PLACEMENT Determine a relatively flat location as close to your pool pump and filter as possible that has maximum exposure to the sun. The optimum time to collect solar energy is between 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. For each two-panel kit you will need an area approximately 5 feet wide by 14 feet long.

If you are locating the solar panels more than 6 feet from the pool pump and filter, you are going to need additional flex hose. You can order additional 6 foot hose sections at Pool Heating Depot www.poolheatingdepot.com, part #AG-60-200-6. After the collectors have relaxed, lay the solar panels on top of the underlayment positioning the headers with the serial number label closest to your pool equipment.

Mount the control valve (diverter valve) in between the two solar panels with the label ends and closest to the pump and filter. Unscrew the unions on the valve. You will need to slip the threaded valve unions on the headers first before you screw the valve flange to the two headers.
Disconnect the inlet supply hose clamp from the pool and connect it to the solar panel header that has the 90-degree PVC elbow and hose adaptor. The inlet supply hose is the one that sends the water back to the pool. Connect the 6 foot hose (included in the kit) to the pool inlet supply using the included plastic clamp.
The picture below shows decorative curbing around the solar system to protect it from lawn mowers and weed eaters. The underlayment will block grass from growing around the solar panels. MAINTENANCE The solar heater should not require servicing or maintenance other than checking for tight connections and winterizing.
