Before installing or using the Solar AquaDome, read the instructions of this manual carefully and
act according to these instructions only.

General
•
Solar AquaDome heats water through efficient and economical use of sun radiation and its solar energy.
During daylight hours, when the Solar AquaDome is exposed to sun radiation, the black pipe absorbs the radiation through the
transparent dome, that enables maximum entry of sunlight. Consequently, the pipe in this enclosed space warms up and heats the water
inside the pipe. The circulating water flow, enabled by a pump (not included), heat up the water in the pool. The efficiency of the
Solar AquaDome depends, among other factors, on the level of sun radiation to which it is exposed. More details about this subject are
included in the chapters
"Things to Know Before Installation"
and
"Routine Usage".
•
The use of Solar AquaDome requires a system that includes a pool, full of water, a pump and a filter.
•
These instructions are based on the assumption that the system is in place and fully operational.
•
Solar AquaDome is suited for connecting to and using together with popular Splasher Pools systems available in the market.
Different systems operate in different ways and have different system requirements. In any case, act according to the user instructions of
these systems for the pool, the pump and the filter, without causing any injury or damage to the environment or to people.
•
The connectors attached to the heat collector are suitable for connecting to popular pool models in the market, without requiring any other
adapters. Additional adapters may be required for other pool models. For more details on the connection mode, see the
"Installation"
chapter.

Watch out and take great care! The water in the Solar AquaDome and water
coming out of it may be very hot!
Careless use may cause burns and injury. Act very cautiously when coming in contact with
water flowing directly out of the Solar AquaDome. The temperature may be very high in a
system without circulation (e.g., when the pump is switched off). As a precaution, cover the
Solar AquaDome and hide it from the sun until the water in it cools off.

Safety and Warning
•
Do not handle the product when the pump operates. Switch off the pump before any service action or installation.
•
In the event that you have to drain the Solar AquaDome, avoid contact with the outgoing water flow, which may be very hot and cause burns.
•
Do not allow children to operate the Solar AquaDome.
•
Do not step, climb or stand on top of the Solar AquaDome.
•
Do not place any heavy objects on the Solar AquaDome.
•
Place the heat collector at a distance from the pool, to prevent children from using it as a step or a springboard.
•
Do not allow water to freeze in the Solar AquaDome.
•
Ensure that the pipe that feeds water into the heat collector and the pipe that comes out of it are not folded or twisted.
•
When you wish to connect more than three products, it is recommended to connect them in parallel and not in a series. (Drawing D)
•
If the incoming water opening into the pool is above the water level, take extra care, the water supplied by the heat collector may be very hot.
•
Maximum permitted water pressure in the Solar AquaDome is 2 bar.
•
After connecting the system, verify that there are no leaks. In the event of a leak, tighten the joints or add Teflon for sealing.
•
Do not create high pressure inside the heat collector. Always ensure that the pipes are not folded and that the water flow freely through
the system when the pump operates, without blockages and interruptions of any type.
•
Ensure that all the pipes and parts of the system resist hot water and are classified for use with hot water.
•
Do not take any action contrary to the guidelines and cautions applied to the pool, the pump and any other external component of the pool system.
•
This product is solely designated for heating water for swimming pools. Water coming out of the Solar AquaDome are not suitable for drinking.
•
These instructions and warnings do not cover all the possible hazards. The installer and the user must exercise with discretion.
