- Do turn the solar system off prior to backwashing the filter. Do not turn the solar back on until the filter system has run for at least 20 minutes after backwashing has been completed.
- Do turn the solar system off while manually vacuuming the pool.
- Do not walk on the solar panels if possible. If you need to walk on them, avoid walking at the ends of the panels within 12-18 inches of the headers.
- In areas subject to freezing, the solar system MUST be shut off and drained during freezing periods to protect all components of the solar system. See "Winterizing Your System".
- Your solar pool heating system requires little maintenance. However, to obtain the best possible system performance, we recommend to:
- Keep the panels free of dust and debris by simply turning a hose on them occasionally.
- Inspect the system once a year to check roof attachments, plumbing and electrical connections and valve operation. Sky Power Systems offers this service for a fee or some homeowners may prefer to perform the inspection themselves.
- When appropriate, prune back trees or other vegetation that may, over time, have grown to block sunlight from hitting the panels.
