Northern or cooler climates will require the larger quantity of systems. Warmer climates may use the smaller
quantity of systems.
Additional panels can easily be added at a later date if you desire.
Location of ecoSAVER System:
1.
For best results the ecoSAVER solar heating system must be installed in an area that receives direct sunlight for at
least 6 hour a day.
This should be in the middle of the day when temperatures are the hottest.
2.
The panels may be placed on the ground, on a rack, or on the roof of a building (i.e. shed, garage, or house). The
panels should face
SOUTH
to capture the maximum amount of sunlight. Do not face panels away from the sun, such
as on a north-facing roof.
3.
If the panel(s) are installed on the ground,
do not place in a high traffic area. Do not walk on the panels
as it may
damage them and it will void the warranty.
4.
Make sure there are no sharp objects where the panels will lie. Sharp objects can damage the panels and cause
leaks.
5.
If the system is mounted on a rack, the rack should be placed at an incline of 30 – 45 º. The rack should not be
located where a child can climb on it to gain access to the pool.
6.
An optional Roof Mounting Kit (#ESRMK-1) is required for proper installation on a roof or rack. (see page 4)
7.
With the proper pump size, the system may be located up to 30’ from the filter system and on the roof of a 1-story
structure.
