CONNECTING TO POOL
System with no diverter
Diagram C-1
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).
2. 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.

3. Connect another hose (not supplied) from the panel outlet to the pool inlet. See Diagram C-1.
4. 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.
5. 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.
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 (SQ-DK)
