Enjoy your backyard swimming pool with the Fafco Original Solar Bear. Extend your swimming season by warming your cold pool and ensuring comfortable water temperatures. The Original Solar Bear's connected tube design is the most efficient solar pool heater available. Extra large manifolds maximize the flow through the pump and filter system. The Original Solar Bear system is comprised of one 4ft x 20ft solar panel and one Starter Kit for simple plumbing to your pool. The panel is made from UV-stabilized polyolefin material and will last for many seasons in direct sunlight. The integrated manual bypass valve can be used to shut off the system when the pool is up to the desired temperature. The Original Solar Bear can be mounted flat on the ground or a ground-mounted tilted rack. Put the sun to work for you and enjoy free heat from your Fafco Original Solar Bear. Note: For best performance, panels should face south, tilted 10 to 30 degrees with unobstructed sunlight. The system should operate between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on sunny days.
