D. Hold -Down Strap
A 100' roll will hold down up to twelve collectors.
Note: local building codes for wind load may require
additional strapping.
E. Vacuum Relief Valve
One per system is reouired whenever collector inlet
(bottom) headers are higher than three feet above the
pool surface. Several locations for installation of this
valve are acceptable. See Section 2, Step 10, on Page 5.
F. Check Valve
One check valve should be installed per system. A
second valve must also be installed whenever collector
inlet (bottom) headers are more than three feet above the
pool. See Section 3, Figure 3, on page 5 for locations.
G. Control System
Every Solar World pool heater needs a control system to
by-pass the solar collectors when the pool is at the
desired temperature, or during inclement weather. In
most climates an automatic control system should be
used. It consists of an electronic control panel, two
sensors and a motor -driven valve. In warm climates, or
when the system is regularly attended, a manual control
valve may be used.
Installation of Guardian, SwirnMaster Plus or Sunfire Solar Collectors
Step 1: Plan the location of the collectors on the
mounting surface. The outlet (top) headers must be at
least 4 inches hiaherthan the inlet(bottom) headers and
the row of collectors must slope at least 1/4 inch per
collector toward the supply pipe as shown in Figure 2.
This will permit drainage which prevents freeze damage.
Table 1 shows the amount of space required for an
uninterrupted row of collectors.
Add 8 to 12 inches at each end of the row for piping. Add
2 inches above the outlet header for Header Bracket
Assemblies.
Note from Figure 2 that the pipe carrying the water back
to the poo!, the return pipe, is connected to the collectors
diagonally opposite the supply pipe to the collectors.
Step 2: Starting at the return (back to pool) end of the
outlet headers, snap a horizontal chalk line 1 1/2" up the
roof above the intended top of the outlet headers. The
chalk line must slope down the roof toward the supply
side 1/4" per collector. For example, six collectors in the
row means a total slope of 1 112" inches.
(the intended beginning) of your collector array (the first
collector in your system is the one connecting to the
supply piping). Next, make a chalk mark roughly 12" first,
and then every 24" horizontally across your array area,
2" above the intended line of your upper headers (two
marks for every collector to be installed). Locate roof
trusses for these marks if possible.

Step 5: Bring two collectors upon the roof. Connect the
headers together with Short Hoses. Between the two
outlet headers, where they are connected by a hose,
snouid be two Coupling Clamps. Tighten a Coupling
Clamp at each end of the hose, just behind the barb at the
end of the collector fitting. DO NOT OVER -TIGHTEN
(hose rubber should only bulge slightly into the holes in
the band of the clamp).
Brace the two collectors at the intended beginning of your
array. Then, align the base of the first Universal Mount
with the first chalk line
mark. Pill the pilot hole
with a high quality, poly-
urethane sealer. Place
a steel washer into the
circular area in the
Mount's base, and slide
a mounting screw
through the Mount's
hole, and anchor it into
the roof. Cover each
screw's head with
ample sealant. Fasten
the next three Univer-
sal Mounts to the roof
along the chalk marks.
Lay the top headers
from the two collectors
into the Mounts' bases.

Step o: Install the remaining collectors in the array.
Each of these collectors will have two Universal Mounts.
Apply polyurethane sealerto all anchor points, as in Step
5. Slide the tops of the Universal Mounts into place on
their bases until each snaps, fastening the collectors
firmly in place.
Step 7: Drill a pilot hole (3/16" for 1/4" lag bolt) on each
end of the strap chalk lines, a minimum of 3" from the
edge of the absorber plate (four places). Drill pilot holes
on each chalk line, between the edges of the absorber
plate at each collector. These holes should be about 1/4"
off of center, so that the leg of the Strap Bracket will be in
the center of the space. install the Strap Brackets with
polyurethane sealer. The Strap Brackets at both ends of
the row mus, be installed with the bracket's flat side
towards the collector (screw head outside). Note: be
sure all of your anchors satisfy your prevailing local code
requirements.
Step 8: Slip the Hold -Down Strap (polyester) through the
Strap Brackets, tie it to one end bracket, stretch it tight,
cut it off and tie it to the bracket at the opposite end.
Polypropylene strap is slipped through the bracket and
doubled back on itself. Slip a Strap Clamp over fhe
doubled section and tighten the screw until the strap
bulges into the hole. Do not puncture strap with screw.
Step 9: Connect the end caps to the collectors' in the
locations shown on. Figure 2, using Short Hoses and
Coupling Clamps. Connect the collectors to the supply
and return piping with Long Hoses and Coupling Clamps
usino Pipe to Collector Adapters. Universal PVC/CPVC/
ABS adhesive must be used at these cemented joints -
Step 10: The appropriate location for the vacuum relief
valve in the system may be dictated by the particulars of
the system. Typically best locations are: out of a tee at
the supply connection of the pipe and collectors (see "E'
in Figure 1); out of a fitting, in place of any of the end caps;
and out of a tee in the supply or retum line, just below the
roof level.
Solar to Filter System Piping:
Step 11: If the plumbing in your system will not allow the
collectors to properly drain (eg: piping over the peak of
the roof), a manual drain line must be installed from the
lowest point in the system on the roof. Manually draining
the system during freezing weather should protect the
collectors from freezing.
Notes: 1) Local building codes may enforce additional
requirements for the installation of your solar system.
2) All points where the system is anchored to the roof
should be prope riyflashed, especially for asbestos shingie
roots. Check your local building codes for the approved
method of flashing root penetrations.

higher than the pool, a check valve should be installed
between the pool filter and the control valve. This valve
prevents back -washing filter debris to the pool. The pool
water sensor for an automatic control must be installed
before the control valve, so that it senses the actual pool
water temperature. The solar sensor is mounted on the
same surface as the solar collectors but not touching
them. It is important that the sensor sees the same sun,
all day, as the collectors. installation instructions packed
with the automatic control system should be followed.
Solar system isolation valves should be installed to allow
the collectors to be serviced without requiring that the
pool circulation stay turned off. If the 3 -way control valve
has a non -positive seal, a ball valve should be installed
between the 3 -way valve and the collectors. If the 3 -way
has a positive seal, it will act as the isolation valve on the
supply side. Install a 1/2 Ib. spring check valve between
the return from the solar collectors and the bypass tee in
the return line. Do not use two ball valves for system
isolation.
If a high pressure pool cleaner pump is used, its supply
should be connected between the filter and the control
valve. It a gas or electric heater or heat pump is used, it
must be installed between the solar system return tee
and the return, lino to the pool. Heaters and heat pumps
often create an excessive pressure loss, so it is good
practice to provide a bypass as shown. The bypass
valve may be opened whenever the solar system
alone is heating the pool (Note: some heaters
require water flow at all times).
On the roof (or other mounting surface)
horizontal pipes should be supported
every 4 feet and vertical pipes every 8
feet. A support should be placed as
close to the collector supply and
return as is practical. Stainless
Steel Hold Down Clamps, Part
Number2022, are usefulforthis
purpose.
XI
Special System Layout Piping:
The shape of the available space or roof obstructions
often dictate dividing a system into multiple rows or
splitting rows.
Figure 4 below shows a system divided into two rows.
You will need a System Kit, Part Number 1091, for each
added row. Note that the return from the lower row is
connected to the return at the highest point in the system.
Slope the rows toward the supply for drainage.
Figure 5 on page 7 shows a more complex, multi-level
system with split rows. Roof vents can often be straddled
by using a pair of long hoses in place of short ones.
The normal space between the absorber plates on
adjacent collectors is 2.9 inches. That space can be
increased to 7.9 inches by replacing short hoses with
long ones, giving room to pass any standard vent stack.
For larger obstructions, such as chimneys, attic vents or
windows, you will have to split the row with the Split Row
Kit, Part Number 1093.
In Figure 5, the third row is on another roof, higher than
the first two rows. Note that the returns for the first two
rows meet the return from the third row at the highest
point in the system. Again, slope all rows toward the
supplies, so they can drain.

Section 4
Start -lap and Maintenance
Start -Up and Test:
Before starting the pump, we recommend that you install
a flow meter in a location to accurately show the flow rate
through the solar system. The preferred location is
before the solar collectors, after at least 3 feet of straight
pipe. You can then determine if the flow rate meets the
levels shown in Table 3.
This section describes the steps for starting an automatic
system. [If a manual control is used, turn the three-way
valve to the indicated positions. The 'OFF" mark oppo-
site the valve handle indicates the line that is blocked by
the diverter]. Switch the control to "Ofd'. The "Power",
"Heating" and "Cooling" lights should go on and the
control valve should turn to divert water flow through the

Mors. If it does not,

�.�itch, make sure it is
not in the "OFF" position.
With the system on, the collectors should be purged of all
air in 1 to 3 minutes and the water returning to the pool
should be clear and free from air bubbles. After 5
minutes, feel the return end of the absorber plate on each
collector. They should be uniformlV cool to the touch. If
they are, you have uniform flow to all collectors. If they
are not, flow must be increased to the minimum specified
levels in order to get rated performance for the system. If
on the multiple -row system, one bank feels warmer than
the other, the flow must be corrected. Install a ball valve
in either the supply or return line to the row that feels
cooler. You can then throttle this valve until the tempera-
tures of the collectors on each bank are approximately
equal.
Next, switch the control to "OFF"_ The valve should turn
to divert the water to the line that by-passes the solar
collectors. Switch the control to "AUTO". Set the
temperature control to the maximum position, or at least
10 degrees higher than the pool water temperature. The

Start -Up and Test:
Before starting the pump, we recommend that you install
a flow meter in a location to accurately show the flow rate
through the solar system. The preferred location is
before the solar collectors, after at least 3 feet of straight
pipe. You can then determine if the flow rate meets the
levels shown in Table 3.
This section describes the steps for starting an automatic
system. [If a manual control is used, turn the three-way
valve to the indicated positions. The 'OFF" mark oppo-
site the valve handle indicates the line that is blocked by
the diverter]. Switch the control to "Ofd'. The "Power",
"Heating" and "Cooling" lights should go on and the
control valve should turn to divert water flow through the

With the system on, the collectors should be purged of all
air in 1 to 3 minutes and the water returning to the pool
should be clear and free from air bubbles. After 5
minutes, feel the return end of the absorber plate on each
collector. They should be uniformlV cool to the touch. If
they are, you have uniform flow to all collectors. If they
are not, flow must be increased to the minimum specified
levels in order to get rated performance for the system. If
on the multiple -row system, one bank feels warmer than
the other, the flow must be corrected. Install a ball valve
in either the supply or return line to the row that feels
cooler. You can then throttle this valve until the tempera-
tures of the collectors on each bank are approximately
equal.
Next, switch the control to "OFF"_ The valve should turn
to divert the water to the line that by-passes the solar
collectors. Switch the control to "AUTO". Set the
temperature control to the maximum position, or at least
10 degrees higher than the pool water temperature. The

"Heating" light should come on and the valve shodid turn
to divert all of the poo! water through the solar system. If
the light does not come on, disconnect the pool water
temperature sensor wires and temporarily "short' the
solar sensor terminals. If the "Heating' light now comes
on, you probably have a bad wiring connection to the
solar sensor.
Set the temperature control to the minimum position or at
least 10 degrees below the pool water temperature. The
"Heating" light should go out and the valve should tum to
divert the water through the by-pass line. If it does not,
disconnect the solar sensor wires and temporarily "short"
the pool water temperature sensor terminals. If the light
now goes out, you probably have a bad connection in the
pool water sensor wiring. For further trouble shooting
information, see the manual packed with the control.
once everything is working, set the control for the maxi-
mum desired water temperature with the control on
"Auto" and the installation is complete.
Maintenance:
For pools that close during winter months, if the solar
system is piped so that it will naturally drain from gravity,
turn off your circulating system at least 30 minutes before
any freezing temperatures. When all water has drained
from the collectors, normal pool winterization procedures
may be followed. Any piping that will not drain from
gravity must be manually drained, or blown out, to
prevent freeze damage.
Forpools remaining open during the winter months, once
the solar system is completely drained, close your isola-
tion valve in the supply line (either the ball valve or the
positive seal 3 -way) and you may resume pool water

circulation. The check valve installed in the retum line
should prevent water from rising to the roof through the
return line.
In warm climates where the pool is kept open all year, a
normal practice is to run the filter system, supplying the
collectors with flowina water, whenever light freezes are
expected. Alternatively, an automatic control with a
recirculating freeze protection feature may be used. It
will automatically control the pump and solar system
during freezing conditions, as long as electricity is avail-
able.
Collector Repair:
It a collectortube becomes damaged and leaks, it maybe
easily repaired with Repair Kit. Part #1095. Cut the
damaged tube where it connects to the inlet header (a
standard razor knife should perform this cut adequately),
separating the tube from the header. Then tree the cut
end of the tube by cutting the center of the web, parallel
with the tube on each side, downward a few inches away
from the header. Now, you have two options:
1) insert a repair screw into the molded hole in the
header, screwing it tightly until it finishes flush with the
header. Then, slip the cut end of the tube over the
protruding end of the screw. Repeat this process for the
same tube at the other header to prevent water from
entering the tube from either end.
2) Insert a rubber repair plug into the opened tube. Slide
the plug down through the tube a few inches. The plug
should feel centered and firm within the tube. Repeatthis
process on other end of the same tube. beginning by
cutting the tube away from the opposite header.
