There is a water leak at the water pipe connection of the solar water heater. Follow the following steps to check:
1. The connection between the water pipe and the joint. It depends on the type of pipe you are using. For hot melt pipes, this is hot water. When merging, the connection is not good enough, causing water leakage. In the case of aluminum-plastic pipes, the screws are not tightened; the sealing ring is damaged.
2. The connection between the joint and the water tank pipe is often caused by the raw material tape not being properly wrapped, causing water leakage.
3. The connection between the water tank pipe and the water tank. There are two commonly used connection methods: solder type and silicone gasket type. ?If it is a welded type, the water tank needs to be replaced. If the warranty period has expired, youYou need to find an argon arc welder to remove the insulation layer and weld it. ? If it is a silicone type of seal, simply replace the sealing ring. If there is no replacement in stock, you can replace the exhaust port sealing ring on the top and use it (general solar is universal).
4. Close the water tap.
5. Then use a wrench to loosen the leaking gasket and remove it. First check if the joint pipe connection is cracked.
6. If necessary, replace it. If not, check if the pipe head is flat. After smoothing, reconnect the joint. Pay attention to the second proof. The aluminum plastic pipe must be inserted. In the seal. Inside, if you don't understand, you can ask a plumber for help. Once the pipes are laid, tighten the joints and there should be no leaks.
7. If there is a leakIf there is water between the pipe fittings, simply remove it and wrap the threaded end with tape for about 20 turns. Then reconnect it and tighten it.
8. There is also white pipe, but this type of pipe is PVC water supply pipe. If it leaks, simply wrap the raw material tape around the joint.
9. If there is water leakage at the place connected by glue, it is best to cut the leaking place with pipe scissors and replace it with a new one.
The solar water inlet leak repair method is to clean the water inlet, replace the seal, check connecting pipe fittings and checking pipes and joints.
1. Clean the water inlet: Use a soft cloth or brush to clean the area around the water inlet to ensure there is no debris or dirt causing leaksof water. Be careful not to damage the water supply.
2. Replace the gasket: Check for a damaged gasket at the water inlet. If damage or aging is found, it should be replaced in time. Remove the old gasket and replace it with the new gasket.
3. Check the connecting pipe fittings: Check whether the connecting pipe fittings between the water inlet and the solar water heater are tight. If you find a loose or loose connection, use a wrench to tighten it.
4. Check the pipes and joints: Check the pipes and joints around the water inlet for cracks or other damage. If problems are found, the damaged parts should be repaired or replaced in time.
Precautions for using solar water heaters
1. Water filling time: Since the temperature insideThe vacuum tube core can reach 250°C when air-drying, when there is no water in the water tank or when the water is filled for the first time, should be done before sunrise or half an hour after sunset to avoid excessive temperature differences on the water heater pipes. The best time to fill water is before sunrise or after sunset. After taking a shower in the evening, if there is still half of the hot water at 50-70℃ left in the water tank, in order to avoid excessive heat loss, the amount of water should be determined based on the weather forecast the next day, on a sunny day, fill it with water, on a cloudy and rainy day, fill it with 1/3 of the water.
2. Reasonable use: If there is still some hot water left in the solar water heater after taking a bath, the hot water obtained by running cold waterfor a few minutes can wash an additional person.
3. Installation is stable: Since the solar water heater is installed outdoors, one must ensure that it is stable during installation to avoid damage in windy weather. In windy weather, the solar water heater can be filled with water to increase the wind resistance and bearing capacity of the water heater, and the electric heating, instruments and other power sources can be disconnected.
