F. Initial use
Once the solar heater is assembled and the hoses are connected to the filter pump and
the pool, open the water supply and ensure that water is flowing through the hose. Then
turn on the filter system. Air bubbles will rise from the inlet nozzle in the pool. This
happens as the air is expelled from the solar heater. If this continues for more than 2-3
minutes, check the tightness of the connections in your system.
Please note:
We recommend that you cover your pool overnight to avoid loss of heat.
G. Trouble shooting
Problem
Cause / Solution
The pool does not warm up.
Make sure that water is flowing through the hoses.
Has it been sunny enough?
Insure the maximum amount of sunshine and
increase the running time of the filter pump.
Cover your pool overnight to avoid loss of heat.
It is possible that you may need several solar
heaters.
No bubbles appear after the
equipment has been attached
to the pump.
Check the filter system and ensure that water from
the pool is flowing through the filter pump, then
through the solar heater and through the
connect or hose back to the pool.
Air bubbles come out of the
pool return after the pump has
been turned on.
Check the connector hoses for any damage.
Check that the hose clamps have been properly
tightened.
Water draining out of the
system
Check the seals in the system of hoses.
Check the hose clamps to insure they are tight
enough.
Check the connector hoses for any cracks.
4.Connecting several heaters:
If you would like to increase the heating power, you can connect several heaters together.
For this you will need an additional swimming pool hose Ø1.25”-1.5” (Ø32/38mm).
We recommend connecting a maximum of 2 heaters, depending on the power of your
filter unit.
We definitely recommend use of a bypass set included in the package (Fig. 5)
Not only does this help optimal control of heat output, it also helps targeted control
of the water flow rate, depending on the power of the filter unit.
