5. REMOVE the 2 End Pipe Plugs that face each other at the side opposite from the filter hook-up side of the
panel. The End Plugs are twist-connect plugs and may be removed by hand by turning the plugs
counterclockwise. If it is necessary to use a wrench do so, use the smallest amount of force needed. (see
Diagram C-2) Make sure the support collar stays in place on the female End Pipe fitting.
6. Next REMOVE the 2 factory installed Water Baffles (1 from each Panel Assembly). A Water Baffle is a
white plastic disc used to direct the flow of water through the small tubes of the panel(s). It is located in
the middle of the End Pipes of the 20' panel at the filter hook-up side. (see Diagram C-2)
7. The 2 Water Baffles are removed by separating the half panels at the twist-connect point in the middle of
the End Pipes. Make sure the support collar stays in place on the female End Pipe fitting.
8. Only one Water Baffle must be re-installed in the End Pipe connection between the 2 full panels. (The
other Water Baffle is discarded.) The Water Baffle is re-installed in the center of the panel system with an
equal number of panels on each side of it. It is inserted into the female side of the End Pipe before the 2
Panel Assemblies are joined. The correct location of the Water Baffle directs the flow of water through
the panels and placing the Water Baffle in the right location is very important. Failure to use a Water
Baffle or placing it in the wrong location will greatly reduce the heating ability of the ecoSAVER system.
(see Diagram C-2)
9. Insert and twist-connect the 2 End Pipes together on each side of the panel. Make sure the support collar
stays in place on the female End Pipe fitting.
10. Hook up the filter hose to one side of the panel and pool hose to the other side. You are now ready to use
your system. Refer to Use and Maintenance – page 9.
11. Special Note: If you are installing 3 (or more) panel systems only one Water Baffle is used. It will be
located in the center of the system with an equal number of half panels on each side of it. All other Water
Baffles must be REMOVED. Additional End Plugs will also need to be removed to connect all panels
together.
