Once a leak occurs in a solar water heater, it should be checked and repaired immediately, because a leak can lead to dangers such as electric shock accidents and fires. Electrical leaks can have many reasons. Here are some common reasons:
1. Improper grounding of the solar water heater: Improper grounding of the water heater can cause current to bounce back, causing an electrical leak.
2. Improper connection or short circuit of the power cord: Improper connection or short circuit of the power cord may cause excessive current, causing leakage.
3. Improper installation: If the solar water heater is installed incorrectly, such as the leak protector is not properly connected or the power cord is improperly connected, it may cause a leak.
4. Aging of the water heater: if the solar water heater is used pOver a long period of time, some electrical components may age, causing leaks.
5. Humid environment: If the solar water heater is in a humid environment, such as a bathroom, it can easily lead to leaks.
In order to prevent leaks from solar water heaters, it is necessary to regularly check the electrical components of the water heater, such as thermostats, leak protectors, etc., to ensure their operation normal. In addition, when using a water heater, you should pay attention to electrical safety and avoid using the water heater in thunderstorms and lightning.
1. The T test button is a detection switch to check whether the leakage switch is working normally. When the device is powered on, you press the T test button and the leak switch. triggers, indicating that the switch is operating normally. If the switchdoes not trip, the leak switch is faulty and needs to be repaired or replaced.
2. The reset button is used to reset after the faulty switch is triggered (turn on the power) when you press the experimental T button or there is a leak in the line.

Precautions for using solar water heaters
1 The water stored in the solar water heater must be evacuated. regularly to avoid long-term buildup. The discharge cycle is determined by local water quality conditions. The rejection can be carried out in the morning because the sensor temperature is lower there.
2. If the weather is good for several consecutive days without using hot water, the water temperature will be relatively high. When using it, you should turn on the cold water first, then the hot water to avoid scalding.
3. Solar water heater pipes are often frozen in winter. If there are no cracks in the frozen pipes, there is no cause for concern. They will be able to function normally when the temperature increases.
4. If you need to thaw a frozen pipe, do not hit it, grill it over a fire, or use boiling water, otherwise the pipe may burst. You can use a towel to wrap the pipe, then slowly pour warm water or blow with a hair dryer to treat the pipe.
5. To prevent scale from forming inside the vacuum tube of the solar water heater, it must be cleaned regularly, every 2 to 3 years.
6. For solar water heaters equipped with special instruments, pay attention to electricity and lightning protection, and be sure to unplug the plug of the electric heater when using it in a thunderstorm.
7. When using chsolar water heater for the first time, you can open the faucet to drain the water and allow the water to flow. Drain any debris that may be stuck in the water pipes before use.
8. The surface of the solar water heater installed on the roof is easily contaminated by dust. Although it can be cleaned automatically on rainy days, it still needs to be cleaned regularly. the efficiency of heat collection.
9. The outlet end of the solar water heater faucet is usually equipped with a filter screen, which needs to be cleaned regularly to ensure smooth water flow.
10. Solar water heaters should be disinfected, inspected and cleaned every 2 to 3 years on average.
