- Page 3 BASIC OPERATION OVERVIEW FREEZE PROTECTION Your system is protected from water freezing within the solar collector loop by at least one of three methods. Your current freeze protection method is ___ & ___. Instructions on setting or verifying your freeze protection method can be found in your controller manual. In general, solar pool heating systems should have two redundant means of freeze protection in place.
- Page 4 SYSTEM SHUTDOWN AND OPENING SYSTEM SHUTDOWN Disable the solar pool heating function on your controller and shut pump(s) off to be safe. Open the system drains to allow fluid to drain from the solar loop. Leave drains open. Ensure that water is draining to an approved/safe location. Once all water has drained out of the solar loop shut the manual isolation valves on the main supply and return lines.
- Page 5 MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATION A properly installed solar pool heating system requires little to no preventive maintenance. At most a simple visual check that no leaks are present and that the diverter valve is directing water to the solar loop during daytime hours is all that should be needed. Many solar pool heating installers or pool service companies also offer annual checks to ensure that the system is operating properly.
- Page 6 MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING MAINTENANCE INDICATORS & TROUBLESHOOTING Check the controller to make sure that no warning or error indicators are present. The most common issues are with temperature sensors. Make sure that all sensor wiring is undamaged and properly connected to the terminals in the controller. If the error persists the temperature sensor may need to be replaced.
