General Information
Requirements for the installation of a solar panel
The solar panel you just purchased for your above ground pool or ground level
pool is simple to install and effortless to operate once connected. The installa-
tion instructions included in this manual are based on a few assumptions:
1) You have an existing above ground pool that is completely set up and filled
with water.
2) Your above ground pool is equipped with a pump-operated water filtering
system.
3) You have the necessary hoses needed to feed water in and out of your pool
and filter system (32 mm Ø or 38 mm Ø).
These assumptions are necessary as the solar panel, once installed, will
be completely dependent upon your pool's filter pump to push water in and
through the heater's solar coils.
How It Works
When properly installed, the solar panel will be connected to your fil-ter and
your pool by two hose connections: One hose will feed cold, filtered pool water
from your pump into one port of the solar panel. The other hose will feed sun
warmed water from the other port of the solar panel to your pool via the pool
return inlet in your pool. As cold water is fed into the solar panel, it travels
through the solar coils where it is heated by the sun before it is delivered back
into your swimming pool.
The warming of the water depends on the following factors: the flow rate and
solar radiation.
Sunshine is required for the solar panel to operate. The solar panel can be
left connected even when the sun is not shining, since its in-stallation leads to
only a slight loss of pressure.
Tools & Equipment Required
The following items are not included with your new solar panel, but will be
required for proper installation and operation:
■ #2 Phillips screwdriver
■ ¼" Flat head screwdriver
■ Silicone based lubricant
Know Your Pool
Before you begin installation it is a good idea to know certain specifi-cations
about your pool:
■ How big is your pool?
■ What size hose does it use between pool and filter pump (i.e. 32 mm Ø or
38 mm Ø)?
■ What kind of hose connection does your pool use? (i.e. threaded/unthrea-
ded)
■ What location will position the collector for maximum sun exposure?
Connecting Multiple Units
DO NOT install multiple units directly into the return line. Doing so may
damage the product and will void the warranty.
To install multiple units, you MUST use a bypass valve and "T" con-nector with
pressure gauge (not included, but optionally available under the Article No.
060045 Bypass Set). The hose for a multiple unit installation MUST be at least
38 mm diameter. (Picture 1)
Install Instructions
Assembly Instruction
The system layouts below will help you install the solar panel(s) to your above
ground pool:
1) To assemble the solar panel two swimming-pool hoses are needed (not
included in delivery): one to connect between the filtration system and the
collector and one leading from the collector back to the pool
2) Position the solar panel in a way that ensures maximum solar radiation (6
hrs. per day minimum). WARNING: If the filter installation is left running during
the night, it is possi-ble that it cools down the pool.
