THANK YOU FOR YOUR PURCHASE!
We know that you and your family will enjoy the warming water that the Poolmaster
®
Solar Heater
for Above-Ground Pools will provide. We encourage you to read through all of the instructions before

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at 1-800-854-1492.
WARNING:
• Carefully read and adhere to all notations and safety warnings
mentioned within these instructions. Failure to follow these
instructions as outlined can cause damage to the Solar Heater
itself, injury, or death.
• Please do NOT allow children to operate the Solar Heater.
• Make sure that the INTAKE VALVE is closed off when installing
or working on your Solar Heater to avoid water flow from the
pool return.
• Install your Solar Heater away from the pool to prevent children
from using the heater as a stepping stool into the pool -
DO NOT STEP ON HEATER.
• DO NOT service your Solar Heater while the pool pump is running.
• NEVER use any petroleum based lubricants on your Solar Heater,
as this will destroy the parts.
• Your Solar Heater is to be installed between the filter and pool
water return inlet, AFTER the water is filtered. The heater must
come AFTER the filter to prevent buildup in the hoses.
• 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.
• Do not remove Solar Heater cover unless for maintenance
purposes only.
NOTE:
Please review and understand the water flow options and po-
sition settings for the 3-Way Bypass Valve . Refer to page 10 & 11 for
details.
