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 connector 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.
