What is included in the delivery?

How does the solar heater work?

It collects the sun's rays, converts them to heat, and circulates the pool water through solar channels to warm it before returning it to the pool.

Do I need a separate pump for this system?

No, it is designed to be compatible with your existing pool pump. The pool water circulates through the solar channels via your pump.

What maintenance is required?

Regularly check connections for leaks, clean the panel surfaces for optimal solar absorption, and drain the system before freezing weather if necessary.

Troubleshooting

Pool water not heating significantly.

Ensure panels are receiving direct sunlight for several hours. Check for any obstructions blocking the sun. Verify water flow through the panels and confirm compatibility with your pool pump's GPH rating. Clean panel surfaces.

Leaks at connection points.

Tighten clamps securely. Ensure seals are correctly positioned and intact. Inspect hoses for cracks or damage. Replace any damaged seals or hoses.

Low water flow through the system.

Check pool pump's filter for clogs. Ensure no kinks in the hoses connecting to and from the solar panels. Verify that the solar panels are not installed higher than recommended for your pump's capacity.

System is noisy.

Ensure all connections are secure and there is no air trapped in the system. Check the pool pump for normal operation noise.
