Before installing or using the Solar AquaDome ZIP, read the instructions of this manual carefully
and act according to these instructions only.

General
•
Solar AquaDome ZIP heats water through efficient and economical use of sun radiation and its solar energy.
During daylight hours, when the Solar AquaDome ZIP is exposed to sun radiation, the black pipe absorbs the radiation through the
transparent dome, that enables maximum entry of sunlight. Consequently, the pipe in this enclosed space warms up and heats the water
inside the pipe. The circulating water flow, enabled by a pump (not included), heat up the water in the pool. The efficiency of the
Solar AquaDome ZIP depends, among other factors, on the level of sun radiation to which it is exposed. More details about this subject are
included in the chapters "Things to Know Before Installation" and "Routine Usage".
•
The use of Solar AquaDome ZIP requires a system that includes a pool, full of water, a pump and a filter.
•
These instructions are based on the assumption that the system is in place and fully operational.
•
Solar AquaDome ZIP is suited for connecting to and using together with popular Splasher Pools systems available in the market.
Different systems operate in different ways and have different system requirements. In any case, act according to the user instructions of
these systems for the pool, the pump and the filter, without causing any injury or damage to the environment or to people.
•
The connectors attached to the heat collector are suitable for connecting to popular pool models in the market, without requiring any other
adapters. Additional adapters may be required for other pool models. For more details on the connection mode, see the "Installation"
chapter.

Watch out and take great care! The water in the Solar AquaDome ZIP
and water coming out of it may be very hot!
Careless use may cause burns and injury. Act very cautiously when coming in contact with
water flowing directly out of the Solar AquaDome ZIP. The temperature may be very high
in a system without circulation (e.g., when the pump is switched off). As a precaution,
cover the Solar AquaDome ZIP and hide it from the sun until the water in it cools off.
