FAQs

How many degrees can these panels raise the pool temperature?

The panels are designed to raise the pool temperature by 5 degrees Celsius or more, depending on sunlight intensity and duration.

What is the recommended installation location?

The panels can be installed on the ground, on a roof, or on a rack, provided the location receives maximum direct sunlight throughout the day and is free from shade.

What is the flow capacity of the system?

The system has a flow capacity of 10000 L/h.

What is included in the delivery?

The delivery contains 2 x Solar heater panels, 2 x Hoses, 4 x Hose clamps, 4 x Connectors (38 mm), 4 x Seals, and 4 x Screw caps.

Do I need to assemble the panels?

Yes, assembly is required for the solar heating panels.

Can these panels be used with in-ground pools?

These panels are specifically ideal for above-ground pools. While they could potentially be adapted, their design and flow rate are optimized for typical above-ground pool systems.

What maintenance is required for the panels?

Regularly check connections for leaks, clean the panel surface with a damp cloth, and drain the system when not in use to prevent damage, especially in freezing conditions.

Troubleshooting

Water is not heating up sufficiently

Ensure panels are angled correctly towards the sun and are not shaded. Check for blockages in hoses or filters. Verify that the flow rate is within the recommended range (10000 L/h).

Leaking connections

Check that all hose clamps and connectors are securely fastened. Replace any damaged seals or O-rings. Ensure the correct size connectors are being used.

Reduced water flow through the system

Inspect hoses for kinks or obstructions. Clean the pool pump's filter basket. Check if the solar panel inlet/outlet is blocked.

Panels feel flimsy or unstable

Ensure the adjustable aluminium legs are properly secured and that the installation surface is level. Tighten any loose screws on the panel frame.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Assembly is required. The panels should be installed on the ground, a roof, or a rack in a location that receives maximum sunlight. Connect the panels to your existing pool circulation system using the provided hoses and clamps. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks.

Compatibility:

These panels are designed for above-ground pools and are compatible with systems supporting a flow rate of 10000 L/h. The included connectors are 38 mm, but adapters may be needed for different plumbing sizes.

Care:

  • Periodically check all connections for leaks and tighten if necessary.
  • Clean the surface of the solar panels with a damp cloth to ensure maximum sun absorption. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • During the off-season or when not in use, it is recommended to drain the panels and hoses to prevent freezing and damage. Store them in a dry place.
