circulate water through the solar collector when the sun is shining. When it's cloudy or rainy, solar won't work as well (and you
probably won't be swimming during those times), but your water will be back up to temperature after one or two warm days.
If your pool pump is in good working condition, there shouldn't be any problem using your existing pump. A one HP pump will

handle installations up to 30 feet (9 m) away from the pool equipment and one story up. If the collectors are cool to touch when the
water is running through them on a warm sunny day, you are getting enough flow.
Anywhere you get at least 6 hours of full sun during the day. The longer the collectors are in full sun, the better they will work.
Where Can I Put The Solar Collectors?
If you are mounting the solar on an angle (like a roof or rack), the collectors should face in a southerly direction. For roof or rack
mounting, you'll need one SK-43 for each solar box. For high wind areas, we recommend one SK-34 High Wind Kit for each collector.
Call SmartPool at 1-732-730-9880 for ordering info.
• Flat head screwdriver or 5/16" (8 mm) nut driver
What Tools Will I Need?
For roof or rack mounting you will also need:
• Power drill
• 1/8" (3 mm) drill bit and a Phillips head bit
• Silicone sealant (GEII or equivalent)
• One SmartPool Mounting Kit SK-43 for each solar box. One High Wind SK-34 for each collector in high wind areas.
What additional parts will I need to install the solar system on a roof?
• You will need the correct amount of 1 1/2" (38 mm) Schedule 40 PVC pipe for the plumbing, going to and from your pool equipment.
• You will also need PVC primer, glue, and fittings (available where you buy PVC pipe).

Each S421 solar box (2 Collectors) will weigh approximately 80 lbs.(36 kg), and each S411 solar box (2 collectors) will weigh 40 lbs.
How much will the solar system weigh when filled with water?
(18 kg) when filled with water. There is very little additional load on your roof since the weight is dispersed over a large area.
