The glass vacuum tubes can
withstand a low temperature of -70
Warning
when they are not filled with water.
When the auxiliary heating device is
not to be used, on continuous cloudy
days in winter or when the tubes are
covered by snow, be sure to keep the
water tank full of water and replace
the cold water in the tank frequently
(every 2 days). Otherwise the water
retained in the tank will cause the
vacuum tubes to break.

Warning
Caution
- Suggestions -
Directions that
Caution
must be noted
Personnel other than professional
maintenance staff are prohibited from
repairing, maintenance, dismantling
or altering the water heater without
authorization.
The glass vacuum tube shall not be
exposed for a long period without
water inside after installation to avoid
the shortening of the service life. If it
cannot be used immediately, it shall
be covered.
The water heater is equipped with a
special venting pipe and overflow
pipe. To ensure normal operation,
never refit or plug their outlets.
Otherwise the water tank will shrink.
Water shall be fed in early morning or
at night when the sunligth is
insufficient. The water feeding after
sunlight exposure of the glass
vacuum tube will cause an explosion
of the pipe.
The source of the energy for the water
heater is solar energy. So it may be
incapable of being used normally
under cloudy, rainy and snowy
weather conditions due to the failure
to reach desired water temperature
because of the insufficient sunlight
exposure. If there is no electric
heating as an auxiliary energy source,
it may be unable to be used normally.

Precautions on pipeline installation
1. Any alteration to the structure of the solar
water heater may cause problems in use.
2. There are five ways to connect the water
pipe to the room: flue, vent hole, through hole in the wall, pipe well for solar pipes
and embedded sleeves, wherein the
former three types are commonly used.
Before installation, the installation staff
will consult the entry form and installation
location of the pipe in a comprehensive
way and in consideration of your
convenience. A slope in the through-wall
must be ensured during pipeline layout,
and sealing shall be guaranteed to
prevent the entry of rain or odors.
3. Keep the smoothness of the air pipe to
prevent the blockage of impurities, which
may lead to collapse and deformation of
the water tank under suction when using
water.
4. Do not install a valve in the overflow
pipeline to ensure that the flood signal can be sent out rapidly and accurately.
5. To avoid the return of water in the tank, a non-return valve shall be installed at the joint
of the water upward/downward pipes and the tap water.
6. The installation project should be confirmed by our professional service personnel when
installing several sets of the series of the products.
