DO NOT USE THIS SOLAR WATER HEATING SYSTEM IF ANY PART HAS BEEN SUBMERGED IN WATER. Immediately call a
qualified service technician. Components MUST BE replaced if submerged. Attempting to operate a solar water heating system that
has been even partially submerged could create numerous harmful conditions, such as a potential gas leakage causing a fire and/or
explosion, or the release of mold, bacteria, or other harmful particulates into the air. Operating a previously submerged solar water
heating system could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
NOTE: Damage due to flood or submersion is considered an Act of God, and IS NOT covered under product warranty.
Be sure to disconnect electrical power from the solar water heating system before performing service. Failure to do so could result in an
electrical shock, property damage, serious personal injury, or death.
Improper installation or use may result in property damage. Such damage IS NOT covered by warranty.
NOTE: HTP DOES NOT WARRANT THIS WATER HEATER AGAINST FREEZE RELATED DAMAGE.
ALL PIPING AND PLUMBING CONNECTIONS IN CLOSED LOOP SYSTEMS SHOULD BE MADE WITH COPPER PIPE ONLY. No
less than ¾” I.D. copper tube of the type meeting local codes must be used for piping. Pipe runs must be solidly attached with proper
clamping methods. Soldered connections should be secured with 95/5 lead-free solder. Use only pipe rated for 250
o F minimum on both
the collector return and supply piping.
Only use this solar hot water system as intended and described in this installation manual. Any use other than described will void
warranty and may lead to fire, property damage, personal injury, or death.
High heat sources (sources generating heat 100
o
F / 37
o
C or greater, such as stove pipes, space heaters, etc.) may damage plastic
components of the water heater as well as plastic vent pipe materials. Such damages ARE NOT covered by warranty. It is
recommended to keep a minimum clearance of 8” from high heat sources. Observe heat source manufacturer instructions, as well as
local, state, provincial, and national codes, laws, regulations and ordinances when installing this water heater and related components
near high heat sources.
