Read all the instructions before installing your solar heating system.
How does a solar heating system work?
1. Connect your existing pool pump to the solar panel. Your pool pump
sends cold water to the solar panel.
2. The sun heats the water in the solar panel.
3. Warm water is then returned to your swimming pool.
How well does solar heating work?
A solar heating system if sized and installed properly will raise your pool water
temperature up to 10
the heat, the solar panel must be exposed to sunlight as long as possible. On rainy
days and at night the solar panel must be turned off so your pool water doesn't cool.
You can purchase an optional diverter kit to accomplish this. On cloudy days, the solar
panel won't work as well. It is recommended to use a solar blanket or a Liquid Solar
Blanket. This will help maintain the heat generated by the solar panel in your pool.
Is a special pump required?
If your panel is on the ground beside your pool, you can use your existing pool pump as long as it is in good working
condition. A 1HP pump will handle a panel placed up to 9 meters (30 ft) away from your pool and one story up.
Where can the solar panel be placed?
The solar panel can be placed on the ground.
Avoid placing in high traffic areas, as it is not
recommended to walk on the solar panel. The solar
panel can also be mounted on a rack or a roof. When
mounted, the panel should preferably be facing south
and be inclined at a 30
face the panel North, because it will not heat. A
mounting kit is required for placing the solar panel on
a rack or roof.
