There is a difference...
The Solco Genius has a variety of differences to other systems on the market, these differences add many extra benefits which are outlined in the table below. With these added benefits we can extend the life of your solar hot water system, giving you a better return on your investment.
The Differences
|
|
Made from UV resistant polymer materials which will never rust or corrode. These materials will last longer than metal systems. |
|
Whether marine grade stainless or mild steel they will eventually corrode. To extend their life some have sacrificial anodes which must be regularly replaced or your warranty is void. |
|
Not affected by hard or calcified water supplies. Many areas globally have hard or mineralized water which have no effect on the Solco Genius. |
|
Hard water not only corrodes metals but calcites bond chemically with steel and eventually clog pipes, requiring replacement.
All metal systems have restrictive warranties relating to water quality. |
|
100% freeze-proof with no need for additives. Water expands by approximatley 4% when it freezes bursting steel and copper pipes. The Solco Genius one piece fully flooded bladder can expand so it can be frozen with no adverse affects. Many areas get some frost - one bad night can destory a standard metal system and there is no warranty if its not frost protected. |
|
Frost protection in metal systems usually relies on the additition of radiator type inhibitors to the heating jacket.
Should the jacket leak owing to failure of one of the many seals or O-rings, the glycol can leak causing corrosion in the jacket or contamination of your water supply if your gutters are connected to a tank. |
|
To save valuable water resources and to meet new legislation the Solco Genius is naturally designed to use less water then high pressure units.
Designed to comply with new legislation restricting water usage in showers to nine litres per minute. |
|
High pressure metal systems can boil and some can waste up to 300 litres per day through relief valves. They also require restrictors at the shower to comply with new Australian legislation. | | |
