Installation
1) Determine location to install solar collector
Select an unshaded location on the ground near the pool that is at least 5' x 20' and
receives full sun for most of the day. The solar collectors operate most efficiently
when tilted 10 to 30 degrees towards the South, although they are still effective when
facing West, East, or mounted flat. The solar collectors must be mounted horizontally
on a smooth and flat surface using the provided mounting hardware to prevent
damage. The solar collector inlet (water coming from the pump and filter) must always
be at the lowest point of the solar collectors (unless mounted flat). They need to be
accessible for annual winterizing. (Note: Winter is considered anytime air temperature
is below 40°F.)
For ground installation, consider laying the solar collectors on grass, smooth gravel,
landscaping bark or similar. If available ground surfaces are not smooth and flat,
consider building a wooden rack, platform, or deck. An example ground rack is shown
on the next page. This product can not be mounted on a roof.
