Solar Conect: Solar Energy Solutions for Spainhttp://www.solar-conect.com/snews/Copyright Solar Conect: Solar Energy Solutions for SpainsNewsHydroflow’s patented water treatment technology, represents a major breakthrough in the treatment of water. Hydroflow prevents scale build up and, will in most cases, also dissolve existing scale. It works independently from flow rate and temperature, is consistently effective, reliable and maintenance free. The effects of limescale Limescale builds up in heat exchangers, pipes, pumps, boilers and appliances connected. This usually results in reduced flow rates, loss of efficiency and early failure of components. How it works Randomly varying electric fields are induced into the water. These fields propagate through the water in the entire plumbing system. The result is the production of nuclei everywhere in the water system. When the water is heated, the resulting precipitate that usually deposits on the surfaces, grows in suspension and develops as a crystal on the nuclei and is then washed way in the flow. The fields treat the water both up and down stream and are transmitted into the central heating system to treat the primary water. The treated water is normally able to dissolve existing scale in just a few weeks. Features Easy to install Extremely cost-efficient Reduces service, maintenance & repair costs Prevents scale build up Protects extensive pipe networks upstream and downstream Fits virtually any appliance Works on all pipe materials Industrial and domestic versions available ONLY 222.72€ (including IVA) + 10€ p&p Ordering To order send your details to us using our contact form.Wed, 18 Jul 2007 05:20:18 +0000http://www.solar-conect.com/snews/products/hydroflow-water-treatment-products/http://www.solar-conect.com/snews/products/hydroflow-water-treatment-products/Underfloor heating and hot water system fitted to a newly built townhouse in Orgiva, Las Alpujarras. Client Feedback We have had a hot water and underfloor heating solar system installed into our newly built 3 storey, 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom townhouse in Orgiva. Both collectors are situated on the roof. As the system is backed up by electricity, the house has been installed with ‘off peak’ electricity, which means by using appliances such as the dishwasher and washing machine in the evenings rather than the daytime, we benefit from the cheaper ‘off peak’ electricity prices. We have a back up tank for mains water, with a pump system, so if the mains water gets cut off then the tank automatically supplies water to the house. Each room is also thermostatically controlled. Our solar system should give over 90% of the heating and hot water for the year. We should notice significant savings in our bills with the system we have had installed and our house will be monitored for actual costs.

Client Feedback After seven years of calentadors, disconnecting the gas bottle was bliss.We now have litres and litres of hot water for the whole house from the sky - I say sky because the first few weeks after the installations we only had cloud and rain, but still we had lots of hot water, and now the sun is shining it’s better still.The shower pressure is better and so far we have not had the gritty deposits in the taps and shower-heads to clean out.Money well spent.

This means if I am away from the house I know I will return to a warm house in winter and a cool house in summer, without me needing to be there to alter the controls.I have also had a back up water tank fitted ensuring I have a supply of water even when the mains water has been switched off.I also benefit from ‘off peak electricity’ as my system is backed up by electricity.Mon, 21 May 2007 05:59:17 +0000http://www.solar-conect.com/snews/projects/newly-built-townhouse-in-orgiva/http://www.solar-conect.com/snews/projects/newly-built-townhouse-in-orgiva/We fitted a solar hot water system to a country house near Orgiva in rural Andalucia.Client Feedback Just a short note in praise for the solar power that you installed for us. We know it was an unusual installation having to pipe the hot water to either side of the house, but your team achieved this with expertise and the minimum disruption. We now have practically unlimited hot water throughout the seasons and have noticed a great reduction in our electric bills.Thank you once again.Mon, 21 May 2007 05:47:55 +0000http://www.solar-conect.com/snews/projects/country-house-fitted-with-a-solar-hot-water-system/http://www.solar-conect.com/snews/projects/country-house-fitted-with-a-solar-hot-water-system/
