CONNECTING TO POOL
System with integrated diverter
Diagram C-1
1.
Turn off your pool pump. Block the inlet and outlet of your pool so that the water won't empty
when you are connecting your panel(s).
2.
Remove the hose from the pool inlet ( hose between the filter and the pool ) and connect the
hose to the panel inlet. If hose is too short, you need to purchase a new one. Make sure
you purchase the appropriate size that is compatible with your existing pool equipment.
Place metal collar

" from edge and tighten collar with screwdriver. See Diagram C-1.
3.
Connect another hose (not supplied) from the panel outlet to the pool inlet. See Diagram C-1.
4.
Make sure that your hoses are all connected the correct way and that all the collars have been
tightened. Unblock the inlet and outlet of your pool.
5.
Make sure the valve on the integrated diverter is on the open position. See Fig C1-1.

6.
Turn on your pool pump. Check for any leaks. If any of the threaded fittings leak, remove the fitting and apply more
Teflon. If any of the hoses leak at the connection, loosen the collar and push the hose over the fitting and re-tighten
the metal collar. You will see air bubbles coming from the pool inlet. This is normal, the air in the hoses is being
purged.
7.
Turn your solar heating system on by turning the integrated diverter to the closed position. See Fig C1-2.
Once again you will see air bubbles coming from your pool. The system is now purging the air that is in the
solar panel(s).
