Connection between solar collector and pool
For pools with a Ø 32 mm or Ø 38 mm swimming pool hose, follow
the instructions below:

Attach the hose to the return connector on the underside of
the solar collector.

Use a hose clip to connect the hose to the return connector
(see Fig. 13)

B: Reduction fitting, if required
C: Hose clip
D: Return connector
For large INTEX pools (which have swimming pool hoses with gate
valves), follow the instructions below (Fig. 14):

Connect the INTEX special adapter and the O ring with the
return connector. Make sure the O ring is in the INTEX spe-
cial adapter.

Screw on the pool hose with the INTEX special adapter
Make sure that the seal between the hose and the INTEX
special adapter is correctly inserted.

Correct positioning of the solar collector
Attach both legs to the underside of the device and adjust position
according to the sun. Make sure the surface is stable and level.
The device should be assembled as shown in Fig. 15.

B: Swimming pool hose from the filter / pump
C: Return connector
D: Connector flow
Make sure that all hose connections are watertight and the hose is
not kinked or have any sharp corners. It the hoses are not watertight,
check whether the O rings are correctly positioned and all connec-
tions are screwed together firmly. Do not over-tighten the hose clips
(15kg torque).
Connecting several collectors:
If you would like to increase the heating power, you can connect
several collectors together. For this you will need a additional swim-
ming pool hose Ø 32/38 mm. (Included with model 049110)
We recommend connecting a maximum of 2 collectors, depending
on the power of your filter unit.
We definitely recommend use of a bypass set (Fig. 18) Item No.

Not only does this help optimal control of heat output, it also
helps targeted control of the water flow rate, depending on the
power of the filter unit.

Initial use

Once the solar collector is assembled and the hoses are connected
to the filter pump and the pool, open the water supply and 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

your system.
Please note: Cover your pool overnight to avoid loss of heat.
