Setting up Your El Niño
1. On the ground next to the pool
2. On a simple stand
– tilt the stand 0-30 degrees
3. Vertically mounted – remember that the
pumps lifting capacity will limit the maxi-
mum height of the installation
El Niño will have the best efficiency if located:
• Protected from wind
• Due south
• Isolated from the ground
Remember:
• Most pumps delivered with garden pools have low lifting capacity.
• DO NOT place the collectors more than 1 m above the pump.
• DO NOT place the collectors where they may get in contact with sharp objects
• NOTE: El Niño will retract somewhat when water is circulated through the x-channel system. When
fixed on a stand or mounted on for example a wall, make sure that collectors are free to move
Information
NOTE: When using a pump not supllied with the pool, the pressure should be checked and adjusted below
the maximum level of 0,3 bar
To achieve best efficiency from the El Niño we recommend that the pump is circulating the water
in sunny weather and are stopped when raining. Suggestion! Connect the pump to a timer, which
should be set to work during sun hours
El Niño should not under any circumstances be dragged or lifted by the hoses.
Always use filter and appropriate pool chemicals to protect the solar collector from dirt and algal
bloom
Do not walk on the collector it might damage it
Maintenance
Small cuts or leakages could be fixed with standard PVC glue. Make sure that the surface is clean and dry
before attempting to repair the damage. Always follow the instructions given by the glue manufacturer.
After Season Dismantling
1. Make sure that the power to the pump is disconnected (pull the plug)
2. Discharge the hose clamps from the by-pass connection and remove it
3. Discharge the garden hoses from the solar collectors
4. Make sure that the solar collectors are drained from water
5. Wipe the solar collectors clean with a damped cloth
6. Rewind the collectors in to a roll. DO NOT fold them toget
