Tools and Material Required (not included)
• Flat-head Screwdriver and/or 5/16" Nut Driver
• Inlet/Outlet Pool Plugs
• Channel Lock Pliers
• Flex Hose with Threaded Connection (soft-sided pools using 2.25" connectors only)
Positioning the Arc
• In order for the SolarArc to function properly, it must be exposed to at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day.
• Ensure the Arc is on a level surface.
• Do NOT place the Arc in a location that will either provide access to the pool or interfere with the flow of traffic.
• Place the Arc after, NOT before the filter system as doing so could cause debris to clog the heating system.
• Do NOT install the Arc on a roof or standing structure, it should be placed on the ground.
• SolarArc can be placed up to 20' away from the filter system using a 1hp pump (addition plumbing will be required).
Connecting the Panel
1) Remove SolarArc and the kit components from the box.
2) Remove the protective film from the clear cover of the unit (Figure 1).
3) Wrap each of the (4) headers and (2) pipe adaptors or (2) threaded adaptors with an adequate amount of Teflon tape (Figures 2 and 3).
NOTE: The threaded adaptors are used for larger, soft-sided pools with a 2.25" threaded flex hose.
4) Thread the pipe adaptors or threaded adaptors into the 1.5" PVC coupling (Figure 4).
5) Thread the coupling and pipe adaptor onto the ends of the header labeled "FROM FILTER" and "TO POOL", using channel locks to ensure a secure
fit (Figure 5).
6) Attach (2) end caps to the opposing header (not labeled), using channel locks to ensure a secure fit (Figure 6).
7) Plug the return fitting to the pool to ensure there is no water loss (Figure 7).
8) Turn the filter to the OFF position and turn the valve to the CLOSED position. The skimmer can also be plugged to ensure water does not drain from
the pool when the return hose is disconnected (Figure 8).
9) Disconnect the hose from the return fitting (Figure 9).
10) Connect the hose removed from the return fitting to the pipe adaptor/header labeled "FROM FILTER" and tighten the hose clamp with a screwdriver
(Figure 10).
NOTE: Installation using the 2.25" threaded adaptor will not use the hose clamps.
11) Slide (2) hose clamps onto the provided 6' hose.
NOTE: For threaded, soft-sided pool hose, an additional hose will be needed. Hose clamps will not be used with this type of installation.
12) Connect one end of the 6' hose to the return of the pool and the other to the pipe adaptor/header labeled "TO POOL". Secure the hose by
positioning and tightening the hose clamps (Figures 11 and 12).
13) Attach legs to the underside of the rear end (opposite the end with the labels Frm Filter and To Pool)
14) Use 2 of the 4 metal stakes provided to secure the rear of the unit by inserting the curved end into the holes near the bottom of the legs, and then
secure them by pushing the legs into the ground.
15) Use the 2 remaining metal stakes provided to secure the front end of the SolarArc by pushing them through the small holes located on the base, and
secure to the ground.
16) Once all connections are made, remove all plugs from the inlet/outlet and turn the filter to the FILTER position.
WARNING: Do NOT operate the filter or SolarArc while the filter is in the CLOSED position or there are any plugs in the inlet or outlet as this can create
dangerous levels of pressure. Ensure the entire system is open and the filter is in the FILTER position prior to running the system.
