Install on South-sloping roof for best results. In descending order of preference: S, SW, N, NW, W, E.

Minimum angle of panel is 18° from horizontal (usually no adjustments/stands are required on common roofs).

It is always better to have a 3’ or more head between your overhead water tank and the unit on the roof. However even less is ok as a simple gravity-flow is sufficient to supply the unit during operation.

Please adjust your overhead tank filling cycle/float-switch to maintain maximum water head.

Make sure the “earth” line is always connected since this prolongs the life of the Electric Booster Element.

A stop-cock is required to be supplied for the cold-water inlet line for maintenance purposes. This is best situated for operation by owner if required.

It is recommended to have a known professional plumber from the area to do the plumbing, as he will be readily available for repairs etc.

We recommend “Dux” brand Polybutylene Hot water Pipes & Fittings, as Australian product. Local agents are Delmage Interiors and is also available at our showrooms and leading Hardware stores Island wide.

lways ask your plumber to pressure-test all plumbing lines (hot & cold) prior to plastering/tiling. Any leaks at all should be attended to before completion of plumbing job.

The SUNBIRD unit can be installed at any stage prior to, during or after plumbing. However it is best to be installed a few days before completion of plumbing.
