The Conergy system is designed such that there is little to do regarding system maintenance. Should
you decide that you want to inspect the roof mounted system it is essential that you use all safety
devices required to ensure your personal safety.
Glass cleaning usually occurs by natural rainfall, however if the installation is in an industrial (or
similar) area with high levels of airborne particles then a qualified person can clean the collector
glass with normal window cleaning chemicals and equipment. If rainwater collection occurs from the
same roof on which the solar water heater is located, do not use chemical cleaning agents to clean
the collectors. Any spillage of these onto the roof could cause contamination of water in the rainwater
tank.
The lever on the relief valves should be operated at least every six months. Failure to do so may result
in failure of the tank. If water does not discharge freely from the valves they should be checked and
possibly replaced. The relief valves and relief valve drain lines must not be blocked. Some water may
discharge during each heating cycle.
Every five years all safety valves should be replaced to ensure continued life and operational safety
of the system. In locations where the potable water has a Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) of greater than
600 ppm it is recommended to replace all safety valves every 3 years.
The high quality vitreous enamel lined low carbon steel tanks have a sacrificial anode for long tank
life. This anode should be inspected every few years and be replaced when it has worn out. As a
minimum it is recommended that the anode be changed every 5 years.
