Important safety information
All water heaters have the ability to produce hot water very quickly. To reduce the risk of scald
injury it is recommended that a temperature control valve be fitted to the hot water supply pipe
work. This valve should be checked at regular intervals to ensure its operation and settings
remain correct. Please check that the pressure & temperature relief valve relief pipe is not
located where it can cause damage if hot water is discharged.
This water heater is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
Young children should always be supervised to ensure that they do not play with hot water taps
or the water heater.
If the hot water system is not used for two weeks or more, a quantity of hydrogen gas, which
is highly flammable, may accumulate in the water heater. To dissipate this gas safely, it is
recommended that a hot tap be turned on for several minutes at a sink, basin or bath but
not a dishwasher, clothes washer, or other appliance. During this procedure there must be
no smoking, open flame or any other electrical appliance operating nearby. If hydrogen is
discharged through the tap, it will probably make an unusual noise as with air escaping. Do not
place hands or any part of your body beneath the tap during this procedure.
For closed circuit systems, if the water seems red in appearance it could mean that there is
a leakage of glycol from the jacket into the main water tank. Please contact your authorised
Conergy dealer or installation service provider as soon as possible.
What should I do during holidays?
If you are going to be away for a week or more during the summer months, it is advisable to turn
off the electricity supply to the AES System. The power supply to the solar controller pump module
must be left ON, so that the system can monitor and control the solar collector temperature while
you are away. Whilst the system is safe with the power turned OFF, the collector can reach very high
temperatures, causing high stress to their internal components.
Why is there water discharge through the pressure valve?
All Conergy solar water heaters have either one or two pressure valves in the water pipe work. For
solar water heaters that only have a Pressure & Temperature valve located on the storage tank it
is normal for a small water discharge to occur during the heating cycle of the system. The water
discharge is water expanding due to the heating process. Normally the discharge will be less than
10 litres per day.
For systems that have both a pressure & temperature valve and a cold water expansion valve located
in the cold water supply pipe work, the expansion discharge will occur from the cold water expansion
valve.
