What to do if the water pressure of the solar water heater is too small
As an environmentally friendly and energy-saving hot water equipment, solar water heaters are becoming more and more favored by people. However, in the process of use, sometimes the problem of water pressure is too small, resulting in poor hot water outflow, which brings inconvenience to users. So, what should you do if the water pressure of a solar water heater is too small? Here are a few common solutions.
1. Check whether there is water leakage at the connection between the water tank and the vacuum tube.
If the water pressure of the solar water heater is too small, you first need to check whether there is any leakage at the connection between the water tank and the vacuum tube. If there is a leak in the connection, it will affect the normal water output of the water heater. At this time, it is necessary to disassemble the water tank from the vacuum tube, reinstall the sealing ring or replace it with a new sealing ring to ensure that there is no water leakage at the connection.
2. Clean the vacuum tube.
After using a solar water heater for a long time, scale or debris may accumulate in the vacuum tube, resulting in poor water outlet. At this point, the vacuum tube needs to be cleaned. When cleaning, you can drain all the hot water in the tank, then remove the vacuum tube, wipe it clean with a soft cloth and reinstall it. Note that the distance between the vacuum tubes should be uniform during installation, so as not to affect the heat collection effect.
3. Check whether the water inlet and outlet are blocked.
A clogged inlet and outlet of a solar water heater can also cause the water pressure to be too low. At this time, it is necessary to check whether the water inlet and outlet are unblocked. If a blockage is found, it can be unblocked with a tool or taken apart for cleaning. Pay attention to the careful operation when disassembling and disassembling to avoid damage to the water pipes or parts.
4. Replace the booster pump.
If none of the above methods can solve the problem of water pressure being too small, it may be due to the failure of the booster pump inside the solar water heater. At this point, the booster pump needs to be replaced. When replacing the booster pump, you need to choose a booster pump that is consistent with the original model, so as not to affect the normal use of the water heater.
In conclusion, the problem of solar water heater water pressure being too small can be solved by methods such as checking, cleaning, unclogging and replacing the booster pump. In the process of use, if you encounter similar problems, you can choose an appropriate method for troubleshooting and maintenance according to the actual situation. At the same time, in order to prolong the service life of solar water heaters, regular maintenance and upkeep are recommended.
