Know Your Pool
Before you begin installation it is a good idea to know certain specifications about your pool:
How big is your pool?
How many gallons does it hold?
What size hose does it use?
What kind of hose connection does your pool use? (i.e. threaded/unthreaded)
What location will position the heater for maximum sun exposure?
Solar Pod Plus Heater Location
Your Solar Pod Plus needs to be located on a hard level surface. The unit(s) may be angled toward the sun using
the legs provided. Do not exceed the angle the legs
produces, or 30 degrees from horizontal in any direction.
NOTE: The Solar Pod Plus is to be installed between the filter and the pool water return inlet, AFTER the
water is filtered. The unit must come after the filter to prevent blockages in the tubing.
CAUTION
Before loosening any threaded connections on your filter, pump or pool, be sure that
the suction and pressure hoses on the filter are closed or blocked to prevent water flow.
Connecting Multiple Units
The hose for a multiple unit installation MUST be at least 1½” diameter. If you require further information regarding
the installation of multiple Solar Heaters, please see your local swimming pool specialist.
