Re: HELP chained to my solar hot water system
I'd like to give you advice, but there is not even close to enough data here.
Who sold yo the system in the first place? Did you receive an operation & owners manual with the system? If not contact the installer and demand one.
Are you mixing "solar fluid" (??? antifreeze) and the potable hot water? Two pumps... but I don't understand what you're describing.
Broken blades & leaking pumps tells me the system may have been poorly designed.
Sounds like your solar company is what I call a solar con-man... (ok maybe that's a bit strong -- sorry). He might be a plumber that really doesn't understand the system, but knows where to but parts...
BTW, what state are you in? What type of heat; oil/gas/electric? Boiler? Seperate HW heater?
