1) Ensure there is adequate work space to unroll the 20’ collector.
2) Remove the collector from the box and the strap from around the
collector. Slowly uncoil the panel.
Note:
Laying the collector in the reverse direction of the coils will help
flatten the panel.
3) Remove and discard the black protective caps covering the threaded
portion of the headers.
4) Wrap the threaded ends of the
headers with the provided Teflon
tape to ensure a watertight seal.
5) Locate the header that does not have
the white serial number label and
install the PVC end caps on either
end of that header.
6) Locate the header with the white
serial number label and install the
PVC elbow connectors on either end
of that header.
7) Turn the pool pump off and
ensure the handle of the filter
is in the OFF/CLOSED position.
8) Plug the return fitting to
prevent water loss.
9) Remove the flex hose
from the return fitting of
the pool and secure it to
the lower PVC elbow
connector using a stainless
steel clamp.
10) Secure another flex hose (not included) to the top PVC elbow and
return fitting of the pool using the stainless steel hose clamps
following the above system layout.
The collector is now installed and ready to use. Ensure that all
fittings are secure.
11) Remove the plug from return fitting and turn the handle of the
filter to the FILTER position.
12) Turn the pool pump to the ON position.
Note:
Air bubbles may come through the return line during initial
start-up of the collector. This is normal and will stop after all the air has
been purged from the solar heating system.
