INTRODUCTION
Your solar water heater has an internal solar heat exchanger for use with solar collectors. When there is not sufficient solar energy, the
water heater utilizes a backup system to provide hot water. In SB Series water heater models, the tank has an extra heat exchanger
that connects to a boiler. In SE Series models, the water heater has an electric heating element. (Refer to solar piping details in this
manual for suggested piping applications of both models.)
Your solar system uses a circulation pump to circulate a propylene glycol/water heat transfer fluid solution (HTF) throughout a closed
loop system. Closed loop propylene glycol systems provide freeze protection for the solar components.
This manual intends to familiarize you with the proper installation and maintenance of your solar water heating system. This system
must be installed by a licensed solar or plumbing contractor in accordance with SRCC Standard OG-300 and all applicable national,
state, and local codes.
Job site conditions will require your installation contractor to supply some or all of the following:

Plumbing Connections

Piping and Insulation

Valves Between the Existing Domestic Water System and the Solar System
NOTE: Solar system performance and efficiency varies with factors such as: household hot water load, ambient air temperature,
collector/roof pitch, collector orientation, and seasonal intensity.
NOTE: Failure to follow the procedures described in this manual WILL VOID the warranty.
PART 1 - GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
INSTALLER – Read all instructions in this manual before installing. Perform steps in the order given.
USER – This manual is for use only by a qualified heating installer/service technician. Have this solar water heating system

FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THE GUIDELINES ON THIS PAGE AND HAVE THIS SOLAR WATER HEATING SYSTEM
SERVICED/INSPECTED ANNUALLY CAN RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY, OR
DEATH.
A. PRECAUTIONS
NOTE: When inquiring about service or troubleshooting, reference the model and serial numbers from the solar water heater rating
label.
NOTE: OBTAIN ALL APPLICABLE PERMITS AND OBEY ALL LOCAL CODES.
