Solar Hot Water System Service Part 2 : Cleaning INSIDE the Roof Mounted Heat Exchanger

In this episode we remove the glass panel from the Heat Exchanger and give her a spruce-up.
This part of the system is used to draw the heat from the sun rays into the cold water that is circulated from the storage tank below by the electric pump.
The more sun the unit can harvest, the more effective it will be at heating up your water.
A video demonstrating replacement of the electric pump can be found here : • Solar Hot Water System...

Mine got frozen and is now leaking, I will have to open it to see if I can fix the pipes. Looks simple enough, thanks for posting with such details.

Hi When replacing the anti frost valve on panel do you have to purge it?
