Common Thermann Solar Problems & Solutions
We diagnose and fix real-world problems local homeowners face with their Thermann systems.
Pump Running Constantly or At Night
The circulation pump fails to shut off, even when there is no solar gain available.
Likely Causes:
- • Air lock in manifold or insufficient flow
- • Freeze protection cycle running too frequently
- • Faulty non-return valve causing circulation loops
Our Fix:
- ✓ Bleed air from the manifold and pipework
- ✓ Check pump speed/flow and adjust or replace
- ✓ Inspect and replace faulty non-return valves
Pump Not Circulating in Sunny Weather
Roof tubes are hot to touch, but the tank temperature remains low.
Likely Causes:
- • Sensor issues (controller can't see temp difference)
- • Pump failure or wiring fault
- • Maximum tank temperature already reached
Our Fix:
- ✓ Test sensors and wiring; replace if faulty
- ✓ Test pump electrically and mechanically; replace if failed
- ✓ Verify controller operation and reset if required
Water Not Hot Enough / Lukewarm
Showers are only lukewarm, especially in the mornings or after cloudy days.
Likely Causes:
- • Booster not configured correctly (thermostat below 60°C)
- • Tempering valve mixing water down too low
- • Household usage exceeding system capacity
Our Fix:
- ✓ Check and adjust booster thermostat and timer settings
- ✓ Test and replace the tempering valve if necessary
- ✓ Ensure solar contribution is maximised before boosting
Leaking Solar Tank, Valves or Tubes
Visible water dripping from the roof, tank, or pipe fittings.
Likely Causes:
- • Corrosion in the glass-lined storage tank
- • Ageing relief valves, joints, or compression fittings
- • Evacuated tube damage (tubes turn milky)
Our Fix:
- ✓ Pressure-test tank and pipework to locate leak
- ✓ Replace faulty PTR valve, fittings, or pipe sections
- ✓ Replace failed evacuated tubes or manifold components
PTR Valve Dripping Constantly
A continuous trickle of water from the PTR drain line.
Likely Causes:
- • Debris or scale lodged in the valve seat
- • Faulty PTR valve or excessive mains pressure
- • Normal expansion discharge (if occasional)
Our Fix:
- ✓ Test mains and system pressure
- ✓ Exercise the PTR lever to clear debris or replace valve
- ✓ Install pressure-limiting valve if required
No Hot Water at All
The system provides no hot water regardless of weather or boosting.
Likely Causes:
- • Tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse
- • Faulty heating element or thermostat
- • Major fault with controller or pump
Our Fix:
- ✓ Check and reset breakers; verify power supply
- ✓ Test and replace element/thermostat if faulty
- ✓ Diagnose and repair controller/pump issues
Noisy Thermann Solar Hot Water System
Banging, gurgling or 'kettling' sounds from the tank or pipework during heating cycles.
Likely Causes:
- • Sediment build-up on the bottom of the tank
- • Air pockets in the solar loop
- • Flow restrictions or faulty valves
Our Fix:
- ✓ Drain and flush the tank where appropriate
- ✓ Bleed the solar circuit to remove trapped air
- ✓ Check valves for correct operation; replace faulty components
