OPERATION MANUAL
How Solar Pool Heating Works
• Using your pool pump, water
is automatically pumped
through the solar collectors.
• The water is then heated by the
sun as it moves through the
collectors.
• The heated water is returned
back to the pool, through
your return lines.
• You enjoy your own
heated pool with no
fuel costs.
PLEASE READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY. YOUR ENJOYMENT OF YOUR SOLAR HEATED POOL
AND YOUR WARRANTY ARE AFFECTED BY HOW YOUR SOLAR HEATING SYSTEM IS INSTALLED
CAUTION:
a) Solar collectors are often installed on the roofs of buildings. Unless you are very familiar with working
on roofs and have the proper ladders and safety equipment for such work, you should hire someone with
the necessary experience to do the installation. Failure to observe safe practices on a roof or other elevated
structure may result in falling, leading to serious injury to you.
b) When installing collectors on the ground, do not build a rack support that could allow children access
into the pool.

Why Solar Heat Works Best
Collector Cross Section
• Water is heated as it moves through the many
tubes in the solar collectors.
• Tube and web design traps heat and catches
light as the sun moves across the sky.
• Tough polypropylene material won't rust, corrode
or scale. Plus, the collector is reversible.
