2. GENERAL INFORMATION
This manual provides information relating to the installation, utilization and maintenance of our solar heater We recommend you
read this manual in its entirety and keep it for future reference
The solar heater you just purchased for your above ground pool is simple to install and 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, and 3)
you have the necessary hoses needed to feed water in and out of your pool and filter system
These assumptions are necessary as the solar heater, once installed, will be completely dependent upon your pool’s filter pump to
push water in and through the heater’s solar coils
How It Works
When properly installed, the solar heater 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 heater The other hose will feed sun warmed water from the other
port of the solar heater to your pool via the pool return inlet in your pool As cold water is fed into the solar heater, it travels through
the solar coils where it is heated by the sun before it is delivered back into your swimming pool
Unpacking Your Solar Heater
