    Hi,

    No you don't have to pressurise the existing plumbing system.

    A typical solar system operates through either a second coil in the cylinder or a heat exchanger like a Willis Solar Syphon.

    The solar system is pressurised however it is a seperate loop and should not have any effect on the existing plumbing system.
