Initial Operation - POOL EXPERT AR20693 Manuel D'instructions

Heater - Pool Connections
These instructions assume that the pool and filter system are already assembled and
there is a hose attached to the pool return (pool water inlet).
Place the solar heater in a location where it will receive the greatest amount of sunlight
and at least 3 Meter away from pool.
1) Heater - Filter Pump Connection
a. Turn off filter pump.
b. Block water flow at both the pool return inlet and the filter pump outlet to
prevent water from flowing through the hoses.
c. Detach the pool return hose from your filter system and set aside.
d. Depending on the orientation of your pump setup and desired heater
placement, choose one side to be the inlet and the other to be the outlet.
e. Locate long filter hose and attach between pump (the port where the pool
return hose was previously connected.) and the inlet using the hose clamps.
2) Heater –Pool Connections
Using a hose clamp, secure the loose end of your existing pool return hose to the
outlet of the heater. See figure 2.

5. INITIAL OPERATION

Once the solar heater has been assembled and the hoses are connected to the filter
pump and pool return, unblock the flow of water into the pool return hose and turn on
the pump and filter system. Bubbles will shoot out of the return nozzle into the pool
initially while air is pushed out of the solar heater. If this persists for longer than 2 or 3
minutes, check for and repair any leaks in the hoses or connections.
6. MAINTENANCE
The solar bag should not require servicing or maintenance other than winterizing. Prior
to the first frost, or at the end of your swim season, the solar bag should be removed
from its connections to the pool and stored in a frost free location
Winterizing: Drain all the water from the solar heater by disconnecting the hoses.
CAUTION
Do NOT allow standing water inside the solar heater to freeze. Water expands as it
freezes and rupture the solar coils on the heater.
