Lynx Solar SPF Series Solar Hot Water System

Lynx Solar SPF Series Solar Hot Water System

Connecting you to smaller energy bills

The Lynx Solar hot water systems are so economically priced, and can be integrated with your existing calentador or electric hot water heater as back up.

Lynx Solar SPF 130/ 150 litre pressurised hot water system

(Suitable for 2-4 people, one bathroom or two showers and one kitchen)

Lynx Solar SPF 170 litre pressurised hot water system

(Suitable for 4-8 people, two bathrooms and one kitchen)

All Lynx Solar systems are ideal in situations where there is no hot water storage and can be integrated to your existing gas calentador or electric heater as a back up, thus reducing your electric or gas bill by about 80%. It is easy to connect the Lynx Solar system into the existing services of your property.
Please note this product can also be gravity fed if there is no mains pressure.

Lynx Solar pressurised hot water systems come as a complete package. The only extra cost is the pipe work needed and labour costs for installation.
What you get:

• Stainless steel tank, well insulated to prevent freezing and maintain heat
• Electrical back-up (immersion heater)
• Top quality three-coated evacuated tubes with aluminium fins and easily plugged-in heat pipes (note there is no water in the tubes, this means that if one is broken it does not affect the system from working. The tubes can therefore be easily changed in the event of a breakage or accident)
• Stainless steel frame with feet for stability and long life
• A controller for reading temperatures
• Automatic air-vent for pressure release
• Anode in the tank to help with the prevention of lime scale
• Mixer valve: as the water can be heated to over 90ºC this valve brings water to the tap at around 50ºC, thus preventing scolding and also saves energy, giving you more hot water than the actual capacity of your tank
• Pressure reducing valve to maintain equal pressure in the system
• Pressure release valve for safety
• Pressure gauge for adjustment
• Expansion vessel to take expansion of the water when the system is up to temperature or is not in use
• On and off taps for servicing or isolating the system

Advantages of the Lynx Solar Solar water System

• High pressure storage tank
• Highly efficient heat pipe technology
• No water in evacuated tube
• Plug-in heat pipes for easy installation
• Freeze-resistant
• No pump needed
• Easy to repair and replace evacuated tubes in the unlikely circumstances of a breakage
• The system will still operate if an individual tube looses its vacuum or is broken
• The tank is of high food-grade stainless steel to achieve potable water status
• Due to the design of the evacuated tube and its internal aluminium fin and heat pipe, the system can provide energy from sun-up to sun-down unlike flat plate collectors
• The vacuum tube can still provide energy on a cold and windy day
• The system can still operate with low incoming water pressure
• All pressure safety valves are of high quality to guarantee safety
• A mixer valve is needed to prevent scolding and efficient energy use

Note: All systems come with an anode in the tank which will need replacing on a yearly basis or sooner if there are high levels of lime scale in hard water areas.
The guarantee of the pressurised tank is subject to there being filtration or a Hydroflow filter installed in hard water and high lime scale areas.
Solar Conect recommends you have a service contract either with Solar Conect or you own plumber for a yearly check-up and complete service of this product.
