stable & appropriately rated insulation.
Filling and commissioning the solar system

filter as existing sediment may partially block pre-existing water saving devices.
2. Leave tap open until all air is bled, then turn off hot water tap.
3. Activate PTR Valve (Pressure relief valve) to ensure system is fully bled of all air
4. Once the system is fully pressurised with water, thoroughly check all fittings, connections and
pipework for water leaks
