The unique Beluga Solar Heater is the small pool heater that makes a whale of a difference! Use the sun's rays and your backyard hose to raise the temperature of your swimming pool water. It is easy to set up and even easier to use.
Installation Requirements:
- Circulation pump
- 1½" threaded connector at water inlet to pool
- Garden hose (black rubber hoses work best)
- Sun
Instructions:
- Turn the pool pump off
- Screw the device into the pool inlet
- Attach a garden hose to the outlet at the top of the device
- Lay the hose in a sunny area
- Place the discharge end of the hose over the pool
- Turn the pump back on
- Adjust the cap on the face of the device towards a closed position to force water into the garden hose. You may need to aggressively close the cap to fill the garden hose
- Once water is flowing from the opposite end of the hose, adjust the flow to approximately a ½" diameter or smaller stream
Tips:
- The longer the water is in the hose, the warmer the water will be when it exits
- To increase the temperature of water entering the pool, use the longest hose that your space allows
- To reduce heating time, adjust the water flow to maximize the size of the stream at the time of day when the temperature is the hottest
- Works at its best when used along with a solar cover
Warnings:
- Always make sure the discharge end of the hose is located securely over the pool
- To avoid damage or injury, remove the device when the pool is in use
- Please do not use the device to lift water more than 5' from the pool inlet
- To prevent damage consult your pump manual before installing the Beluga device
