MANUAL CONTENTS

This manual provides a detailed step-by-step pro-
cedure for the installation of an Aquatherm
Industries solar pool heating system.  If the direc-
tions are followed correctly and only recommended
Aquatherm Industries hardware and components
are used, the installed system should provide years
of trouble free service, savings, and enjoyment.

PROPER LADDERS AND SAFETY EQUIPMENT FOR
SUCH WORK, YOU SHOULD HIRE SOMEONE WITH THE
NECESSARY EXPERIENCE  TO DO  THE INSTALLATION.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE SAFE PRACTICES ON A ROOF OR
OTHER ELEVATED STRUCTURE MAY RESULT IN FALLING,
LEADING TO SERIOUS INJURY TO YOU.
