WHAT’S NEEDED TO INSTALL YOUR SUNGRABBER
TM
? (CONTINUED)
INSTALLING YOUR SUNGRABBER
TM
The ideal location for your SunGrabber
TM
system is a south-facing
pitched roof closest to your pool equipment with enough space to
mount your panel(s). West-facing would be a second choice
followed by east with north being the least desirable. Be certain
that trees or other structures do not shade the location you select.
The effectiveness of your SunGrabber
TM
system is dependent on
the amount of direct sunlight. Survey the roof to confirm a proper
fit.
A 3/4 to 1 1/2 horsepower pump will generally handle installations
up to 30 feet away from the pool equipment and one story high.
Large systems and remote installation may require a pump with
more horsepower. If your pool has a gas heater or heat pump,
plumb the solar system in between the filter and gas heater/heat
pump. You should see a reduction in your monthly energy bill!
You can install up to (12) 2’ wide solar panels either
horizontally (20’ panels) or vertically (10’ and 12’
panels).
When transporting panel(s) to the roof or rack and
while positioning panel(s) before mounting, be sure
they are not dragged over any sharp surfaces.
Each SunGrabber
TM
solar panel is water pressure
tested and drained at the factory so it is common for
some residual water to be present in your solar
panel upon delivery.
Additional parts required other than P/N 267 System Kit can be purchased at you local hardware store.
