Operation
1. The collectors should feel cool to the touch when the sun is shinning on
them and water is passing through. This means that the heat is being
transferred to the water.
2. The water returning to your pool will be a few degrees (3-5degrees) warmer
than the pool itself. This is the most efficient way to heat a large body of water
like a pool. Keep circulating the water, which adds a few degrees each pass.
3. Circulate water though the solar collectors at least 6 hours per day during
the daylight hours on sunny days. If you circulate water through it at night,
when it's overcast or on chilly days, you will cool your pool water rather than
heat it. If you need to run your pump at night, divert the water directly back to
the pool and bypass the solar system. An automatic controller will sense the
water temperature and available radiation from the sun and automatically turn
the 3-Way Valve to direct the flow of water accordingly.
WINTERIZATION
YOUR SOLAR SYSTEM MUST BE DRAINED FOR WINTERIZATION. FREEZE
DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY! YOU MUST DRAIN YOUR
SOLAR COLLECTORS JUST LIKE YOU DRAIN THE REST OF YOUR POOL
EQUIPMENT.
Remove the vacuum relief valve at the top of the solar system. Remove the
rubber end cap at the bottom and be sure ALL the water is drained out of the
system. Replace end caps and blow pressurized air in the reverse direction of
normal water flow. This is the most effective way to drain your system. You can
leave the collectors in place (as long as they are completely drained) and they
will withstand even the harshest winters. Of course, you can store your
collectors inside in a warm dry place. if you like.
