CLOUDS OF WHITE ‘VAPOUR’ FROM THE FLUE TERMINAL
During the heating cycle, it is not unusual to see water vapour
clouds steaming from the flue terminal, particularly on cold days.
This is normal operation of the gas booster.
ERROR CODE
The water heater provides a diagnostic error code in the event of
an interruption to its operation. The error code is displayed on
the front of the water heater on the OK MONITOR. If an error
code appears:
• Close the hot tap and switch off the electrical supply to the
water heater.
• Wait 5 minutes, then switch on the electrical supply to the
water heater and open a hot tap.
If the error code persists, take note of the code and turn off the
hot tap. Phone your nearest Solahart Dealer to arrange for
inspection.
HIGH GAS BILLS
With the installation of your new solar hot water system, maximum gas energy savings can be achieved
with careful planning of hot water usage. Should you at any time, feel your gas account is too high, we
suggest you check the following points:
• Is the relief valve running excessively? (Refer to “Temperature Pressure Relief Valve Running” on
page 15).
• Is one outlet (especially the shower) using more hot water
than you think? (Refer to “Gas Booster Operating Too
Frequently” on page 13).
• Is there a leaking hot water pipe, dripping hot water tap, etc?
Even a small leak will waste a surprising quantity of hot
water and energy. Replace faulty tap washers, and have
your plumber rectify any leaking pipe work.
• Is the gas booster operating too frequently? (Refer to “Gas
Booster Operating Too Frequently” on page 13).
• Consider recent changes to your hot water usage pattern
and check if there has been any increase in tariffs since
your previous account.
COLLECTOR GLASS
Warranty DOES NOT cover breakage of solar collector glass. Check your household insurance policy
covers collector glass breakage.
Warning: Collector glass must not be replaced whilst the solar collector is on the roof.
The collector glass is not offered as a replacement part and no attempt should be made to remove it.
Should the solar collector require replacement, contact your nearest Solahart Dealer.
