Thermomax Solar Water
Heater Installation

CAUTIONS

YOU MUST THOROUGHLY READ BASIC GUIDE FOR THERMOMAX
TECHNICAL DETAILS & INSTALLATION MANUAL BEFORE
COMMENCING SYSTEM INSTALLATION

1. The Thermomax tubes should under no circumstances be exposed to the sun

for extended periods (maximum one day) if the system has not been filled.
No load operation of the system will permanently damage Thermomax
tubes.

2. The circulating pump should under no circumstances be switched off during

a sunny day. This will create a high temperature and as a result, high
pressure in the system. When not in use for extended periods, the
circulating pump must be left switched on and a by-pass should divert the
heat from the storage tank.

3. The contractor shall verify true south and shall orient the collector tubes

facing true south. The collector tilt angle shall be nominally set at latitude
but never less than 25°. At a lower inclination, the output of the collector

will be reduced.

4. Unpack and install the collector tubes AFTER the manifold unit and pump

has been installed and the piping has been connected.

5. Gloves and eye protection should be worn when handling the glass.

6. Avoid any sudden shock to the tubes.

7. Avoid scratching the glass collector tubes, as this will reduce their strength.

8. ALL LOCAL AUTHORITIES REGULATIONS AND RELEVANT

STANDARDS SHOULD BE FOLLOWED.
