Where can I put
the Solar Bear system for my above-ground pool?
For the best
result, anywhere that the panel will be in full sun for most of the day. The
panel should face South if possible but west is next best. Lay it on grass,
gravel, landscaping mulch or the like, or mount it on a platform, rack or deck.
Mounting at a 20 to 45 degree angle with the ground will help maximize efficiency.
Do I need anything else?
You will need hose (a minimum of two
6’ sections) to connect to your pump and filter. If you are installing the
panel far away from your equipment you will need longer hose.
Will it heat my above-ground
swimming pool?
Of course! Each
system produces up to 80,000 BTUs of heat per day. In general, this will heat a
24’ round above-ground pool up to 10 degrees Fahrenheit warmer during the swim
season than it would otherwise be. A solar blanket (sold separately) will help
hold in this heat at night or when it’s windy and can help the system heat even
more. For larger above-ground swimming pools, we recommend you start with one system
unless your pool is in the shade. It’s easy to add another Solar Bear later if
you need it.
Is the Solar Bear
hard to install?
Anyone can
install it! The system can easily be installed in 30 minutes or less. A true do-it-yourself
project.
Will the Solar
Bear work with my equipment?
Absolutely! The
FAFCO Solar Bear system is designed to work with any common above-ground swimming
pool pump. This system will not work with inflatable type pools.
