The Autumn Solar pool and spa heating system is very simple in its operation.

Using your existing pump, water is pumped from the spa or swimming pool through a multi-tube solar collector panel(which is generally mounted on your house roof), and then back down to the pool. As the water passes through the solar collector it is warmed by the sun.

The collector panels are made from high quality extruded synthetic rubber.

NOTE:
• As a general rule, the collector area should equal pool surface area.
• If the collector is a long way to the pool it is recommended that an automatically controlled booster pump is incorporated into the system. Check out the control units under Autumn Solar on this website

The solar collectors are guaranteed for up to fifteen years(pro rata).

The 'B-Pack'
The 'B-Pack' is a pre-constructed 4m x 1m solar panel. The inlet and outlet plumbing is on each end for permanent installation.

To increase the capacity of the solar heating system, simply assemble as many 'B-Packs' as you need to match your pool size. A rough recommendation is to have the total solar panel area equal to the pool surface area.

Each B-Pack comes complete with saddles, repair kit, and anchor strap

The 'V8-Pack'

The V8 collector panel is available as a separate item or in a kit including the valves and fittings.

To increase the capacity of the solar heating system, simply assemble as many 'V8 panels' as you need to match your pool size.

The V8 valve kit is available as a separate item (Shown in the picture right).

Autumn Solar controllers combine the latest technology with user-friendly design.

There are two models of controller unit and each model is available with either single power outlet or double power outlet(for boosted systems).
All controllers have simple plug-in temperature sensors, and come with a stainless steel mounting bracket plus the hardware required for installation.

The Digital Controller
The 'Digital' controller turns the solar pump on when sufficient heat is available at the solar collector.
It has a control knob and an Auto/Manual touch button for manual override function.
Additionally, it has a digital LED display of the actual pool temperature. The LED display also shows the temperature selection when the control knob is adjusted.
.

The Wintermode Controller
The 'Wintermode' controller features electronics that automatically tests water temperature every hour between 8am and 6pm. There is an electronic clock with battery back-up memory retention.
The winter mode setting keeps the solar system and pump in first class condition by running the solar pump periodically.
The digital LED displays the actual pool temperature and solar heated water temperature

The Autumn Solar controllers have a one year warranty and full service back-up.
