2. GENERAL INFORMATION
This manual provides information relating to the installation, utilisation and maintenance of your Solar Pod Plus. We
recommend you read this manual in its entirety and keep it for future reference.
The Solar Pod Plus heater you have purchased for your above ground pool is simple to install and effortless to
operate once connected. The installation instructions included in this manual are based on a few assumptions: 1)
you have an existing above ground pool that is completely set up and filled with water, 2) your above ground pool is
equipped with a pump-operated water filtering system, and 3) you have the necessary hoses needed to feed water
in and out of your pool and filter system.
These assumptions are necessary as the Solar Pod Plus, once installed, will be completely dependent upon your
pool’s filter pump to push water in and through the heater’s solar coils.
How It Works
When properly installed, the Solar Pod Plus will be connected to your filter and your pool by two hose connections:
One hose will feed cold, filtered pool water from your pump into one port of the Solar Pod Plus. The other hose will
feed sun warmed water from the other port of the Solar Pod Plus to your pool via the pool’s return inlet. As cold
water is fed into the Solar Pod Plus, it travels through the solar coils where it is heated by the sun before it is
delivered back into your swimming pool.
Unpacking Your Solar Pod Plus
Carefully remove the product and all component parts from the box. Make certain all parts are present before
beginning assembly. (See Section 3, Parts List/Reference).
