Sediment (Annual, but harsh water quality may dictate more frequent service) - Depending on water
conditions, a varying amount of sediment may collect in the tank. Levels requiring service are indicated by a
small temperature difference in the supply and return lines (See also “Scale” below). Repeated flushing usually
clears such material. As a preventive measure, water should be drawn from the tank at the drain valve until it
runs clear.

5.
Scale (Annual) - Hard water may cause scale to build-up on the outside of the heat exchanger coil. A water
softener will prevent this problem (See also “Sediment” above). Symptoms would be reduced recovery
capacity or reduced temperature differential between solar collector supply and return lines. Repeated flushing
should resolve the problem.
