1 General information
1.1.1 Conditions for the installation of a solar collector
The solar collector you have purchased is intended for use with in-
ground and above-ground pools, and is easy to install and handle.
The installation instructions are based on the following conditions:
1) You have a pool which is fully built and filled with water.
2) Your pool has a filter system.
3) You have the required connector hoses to supply the pool and
filter system with water. (Ø 32/38 mm)
These are the requirements so that the solar collector can force wa-
ter through the solar chambers when it is installed and fully connect-
ed to the filter pump.
1.1.2 Use(Figure 1)
Once the equipment is installed, it is connected between your filter
system and your pool using the two hose connectors. The connector
hose forces the cold water from your filter unit into the solar cham-
bers of your solar collector. Here it is heated by the sun's energy and
then fed on to the second connector hose towards the pool.
A = feed from the filter unit to the solar collector
B = feed from the solar collector to the swimming pool inlet nozzles
Water heating depends on the following factors: Flow rate and level
of sunshine.
Solar heating only functions efficiently in sunshine. It can also re-
main connected to the pump in poor weather as this only causes a
slight loss of pressure in the pump.
1.1.3 Tools and accessories required
These tools are required for assembly, but are not included in your
set:
 Phillips screwdriver
 Flat head screwdriver

1.1.4 The ideal location for your solar collector
You solar collector needs to be in a location with as much sunlight
as possible.
 Never position the solar collector over the surface of your pool.
 Keep it an adequate distance away from your pool (keep a safe
distance).
 The solar collector is designed to allow maximum possible pene-
tration of sunlight.
1.1.5 Product care
The solar collector should not be exposed to cold weather. The solar
collector should be stored in an area protected from frost 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.
1.1.6 Over wintering
Drain all the water from the solar collector by closing off the pipes.
Store the equipment away for winter in an area protected from frost.
Remove the pool return pipes.
Make sure there is no water left inside the equipment as this can
freeze. Water expands as it freezes and so can damage the solar
chambers.

Model 049100 Speedsolar solar collector
 Attach the feet to the underside of the solar collector. Fig. 2,3
 Fit the 2 connection adapters to the underside of the solar collec-
tor. Fig. 4,5,6
 Connect the hoses between the filter unit, the solar collector and
the pool.
