Know Your Pool
Before you begin installation it is a good idea to know certain specifications about your pool:
• How big is your pool?
• How many gallons does it hold?
• What size hose does it use? (i.e. 1¼” dia, 1½” dia or 2¼” dia)
• What kind of hose connection does your pool use? (i.e. threaded/unthreaded)
• What location will position the heater for maximum sun exposure?
Solar Heater Location
Your solar heater needs to be located on a hard level surface. You will need to position the heater lower than the pool’s water level and
at a safe distance away from the pool (see Section 1, Safety Warnings).
• The unit(s) should never be placed on the roof of any structure, or more than 60” above the water level
of the pool.
• The unit(s) may be angled toward the sun using the legs provided. Do not exceed the angle the legs
produces, or 30 degrees from horizontal in any direction.
NOTE: The solar heater is to be installed between the filter and the pool water inlet, AFTER the water is filtered. The heater
must come after the filter to prevent buildup in the tubing.
IMPORTANT: If you are using a chlorine generator OR an in line chlorinator, it must be connected in-line following the solar
heater to prevent damage to the heater.
CAUTION: BEFORE LOOSENING ANY THREADED CONNECTIONS ON YOUR FILTER, PUMP OR POOL, BE SURE THAT THE SUC-
TION AND PRESSURE HOSES ON THE FILTER ARE CLOSED OR BLOCKED TO PREVENT WATER FLOW.
FOR BEST RESULTS: To reduce heat loss, use a pool cover on your pool overnight, run your filter system during daylight hours
and cover the solar heater at night (if running the system).
