Each composite layered material was carefully chosen to deliver significant benefits, including maximum heating efficiency from the inner nano-graphitic compound, an ultra-matte black outer surface, increased chemical resistance and superior toughness for puncture resistance. By combining the best materials in one collector, compromise is now a thing of the past.     What's Included: Each DIY Kit Includes Everything You Need To: Install the selected number of solar panels in a single row. Mount each solar panel to your preferred installation surface (roof or rack). Make water connections to and from each panel. Make water connections to the systems’ supply and return plumbing lines. Contains the parts necessary to aid in gravity drainage of the panels and piping. The Following Components are Included in Each DIY Kit: Panel Kit: Contains the parts for installing a NanoTek solar pool panel to a supporting surface and making water connections from one panel to another. One (1) panel kit is included for each NanoTek solar panel. Each Panel Kit contains; (2) Heavy-Duty Mounting Brackets (2) Rhino Ring Clamps Row Kit: Contains the parts for making water connections from a row of NanoTek solar pool heating panels to the supply and return PVC plumbing lines. One (1) row kit is included for each system. Each Row Kit contains; (2) Rhino Ring Clamps (2) Rhino End Caps (2) CPVC Pipe Connectors System Kit: Contains the parts that aid in gravity drainage of the panels and piping. Also includes a high quality silicone glue to adhere the absorber to your installation surface. One (1) System Kit is included for each system. Each System Kit contains; (1) High Performance Vacuum Relief Valve (1) Tuf Gauge (Pressure Gauge) (1) Drain Down Kit (1) Prosil 60 Black High Quality Silicone Glue OPTIONAL ADD-ON: Manual Temperature Control Kit: You have the option of including a full set of valves necessary for completing the plumbing connections from your solar pool heating panels to your pool's pump & filtration system. This package of Premium Pentair Pool Valves has been bundled together to provide you with a complete set of the best valves you can get (should you choose to include them). If you are installing a system for the first time, these valves will be needed to complete the plumbing connection from your solar panels to your pool's pump and filtration system. If you are replacing an existing system, these valves may already be in place, and new ones would then not be needed. Generally Speaking: For new installations (first time installs): Valves will be needed. For replacing an old/existing system: Valves not required. If you choose to include valves, you will receive a full set of Premium Pentair CPVC Optimum positive-seal pool valves. These are top of the line valves that provide a lifetime of superior performance and have excellent flow characteristics for a high flow rate, ideal for maximizing the performance and efficiency of your solar pool heating system. A 3-port diverter valve is manually adjusted to turn solar on and off. Two isolation valves are used to completely shut off solar for maintenance and winterization (prevents water from entering the solar panels). The check valve is used to prevent water from flowing backwards through your pump & filter. Includes premium Pentair lube-free valve’s, 2″-2.5″ CPVC. If you choose to include valves, you will receive the following: (1) Pentair 3-Port Solar Valve w/ Drain Down, CPVC, 2″-2.5″ (2) Pentair 2-Port Check Valve, CPVC, 2″-2.5″ (2) Pentair 2-Port Isolation Valve, Positive Seal, CPVC, 2″-2.5″   SYSTEM SIZING: How Many Solar Panels Do I Need? A few different variables should be considered when selecting a solar pool heating system to match your swimming pool. The primary factors are; your location (climate), pool size (surface area), and heating goals (how long your looking to extend your swimming season). Understanding exactly what your goals are will help determine how many panels you need. Solar pool heating systems are sized based on the surface area of your swimming pool, rather than its volume. This is because the primary source of heat loss occurs through evaporation at the surface. If you have a geometrically shaped pool, this calculation is quite easy. If however, your swimming pool is a "freeform" shape, or a "kidney" shape, this calculation can be a bit more difficult. For pools matching this second classification, satellite mapping can be used to help measure the surface area of your swimming pool. Generally speaking, solar pool heating systems are sized anywhere between 50%-100% of a swimming pools total surface area. IE: “50% offset” means you are matching 50% of your pool’s surface area to the total surface area of all your solar panels. If your pool has a total surface area of 400 square feet, 50% offset means you will need a total of 200 square feet of solar panels to heat it. As a reference, a single 4'x12' solar panel has a surface area of 48 square feet, so a system with (4) 4'x12' solar panels has a total surface area of 192 square feet. 3-4 Month Swimming Season: If you are only looking to add some additional heating during the summer months (3-4 months of warm swimming pool temperatures), 50% offset should be sufficient. 4-6 Month Swimming Season: If you are looking to heat your pool into the shoulder months (4-6 month swimming season), you will want to aim in the 60-80% range. 8-10 Month Swimming Season: If you are looking for a full spring-fall season extension (8-10 month swimming season), you will want to aim for 85%-100% offset. EXAMPLE: Swimming Pool Size: 16' x 32' (rectangle) Surface Area (Swimming Pool): 512 square feet Desired Heating Goal: 4-5 month swimming season (Solar System Offset = 70%) Recommended Surface Area (Solar Panels): 358 square feet OR roughly (7) 4'x12' panels.
