| How to describe your solar pool heater installation needs:
"I am looking for a contractor to install a solar pool heater inside my attic. It is SolarAttic's solar pool heater and it uses a heat exchanger in the attic to heat my pool. SolarAttic says that HVAC and Mechanical contractors are very well equipment with the basic plumbing and electrical skills needed to install its attic solar pool heater. SolarAttic estimates that one skilled person and a helper can install the system in 8-12 hours the first time and in less than 8 hours after that. The solar pool heater plumbing consists of retrofitting the existing PVC pipe of the pool's support system with a solar bypass valve. The plumbing of the attic solar pool heater is identical to that of a solar panel system. The difference is that there are no roof panels and a heat exchanger is installed in the attic for the attic solar pool heater. The attic solar pool heater uses a heat exchanger that runs off of 115 vac power, which when automated is fed from the solar control near the pool's support system. In an automated system, the attic solar pool heater's heat exchanger is plumbed to the pool's support system after the filter with 2" PVC pipe. Power is supplied to the attic unit from the electronic solar control used and a temperature sensor wire is supplied to the attic unit from the electronic control." Note: After supplying the above basic information, let the contractor know of any special requirements such as trenching or long distance runs, etc. Requirements that are unique to your pool. Also let them know detailed technical resources are available online including an installation guide and that unlimited factory support is available via fax, email or phone as well. In addition, SolarAttic can deal with the contractor directly if you have located one. Contact James at (763) 441-3440 if you need assistance from SolarAttic.
