Read all the instructions before installing your solar heating system.
How does a solar heating system work?
- Connect your existing pool pump to the solar panel. Your pool pump sends cold water to the solar panel.
- The sun heats the water in the solar panel.
- Warm water is then returned to your swimming pool.
How well does solar heating work?
A solar heating system if sized and installed properly will raise your pool water temperature up to 10^0F / 6^0C and extend your swimming season. In order to maximize the heat, the solar panel must be exposed to sunlight as long as possible. On rainy days and at night the solar panel must be turned off so your pool water doesn't cool. You can purchase an optional diverter kit to accomplish this. On cloudy days, the solar panel won't work as well. It is recommended to use a solar blanket or a Liquid Solar Blanket. This will help maintain the heat generated by the solar panel in your pool.
Is a special pump required?
If your panel is on the ground beside your pool, you can use your existing pool pump as long as it is in good working condition. A 1HP pump will handle a panel placed up to 9 meters (30 ft) away from your pool and one story up.
Where can the solar panel be placed?
The solar panel can be placed on the ground. Avoid placing in high traffic areas, as it is not recommended to walk on the solar panel. The solar panel can also be mounted on a rack or a roof. When mounted, the panel should preferably be facing south and be inclined at a 30^ to 45^ degree angle. Don't face the panel North, because it will not heat. A mounting kit is required for placing the solar panel on a rack or roof.
How many panels do I need?
| Above-Ground Round Pool | Above-Ground Oval Pool | No. of Systems | In-Ground Pool | No. of Systems |
| Up to 4.6m | Up to 3.7 x 7.3 m | 1 | Up to 4.6x9.1 m | 2 |
| 5.5 to 7.3m | 3.7x8.5m to 4.9 x 7.6 m | 1 - 2 | Up to 4.9x11 m | 3 |
| 8.2m | 4.90 x 9.80m to 5.50 x 10.4 m | 2 | Up to 6.1x12.2 m | 4 |
| # of Panels is the minimum recommended. More panels will give you more heat, faster. | ||||

INSTALLATION
Additional parts required
- Flexible pool hose or rigid PVC pipe. Length dependent on distance from pool pump to solar panels.
Metal collars (Hose clamps) - Quantity dependant on installation.
For rack or roof placement a mounting kit (part # SOL-RMK3) is required
Tools required
- Flat head screwdriver.
- For rack or roof placement: a utility knife, a power drill and silicone sealant.
PANEL ASSEMBLY
- Choose placement for your solar panel(s). Make sure that it will be in the sun for most of the day. The area should be clear of sharp objects.
- Take the panel out of the box, remove the strap from panel and let the panel sit in the sun for approximately 30 minutes so it will become flexible.
- a) Installation: one system on ground.
Diagram
- Apply Teflon tape to threads of all 2 caps (SK-FTG-F) See Fig 3a-1
- Thread all 4 caps into the panels as per Diagram Step 3a. Do not over tighten. See Fig 3a-2
Put "O" rings (SK-FTG-I) on both combination adapters (SK-FTGD) See Fig 3a-3 - Thread both combination adapters into the panels as per Diagram Step 3a. Do not over tighten. See Fig 3a-4
- Push the hose (SK-FTG-J) over the panel header as per Diagram Step 3a. Slide a metal collar (SK-FTG-L) onto the hose. Place metal collar 14 from edge and tighten collar with screwdriver. See Fig 3a-5.
- Slide another metal collar onto the hose. Connect the 2 panels together by pushing the rubber hose over the second panel header. Tighten metal collar to secure assembly. See Fig 3a-6
Step
3a
CONNECTING TO POOL
Diagram C-1
- Turn off your pool pump. Block the inlet and outlet of your pool so that the water won't empty when you are connecting your panel(s).
- Remove the hose from the pool inlet ( hose between the filter and the pool ) and connect the hose to the panel inlet. If hose is too short, you need to purchase a new one. Make sure you purchase the appropriate size that is compatible with your existing pool equipment. For 1^1 / 4 " hose, it will only slide over the small end of the combination adapter. See Fig C1-1. For 1^1 / 2 " hose, it will slide all the way to flange of combination adapter. See Fig C1-2. Place metal collar 14 " from edge and tighten collar with screwdriver. See Diagram C-1.
- Connect another hose (not supplied) from the panel outlet to the pool inlet. See Diagram C-1.
- Make sure that your hoses are all connected the correct way and that all the collars have been tightened. Unblock the inlet and outlet of your pool.
- Turn on your pool pump. Check for any leaks. If any of the threaded fittings leak, remove the fitting and apply more Teflon. If any of the hoses leak at the connection, loosen the collar and push the hose over the fitting and re-tighten the metal collar. You will see air bubbles coming from the pool inlet. This is normal and will stop once the air inside the panels has been purged.
Fig C1-2
Note: Without a diverter, your solar heating system is always ON. At night, your solar panels will cool your swimming pool. We recommend you close your pump at night to avoid this or purchase a diverter kit (SOL-DK)
Operation and Maintenance
Turn on your solar heating system whenever the panel(s) are in sunlight. You will know the panel is working by touching it, it should feel cool to the touch. That means the heat from the sun is being transferred to the water inside the panel. Turn off your solar heating system at night and whenever it is raining. Failing to do so will cool your pool. It is recommended to close your solar heating system whenever you do a backwash or whenever you manually vacuum your swimming pool. It is also recommended to use a solar blanket or a Liquid Solar Blanket. This will help keep more of the heat generated by the solar panel in your pool.
Winterizing
System(s) on ground
At the end of the season, your solar panels must be drained of all water.
- After your pool has been closed, disconnect the hoses from the panel.
- Manipulate the panel until the water is completely out.
- Roll the panel up.
- Store the panel in a heated place until next season.
System(s) mounted on a roof or a rack
At the end of the season, your solar panels must be drained of all water.
After your pool has been closed, turn your by-bass valve in such a way to allow the water from your panels to drain. Wait half an hour for panels to drain.
- Unscrew the Vacuum Relief Valve or the Threaded cap at the top of the solar system.
- Unscrew the Threaded cap at the bottom of the solar system and make sure all the water is drained out of the system. All your plumbing should be installed in such a way to allow full drainage of system. If you are not sure that all panels have been drained properly: disconnect each panel, raise them up and make sure that no water is present. Once completely drained, the panels can be left on the roof or rack. The SunPirate panels are designed to withstand the harshest winters.
- Apply Teflon to the Vacuum Relief Valve and Threaded Caps and re-screw them into the solar system. Do not over tighten.
Important : Unlike the pipes for your pool, blowing air in the panel will not drain it. The air will only empty a few tubes.
Internal Freeze damage is not covered by the warranty
