Assembly Instructions
See image 1
- Unfasten the screw caps from the inlet and outlet.
- Put the O ring on both connectors and attach these firmly to the inlet and outlet. Fasten the screw caps again to the inlet and outlet firmly.
- Attach the hose to the connector, fix the hose tightly with hose clamps using Phillips screwdriver.
- Turn the aluminium supporting poles to the vertical position, and pull out the lower part of poles to the appropriate length. Note: It is very easy to pull out the lower part. Do not use force. Hold the upper part and twist the lower part to clockwise several times until the lower part and upper part are fixed tightly.
- Remove the protective covering on the upper side of the collector.
Connecting multiple collectors:
If you would like to increase the heating capacity, you can connect several
collectors together. We recommend connecting a maximum of 2 collectors,
depending on the power of your filter unit.
Operation Guide
Initial Use
Once the solar collector is assembled, and the hoses are connected to the
filter pump and the pool, open the water supply. Ensure that water is flowing
through the hose. Then turn on the filter system. Air bubbles will rise from
the inlet nozzle in the pool. This happens as the air is expelled from the
solar collector. If this continues for more than 2-3 minutes, check the
tightness of the connections in your system.
Please note: Cover your pool overnight to avoid loss of heat.
Usage
Once the equipment is installed, it is connected between your filter system and your pool using the two hose connectors. The connector hose pushes the cold water from your filter unit into the solar chambers of your solar collector. Here it is heated by the sun’s energy and then fed to the second connector hose towards the pool.

Water heating depends on the following factors: Flow rate and the amount of
sunshine.
Solar heating only functions efficiently in the sunlight. It can also remain
connected to the pump in poor weather as this only causes a slight loss of
pressure in the pump.
Tools and Accessories Required
These tools are required for assembly. Note: They are not included in your set:
- Phillips screwdriver
- Flathead screwdriver
The Ideal Location for your Solar Collector
Your solar collector must be installed in a location with access to as much sunlight as possible.
- Do not position the solar collector over the surface of your pool.
- Keep it an adequate distance away from your pool. Install it at a safe distance.
Product Care
Do not expose the solar collector to cold weather. The solar collector should be stored in an area protected from frost. Remove it before the first frost or at the end of the pool season. All parts must be rinsed or cleaned with water only. Detergents may damage the protective cover.
Overwintering
Drain all the water from the solar collector by closing off the pipes. Store the equipment away for winter in a dry area protected from frost. Remove the pool return pipes. Make sure there is no water left inside the equipment as this can freeze and damage the pipes. Water expands as it freezes and can also damage the solar chambers.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Trouble Shooting
Problems:
-
The pool does not get warm Cause/ solution:
a) Make sure that the water is flowing through the hoses.
b) Has it been sunny enough?
c) Ensure the maximum amount of sunlight and increase the running time of the filter pump.
d) Cover your pool overnight to avoid loss of heat.
e) It is possible that you may need more than one solar collector. -
No bubbles appear after the equipment has been attached to the pump Cause/ solution:
a) Check the filter system and ensure that water from the pool is flowing through the filter pump, then through the solar collector and finally through the connector hose back to the pool. -
Air bubbles come out of the pool return after the pump has been turned on Cause/ solution:
a) Check the connector hoses for any damage.
b) Check that the hose clamps have been properly tightened. -
Water is escaping
Cause/ solution:
a) Check the seals in the pipe system.
b) Check whether you have tightened the hose clamps firmly enough.
c) Check the connector hoses for any cracks or damages.
