Safety Instructions
Explanation of the symbols
- This product must not be disposed of with household waste!
- Warning! Hot surface!
- Warning! Read the safety instructions carefully. Failure to follow the safety precautions could result in serious injury or damage. Keep the operating instructions in a safe place.
Safety Warnings
- Fully read and understand the manual before getting started with the product.
- Caution – do not step on the heater! The hot surface can cause burnings and hurt your feet.
- Solar collectors are often installed on the roofs of buildings. Unless you are very familiar with working on roofs and have the proper ladders and safety equipment for such work, you should hire someone with the necessary experience to do the installation. Failure to observe safe practices on a roof or other elevated structure may result in falling, leading to serious injury to you.
- When installing collectors on the ground, do not build a rack support that could allow children to access into the pool.
- If mounting on a rack placed on the ground, position the rack so that it does not provide access to the pool for children.
Frequently asked Questions
How well does solar heating work?
- A properly sized and installed system will raise pool temperatures up to 38°C during the season. You will only want to circulate water through the solar collector when the sun is shining. When it’s cloudy or rainy, solar won’t work as well (and you probably won’t be swimming during those times), but your water will be back up to temperature after one or two warm days.
Where can I put the solar collectors?
- Anywhere you get at least 6 hours of full sun during the day. The longer the collectors are in full sun, the better they will work. If you are mounting the solar on an angle (like a roof or rack), the collectors should face in a southerly direction.
What additional parts will I need to install the solar system on a roof?
- You have to choose different additional kit components for your systems installation, and buy the Diverter Kit and roof mounting kit.
How does a solar panel work?
- Using your pool pump, water is automatically pumped through the solar collectors. The water is then heated by the sun as it moves through the collectors. The heated water is returned back to the pool through your return lines. You enjoy your own heated pool with no fuel costs.

Diverter Kit
When you choose your solar panel, you have to know your pool and filtration systems well. When you use a pump greater than 0.5HP (ca. 370W), you have to use a diverter kit to shunt flow, or it will affect the product’s life.

Double Set
If your systems use the pump 0.5HP or less than 0.5HP please refer the following connection way. For the numbers in the following system picture please refer to 3.1. Make sure you assemble the baffles in the right spot for a well working circulation system.
- Connection without baffle.
- Connection elbow from the solar heater towards the pool
- Connection with baffle.
- Connection elbow from your pool pump towards the solar heater.
Setting with Diverter Kit
If your pump is greater than 0.5HP, please use the diverter kit (see page component kit) to shunt the flow.
Operation and Maintenance
- The collectors should feel cool to the touch when the sun is shining on them and water is passing through. This means that the heat is being transferred to the water.
- The water returning to your pool will be a few degrees (3-5degrees) warmer than the pool itself. This is the most efficient way to heat a large body of water like a pool. Keep circulating the water, which adds a few degrees each pass.
- Circulate water through the solar collectors at least 6 hours per day during the daylight hours on sunny days. If you circulate water through it at night, when it’s overcast or on chilly days, you will cool your pool water rather than heat it. If you need to run your pump at night, divert the water directly back to the pool and bypass the solar system. An automatic controller will sense the water temperature and available radiation from the sun and automatically turn the 3-Way Valve to direct the flow of water accordingly.
Winterization
Your solar system must be drained for winterization! You must drain your solar
collectors just like you drain the rest of your pool equipment.
Remove the vacuum relief valve at the top of the solar system. Remove the
rubber end cap at the bottom and be sure all the water is drained out of the
system. Replace end caps and blow compressed air in the reverse direction of
normal water flow. This is the most effective way to drain your system.
Storing the solar collectors inside a warm and dry place is highly
recommended.
Troubleshooting
What if a collector develops a leak?
Your solar collectors are warranted against defects in materials and
workmanship. If a leak develops for any other reason, you may use the repair
method shown. The collectors are not warranted against freeze damage.
Another reason can be a not proper working circulation system. Check the
baffled and non-baffled spots being placed in the right spot.
Solar collector repair
This method allows for an easy and permanent, on-site repair of a collector by
isolating the leaking tube. Referring to the figure at the next page, locate
the tube to be isolated. (End tube has been shown for clarity). Using a sharp
utility knife, very carefully cut away approximately 1″ of the tube at both
headers. Drive a 3/16’’ sheet metal screw, preferably stainless, into the hole
in the header. The screw must be between 1/2″ and 3/4″ long. Do not
overtighten the screw. If the screw strips out, or if the repair leaks, use a
bigger screw. You can also wrap nylon tape around the screw for sealing.
With proper care and winterization, you will enjoy your solar collectors for
many years.
