HOW DO I KNOW IF THE WATER HEATER IS INSTALLED CORRECTLY? 
Installation requirements are 
and 
PIPE WORK AND INSULATION 
The solar hot and solar cold pipe work between the solar storage tank and the solar collectors and 
between the solar storage tank and in-series water heater (if one is installed) MUST BE of copper and 
fully insulated with closed cell polymer insulation or similar (minimum thickness 13 mm). The insulation 
must be weatherproof and UV resistant if exposed. The insulation is essential to assist in providing 
freeze protection, will offer corrosion protection to a metal roof against water runoff over the copper 
pipe, assist in avoiding accidental contact with the solar pipe work and also reduce pipe heat losses. 
 
The insulation must be fitted up to the connections on both the solar collectors and the solar storage 
tank, as very high temperature water can flow from the solar collectors to the solar storage tank under 
certain conditions. 
 
Plastic pipe MUST NOT be used, as it will not withstand the temperature and pressure of the water 
generated by the solar collectors under certain conditions 
 
DOES THE WATER QUALITY AFFECT THE WATER HEATER? 
The water heater is suitable for most public water supplies, however some water qualities may have 
detrimental effects on the cylinder, solar collectors and fittings. If you are in a known harsh water 
area 
described on page 
 
HOW LONG WILL THE WATER HEATER LAST? 
There are a number of factors that will affect the length of service the water heater will provide. These 
include the water quality, the water pressure, temperature (inlet and outlet) and the water usage 
pattern. However, your Solahart water heater is supported by a comprehensive warranty

ANODE PROTECTION 
The anode(s) installed in your water heater will slowly dissipate whilst protecting the cylinder. The life of 
the water heater cylinder may be extended by arranging for an authorised person to inspect the 
anode(s) and replace if required. 
 
The suggested time after installation when the anode(s) should be inspected is 8 years. 
 
For softened water supplies or in areas of poor water quality, it is recommended the anode(s) be 
inspected 3 years earlier than shown (refer to
