The auxiliary pump is to be installed:
•
on the solar cold pipe from the solar storage tank to the solar collectors.
Refer to the label on top of the storage tank to identify the solar cold pipe.
The solar cold pipe connection is located toward the outer edge of the top of
the solar storage tank.
•
within 1 m of the top of the solar storage tank.
