Hydrogen gas can accumulate!
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.
If the customer is away for a period of time
If the system is not to be used for a period of a week or more during the summer months it is advisable
to turn off the electricity supply to the booster and if practical, cover the solar collectors. If the solar
collectors are not covered there is a possibility that the high temperature valve in the storage tank
may open and disperse small amounts of hot water for a short period to reduce the storage tank
temperature while you are away. This is a normal function and does not harm the system.
Water discharge through the pressure valve
All Conergy solar water heaters have two pressure valves located within the system configuration.
The cold water expansion valve, located in the cold water supply pipe, may release a small amount
of water from time to time 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.
The pressure & temperature valve, located on the storage tank, may also release a small expansion
discharge.
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.
