PLUMBING COMPONENTS:
Siddons Solarstream recommends the Quickie Kit (QIK15-SHP) or equivalent for quality plumbing components for longer life
of your Solarstream Water Heater to make installation of your water heater more professional and easier. Water contains
minerals which can cause problems especially when heated. Also, high water pressure will reduce tank life so the Quickie Kit
contains a pressure limiting valve rated to 2,000 kPa that will deliver water to the storage tank at an easy 500kPa. This will
deliver good water pressure but not excessive pressure that will waste water and shorten tank life. The components of the
Quickie Kit have been designed to meet new plumbing regulations including insulating gloves on components.
The top 3 way tee is specially designed to supply both untempered water and the hot water supply to the Tempering Valve.
The Bottom inlet Tee is designed to incorporate the Pressure Limiting Valve, the non-return isolating valve and the cold water
expansion control valve as well as supplying the cold side of the tempering valve with cold water.

SECTION 1: PLUMBING
COMPLIANCE
You must be a licensed plumber to install a Solarstream. It is your responsibility to comply with AS/NZ Standards, Building Codes and
Trade Codes of Practice for compliant installations of domestic hot water heaters. In Australia, for installation of Solarstream Fluorocarbon gas models, you should hold a Restricted Split System Air Conditioning Installation and Decommissioning License (Certificate
II course under the Australian Refrigeration Council's code RSS03) covering air conditioning and heat pump split systems. You do not
require this licence for installation of the R290 Hydrocarbon gas models which is a naturally occurring refrigerant with Global Warming
Potential of just 3, making it ozone and greenhouse friendly. Outside location is also important for the efficient operation of the heat
pump with the air outlet preferably facing away from the prevailing wind to improve heat pump performance. The Fluorocarbon gas
is inflammable whilst the Hydrocarbon gas cannot sustain flammibility if released in a well ventilated space outside. The heat pump
should be installed in a well ventilated location outside for heat pump effectiveness and safety. The Hydrocarbon gas has a distinctive
"rotting cabbage" odour so that any possible leak can be identified for rectification.
Leave adequate clearance above the appliance, preferably the length of the water heater, for inspection or service to the anode through
the top lid. If adequate room is unavailable, this appliance must be disconnected and removed for service. It is best to install the
storage tank close to the outlet that has the greatest usage of hot water, such as the laundry or bathroom. Ensure adequate access
for service to the sensor and Pressure and Temperature Relief (PTR) valve. Ensure the specification label is visible.
OUTDOOR
For outdoor (external) installations, a 100mm thick plinth or concrete base pad is recommended in
accordance with Australian Standard AS/NZS 3500.4 to properly support the Solarstream storage
tank such that the storage tank is assured of remaining in a vertical position throughout its usable
life and not lean over due to possible erosion of soil under the plinth, or such risk.
SIESMIC RESTRAINT
If you live in area subject to seismic building code, we recommend restraining the tank to a wall
using Stainless Steel bands that do not pierce the tank.
CONCRETE BASE or
SOLID WOODEN PLINTH
GROUND LEVEL
LEGIONELLA
To kill legionella bacteria that may grow in potable water, AS 3498 requires that a storage water heater raise the water temperature
at the hot water outlet to at least 60C. Therefore we recommend you leave your Solarstream switched on when you are away, where
it will typically turn on every couple of hours every several days to raise the water temperature in the tank back to 60C.
SCALDING
To minimize scalding, especially for those people in high scald risk categories such as young children, people with potentially incapacitating medical conditions and elderly people, the Solarstream must be installed in accordance with the Australian Standard AS/NZS
3500.5 to ensure that new hot water installations deliver tempered water not exceeding 50C to bathrooms and other outlets used
primarily for personal hygiene purposes.
ANODE
The Solarstream is fitted with a magnesium (cap colour code black) or aluminium alloy anode for hard water (cap colour code 'Blue').
The anode should be examined or replaced once every 5 years by a licensed plumber to ensure its ongoing protection against the
possibility of tank rusting. The Solarstream should always be switched on to avoid possible accumulation of hydrogen gas which is
flammable and may accumulate in the system. This may be observed as 'spluttering' when a hot tap is opened initially. To dissipate
this gas safely, we recommend that a hot tap be turned on for several minutes or until discharge of gas ceases. Use a sink, basin or
bath outlet, but not at a dishwasher, clothes washer or other appliance. During this procedure, there must be no smoking, open flame,
or any electrical appliance operating nearby. If hydrogen is discharged through the tap it will probably make an unusual sound similar
to air escaping.
FILLING
Fill the storage tank by opening all hot water taps and opening the cold water inlet to allow air in the system to be expelled. Close each
hot water tap as the flow becomes free of air; check all pipes for any signs of leaks. Power should not be turned on until the storage
tank is completely filled with water as this will void your warranty.
It is recommended that hot water outlet pipes are fully insulated with weather proof insulation such as Armaflex. The hot water outlet
pipe should be angled down at about 15C minimum for the first 250mm after exiting from the storage tank outlet. This will create a
heat trap that will avoid any thermal siphoning from the storage tank. It is normal for the PTR valve to discharge water, especially after
the heating cycle has completed and this should be discharged into a drain, clear of paved areas to prevent possible damage or injury.

Extension line kits come with fully insulated, pre-charged refrigeration lines
and longer sensor cable to suit. The maximum length of refrigerant line to
be connected to the heat pump is 9m. For instance 2m standard + 7m
extension = total 9m maximum.

Step 3
Remove the cover caps on the refrigerant valves at the base of the heat pump.
Step 4
Open the two refrigerant gas flow valves only when you have made sure that all of the connections
have been completed correctly and are tight. Then, use a 5mm hex key and turn both gas valves
anti clockwise until they are fully opened and stop hard.
Note: We recommend using soapy water on the couplers and flare fittings to check any gas leaks.
Step 5
Replace the access cover over the couplers, replace the cover caps on the refrigerant valves and
refit the plastic side cover to the heat pump.
GAS TYPE AND GAS CHARGE
The B models such as 326SMBD are charged with R417A flourocarbon gas which is a blend
gas made principally for R22. The standard gas charge without extension lines is 1.5 kg; with
extension lines you need add 20 grams per metre.
The C models such as 326MCD are charged with R290 hydrocarbon gas which is a natural
refrigerant with no harmful effect to the ozone layer. The standard gas charge without extension
lines is 1.0 kg; with extension lines, you will will need to add 15 grams per metre over the length
of the dual extensions.
