If my mates in the Electrician's Forum see me in here, jus' tell I got lost, alright
So, I was called out to the home of a good client. They have a thermal solar installation but were not completely clear of the difference - hence calling in a sparky and I was interested as to how thermal works. Every component part appears to have voltage where it should and the pumps run briefly but, looking at the gauge in the top-right of the pictures, the pressure is around 0.4 bar. Would you expect something higher? A second gauge fitted to the tank below indicates a slightly higher pressure, as expected. Is a top-up to pressure my starting point on this?
