What soft Devon water means for your solar thermal

South West Water draws most of its supply from moorland rivers and reservoirs, and classes it as soft or moderately soft. Soft water leaves far less limescale than the hard water found in much of England. For a solar thermal system, that usually means less scale on the cylinder coil.

That does not mean a system can be left alone. The glycol fluid that carries heat from the roof degrades with age and high temperatures. When it breaks down, it can turn acidic and damage the pipework from inside. Pumps and sensors also wear.

In Newton Abbot, many systems sit on Victorian terraces and villas, where pipe runs from roof to cylinder can be long. We check the insulation along those runs, because damaged lagging wastes heat.

Our service covers fluid, pressure, pump, controller, sensors and safety valves, and we explain anything that needs work.
