TECHNICAL INFORMATION / INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Compact Solar Drainback System SECUSOL
Figure 1 SECUSOL-System
Operational Safety and Low Maintenance
When the pump is not operating, there is no solar fluid
present in the collectors. Therefore the solar fluid and any
downstream system components are protected against
detrimental effects from overheat. Unwanted gravitational
forces as well as operational faults due to air pockets are
eliminated. A service intensive membrane expansion ves-
sel, air bleeds and check valves are not required. Operati-
on with common anti-freeze solar fluid prevents potential
frost damage.
High Yield Thanks To:
High transparency anti reflection glass
Single surface absorber with selective vacuum coating
Solid insulation of individual components
Simplified Installation and Start-Up
Pre-assembled unit of storage tank, solar controller and
solar circulator, including all safety components.
Flexible copper double-pipe with only 12mm cross
section, for simple and time saving piping (supplied by
Wagner & Co).
No expansion vessel and hence no setting of pre-pres-
sure required.
Very simple flushing and filling
No venting of solar circuit required
Installation, startup and maintenance of the SECUSOL
solar thermal installation are intended to be carried out
by trained professionals only, e.g. in line with SRCC Stan-
dard OG-300 installation guidelines or NABCEP certifica-
tion. They have to be licensed, must be familiar with the
IAPMO Uniform Solar Energy Code and must conform
to applicable federal, state and local regulations, codes,
standards and meet all legal requirements related to the
installation of solar hot water systems as well as plumbing,
electrical wiring and roof works.

    What to do if the safety valve in Wagner & Co SECUSOL solar circuit blows off?
    • D
      daniellegonzalezAug 3, 2025
      If the safety valve in the Wagner & Co Inverter solar circuit blows off, it could be due to an incorrect filling quantity. In this case, switch off the system (controller, or manually turn the pump OFF) and let it cool down. If needed, draw off hot water until the tank sensor reads below 68 °F / 20 °C. Then, open the filling and emptying tap on the solar flow pipe and collect the fluid in a container, before closing the tap again. Alternatively, the issue might stem from the solar circuit length being outside the recommended limits. Refer to Table 1 for length limits. If the minimum length was undercut, causing solar fluid to be released via the safety valve, equalize the pressure as described earlier to restore system operation.

    Why is there cavitation noise in my Wagner & Co SECUSOL?
    • N
      Nicholas KnappAug 8, 2025
      Cavitation noises may occur with your Wagner & Co Inverter if the filling quantity is too low. To resolve this, empty the system and refill it as specified. Alternatively, negative pressure in the system could be the cause. To address this, switch off the system controller, allow the solar circuit to cool down to below 68 °F / 20 °C, then open the filling tap at the solar flow pipe to equalize the pressure before closing it again.

    Why is the storage cylinder insulation moist at the bottom of my Wagner & Co SECUSOL Inverter?
    • S
      Sara DunlapAug 14, 2025
      If the storage cylinder insulation of your Wagner & Co Inverter is moist at the bottom, check if all pipe connections and flange/socket are properly tightened. Flat sealing gaskets tend to settle during the first weeks of operation, so re-tighten all connections after a few weeks. If the safety valve blew off, after fixing the issue, the insulation will dry off from the heat supplied by the heated storage cylinder, requiring no further action.

    How to fix leaking DHW connections on a Wagner & Co SECUSOL Inverter?
    • Y
      ywoodAug 18, 2025
      If the DHW connections on your Wagner & Co Inverter are leaking, it's likely due to the settling of gaskets because the connections weren't sufficiently tightened initially. To fix this, simply re-tighten the connections.

    What to do if the pump is in idle state but the collector loop does not empty in Wagner & Co SECUSOL?
    • D
      Dustin MitchellAug 23, 2025
      If the pump is idle but the collector loop of your Wagner & Co Inverter isn't emptying, no immediate action is needed. During strong solar radiation and when the pump is idle, the collectors will empty themselves due to momentary vapor formation, assuming the collector loop pipes have been installed at a steady down grade slope.

    Why are the collectors not filled in my Wagner & Co Inverter?
    • C
      Crystal BrownAug 28, 2025
      If the collectors of your Wagner & Co Inverter are not filled, it could be due to the collector loop exceeding the length limitations. Refer to Table 1 to verify the length limits for the collector loop and ensure the maximum length hasn't been exceeded. Another possible cause is an incorrect filling capacity. In this case, empty the system completely and refill it according to the specified instructions.
