PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The intent of this installation guide is to equip
the reader with sufficient knowledge to design
and install a TufLock DIY thermal solar pool
heating 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.
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.
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 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.
