4. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Heater – Filter – Pool Layout
The system layouts below will help you install the solar heater(s) to your above ground pool.
BEFORE INSTALLING SOLAR HEATER AFTER INSTALLING SOLAR HEATER
Heater - Pool Connections
These instructions assume that the pool and filter system are already assembled and there is a hose attached to the pool return (pool
water inlet). Place the heater in a location where it will receive the greatest amount of sunlight and at least 10 feet away from pool.
NOTE: Hose connectors may come preinstalled.
1) Heater - Filter Pump Connection
a) Turn off filter pump.
b) Block water flow at both the pool return inlet and the filter pump outlet
to prevent water from flowing through the hoses.
c) Detach the pool return hose from your filter system and set aside.
NOTE: If you are using an INTEX® filter, remove the
hose adapter from the filter port as well.
d) Locate outlet connector and attach to base using bracket & screws provided.
e). Locate the inlet connector and the long filter hose. Attach the long filter hose
between filter outlet (the port where the pool return hose was previously
connected) and the inlet connector (located at corner of heater) using the
included hose clamps (see figure 2).
NOTE: Depending on the size of your hose, the 1¼”-1½” reducer may need to
be used. Insert the reducer inside of the long filter hose and attach using hose
clamp. Apply a small amount of silicon based lubricant to the outside of the side
connector to allow an easy fit (see figure 2).
2) Heater – Pool Connections
NOTE: If your pool is plumbed with heavy-duty, reinforced flex hose, contact your
local pool retailer for an available GAME adapter kit (item 4553).
For Pools with 1¼” or 1½“ diameter unthreaded hoses GO TO Step A
For Pools that use 2¼” threaded hoses GO TO Step B
A. Pools with 1 ¼ ” or 1 ½ “ Diameter Unthreaded Hoses
1) Locate the outlet connector on the underside of the solar heater.
2) Using a hose clamp, secure the loose end of your existing pool return hose
to the outlet connector (see figure 3).
