No, solar collectors and solar mats must not be installed above the water level of your pool - for example, not on roofs or walls.

The reason: For every meter of height difference between the top edge of the solar system and the filter system, the pressure in the filter tank increases by around 0,1 bar. This additional pressure can significantly impair the performance of the filter pump and, in extreme cases, lead to damage to the filter tank, the solar system or leaks at the connections.

Place the solar system directly next to the filter system at ground level to ensure safe and efficient operation.

The solar mats must be connected after the filter system and then the filter system must be switched on.

The solar mats and solar collectors only function with solar radiation, the black containers/ mats are heated exclusively by solar radiation. The pool water must be pumped through the mats/collectors with the filter system, which is then heated there.

Check that all connections are correctly connected. Switch on the filter system. Use the maximum possible solar radiation and increase the running time of the filter pump. Cover the pool overnight to prevent heat loss.

In many solar systems, the diameter for the water flow is reduced and with it the entire circulation capacity of the existing filter system. To eliminate this potential problem in advance, we recommend using a bypass set. This not only regulates the heating output, but also specifically controls the water flow.
