INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The intent of this installation guide is to equip the reader with sufficient knowledge to design and install a Boss
ProSolar or Ultimate Blue Solar System. To ensure that the Systems and Components function and perform
correctly, all recommendations presented in this manual should be adopted by the reader; failure to do so may
void the warranty. This installation guide is for domestic installations only.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When installing a solar system, always exercise extreme caution when working with heights or around water; do
not use short cuts, as there is no substitute for safety. The installer of any Boss Solar Pool Heating System (or
component) must accept responsibility for assessing and implementing safety systems and procedures in
accordance with all regulatory and moral requirements. The potential to fall from a roof is a major risk along with
electric shock and exposure to harmful U.V. radiation and heat exhaustion. It is expected that the reader installing
the system uses all necessary safety harnessing, scaffolding, safety railing and suitable footwear. It is also
expected that the reader is aware of any electrical shock hazards, weather conditions, the roof condition, roof
access methods, pitch angle, and sun protection when deciding to install the system.

BEFORE YOU START - LOCATION ADVICE:
It’s important you select a suitable roof to ensure optimum performance of your new thermal solar system. Take
care to select a roof with no shading from neighbouring buildings or vegetation.
The optimum position to install a thermal solar pool heating system is on a Northwest, North, flat (15° or less), or
West facing roof. A system can be installed on an East facing roof, however a slight increase in on coverage is
recommended. Approximately 6%.
It is not recommended to install a solar system on a South facing roof.
