System type: Pumped - differential control
Installed: 1996
Inspected: 2003
System not longer there.
Client stated that tank had developed a bad leak at top fitting 5 months ago. Owner called solar company that wanted $75 to come out. "Too much money."
Client then called plumber and had tank replaced. Plumber cut lines to solar. Controller and pump missing. Tank not reconnected to solar loop. Client did not know how much tank replacement cost. Asked client why the solar installer was not called since the plumber would charge as much for service call. No explanation. A wasted "free" solar system!
