¿Do I need a special pump?
It is not necessary. Using your existing pool pump, pool water is directed through a series of valves to your solar collectors.
¿Where can I install the panels?
In any place where the sun shines directly for at least six hours a day. The longer time the panels are exposed to direct sun, the better they work. It is ideal to have the panels pointing towards south.
¿What tools will I need?
Standard tools and materials that are useful to have when installing a Polysol system are:
• Basic toolbox
• Chalk String
• Electric wire (to connect to automatic control)
• Coax (for sensor)
• Measuring tape
• Flat head and Phillips head screwdrivers
• Channel lock pliers
• Power drill with bits
• Caulking gun
• Pipe cutter or hacksaw
• Ladder
• Garden hose
• Hand saw
• Chisel
¿What additional pieces will I need to install the system on a roof?
• You will need the correct amount of PVC tubing which will be connected to and from the swimming pool.
• You will also need glue and PVC tubing accessories which can be purchased the same place as you purchase the PVC tubing. |
