Do
jobs requiring hot water in the morning where possible. This
allows the water remaining in the tank to be reheated by the
sun and reduces expensive boosting. |
| • |
The
recommended setting for the booster thermostat is 60°C.
Higher settings will increase the amount of energy used for
boosting. |
| • |
For
Perth, an appropriately sized solar hot water system will give
plenty of hot water all summer without boosting - turn your
booster off during this time of the year. |
| • |
In
autumn, spring and sunny winter days you can minimise running
costs by only boosting for a limited period in late afternoon
and evening, if the water has not reached the required temperature
with solar energy. |
| • |
Conserve
hot water by using it efficiently. |
| • |
Make
sure you follow the manufacturer's recommendations for maintenance
of your solar hot water system. |
| • |
If
your system requires a sacrificial anode in the storage tank,
ensure it is replaced at the appropriate intervals.
