplies” on page 76). The black anode is fitted
as standard.
