Measuring the Flow Rate
The flow rate is meassured by:
1. Open up the the by-pass valve
2. Putting the return hose in a volume vessel.
Read the volume after 1 minute
3. Slowly close the by-pass valve until a flow of 4-10 liters/minute
has been achieved
(NOTE: most circulation pumps delivered with small above-ground pools
do not give a higher flow rate than recommended. Therefore, most of the
time, the by-pass valve should be fully closed when the solar collector are
operating.)
4. Connect the return hose to the by-pass connection

Connecting more collectors to your El Niño
The El Niño system offers two options to increase your solar collector area. Each El Niño Basic Kitt (3,60 m²) can either be con-
nected to the El Niño Extension Kit (1,80 m²) or to more El Niño basic Kitss.
1. Connecting more El Niño basic kits
2. Installing the El Niño extension kit
Alt 1: By using the end cap
Alt 2: By making a by-pass connection
