HIGH ELECTRICITY BILLS
With the installation of your new solar hot water system, maximum electrical energy savings can be
achieved with careful planning of hot water usage. Should you at any time, feel your electricity 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
“Not Enough Hot
Water”
on page 14).
• 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.
• Are you using the booster heating unit properly?
(Refer to
“Manual On/Off Switch” on page 10 and
“One Shot Control Switch” on page 10).
• Consider recent changes to your hot water usage
pattern and check if there has been any increase in
tariffs since your previous account.
ELECTRICITY TARIFFS
The electricity tariff to which your solar water heater is connected will play an important role in the
overall effectiveness of the system. It is important you are aware of this tariff to enable you to take full
advantage of the boosting period, i.e. Off-Peak (overnight) or time controlled, Extended Off-Peak
(overnight and day) or extended time controlled, Domestic / Continuous. For types of tariffs, refer to
“Manual On/Off Switch” on page 10.
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.
IF YOU HAVE CHECKED ALL THE FOREGOING AND STILL BELIEVE YOU NEED ASSISTANCE,
CALL YOUR NEAREST SOLAHART DEALER.
