1. General information

1.1.

Requirements for the installation

The solar panel you just purchased for you above ground pool or ground level pool is simple to install ad effortless
to operate once connected. The installation instructions included in this manual are based on a few assumptions:
1. You have an existing above ground pool that is completely set up and filled with water.
2. Your above ground pool is equipped with a pump-operated water filtering system.
3. You have the necessary hoses needed to feed water in and out of your pool and filter system (Ø 32 mm of
Ø 38 mm).
These assumptions are necessary as the solar panel, once installed, will be completely dependent upon your
pool's filter pump to push water in and through the heater's solar coils.
1.2.

How it works

When properly installed, the solar panel will be connected to your filter and your pool by two hose connections:
one hose will feed cold, filtered pool water from your pump into one port of the solar panel. The other hose will
feed sun warmed water from the other port of the solar panel to your pool via the pool return inlet in your pool.
As cold water is fed into the solar panel, it travels through the solar coils where it is heated by the sun before it
is delivered back into you swimming pool.
The warming of the water depends on the following factors: the flow rate and solar radiation.
Sunshine is required for the solar panel to operate. The solar panel can be left connected even when the sun is
not shining, since its installation leads to only a slight loss of pressure.
