Instructions for use
SAFETY WARNINGS
Read the instructions carefully before using the device.
CAUTION: Failure to follow the operating instructions and safety warnings
may result in damage to the equipment or injury to persons.
- Carefully follow the instructions and warnings in this manual.
- Do not allow children to handle or play with this appliance.
- Always deactivate the pool filter system before working on the solar collector.
- Do not place the collector too close to the pool: always maintain an adequate distance.
- Do not use petroleum-based lubricants; petroleum will attack the plastic components of the manifold.
- This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety or have received instructions on the safe use of the appliance.
- Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Operation
It is possible to heat the water of a swimming pool through its filtration
system using a solar collector. The pump must have a minimum capacity of 2 000
l/h.
The solar collector must be installed next to the pool at an angle of 30° and
facing south.
The unit’s extendable support feet allow it to be positioned at just the right
angle.
The solar energy is stored under the transparent cover and is then released to
the water in the pipe. The heat felt at the outlet of the heating element
depends on the flow velocity of the water.
Material needed
The sun is essential to operate the solar heating collector. The unit can stay
on even when the sun is not shining, as it has very little power loss when it
is on.
To use the existing filter system, 32 and 38 mm pipe fittings can be used. The
heating element can also be mounted on the roof of a garden shed. Just make
sure that the filter system has sufficient capacity for this height or that
the filter
is designed to withstand a higher pressure (1 m height = 0.1 bar pressure). If
additional pieces of pipe are inserted or the unit is placed higher, the
capacity of the pump will be reduced.
The unit should always face south. Make sure the collector is exposed to the
sun throughout the day.
With the help of the extendable feet, you can set the correct angle of 30°.
The same angle is recommended for rooftop installations.
A white colored lid is included, which can be used on extremely hot days to keep the water from getting too hot.
Easy assembly
The only tool required is a screwdriver to connect the pipe to the solar
collector. For ease of installation, you may use the supplied long tubes. If
more than one solar collector is to be connected, the short tubes supplied can
be used. It is recommended not to connect more than 4 collectors in series.
If more collectors are required for a larger pool, it is recommended to
connect 2 or 3 rows in parallel.
The solar collector is suitable for a pool of 7.5 to 10 m3. However, this is
an indicative value that depends on the duration of radiation and the power of
the sun depending on the latitude.
Easy assembly
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure that all the components
listed below are present in the package:
- Solar collector with removable transparent cover;
- Extensible feet on the underside to obtain a 30° inclination;
- Long pipe (approx. 1.2 m) to connect the solar collector to the pool;
- Short pipe to connect 2 manifolds in line;
- n. 2 connectors for 32/38 mm connection;
- Bag of metal clips ;
- Rubber reducer 38/32 mm;
- White lid;
- Instruction manual
How to proceed
- Choose a suitable place to place the solar collector;
- Turn off the pump and make sure there is no more water circulating;
- Install the support feet on the bottom of the manifold;
- Attach the two connectors to the bottom of the solar collector;
- Connect the pipes between the filter system, the solar collector and the pool.
Hose connection 32 mm: located directly on the connector. Secure it with the
metal clip.
38 mm hose attachment: First attach the 32/38 mm rubber reducer to the
connector and then attach the 38 mm hose to the connector and secure it with
the metal clips.
- Remove dust and dirt from the transparent cover.
- Start the filter system with the water circuit open.
- Check the solar collector and pipes for leaks.
- The solar collector is ready to provide hot water allowing you to heat the pool at no cost.
Mounting Multiple Units
Proceed as described above using the short pipes to connect the collectors
together.
Winter protection
To avoid frost damage, drain all water from the system in winter. Store the
solar collector in a dry place protected from frost.
Cleaning
Use commercially available cleaners for cleaning. Do not use cleaning agents
containing solvents, abrasive cleaners or hard sponges, brushes, etc.
