MODEL TYPE 
Congratulations for choosing a Solahart

®

 water heater. Your Solahart Streamline

®

 open circuit solar 

water heater is designed for the solar collectors to be roof mounted and the solar storage tank to be 
installed at ground level. The solar storage tank is suitable for either outdoor or indoor installation and 
can be installed with Solahart ‘L’ solar collectors. 
 
Although the system has a level of freeze protection, designed to guard the system from unexpected 
frost conditions, the system is not recommended for installation in areas subject to frost or freeze 
conditions (refer to 

 on page 8). Freeze conditions occur below 6

°C. The system has 

NO WARRANTY for freeze damage (refer to 

 on page 37). 

 
If this water heater is installed as a solar preheater to an in-series water heater, then the electric 
booster heating unit will not be connected to a power supply and the references to the electric booster 
heating unit, thermostat and manual boosting controls in this Guide will not be applicable to the 
installation. For information relating to the function and operation of the in-series water heater, refer to 
the Owners Guide and Installation Instructions supplied with the water heater. 
 

 

 

The solar control unit will circulate water through the solar 
collectors until a temperature of approximately 70

°C is 

reached. 

 
During periods of low solar energy gain, the water temperature 
can be boosted by the thermostatically controlled electric 
booster heating unit. This may be operated manually or 
automatically depending on how it is wired. 

check with your electrician. An in-series water heater will boost 
the water temperature automatically when required. 

 
To meet the requirements of the National Plumbing Standard 
the temperature of the stored water must not be below 60

°C. 

 
Solahart recommends the thermostat is set at 60

°C to 

maximise solar contribution. 
 

HOTTER WATER INCREASES THE RISK OF SCALD INJURY 
This water heater can deliver water at temperatures which can cause scalding. Check the water 
temperature before use, such as when entering a shower or filling a bath or basin, to ensure it is 
suitable for the application and will not cause scald injury. 
 
We recommend and it may also be required by regulations, that an approved temperature limiting 
device be fitted into the hot water pipe work to the bathroom and ensuite when this water heater is 
installed. This will keep the water temperature below 50

°C at the bathroom and ensuite. The risk of 

scald injury will be reduced and still allow hotter water to the kitchen and laundry. 
 

TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT 
The water heater features a tradesperson adjustable thermostat. This requires a licensed tradesperson 
to make any temperature adjustments. The thermostat has a maximum temperature setting of 70

°C and 

a minimum temperature setting of 60

°C. 

 
We advise you have your electrician adjust the thermostat to the lowest setting which meets your 
needs, especially if there are young children or elderly people in the home. Refer to 

 on page 5.
