Troubleshooting
Consider that often the hot water •
usage of showers, washing
machines and dishwashers can
be under estimated. Review these
appliances to determine if your daily
usage is greater than the storage
volume of your water heater. If
for example you have a 315 litre
storage tank and you are using
450 litres of water it is possible that
there will be certain times of the
day where there is insufcient hot
water. It is also advisable to inspect
tap washers etc. for leakage and
replace if necessary.
Is there a leaking hot water pipe or •
dripping hot water tap? A small leak
can waste a large quantity of hot
water.
Replace faulty tap washers and •
have your plumber rectify any
leaking pipe work.
High Electricity Bills
Low Solar Energy Input
If there have been prolonged periods
of cloudy weather, or winter is
approaching, it may be necessary to
reconsider the permitted AES allowance
for time-clock controlled systems, or
to turn on the AES for systems with a
booster isolation switch.
Solar Collector Shading
Often trees or other buildings can shade
the solar collectors, or there can be
dirt build up on the glass cover. Trees
should be cut back if possible, or the
system relocated if removal of the
shading is not possible, in the present
location. If the glass is dirty, this should
be cleaned with any normal domestic
glass cleaner – recommended to be
done by an authorised tradesperson.
