Beluga Fittings

The Beluga® Solar Heater uses the sun's rays and your backyard hose to raise the temperature of your swimming pool water. It's easy to set up, and even easier to use.

The Beluga® uses the sun to heat your garden hose, then heats the water inside before returning it to your pool. It works on above ground and inground pools with 1 ½" threaded inlet fittings, or soft-sided pools with the Beluga® Adapter for Soft-Sided Pools.

Features:

• Easy to set up
• Easy to use
• Uses solar energy to heat your pool

Benefits:

• Solar Energy: The Beluga® Solar Heater uses the Sun's heat to warm the water in your hose before it returns to your pool.
• Easy to Use: Simply attach to your hose and lay it in a sunny area.

Installation Requirements:

• Circulation pump
• 1 ½" threaded connector at water inlet to pool
• Garden hose (black rubber hoses work best)

Instructions:

1. Turn the pool pump off
2. Screw the device into the pool inlet
3. Attach a garden hose to the outlet at the top of the device
4. Lay the hose in a sunny area
5. Place the discharge of the hose over the pool
6. Turn the pump back on
7. Adjust the cap on the device's face towards a closed position to force water into the garden hose. You may need to close the cap to fill the garden hose aggressively
8. 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 the water entering the pool, use the longest hose that your space allows
• To reduce heating time, adjust the water flow to the maximum size of the day when the temperature is 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
