MANUAL CONTENTS
This manual provides a detailed step-by-step pro-
cedure for the installation of an Aquatherm
Industries solar pool heating system. If the direc-
tions are followed correctly and only recommended
Aquatherm Industries hardware and components
are used, the installed system should provide years
of trouble free service, savings, and enjoyment.

CAUTION: SOLAR COLLECTORS ARE OFTEN INSTALLED
ON THE ROOFS OF BUILDINGS. UNLESS YOU ARE VERY
FAMILIAR WITH WORKING ON ROOFS AND HAVE THE
PROPER LADDERS AND SAFETY EQUIPMENT FOR
SUCH WORK, YOU SHOULD HIRE SOMEONE WITH THE
NECESSARY EXPERIENCE TO DO THE INSTALLATION.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE SAFE PRACTICES ON A ROOF OR
OTHER ELEVATED STRUCTURE MAY RESULT IN FALLING,
LEADING TO SERIOUS INJURY TO YOU.

MOUNTING COMPONENTS DIAGRAM MOUNTING COMPONENTS This section provides descriptions and part numbers of the Aquatherm Industries Installation Kits required for each solar pool heating system. The mounting location of each kit component is shown by the corresponding circled num- ber in the ‘Mounting Components’ diagram, shown above.
