The Solar pool system has the following components (
see fi gure 5)
1. The
SUNDWARE
PANELS
are the key to your system. They absorb the sun’s heat effi
ciently
and transfer the energy to the swimming pool water that is pumped through them.
2. The
SOLAR ROOF SENSOR*
is installed beside the
SUNDWARE
solar panels to sense the
heat from the Sun. It relays the solar panel temperature to the automatic control.
3. The
POOL WATER SENSOR*
is installed in the pool plumbing, after the fi lter. It senses the
pool water temperature and relays the information to the automatic control.
4. The
AUTOMATIC CONTROL
and
MOTORIZED 3-WAY VALVE*
compare the pool water tem-
perature to the solar roof temperature to turn the
SUNDWARE
solar heating system on or
off , as required.
5. The existing
PUMP
and
FILTER
circulate clean water to the pool and through the solar
panels when required.
6. The
END CAPS
seal the solar panel headers at the end of the row.
7. The
LAG SCREWS
and
WASHERS
are used to secure mounting straps to the roof.
8. The
MOUNTING STRAPS
are used with lag screw and washer to secure the solar panels to
the roof.
9. The
EPDM HOSES
connect the
SUNDWARE
solar panels together and connect the piping
to the solar panel array.
10. The
CHECK VALVE*
is used to prevent backfl ow circulation in the solar panels at night.
(1/8” diameter hole to be drilled in the fl apper to allow for winter drainage).
11. The
“U”STEEL SUPPORTS
are used to anchor the top header of the solar panels.
* Only used in systems with automatic control.
Some systems will use a manual valve for turning the system on or off .
