Overview
1. Solar collectors
Solar collectors absorb the sun's heat and
transfer it to pool water.
A. Vacuum Relief Valve—Allows collectors to
drain when the system is off.
B. End Cap—Removed for winterization.
2. Non -positive Diverter Valve
A. Motorized Diverter Valve—Diverts pool water
to the solar collectors.
B. Controller—Turns solar water system on and
off based on the pool water and solar collector
temperature.
C. Sun Sensor—Senses solar collector
temperature.
D. Pool Water Sensor—Senses pool water
temperature.
3. Isolation Valves
These valves isolate the solar collectors and
MUST BE CLOSED during winter, filter cleaning,
backwashing and vacuuming.
4. Check Valve
The check valve prevents water from flowing
backward through the filter and backflushing
debris into the pool when the collectors drain.
5. Existing equipment
A. Pool Pump—Circulates the pool water
through the solar collectors. Some systems are
installed with a booster pump.
U
Introduction
Since 1969, FAFCO's goal has been to design, test,
and produce the world's highest performing solar pool
heating systems.
Installing a FAFCO solar pool heating system is
straight -forward and relatively simple. This manual
provides a step-by-step installation procedure for most
applications. For those situations not covered in this
manual, please contact your FAFCO representative.
Please read this manual completely before starting
the installation and take special care to comply with all
local ordinances and building codes.
WARNINGA
Safety should always be of primary concern and is
especially important whenever you are working on a
roof, around power lines or electricity. Failure to observe
safe practices on a roof or other elevated structures
may result in falling and serious injury.
B. Pool Filter—Cleans the pool water.
C. Backup Pool Heater (optional)—A backup
heater may be installed on pools used year-
round, or where a specific pool temperature is
maintained regardless of weather conditions.
6. Solar Drain Valves (optional)
Solar drain valves allow for convenient draining
during winterization.

Overview
1. Survey roof and plumbing.
2. Collector coupling.
3. Mounting collectors.
4. Connect pipes, VRV & end caps.
5. Plumb components.
6. Install control system.
Plan collector location to allow at least one foot on all
sides for roof and at least 3- for racks. Allow for any
roof obstructions.
Collector layouts
It is important that the solar collectors be installed in a
way to ensure equal flow throughout the entire system.
In order to accomplish this there are several points to
consider when designing the collector layout.

1. In split feed systems no more than 10 solar collectors
should be installed in each bank.
2. In split feed/split return systems the collectors
should be equally divided between the banks and
the return should be from the common high point.
3. In opposite end return systems no more than 17
collectors should be installed per bank.
4. In same end return systems no more than 12 solar
collectors should be installed per bank.
The return line should have the shortest possible run
back to the pool and needs to return from a common
high point. (See Figure 5.)

Figure 5—Ensuring even
flow to individual collectors
Coupling the collectors to one another and mounting
the collectors are procedures (steps) that occur
simultaneously.
Figure 6—Collector couplings
1. Short couplers (3-1/2" rubber couplers) are used
to join the collectors together and to attach the
vacuum relief valve.
2. Long couplers (5-1/2" rubber couplers) are used
whenever collectors are joined to PVC pipe.
3. When coupling collectors together, the clamps
must be positioned close to the lip of the header.
4. The vacuum relief valve and end cap clamps must
also be positioned close to the lip of the header.
5. Tightening clamps:
A. Tighten all clamps as they are installed.
B. When you have completed the solar installation,
re -tighten all clamps with the system on and
water circulating through the collectors.
C. Care must be taken when tightening clamps
to ensure they are installed straight and even.
NOTE: Use split or bank packs if it is necessary
to avoid obstructions on the mounting surface,
or other specific site requirements.

Tile stand off method
Tile clip method
Tile roof
The following tile roof mounting methods apply to
both flat and curved cement type tiles. Inform the
homeowner of any broken tiles.
1. Obtain parts.
Determine required body straps and runners based
on local wind load requirements. An additional
runner is needed for the top header strap.
2. Position runners.
A. Lay out aluminum runners and snap a chalk line
vertically to align the runner ends.
B. Place upper header runner against the lip of the
tile row where header straps will be installed.
C. Place the first body runner against the lip of the
next tile row down.
D. Place the remaining body runners based on
collector length.
3. Affix runners.
Option 1: Tile stand offs
A. Position runners on tile. Starting with the bottom
runner, drill a 5/15" hole in the runner above
a structural member every four to eight feet
depending on load requirements.
B. Insert a pencil through the holes and mark for the
tile penetrations. Set aside the runners.
C. Drill a hole with a sharp 1/2 -masonry bit through
the tiles at each marked location. Blow dust off
underlayment and tile.
D. Insert the tile stand off against the underlayment
and cut the the stand off 1- above the tile.
E. Fill lower end of stand off with roof sealant and
insert through the tile against the underlayment.
Apply additional roof sealant around tile hole.
F. Repeat at all the stand off locations.
G. Lay the runner on tile stand offs and drive lag bolts
with washers through into structural member at
Oeach hole.
F. Repeat procedure for next runner up. Work up
the roof with the header runner installed last.
Option 2: Tile clips (concealed the penetrations)
A. Each runner is held down by the clips every four to
eight feet depending on load requirements.
B. Start with the bottom runner. Determine clip
locations and remove the tile above each clip.
C. Using a sharp 1/4" masonry bit, drill out the
existing high point nail holes that allows the
runner to be closest to the tile lip. Lag through
the drilled tile hole, batten strip, underlayment,
and sheathing. Replace the removed tiles.
D. Align the runner end with the chalk line.
E. Secure runner to tile clips with #14 x 1- self -
tapping screws. '
F. Repeat procedure for next runner up. Work up
the roof with the header runner installed last.
4. Install collectors.
A. Lay and secure substrate on runners with small
self tapping screws or use header straps.
B. Lay all collectors on substrate with top headers
hanging over substrate.
C. Connect the collectors together with the short
rubber couplers.
D. Install a base on the header runner directly above
each rubber coupler. Drive a #14 self tapping
screw through base. Orient the bases such that
straps run vertically through the slots.
E. Wrap the short header strap around header and
lay into the base. Adjust and tighten caps so that
top header remains hanging over the substrate.
F. Attach bases to the runners between each
collector using #14 screws. Orient the bases such
that straps run horizontally through the slots.
G. Lay body straps across collectors and into bases.
Screw caps until tight but do not cross thread.

4. CONNECT PIPES, VRV & END CAP
Connect feed and return lines
Long couplers are used when joining the collectors to
rigid PVC piping. To connect the 2- PVC pipe to the solar
collectors follow these steps:
1. Place long coupler over collector header and install
clamp close to the lip.
2. Insert a pipe adapter into the long coupler.
3. Glue feed and return pipes to the pipe adapters.
NOTE: It may be easier to first glue the adapter to
the pipe, then insert it into the long coupler.
4. Always feed the water to the lowest end of
the collector bank (never feed to top header).
Be certain to always return the water from the
common high point in the system.
Install VRV and End Cap
Install a vacuum relief valve per bank. Install an end
cap to seal headers on end collectors. (See Figure 5,
page 4.) Install the vacuum relief valve at the highest
point but if air is introduced into the system move the
vacuum relief valve to the bottom header, the feed line,
or install a throttling valve on the solar return line.

Figure 11 —Solar loop
Solar system loop
The solar loop is installed between the filter and the
optional heater. (See Figures 11.)
The first component after the filter is a check
valve. Always leave room for check valve to be cut
out and replaced. The use of a union check valve is
recommended.
Start-up & winterization
Use a flow meter to validate the intended flow rate
System check
1. Run pump 3 to 5 minutes before turning on the
solar system. If necessary purge the pipes by
disconnecting the feed line and running the system.
Reconnect the feed line once completed.
O
Next, the diverter valve and PVC tee are installed.
The diverter valve must either be non -positive or have
a 1/4" hole drilled through the diverter for drainage.
If a booster pump is installed a diverter valve is not
required. (See Figure 3, page 1.)
Install isolation valves on the piping going to and
from solar. These components are always installed
before a back up pool heater and chlorinators. Isolation
valves are typically ball valves but a check valve on the
"from solar" line is also acceptable.
Install solar drain valves if solar collectors do
not automatically drain. Valves should be installed
in an easily accessible location. (Refer to required
winterization, page 9.)
Supporting PVC pipe
All horizontal runs of PVC pipe must be supported every
4'. All vertical runs of PVC pipe must be supported
every 10'. Pipe straps on the roof must be anchored to
the mounting surface the same as for the collector tie -
downs. Strapping should not be installed so it binds
the pipe too tightly.
The verticals are the portion of the pipe run that
takes the water from the ground up to the roof. This is
usually on the wall of the house and goes around the
eaves onto the roof.
It is standard to paint the verticals the same color
as the house if the homeowner supplies the paint.
Plumbing to and from the collectors
Prime consideration should be given to system drainage
(see "Required winterization", page 9) and appearance
when running pipe from pool pump to the collectors
and back. Standard 2" schedule 40 PVC pipe is easy
to work with and readily available.
Optional automatic solar controller
Various optional, electrically operated solar controllers
are available from a variety of manufacturers. Solar
controllers allow for automation in the pool environment.
You should read and follow the manufacturer directions
to ensure their proper operation. If an automatic solar
controller is being installed, there are benefits to re-
locating the diverter valve to the return line.
2. Turn the Solar Controller to the on position. There
should be a slight increase on the pool filter pressure
gauge (normally 2 PSI to 6 PSI) When the isolation
valve closes. The pool inlets should actively bubble
for 3 to 5 minutes as the air in the collectors is
purged.
3. Check all plumbing joints for leaks.
4. Re -tighten all collector coupler clamps while the
system is on.
.5. Check all collector couplings for leaks.
6. Feel the surface of the collectors, they should be
cool to the touch as the sun's energy is transferred
to the pool water.
Congratulations you have completed the FAFCO solar pool heating system installation. If the homeowner is available,
explain to him or her how the system works, how to adjust the control, what to expect from the system, and any
maintenance that is required. Be sure to give the homeowner his or her manual and warranty.
REQUIRED WINTERIZATION ,
NOTE: COLLECTORS ARE WARRANTED
AGAINST FREEZE DAMAGE WHEN INSTALLED
IN STRICT ACCORDANCE WITH FAFCO'S
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
Solar collectors must be completely drained and
isolated before winter to prevent freeze damage. Solar
collectors will not be damaged by freezing conditions
when properly drained and isolated as follows:
1. Turn off the solar system.
2. Turn off the pool pump and pool sweep.
3. Open optional solar drain valves. .
4. Remove end caps and vacuum relief valve. Leave
off and store in a safe place for winter.
5. Let the system completely drain for one hour.
6. If the solar collectors are mounted on less than a 100
pitch; then the solar collectors must be manually
lifted and drained. Blowing the lines with a shop
vac, leaf blower, or compressor will NOT remove
water completely.,
7. Close isolation valve(s) for winter. (See Figure 12.)
8. Ensure the solar system remains off for winter.
Repair procedures
A tube leak can be repaired if damage is located
at least 3- away from the header. Contact your
FAFCO representative for information regarding
other damage. The following procedure outlines the
steps to repair a tube leak using a FAFCO supplied
collector repair kit.

Solar isolation during pool maintenance
Follow these steps before filter cleaning, backwashing,
or pool vacuuming:
1. Turn the pump and solar system off.
2. Close the solar isolation valves. (See Figure 12.)
3. Proceed with filter cleaning or vacuuming.
4. After pool maintenance is complete, run the pump for
a few minutes to clear any debris from pool lines.
5. Open the solar isolation valves.
6. Turn the solar system on.
1. Locate the leak and mark the tube location on
each end. A bright wax based marker is ideal.
2. Using the cutting knife, start approximately 3"
away from the header, then cutting back away
from the header, scoop out the top portion of the
collector tube 1 to 1-1/2" long to insert the plug
through. Ensure the adjacent tubes are not cut.
3. Coat the plug and inside of the tube with soapy water.
4. Insert the plug pointed end first into the opened
tube section. Using the plug insertion tool, push
the plug gently, without stopping, into Ithe tube
until it reaches the header.
5. Remove the insertion tool with a quick twisting
motion.
6. Take a second plug and slide it in, stopping as
it hits the first plug. Repeat this procedure at the
opposite end as well.
This repair completely isolated the damaged tube. Repeat
as necessary to repair additional damaged tubes.
