Routine Maintenance Of Solar Water Heater

1. When installing a solar water heater, there may be dust or oil smell in the water pipe. When using it for the first time, you can open the faucet to remove the debris first.
2. The water stored in the solar water heater should be discharged regularly according to the local water quality conditions. The drainage time can be selected in the morning when the collector temperature is lower.
3. The surface of the solar water heater should be wiped regularly according to the amount of dust in the area. It can clean itself when it rains. Keeping the surface of the water heater clean can achieve higher heat collection efficiency.
4. When the hot water is not used for many consecutive sunny days, the temperature of the hot water will be very high. When using the solar water heater, please turn on the cold water first and then the hot water to avoid burns.
5. There is generally a filter device at the outlet end of the faucet. Scale and debris in the water pipe will collect on this screen. It should be removed and cleaned regularly to increase the amount of water and smooth outflow.
6. In winter, it is very common for pipes to freeze. If it is found that the pipe has frozen but has not yet cracked, it can usually be cleared automatically after the temperature rises. You can also use a hair dryer to blow the water pipe, or wrap a towel around the water pipe, and then slowly pour it with warm water. Do not bake it with fire, knock the pipe, or scald it with boiling water, as this will cause the pipe to burst. Multiple freeze blockages can easily cause pipes to freeze and crack, so pipe insulation measures need to be strengthened.
7. Solar water heaters need to be cleaned, inspected, and disinfected every two to three years on average. Users can also do some disinfection work by themselves. For example, they can buy some chlorine-containing disinfectant and pour it into the water inlet and let it soak. After a period of time, releasing it again can achieve a certain disinfection and sterilization effect.
8. Solar water heaters need to clean the inside of the vacuum tube every two to three years on average to prevent scale from forming inside the vacuum tube and affecting the heat absorption effect.
9. If the solar water heater is equipped with special instruments, please pay attention to lightning and electricity protection. Do not take a shower and unplug the electric heating plug during thunder.
