What is a solar hot water heating system?
A solar hot water heating system is a method of supplementing the heating of hot water. The system uses either flat plate collectors or evacuated tube collector to harness the radiation from the sun to heat a fluid circulating through the collectors and subsequently an additional low level coil in a hot water storage vessel. This form of heating hot water must be supplemented by an additional heat source to ensure the hot water temperature is raised sufficiently to reduce the risk of bacterial growth within the hot water storage vessel. In the UK, solar hot water heating can provide on avaerage around 50-60% of the total hot water heating requirement when averaged over the course of a year.

Some hot water systems are designed to give you instant hot water. This is achieved by using a small pump to constantly circulate hot water through the pipes in your home. If you have an instant hot water system and you want to check to see if this is the source of the running water, find the hot water circulating pump (probably in the vicinity and downstream of the hot water heater) and turn it off. If you still hear water circulating, you should check further as you may have a leak in the cold water system. Hope that helps.
