Things to Know Before Installation
Location of the Heat Collectors:
In most cases, the original pumps supplied with Splasher Pools are not strong enough to raise the water to a height.
Therefore, it is recommended to place the heat collector at a lower level than the water level in the pool.
It is also recommended to place the Solar AquaDome at a distance from the pool, to prevent children from using it as a step or a springboard.
Please Note! Solar AquaDome enables you to enjoy a swim in lukewarm water even in a shaded pool, protected from sun radiation.
When the pool is located in a shaded place, install the heat collectors out of the shaded area, to provide maximum exposure to sun radiation.
Efficiency:
Solar AquaDome heats water through efficient and economical use of sun radiation and its solar energy.
The dome shape maximizes the absorption of the solar radiation throughout the daylight hours, all year round, even when the sun
is at a low angle. Operate the pump to feed the water from the heat collector into the pool.
The efficiency of the Solar AquaDome depends on numerous factors; some factors are related to climate and weather and some may
be controlled:
1. Solar AquaDome is designed to moderate the cold water in small sized Splasher Pools. For larger pools, or for further season extension,
you can join together several units. The number of installations required to provide effective heating increases according
to the size of the pool and the amount of water it contains.
2. Place the Solar AquaDome where it will benefit from maximum exposure to sun radiation throughout the daylight hours,
to ensure its effective operation.
3. It is recommended to stop the operation of the pump during night hours and when the sun is invisible.
4. When the transparent dome is not clean the efficiency of the Solar AquaDome decreases. It is recommended to clean the dome from time to time.

Stage A: Preparations
Before the installation, switch off the pump
and disconnect it from the electricity.
If the pool is already full, prevent the water in the pool from spilling out during the installation, by closing the openings with caps
(if you have no caps, you may use a plastic bag, or raise the system and perform the installation actions above water level).
Stage B: Connection of the System
Solar AquaDome is delivered with a 25 mm pipe and connectors sets for both sides.
The connectors sets enable connection of the Solar AquaDome without any equipment in addition to 32 mm pipes (Drawing A)
or 38 mm pipes, with a standard thread of a 50 mm diameter (Drawing B), according to the existing pipe in your pool.
You may not need some of the attached connectors, according to the pipe in your system. If your system is equipped with other pipes,
check if you need additional connectors.
