Turn by-pass valve and pool pump off, and allow 30 to 40 minutes for drainage. Undo the isolation valves, remove the VRV, and allow the system to drain. Reattach your VRV. SunGrabber panels are designed to be left in place through the winter months as long as they are drained. - Page 9 Question: I left my solar panel full of water through the winter and now some of the tubes are leaking. Can it be repaired? Answer: Yes it can. You will need to order our “Panel Repair Kit” from your local dealer. It is very important that your SunGrabber is properly winterized each year.
