Types Of Solar Hot Water Systems

Solar Hot Water System Prices - type of system

In my previous blogs I stated that Solar hot water system prices vary for 6 main reasons. They are - rebates - the efficiency of the system- type of system - size of system - the quality of the installation and whether the system has to be moved away from the location of your existing hot water system.

This third blog in the series deals with the types of systems. There are 7 categories for solar hot water systems - Heat pump, roof mounted, split, evacuated tube, flat panel, electric boosted and gas boosted.

Heat pumps consists of a storage tank fitted with a refrigeration unit that uses latent heat energy in the air to make hot water and will work in temperatures as low as -10 Celsius. Based on the same principles as a fridge in reverse. Heat pumps are the cheapest to install and can provide ample hot water in Canberra all year round.


Roof mounted systems consists of a storage tank coupled to 1 or more panels or evacuated tubes installed on a roof. These can be among the cheapest to install. However, even with gas boosting they are likely to get the lowest number of STCs and therefore be the most inefficient.

The split system consists of a tank on the ground with either evacuated tubes or flat panels mounted on the roof. Split systems allow for more flexibility in the installation. They generally get high numbers of STCs
Evacuated tube systems usually form part of a split system. They are less prone to frost damage and can be relatively inexpensive to repair. They are among the most expensive to install


Flat panels form part of both roof mounted systems and split systems. In the split system variety they can get a very high number of STC's. They are more prone to frost damage. They are generally cheaper than evacuated tube systems.


Electric boosting is common in split, roof mounted, evacuated tube and flat panel systems. An electric element is installed in the bottom of the tank or mid way.

There are two types of gas boosting - Pre Gas boosting and post Gas boosting. The later is the most environmentally friendly and cheapest to run. However, It is the most expensive to install. Over the life of the system it is more economical to install an electric boosted solar hot water system.

Remember, your own research will ultimately help you decide if you have been quoted a fair price. Before you accept any solar hot water system prices research what you have been told by the sales person.

Solar Hot Water Repair Service in Canberra

How to fix broken solar Hot water systems

There are many reasons why a Solar hot water system will fail to provide hot water.

The most common reasons are..

The electric or gas booster has been turned off. To fix this you can check your switches, fuses and valves. You can also check your owner's manual for relighting instructions. If your booster does not work after this you will need a Solar hot water repair service.

The solar collectors are in too much shade or they are dirty. To fix this you can chop back any overhanging branches and clean your collectors with soapy water. You should also check that your collectors are facing towards north at a pitch of 45-55 degrees.

The glycol or heat transfer fluid has leaked away ( roof mounted tanks and a small number of split systems). To fix this you will need a solar hot water repair service.

The solar circulating pump is not working. To fix this you should check all 3 pin plug connectors and check sensors are fit well into the sensor ports. Test power supply with a low wattage lamp. If there is power at the pump supply replace the pump. If there is no power at the pump supply and the sensors are secure in their ports you will need a Solar hot water repair service.

Either the sensor wire in the tank or in the collectors is faulty. To fix this check both sensors are secure in their ports. Check that the wires between the sensor and the solar controller are not broken. If the sensors are secure in their ports and they are not broken you will need a solar hot water repair service.

The hot water tempering valve is faulty. To test the tempering valve check the temperature of the water coming out of the storage tank. This can be done by holding a thermometer under the outlet of the relief valve while pulling the lever on the valve to release water slowly. If the temperature of the water coming out of the relief valve is significantly hotter than the water coming out of the hot taps you will need a solar hot water repair service.

The pressure and temperature relief valve is constantly running. This is normal during sunlight hours and during boosting. If this occurs in other times you will need the assistance of a solar hot water repair service

The electronic controller is faulty. If this occurs replace the controller with a similar model and brand. A faulty solar controller can be very hard to diagnose. Therefore you may need the assistance of a solar hot water repair service

The flow and return pipes keep freezing. To fix this you can try to insulate the pipes better. Check the sensors and pump operation. Check to see that the pipes have continuous grade to and from the collectors.

The flow and return pipes have air locks in them. Check that the pipes have continuous grade to and from the collectors.

The auto air bleeder is leaking. To fix this you should replace the auto air bleeder. Remember the water at the collectors can be above boiling point. It is advisable to use a solar hot water repair service for this task.

The storage tank is leaking. To fix this check that all screwed connections are done up tight. In all other cases you will need s solar hot water repair service.

CCTV Drain Camera and Plumbing Services Canberra

Do you need to locate problems inside your drains efficiently and accurately using a CCTV drain camera?

What are the benefits of using CCTV Drain Camera?

There are four beneficial reasons how using a CCTV drain camera with a locating transmitter (a sonde) that can save you time and money.

The first reason is that a CCTV drain camera allows you to see the condition of the inside of your buried drainage pipes. You can accurately determine whether your drain requires repairs and how urgent the repairs need to be. The camera will reveal in colour whether your drainage pipes are badly affected by tree roots, broken or whether they have some other obstruction in them.

The CCTV drain Camera takes the guess work out of how much of your drain pipe needs to be repaired and what sort of repairs are required.

The second reason for using a CCTV drain camera with a locating sonde is that the sonde allows you to accurately locate the problems. The sonde attached to the camera head sends a signal back to the ground level. This signal is traced using an electronic receiver. The operator can then mark the location and depth on the ground directly above the problem and on a plan.

The CCTV drain camera helps keep excavations to a minimum when repairs are undertaken.

The third reason for using a CCTV Drain Camera is that it does not lie. In conjunction with a DVD burner or memory stick a visual image of any problems can be stored. This image can be used in the future when seeking quotes for repairs and when having drains cleaned. It is also a very useful tool for litigation where bad workmanship has occurred. You can also ask for written report or for the problems to be recorded on a drainage plan, if you have one.

The CCTV drain Camera provides an accurate record of the inside of your pipes.

The final reason for using a CCTV Drain Camera is that any quotes for repairs will be accurate and the work quoted will be consistent. Combining the stored images with ground or plan markings produced with the aid of the sonde takes all of the guess work out of quoting.

If you are in need of a CCTV Drain Camera Plumbing Services in Canberra you can call 6 Star Hot water a Plumbing on 61619417 or to find out more about how we can help you go to www.hotwatersystems-plumbing.com.au/drain-camera

Electronic Water Leak Detection services in Canberra

Do you want to locate water leaks quickly and efficiently?

There are as many ways to locate a water leak. Some forms of water leak detection are more sophisticated than others.

The first thing you need to do is to determine whether you have a water leak or not. The easiest way to do this is to check your water meter when no taps or toilets are on. Check your water meter at 10 minute intervals. if any of the last three digits change you definitely have a water leak.

You can also compare your water usage patterns for the same time in the previous year. Remember the price of water has increased dramatically. Therefore, higher water bills do not necessarily mean higher water consumption.

If you are convinced you have a water leak, you can then start on the easy things. First check all garden taps, disconnect any hoses and inspect the garden tap outlets.

Check your taps and appliances. Check that your tap spindles have been fit into the tap bodies properly. Many times we find taps leaking into walls just after a homeowner has changed the tap washers.

Check your toilet cisterns by turning the water off at the cistern cock for an hour. Remember don't let anyone flush the toilet in that time. When you turn the water back on to the cistern there should be silence. If you hear the sound of running water this means you have a water leak in your cistern. This can easily be repaired.

Check any irrigation systems or evaporative air conditioners you have. Most irrigation systems and evaporative air conditioners have a stop cock. Therefore you can test them like you would your toilet cistern.

Look for wet spots in the lawn. This is particularly easy in times of drought. A water leak is generally accompanied by a green patch in the grass.

If you have done these things and you still cannot find the leak it is time to call in an electronic water leak locating service.

In Canberra an electronic leak locating service will use sophisticated electronic transmitting and receiving devices to first locate your metal pipes. Then they will use devices that can detect the audible frequencies that water makes when it is leaving a pipe under pressure.

These devices can be used to find leaks under the soil, in walls and under concrete slabs

Solar Hot Water System Prices - Efficiency

In my previous blog I stated that Solar hot water system prices vary for 6 main reasons. They are - rebates - the efficiency of the system- type of system - size of system - the quality of the installation and whether the system has to be moved away from the location of your existing hot water system.

Last blog we covered rebates. In this blog I will deal with the efficiency of the systems. However, it will be your own research that will ultimately help you decide if you have been quoted a fair price for a solar hot water system.

As a general rule - the more efficient your solar hot water system is more technology is required to build them. This also means they are likely to be more expensive to purchase and install.

However, this expense can be offset to some degree by the higher number of STCs allocated to more efficient solar hot water systems. If you read the previous blog on rebates you will understand that you as the owner of the system can sell each STC.

I will give you three examples of how the offsets work.

If you buy an Apricus 315 litre 30 tube electric boosted solar hot water system, that gets 35 STCs, it will generally cost $7000.00 installed. If you sold each STC for $34.00 the end cost to you would be $7000.00 - 35 x 34 = $5810.00

If you buy an equivalent 300 litre roof mounted Rheem with 2 panels, that gets 28 STCs, it will generally cost $6500.00 installed. If you sold each STC for $34.00 dollars the end cost would be $6000 - 28 x 34 = $5558.00

If you buy a 250 litre Gas boosted 2 panel Dux Sunpro solar hot water system, that gets 40 STCs, it will generally cost $7250 installed. If you sold each STC for $34.00 dollars the end cost would be $7250 - 40 x 34 = 5850.00.

In addition to the higher STC rebate the more efficient systems will consume up to 40% less energy for boosting. Therefore they will also be cheaper to run.

You can check the efficiency of most solar hot water systems at http://www.hotwatersystems-plumbing.com.au/solar-hot-water-canberra/STC-values.html

Be sure to ask the salesperson how many STCs the system they propose is eligible for. This will tell you how efficient the system is.

Remember before you accept any solar hot water system prices research what you have been told by the sales person.
