REPAIRING POOLSOLAR ‘HEADER’

( MANIFOLD NOZZLE). 

You will need - Drill. 8 & 10mm Drill Bit, Scissors, Pliers, Plastic Repair Tube(s) (30mm x
6mm - provided), Lubricant (provided). Tie- Wraps (provided).

In the event a nozzle is damaged or breaks off the header, carry out the following repair
procedure. Do not attempt to glue the nozzle(s) back into the header. The header is made
from polypropylene and will not adhere. 

REPAIRING POOLSOLAR

Step 1 

The rubber that joins the tubes together to form the solar
matting needs to be cut away either side of the tubing
(approximately 10cm) using a pair of scissors. Be careful not
to cut the tubing!

Step 2 

Remove and discard broken or damaged nozzle from rubber
tubing. Drill an 8mm hole into the existing nozzle hole (on
header) to slightly enlarge it.

Tip - Once the 8mm hole has been drilled, lightly  use a
10mm drill to form a slight counter-sink. This will enable the
rubber tubing in step 4 to enter manifold much easier! 

Step 3 

Insert a plastic repair tube (30mm x 6mm - provided) using
lubricant into rubber tubing. Leave 10mm of rubber
protruding from the end of the plastic tube.

Drill a 8mm hole followed
by a 10mm counters-sink
