5.

 

Remove the necessary End Plug Pipes so that the End Pipes of the panels may be connected together.  
Only 2 End Pipe Plugs remain in place.    

 

6.

 

Insert 

only one

 Water Baffle in the center of the End Pipes 

at the filter hook-up side of the panel system.

  

(There should be an equal number of panels on each side.)  

Only one

 Water Baffle is used in the entire 

system. It is inserted into the female side of the End Pipe before the panels are joined.   
The correct location of the Water Baffle directs the flow of water through the panels and 

placing the 

Water Baffle in the correct location is very important.

  Failure to use a Water Baffle or placing it in the 

wrong location will greatly reduce the heating ability of the ecoSAVER system. (see Diagram C-1) 

 

7.

 

Twist-connect all of the panels together. Make sure the support collar stays in place on the female End 
Pipe fitting.  

Refer to points 10. through 17 on pages 6 and 7. 

 

8.

 

Hook up the filter hose to one side of the panel and pool hose to the other side as described above and 
the system is ready to use. 

Special Note:

 If you are installing 3 (or more) panel systems 

only one

 Water 

Baffle is used. It will be located in the center of the system with an equal number of half panels on each 
side of it. All other Water Baffles must be 

REMOVED

.  Additional End Plugs will also need to be removed 

to connect all panels together.

Refer to Use and Maintenance (page 10)  and the  
Optional Diverter Valve Kit (part # ESDK-1) Installation (page 12)

 

Remove End Pipe Plugs as necessary
