The Global Sun Oven is so versatile, so brilliantly designed, so easy to use, you’ll wonder why you didn’t purchase one years ago!

And... The Energy SuperMarket offers the lowest on-line factory direct pricing available! Guaranteed . _______________________________________________________ HELP » Contact Customer Support • Toll-Free help line offering product info and ordering support • Online e-mail technical and operational support _______________________________________________________ Function: Superior cooking of all types of food - worldwide!!! Benefits: Uses effective alternative renewable energy source Explanation of the Global Solar Sun Oven's Function: The Global Sun Oven ® will quickly reach temperatures of 360 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit!!! When the Global Sun Oven is focused in the sun, the interior of the oven is heated by the sun's energy. Panels of polished metal flare out above the oven and direct the suns rays into the oven chamber where the heat is trapped, much like the heat captured when windows of a car are closed. The black surfaces on the inside of the oven capture and transform the sun's energy into a radiant energy wave length that cannot escape the oven chamber. Direct and reflected sunlight enters the oven chamber through the glass door. It then turns to heat energy when it is absorbed by the black inner-shell and the levelator device . * The light energy absorbed by both the dark surface, and thick steel walls of the The Global Sun Oven Roasting Pot, [or otherdark pots], and the oven's dark interior is converted into longer wavelengths of radiant heat energy. Most of this longer-wavelength radiant energy cannot pass back out through the glass, ensuring more efficient cooking. † Food will not stick or burn ... because the solar heat is radiated throughout the cooking oven and does not come from a single direct source; no hot spots created by harsh burners or heating elements. Food does not even have to be stirred - PLUS the Sun Oven is an excellent tool for boiling water. Cooking times are about fifteen minutes longer than with conventional ovens. The oven will generally reach its maximum temperature as it is being preheated. The temperature drops slightly when food is placed in the chamber. Note: The Sun Oven works even in subzero air temperatures, as long as the sun is out, the oven will capture the sun’s energy and cook as if it were a tropical day. The oven will heat up quicker on clear, low humidity days. * The Global Sun Oven is equipped with a built in levelator device, an inner shelf that pivots to always keep food level and avoid spills while the oven is being refocused. The levelator is easily removed to make cleaning easier - or expand the baking area! The four mirror finished anodized aluminum relecting panels fold in and are easily secured with a heavy-duty strap.

A: Global Sun Oven users often put their ovens outside, focused for the mid-day sun, with their dinner in it when they leave for work in the morning. As the sun moves overhead, the temperature in the chamber slowly rises to a cooking level. As the sun passes, the food is kept warm and when they return from work they have a warm, sun-cooked dinner. [Keep in mind food will not burn in The Global Sun Oven, and that the chamber is extremely well insulted, allowing food to stay warm for hours - even after the sun is low in the sky]. Q: Are special recipes or a different type of cooking required? A: No - special recipes or different type of cooking are not required. The Global Sun Oven reaches temperatures comparable to that of conventional ovens. A good rule of thumb is to add 10 to 15 minutes of cooking time for each time the oven door is opened. Q: Does The Global Sun Oven require special pots and pans ? A: No - but dark thin-walled pots with lids work best. Dark pots change the light from the sun into heat energy. Using lids is very important because they hold steam inside the pot. If a lid is not used the steam will dissipate much of the heat. Shiny, bright, or light colored aluminum pots and pans cause light to be reflected out thereby reducing the oven's temperature. Glass casserole dishes with lids also work well. For baking cakes, breads, cookies, and pies, dark cookie sheets and baking tins work best. Q: Is stirring to prevent scorching or burning to the pan required? A: No - due to the fact that there are no hot spots created by burners or heating elements, stirring to prevent scorching or burning when cooking in The Global Sun Oven is not required. The temperature of the food rises evenly. It is almost impossible to burn food in The Global Sun Oven!!! Q: Is The Global Sun Oven safe to operate ? A: Yes - relatively speaking. The only parts that get hot are the oven chamber, the cooking pan, and the glass door. Only average care used with any cooking process must be taken - use hot pads when opening the door and removing food, etc. The entire exterior of the oven, including the reflectors, remains safe to touch. Q: Can The Global Sun Oven be used all year long , including winter? A: Yes - even in winter!!! The most important factor in using The Global Sun Oven is the brightness of the day, NOT the outside-air temperature. Often, a 40-degree, clear, low-humidity day will allow food to cook faster than a 100-degree day with high humidity. The Global Sun Oven has been used very successfully at the base camp of a Mt. Everest expedition where the temperatures are often well below zero! There are, however, more cooking hours available in the summer than in the winter. In the early summer, the cooking "window" is from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm, whereas during the early winter, effective cooking is limited to 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. Q: How does The Global Sun Oven actually work ? A: The black surfaces on the inside of the oven captures the sun's energy focused by the reflector panels and transforms the suns rays into a wave length that cannot escape from the oven chamber. When a The Global Sun Oven is focused directly into the sun, the interior of the oven is heated by the sun's energy. Direct and reflected sunlight enters the oven chamber through the glass door. It then turns to heat energy when it is absorbed by the black inner-shell and levelator. This heat input causes the temperature inside the oven to rise until the heat loss of the oven is equal to the solar heat gain. The light energy absorbed by dark pots and the oven's dark interior is converted into longer wavelength heat energy. Most of this longer wavelength radiant energy can not pass back out through the glass, ensuring more efficient cooking. Q: Are cooking times the same as those in a conventional oven? A: Yes - Because the sun often is obscured behind clouds, cooking times can vary. At times it may take a little longer. The factors that affect the cooking time are: 1 - The quality of the sunlight at the time you are cooking 2 - The types and quantities of the food being cooked 3 - How often the oven is refocused into the sun Q: Is focusing The Global Sun Oven easy to do? A: Yes - All that is required is to watch the shadows created by the oven. When the shadows are even on all sides the cooker is directly focused. The built in leveling leg on the back of the oven allows for easy tracking. The Global Sun Oven is equipped with a built in Levelator device, an inner shelf that pivots to always keep food level and avoid spills while the oven is being refocused. The need to refocus depends a great deal on what you are cooking, the time of day, and the temperature you wish to maintain. A good rule of thumb is to plan to readjust every 30 minutes to maintain maximum heat. At noon the sun is high in the sky and moves quickly past the maximum focus point, creating the need to refocus more often. Later in the day you will not need to refocus as often. Many meals can be cooked without refocusing. Q: How does The Global Sun Oven help build the Green Movement ? A: The Global Sun Oven is used worldwide . Currently they are being used in over 125 countries around the world. In many of these countries, they are purchased unassembled, and the final assembly is completed on location. This reduces the overall cost of the ovens and shipping while creating jobs locally. The demands of massive population growth, and inefficient conversion of wood to charcoal, have outstripped the developing world forests ability to regenerate. The ecological effect of gathering and burning wood fuel is very burdensome and has a far-reaching negative global impact. These global trends will lead to environmental destabilization - leading to deforestation, - leading to global warming. Science strongly supports the fact that deforestation for agricultural and fuel use is changing weather patterns, causing soil erosion, and depleting plant and animal life. The Global Sun Oven offers a powerful solution to the effects of deforestation, and can have an enormous positive impact on the everyday life of millions of people in developing countries by improving their nutrition, health, and quality of life. _______________________________________________________ Delivery Information: Please allow 2 to 10 business days for orders to be processed, plus standard transportation delivery time.

Pool Heaters MidWest Canvas 12mil Deluxe Pool Cover Blue-Aluminum SpaceAge Pool Covers for swimming pools may be ordered in any of the six standard pool dimension sizes offered above - and easily trimmed for an exact fit of any dimension required, length or width. An average cover installation requires less than an hour. For custom sizes please contact us Note: All pool cover installations are do-it-yourself friendly; plastic material trims effortlessly and quickly with household scissors. Step-by-step instructions illustrate how to simply stretch cover onto surface of pool and trim around edge using side of pool as a template. Re-trim for precise fit if necessary. Principles of Operation: • The straightforward rationale supporting the use of solar pool covers is based on raising the pool water temperature by absorbing sunlight during the day - and then retaining that heat at night, plus preserving the heat generated by a solar system, heat pump, or gas heater. Additional savings are gained by a variety of other incentives listed below. High-performance prime resin polyethylene effectively captures the sun’s heat as it prisms through the specially designed raised circular air pockets within the laminated sheets of material, resulting in higher transmissivity – and generating maximum heat penetration into the pool water. • Upgrading to the Blue Aluminum Space Age solar cover provides a technologically advanced design that collects, and then multiplies heat. Initially it performs in a similar fashion as a traditionally designed cover. Then the specialized bonded layer of the Aluminum Heat Shield undercoating works to reflect the sun’s rays downward as they bounce up off the bottom of the pool, trapping the collected heat and returning it back into the water below – creating an upward spiral of stored pool heat. Blue-Aluminum SpaceAge Round Bubble Notable 14.6 percent increase in heat retention over traditional bubble design generates a significant yearly energy saving on larger pools, especially in cooler climates, or with pools located near heat evaporating sources of constant wind, i.e.; any site within several miles of an ocean or lake’s coastal shorelines. • Upgrading to the Diamond Bubble Cover Option effectively boosts the overall performance of the cover. Decreasing the space between the cells and increasing the air space within each cell with a more efficient diamond shaped bubble design results in dramatic increases in the insulating and heat generating effectiveness by up to 23 percent! Blue-Aluminum SpaceAge Diamond Bubble Function: Reduces heating costs – increases swimming pleasure! Benefits: Worldwide shipping – lowest Factory Direct prices!!! Product Applications: • Standard sizes available to fit pools from 12’x24' up to 20’x40' • Cover floats flat on pool surface keeping water free of debris • Can be used on all residential and light-duty commercial pools • Supplementing any brand of pool heater with a solar pool cover greatly enhances its performance, plus reduces energy costs up to 70 percent - thereby saving hundreds of dollars per year in pool heating costs!!! Product Features: • Adds up to 10 degrees plus notably extends swimming season • Extra-High profile bubbles effectively trap sun’s natural heat • Reduces overall pool water evaporation as much as 95 percent • Greatly reduces heat loss due to rapid night time evaporation • Dramatically retains heat during cool nights and on cloudy days • Reduces cleaning time and deterioration of water quality • Saves up to 40 percent on chemicals by preventing off-gassing • Eco-friendly concept helps environment by reducing energy use and conserving water • Proper cover selection supported by customer service agent • Installation supported by solar engineer tech assistance • Toll-Free help line and/or online e-mail tech support • Online registration of all Pool Cover Warranties now available! • Lowest factory direct pricing available anywhere.

Pool Accessories > Pool Covers > Rectangular > Premium15mil MidWest Canvas 15mil Premium Pool Cover Blue-Aluminum SpaceAge Pool Covers for swimming pools may be ordered in any of the six standard pool dimension sizes offered above - and easily trimmed for an exact fit of any dimension required, length or width. An average cover installation requires less than an hour. For custom sizes please contact us Note: All pool cover installations are do-it-yourself friendly; plastic material trims effortlessly and quickly with household scissors. Step-by-step instructions illustrate how to simply stretch cover onto surface of pool and trim around edge using side of pool as a template. Re-trim for precise fit if necessary. Principles of Operation: • The straightforward rationale supporting the use of solar pool covers is based on raising the pool water temperature by absorbing sunlight during the day - and then retaining that heat at night, plus preserving the heat generated by a solar system, heat pump, or gas heater. Additional savings are gained by a variety of other incentives listed below. High-performance prime resin polyethylene effectively captures the sun’s heat as it prisms through the specially designed raised circular air pockets within the laminated sheets of material, resulting in higher transmissivity – and generating maximum heat penetration into the pool water. • Upgrading to the Blue Aluminum Space Age solar cover provides a technologically advanced design that collects, and then multiplies heat. Initially it performs in a similar fashion as a traditionally designed cover. Then the specialized bonded layer of the Aluminum Heat Shield undercoating works to reflect the sun’s rays downward as they bounce up off the bottom of the pool, trapping the collected heat and returning it back into the water below – creating an upward spiral of stored pool heat. Blue-Aluminum SpaceAge Round Bubble Notable 14.6 percent increase in heat retention over traditional bubble design generates a significant yearly energy saving on larger pools, especially in cooler climates, or with pools located near heat evaporating sources of constant wind, i.e.; any site within several miles of an ocean or lake’s coastal shorelines. • Upgrading to the Diamond Bubble Cover Option effectively boosts the overall performance of the cover. Decreasing the space between the cells and increasing the air space within each cell with a more efficient diamond shaped bubble design results in dramatic increases in the insulating and heat generating effectiveness by up to 23 percent!

Pool Accessories > Liquid Covers Flexible Solutions HeatSavr™ - Gallon The Pool Cover Alternative For Commercial Pools or Larger Residential Pools HeatSavr™ Liquid - saves so much on your pools energy costs you'll wonder why you didn't start using it years ago! The Energy SuperMarket's most innovative product, the breakthrough concept of HeatSavr™ Liquid earns a 5 star plus rating in our Consumer Value guide! And... The Energy SuperMarket offers the lowest on-line factory direct pricing now available! Guaranteed . HeatSavr™ Liquid is an excellent and effortless alternative to conventional solar blankets. Effectively used for over 8 years by commercial pool operators to increase profitability, the unique HeatSavr™ liquid has only recently been made available in bulk form for the residential pool owner. 1-Gallon HeatSavr™ Liquid... the easiest, most effective way to save energy costs heating your outdoor or indoor pool. Try it !!! Each gallon container holds 140 ounces of the HeatSavr™ Liquid. HeatSavr™ is added to residential pool water at a ratio of 4 ounces per 1500 sq ft of pool surface area [width x length] daily, or 1 ounce per 400 sq ft daily for commercial pools. _______________________________________________________ HELP » Contact Customer Support • Toll-Free help line offering unit sizing support • Online e-mail technical and installation support • Brand and cost-of-operation comparisons _______________________________________________________ Explanation of the HeatSavr™ Liquid's Function: HeatSavr™ performs much like a conventional solar blanket, but... eliminates the hassle of constantly removing and replacing of heavy, awkward, space consuming pool blankets. • Innovation – The patent protected HeatSavr™ is based on the combination of two technologically advanced scientific formulas; a mono-molecular film-forming liquid and evaporation inhibitors. Designed to be lighter than water, it automatically floats on top of the pool's surface and forms an invisible, microscopically thin, but dynamically resistant barrier to escaping water vapor and heat. HeatSavr™ works by significantly slowing evaporation from the surface of a swimming pool - both indoor and outdoor pools! • Evaporation Heat Loss – When the pool water is warmer than the air around it, or the air has lower than 100% humidity, the pool rapidly evaporates water into the air. Large amounts of pool water, along with its heat, are literally blowing away from outdoor pools, especially during windy periods and overnight - or being exhausted by the air conditioning system of an indoor pool. Heating pool water requires a major investment of energy and costs. And heat loss due to evaporation consumes up to 90% of the cost of keeping pool water warm enough to enjoy. HeatSavr™ Liquid significantly reduces that loss, and therefore the financial cost of keeping a pool warm - as well as dramatically lowering the humidity of indoor pool areas. It does this by forming a totally safe invisible layer only one or two molecules thick on the surface of the pool! These molecules are naturally attracted to each other, and always seek to form a perfect, microscopically thin layer that covers the entire pool surface. As a comparison, the individual HeatSavr™ molecules are 500 times smaller than the spaces found in a super high quality water filter. After a swimmer stops disturbing the water's surface, the molecules immediately reform a cohesive layer. Most importantly - when they reform into a layer, they reduce the evaporation speed of the pool by up to one half. • Energy Savings – HeatSavr™ theoretically saves up to 50% of the energy costs to heat a pool - if no one ever swam in the pool, and if the circulation pump were turned off. As this is unrealistic, a more accurate performance expectation would be achieving savings as high as 40% , with the additional bonus savings achieved through major reductions in water replacement due to evaporation loss. Most pool owners will find average energy cost reductions range between 17% and 30%. For every dollar spent on HeatSavr™, expect a minimum of two dollars in energy savings. Depending on the size of pool, HeatSavr™ can yield large cost savings! HeatSavr™ will save energy in every pool - but heat cost savings will also vary according to the hours of swimmer use per day, ventilation efficiency, and especially the type and cost of fuel used, as the cost of energy also varies from region to region. Tests have proven that energy savings range from a low of 15.5% at a high use 50 meter municipal pool, to a maximum of 40% at a low use condominium pool. • Heath and Safety Assurances – All HeatSavr™ liquid ingredients have been thoroughly tested and proven completely safe for human contact, leave no after-swim residue, and is comprised of harmless non-hazardous elements. HeatSavr™ has been in use for over 8 years, and maintains a proven track record in commercial use. HeatSavr™ is filter friendly, does not affect the chemical balance [PH, chlorine, alkalinity, etc.] of the water and will not damage vinyl liners or any other pool surfaces, plus it is absolutely harmless to skin or eye contact, even in infants. HeatSavr™ is totally organic and biodegrade, and after its time-span of effectiveness is achieved, it quickly breaks down into harmless byproducts. Best of all... Swimmers in the pool will not even know HeatSavr™ is in use! _______________________________________________________ READ » Effectiveness Test Results • Savings from some Heatsavr current users • Evaporation Case Study READ » Safety Tests and Data • NSF Evaluation of Heatsavr Toxicology • Hyatt Island, California Toxicology Report • Material Safety Data INFO » Energy Cost Savings and ROI • Download ROI [Return on Investement] • to calculate how much you can save! _______________________________________________________ Commercial Use by Professional Pool Operators: Pool managers purchase HeatSavr™ in bulk for a variety of reasons. Significant savings on their energy bills is the single biggest factor! HeatSavr™'s ease of use without loss of energy savings is also very attractive to professional operators. Those who are already using a pool blanket find that, while there are energy savings, there are also inconveniences, and that their staff are not motivated to use the blankets correctly and consistently. The professionals who operate indoor pools are most interested in reducing the humidity levels in their pool rooms, and don't mind receiving the energy savings as a bonus. Note: The pure liquid form of HeatSavr™ is available in bulk supply for mid-to-large size applications - by the gallon or case . _______________________________________________________ Product Instructional Information: • For best results HeatSavr™ should be applied once at the end of the pool-use day. • Add HeatSavr™ directly to residential pool water at a ratio of 4 ounces per 1500 sq ft of pool surface area [width x length] daily, or add 1 ounce per 400 sq ft daily for commercial pools. • Bulk containers of HeatSavr™ may be stored for long periods of time without product losing strength. Avoid storing below 65 degrees F / 18 C. If white residue forms at the bottom, simply immerse bottle in warm water until residue disappears. Note: In concentrated form, HeatSavr™ could accidentally become flammable if directly exposed to an open flame, and should be stored safely. If accidental eye contact with the concentrated form occurs, flush with water for 15 minutes, and contact a physician. Helpful Q & A Information regarding HeatSavr™ use: Q: Can people swim while HeatSavr™ is in use? A: Yes. HeatSavr™ has been designed to be in use 24 hours per day. This gives HeatSavr™ a distinct advantage over standard pool blankets. Q: Can HeatSavr™ be used along with a standard pool blanket? A: Yes. HeatSavr™ adds to a conventional solar blanket's effectiveness, while covered, plus HeatSavr™ will continue working when the blanket is off. In addition, HeatSavr™ reduces heat loss around the pool edges and blanket tears when the blanket is on. Q: Is HeatSavr™ safe for all types of filters and plumbing? A: Yes. HeatSavr™ is a non-corrosive product that will have no detrimental effect on pipes, valves, chlorine controllers, or filters commonly used in pool applications. Q: Is HeatSavr™ environmentally friendly? A: Yes. VERY! Not only does HeatSavr™ bio degrade into safe, simple compounds that return to nature, but the reduction in global energy consumption all adds up to be beneficial to the planet. Q: Is HeatSavr™ easy to apply? A: Yes. This product is very easy to use. It will take about two minutes per day to apply, and it fits easily into the pool maintenance routine. When combined with an auto injection system, it becomes even easier! _______________________________________________________ Manufacturer: Flexible Solutions International Ltd.

Pool Accessories > Pool Covers > Round & Oval > Deluxe12mil MidWest Canvas 12mil Deluxe Pool Cover Blue-Aluminum SpaceAge Round Pool Covers for swimming pools may be ordered in any of the six standard pool dimension sizes offered above - and easily trimmed for an exact fit of any dimension required, length or width. An average cover installation requires less than an hour. Note: All pool cover installations are do-it-yourself friendly; plastic material trims effortlessly and quickly with household scissors. Step-by-step instructions illustrate how to simply stretch cover onto surface of pool and trim around edge using side of pool as a template. Re-trim for precise fit if necessary. Principles of Operation: • The straightforward rationale supporting the use of solar pool covers is based on raising the pool water temperature by absorbing sunlight during the day - and then retaining that heat at night, plus preserving the heat generated by a solar system, heat pump, or gas heater. Additional savings are gained by a variety of other incentives listed below. High-performance prime resin polyethylene effectively captures the sun’s heat as it prisms through the specially designed raised circular air pockets within the laminated sheets of material, resulting in higher transmissivity – and generating maximum heat penetration into the pool water. • Upgrading to the Blue Aluminum Space Age solar cover provides a technologically advanced design that collects, and then multiplies heat. Initially it performs in a similar fashion as a traditionally designed cover. Then the specialized bonded layer of the Aluminum Heat Shield undercoating works to reflect the sun’s rays downward as they bounce up off the bottom of the pool, trapping the collected heat and returning it back into the water below – creating an upward spiral of stored pool heat. Blue-Aluminum SpaceAge Round Bubble Notable 14.6 percent increase in heat retention over traditional bubble design generates a significant yearly energy saving on larger pools, especially in cooler climates, or with pools located near heat evaporating sources of constant wind, i.e.; any site within several miles of an ocean or lake’s coastal shorelines. • Upgrading to the Diamond Bubble Cover Option effectively boosts the overall performance of the cover. Decreasing the space between the cells and increasing the air space within each cell with a more efficient diamond shaped bubble design results in dramatic increases in the insulating and heat generating effectiveness by up to 23 percent! Blue-Aluminum SpaceAge Diamond Bubble Function: Reduces heating costs – increases swimming pleasure! Benefits: Worldwide shipping – lowest Factory Direct prices!!! Product Applications: • Standard sizes available to fit pools from 12’x24' up to 20’x40' • Cover floats flat on pool surface keeping water free of debris • Can be used on all residential and light-duty commercial pools • Supplementing any brand of pool heater with a solar pool cover greatly enhances its performance, plus reduces energy costs up to 70 percent - thereby saving hundreds of dollars per year in pool heating costs!!!

Sun-warmed air is the natural energy resource utilized by heat pumps. The heat pump draws in, effectively captures, and then upgrades large quantities of available low-grade heat already existing in the warm ambient air – and transfers it to the pool and spa water. This is accomplished by utilizing minimal amounts of electricity and Freon gas, along with a high-capacity fan, super-efficient compressor, and the existing pool pump. The process is similar to a refrigerator or air conditioner – only in reverse. Nothing is more refreshing than a warm swim or hot soak after a rigorous day of work or outdoor activities. So go ahead, enjoy the benefits of the Ultimate Unit… you deserve it !!! ____________________________________________________ IMPORTANT NOTE: The average skilled handy person can easily manage a basic unit change-out or new installation.

It also has a special three-port control valve that lets you add a fully automatic electronic control system at any time to give you more convenience and comfort. If you plan to put your system on the roof, or would like to increase the temperature 20º or more, we also suggest you look at our: Vortex Pool Heaters Product Benefits: • Use the sun's energy to warm the pool • Safe for the environment • Inexpensive, compact and easy to install Product Application: • Above-ground and some in-ground pools • Complete kit for new or existing pools Product Features: • Factory assembled solar heating system • Built-In oversized 3 port control valve • Oversized 4 x 25 solar collector • 3-way automatic option • Complete with everything you need for basic installation • Up to a 10º warmer pool during the swimming season • Four year warranty _________________________________________________________ OPTIONAL PACKAGE: Goldline Automatic Control [Order this package by selecting the option at top of this page ] EZ Heat Deluxe has a built-in manual control valve that you can convert to automatic operation with the Goldline Automatic Control. Goldline Automatic Control Package includes: Electronic Controller, 3-Way Actuator, and Pool Water and Roof Sensor. Goldline Electronic Controller Model GL-35 View detailed information • Increases system efficiency • Microprocessor based ensures total digital accuracy • Selectable high limit control • Automatically switches from heating to nocturnal cooling • Re-circulation freeze protection [field selectable] • Nocturnal cooling [field selectable] • 75°F to 104°F precision calibrated temperature control • dial with "solar off" position Goldline 3-Way Actuator Model GVA-24 View detailed information • Bi-directional design for installation flexibility • Easy installation using only a screwdriver • Comes with 15 feet of heavy-duty prewired cable Goldline Sensor Model PC-10K View detailed information • Maximizes pool water temperature • Measures temperature on the roof and pool water Controlling the System: It is important to be able to shut off the solar system with a control to prevent overheating the pool and to keep water from running through the collectors in bad weather. Pool water running through the collectors in cold or rainy weather can actually cool the pool. If you have the Goldline Automatic Control , you simply set the desired temperature on the control panel and the system does the rest. When the solar sensor finds that there is enough solar energy falling on the solar collectors to heat your pool and the pool is cooler than you desire, it automatically sends water through the solar collectors. Bright sunshine is not needed to heat your pool. The solar sensor will turn on your solar heater even on a hazy or cloudy day when it finds the right amount of solar energy. _______________________________________________________ VIEW » Detailed Product Description HELP » Contact Customer Support • Toll-Free help line offering product info and ordering support • Online e-mail technical and installation support _______________________________________________________ Delivery Information: Delivery time varies.

Pool Heaters > Solar Heaters > Aboveground > EZ Heat > Basic Harter Industries Optional EZHeat Roof/Rack Hold-Down Kit Attach Panels to Roof or Rack EZ Heat Roof or Rack Hold-Down Kit - Model: EZ1019 Product Application: To be used with EZ Heat Solar Pool Heaters Product Function: Includes the necessary clamps and adhesive to secure the system to roof, ground rack, or a sloping surface. Approximate shipping weight 11lbs EZ Heat Hold-Down Kit Installation Instructions: If you are mounting your solar system on a sloping roof or rack, follow these steps to fasten it to the surface: a. After sweeping the roof surface to remove loose particles, unroll the solar system and locate it with the inlet connection as close to the roof eve as possible. b . Attach the absorber sections to the roof with Solarbond mastic adhesive. The 29 oz. cartridges fit a quart size caulking gun [not included]. c. Starting with the top absorber section, turn it up and apply a bead of mastic, one foot from the header pipe and 18 inches apart thereafter. Turn over the mat section with the mastic against the roof and firmly press the absorber into the mastic by pressing down hard against the webs between the tubes. Important: Keep all beads in line down the roof to allow rainwater to run under the collector surface so the mastic does not form a dam. If the roof is steep and the absorber sections slide down, they may be held in place until the mastic sets, by using a staple gun. Drive 5/6” staples every 3 to 4 feet. Be careful not to puncture the tubes. Hold the nose of the staple gun against the side of the tube, pressing down against the web between the tubes. The staples do not penetrate the shingles and will rust and disappear in a few weeks. Use two of the Header Hold-Down Clamps to fasten the header pipes to the roof at each end of the solar system. Use 1-inch long, ¼-inch stainless steel or plated lag bolts to fasten the clamp assembly to the roof. Drill with a 3/16” pilot hole. If the hole penetrates the roof, fill it and the space under the clamp with a high quality silicone sealer to prevent roof leaks.

Through testing we have learned that this style of cover retains 30+/- lbs. of water when rolled up at a normal speed. The retained water weight and the cover weighs approximately 76 lbs. This is beyond the maximum design weight of 60 lbs. Covers for larger pools will require a Commercial Reel System to manage the excess weight. Rolling the cover up very slowly allows for better water drainage from the cover reducing the weight borne by the reel system. The total weight, with slow roll-up, should meet our design weight specifications. Product Manufacturer: Feherguard Note: All Rollers are non-cancelable and non-returnable. Delivery Information: Please allow 3 to 5 business days for orders to be processed, plus standard transportation delivery time.

C=Copper Sweat Connection F=Female Pipe Thread Connection Product Manufacturer: Grundfos ______________________________________________________ A complete typical solar domestic water heating system components and layout is shown below. ______________________________________________________ Notes on installation: • We strongly recommend insulating your hot water pipes as well • as the return line to avoid stand-by heat loss • 2" clearance should be kept between the hot and cold water lines • Branches off of the main hot water supply should be kept as short • as possible • Local codes may require the installation of a hot water expansion • tank for secondary pressure relief on cold water supply lines with • check valves • The pump should be installed with the motor shaft horizontal. • The return line can be installed either under the floor or in the • ceiling It is very important that there is no trapped air in the pipe. Unless you have extremely oversized the pump (which wastes a lot of energy), trapped air in the return line can damage the recirculation pump. With these Grundfos recirculating pumps, air removal can be accomplished by removing the back plug from the pump when the system is charged with water and the pump is turned off. The pump's slotted shaft is then rotated until the air no longer escapes. Then replace the back plug. To prevent air from collecting in the return line, slope all the pipes so air will flow to the high point in the return line and then put a valve there so you can release the air periodically. ______________________________________________________ HELP » Contact Customer Support • Toll-Free help line offering product info and ordering support • Online e-mail technical and installation support ______________________________________________________ Delivery Information: Please allow 2 to 10 business days for orders to be processed plus standard transportation delivery time. 230V are not stocked and may take longer.

Some of the earlier HG controls and some other lesser known brands used 3k sensors. To determine the type of sensor, the resistance must be measured in ohms (using a volt/ohm meter) when the sensor is at 77 degrees F. 10k measures 10,000 ohms and 3k measures 3,000 ohms. As the temperature goes up, the resistance goes down. Resistance can be checked at any temperature, and then convert the ohm reading measured to the temperature equivalent by using the conversion chart .

Parts & Supplies > Water Heaters > Solar Hot Water > Active Solar > Valves Eaton Ivensys/Eaton/Dole Freeze Protection Valve Model: FP45, FP35 Invensys/Eaton/Dole Freeze Protection Valve Models: FP45 and FP35 The Invensys FP Freeze Protection Valves utilize a reliable self-contained Dole Power Element which is sensitive to temperature and operates without any electrical power or sensors. Typically in solar applications, the valve port opens on descending temperatures allowing the near freezing water in the solar panel to be discharged and replaced with warmer supply water. When the warmer water reaches the valve, the port closes and water discharge stops. This cycle will repeat as often as necessary to help prevent freezing. The amount of water dispensed depends mainly on ambient air temperature, make up water temperature, the duration of the cold spell and the number and size of collectors. The system is functioning properly when water is being discharged from the valve during near freezing conditions. For water to be discharged at the time of operation, system water pressure must be maintained. Product Application: Solar Domestic Water Heating System Product Function: Protects solar collectors and exposed piping from freezing Product Features: • Easily installed on existing systems • 150 PSI maximum operating pressure • Corrosion resistant design • FDA and NSF listed materials • LA testing and IAPMO listed • Anti-siphon and alternate discharge port • Discharge port for 1/4" plastic pipe or 5/8" ID hose • 1/2" brass male pipe thread inlet port for positive seal • Tamper resistant design • Nominal start to open temperature is 43ºF • Completely mechanical operating principle • High temperature UV stabilized body material • Ideal for backup freeze protection • 1-Year Limited Factory Warranty - see warranty details below _______________________________________________________ HELP » Contact Customer Support • Toll-Free help line offering product info and ordering support • Online e-mail technical and installation support _______________________________________________________ A typical solar domestic water heating system components and layout is shown below. Freeze Protection Valve Application Considerations: 1. The Invensys "Freeze Protection Valve(s)" functions properly provided the valve is installed in a location, where during operation, the warmer supply water first passes through the collectors and/or pipe to be protected and then through the valve. The "Freeze Protection Valve(s)" should be located in a position to allow good water distribution through the solar panel so that when the valve opens, water flows as evenly as possible through all the collector tubes. Location of the valve may vary depending on the system design and piping. 2. Select a mounting position where the valve will sense the coldest anticipated ambient temperature. When used in conjunction with active systems, the valve should also be located within close proximity of the collector outlet with 2"-6" offset below the collector header (see illustration). Do not mount in a position where the valve will be exposed to an unnatural heat source (i.e. poorly insulated roof, dryer or furnace vents, etc.). 3. The system must be subjected to normal operating pressures of between 20 and 125 PSI at all times for the valve to operate properly. Do not shut off water supply to the collectors or isolate the collectors from the city water supply. 4. When the valves are required, be sure they are operating and installed in a proper location with respect to the “Freeze Protection Valve(s).” Water flow must be prevented from “bypassing” the collector. If the check valves leak, water flow may be bypassed through the check valve rather than through the collector. 5. Do not insulate the "Freeze Protection Valve(s)" or exposed pipe between the collector and the "Freeze Protection Valve(s)." Sections of exposed pipe where no water flow exists during valve operation should be heavily insulated. The valve(s) should be mounted close to the collector to minimize the length of exposed pipe. 6. Install by applying torque with a wrench to the square metal inlet flange. Do not apply torque to the plastic body. 7. For proper utilization of the anti-siphon port, the "Freeze Protection Valve(s)" should be installed in a vertical position with discharge port down. 8. To enhance customer satisfaction of this product, we recommend a plastic discharge tube be connected to the 1/4" pipe threads or the 5/8" barbs, then routed to a safe, nonobjectionable location where the discharged water will drain. 9. If a discharge tube is used, make sure it will drain freely and is installed in accordance to local codes. Avoid water traps in the discharge tube that could freeze and prevent drainage. The valve has an alternate path for discharge water flow should the discharge tube become impaired. 10. Do not attempt to disassemble the top cover. The inlet retention flange can be removed to inspect the screen for periodic cleaning and replacement. _______________________________________________________ Product Manufacturer: Invensys Appliance Controls.

Parts & Supplies > Water Heaters > Solar Hot Water > Active Solar > Valves Erie Erie Motorized Check Valve Model VT2212G13B020 Erie Motorized Check Valve Model: VT2212G13B020 The Erie motor operated valves have long been considered the industry standard in fan coil control. Erie's familiar brands are used in residential hydronic temperature control applications. PRODUCT APPLICATION: PopTop Series valve bodies and actuators provide easy installation for a variety of heating and cooling applications. Valve’s actuator can be installed after valve body has been installed onto fan coil, baseboard, plumbing or air handler. VS Series valves are available for low pressure steam applications. PRODUCT FUNCTION: Ideal for active solar systems to prevent thermosyphoning[backflow], prevents heat loss at night. A solar panel re-radiates heat on clear cold nights back into the sky. This phenomenon, known as thermosyphoning, causes the water in the solar panel to cool and fall due to the laws of physics. The hot water from the storage tank then begins to rise to displace the water in the panel. This cycle continues naturally without any mechanical input from the pump. If this process is not stopped, the temperature of the storage tank can drop dramatically overnight, sometimes resulting in a loss of 50 degrees or more. To prevent thermosyphoning, a check valve must be used in the return line from the panel back to the storage tank. A mechanical check valve [spring or swing] can be used; however, they are highly prone to corrosion from poor quality water, and can easily stick open – defeating their purpose. The best solution is to use a motorized positive seal valve. Both Erie and Honeywell Motorized Check Valves provide excellent service life with a high quality product. PRODUCT FEATURES: • Direct replacement for all existing PopTop applications. • Hysteresis synchronous motor for long life • Spring return operation provides a fail-safe • Valve body rated for 300 psi static pressure • Available in a variety of voltages [110 volt standard] • Actuator mounts directly onto valve body without need for • linkages or calibration • Manual override lever (normally closed only) • Actuator can be replaced without any tools, or removal of valve • from system • VS Series available for low pressure steam ____________________________________________________________________ Mounting The valve can be mounted in horizontal or vertical piping. When installed in horizontal piping, the actuator must be above the valve body. When installed in horizontal piping the actuator can be tilted left or right but it must not be tilted below 85° from vertical. ____________________________________________________________________ Erie Motorized Check Valve Model: VT2212G13B020 1/2" sweat connections, spring loaded normally closed, 110volts. [Other configurations can be ordered; see chart below] ____________________________________________________________________ HELP » Contact Customer Support • Toll-Free help line offering product info and ordering support • Online e-mail technical and installation support ____________________________________________________________________ PRODUCT INSTALLATION: Inspection: Inspect the package for damage. If package is damaged, notify the appropriate carrier immediately. If undamaged, open the package and inspect the device for obvious damage. Return damaged products. Requirements: • Tools (not provided) • Wrench 1 to 1-5/8" (if threaded valve) • Soldering equipment (if sweat fit) or flare • Other accessories as appropriate Precautions: • Electrical shock hazard! Disconnect power before installation to • prevent electrical shock or equipment damage. • Make all connections in accordance with the electrical wiring • diagram and in accordance with national and local electrical • codes. Use copper conductors only. • All conductors shall be provided with insulation rated for the • highest voltage motor and end switch circuits. • Avoid locations where excessive moisture, corrosive fumes, • explosive vapors, or vibration are present. • Avoid electrical noise interference. Do not install near large • conductors, electrical machinery, or welding equipment. • When making lead connections within the actuator, use caution • not to put leads or connectors below the motor. Note » • make certain there is no overhead water source that may drip • onto valve actuator. • In normal service, some condensation may occur on or around • the valve. A drip pan may be necessary or the valve body may • be insulated. Piping These valves must be piped so the paddle closes against the direction of flow. Flow is from B to A. When installing the actuator to a normally closed valve, the actuator must be placed in the manually open position by using the manual operating lever. The first time the valve is operated electrically, the manual operating lever of the actuator will transfer to the automatic position. The manual operating lever can be used to allow flushing of the system after installation. The valves are designed for application in closed hydronic heating and cooling systems. High levels of dissolved oxygen and chlorine found in open systems may attack the valve materials and result in premature failure. Install over a drip pan if condensation in chilled water applications occurs. Note » • Three-way valves always require a normally closed actuator. • Three-way valves are always closed at the B port when • no power is applied to the motor. • On power-up the valve closes to A port on three-way valves. • Orient the three-way valve body as needed for normally open or • normally closed flow through coil. Sweat Connections: Do not solder with actuator in place, or with paddle against seat, as the heat can damage the unit. Before soldering, move the manual open lever into Open position then remove the actuator from the body. Orient paddle so it is not against a seat. Use lead or tin based solder with melting point below 600 °F. Do not overheat. Direct flame tip away from valve. Cool valve quickly with a wet cloth. Body assembly can be submerged for leak testing prior to attaching the actuator. CHECK OUT: • Make sure the valve stem rotates freely before and after • installing the actuator. • If the stem does not operate freely it may indicate that the stem • was damaged and may require that the valve be repaired • or replaced. • After the piping is under pressure, check the valve body and • the connections for leaks. • After the valve and actuator are installed, power the actuator • and check the operation. THEORY OF OPERATION: PopTop Series are two position spring return valves. When powered, the actuator moves to the desired position, tensing the spring return system. When power is removed the actuator returns to the normal position. PopTop Series two position spring return valves can be purchased with an optional built-in auxiliary SPDT end switch for interfacing or signaling; for example, zone pump burner control. PRODUCT MAINTENANCE: PopTop Series two position spring return valves are maintenance free. Replace defective modules. Actuator may be replaced without removing the valve. Regular maintenance of the total system is recommended to assure sustained, optimum performance. FIELD REPAIR: Replace any damaged or failed components with complete replacement unit.

HELP » Installation Manual [PDF Format] Caution: Periodic inspection by a licensed contractor is recommended. Corrosive water conditions, temperatures over 210°F [99°C], unauthorized adjustments or repair could render the valve ineffective for service intended. Regular checking and cleaning of thermostat assembly helps to assure maximum life and proper product function. Frequency of cleaning depends upon local water conditions. Watts 70A Series Troubleshooting Guide Problem Cause Solution Fluctuating or erratic hot water temperature at fixture. Heavy draws of either cold or hot water elsewhere in the system, such as clothes washer or dishwasher. Unbalanced pressures. Hot water temperature control valves cannot compensate for this condition. Check valves in hot and cold legs to hot water temperature control valve would help but not cure the problem. Install balancing or throttling valves (shutoff valves) in hot and cold legs to hot water extender tempering valve and adjust accordingly for demand. Hot water backing up into cold water line. Hot water pressure overriding cold pressure. Install check valve in cold water leg to hot water temperature control valve. Cannot adjust water temperature to desired temperature. Unequal pressures. Hot or cold temperature differential. Valve undersized. A balancing or throttling valve must be installed in the cold water leg to the hot water temperature control valve to throttle or restrict the pressure. In most installations, the cold water supply line feeds both the hot water temperature control valve and the water heater or tankless heater. To compensate for the pressure drop through the heater, the cold water to the hot water temperature control valve must be throttled or reduced. Check water heater controls to verify that the water temperature is the same as the heater thermostat setting. Check gpm flow required versus gpm flow capacity of valve. High pressure drop through hot water temperature control valve. Valve undersized. Install larger hot water temperature control valve. Insufficient hot water during peak demand Valve undersized. Heater or capacity insufficient for demand. Check gpm flow required during peak demand period and size hot water temperature control valve accordingly. Frequent failure of thermostatic element. Thermostatic element exposed to extremely high temperature. Corrosive water conditions. (Buildup of mineral deposits) Electrolysis (pitting deterioration, etc.) Check heater thermostat setting. Hot water temperature control valve must be trapped at least 8" to 12" as per installation instructions. Install check valves as recommended. Frequent cleaning of thermostat element and plunger would tend to prolong the life of the element. A small coating of FDA approved silicone lubricant in the piston area of the element would also help. Electrically ground the piping system or install dielectric unions. All hot or cold water flows at hot fixture. This problem will require considerable troubleshooting met. Minimum flow requirement for 70A series valves is 2 gpm. Verify that complete installation instructions were followed: Is valve properly trapped? Check to see if thermostatic element has failed. Check to see if temperature control on water heater is set at desired temperature. Check to see if minimum flow requirements for valve size are met. Minimum flow requirements for 70A series valves is 2 gpm. WARNING Watts hot water extender tempering valves cannot used for tempering water temperature at fixtures. Severe bodily injury [i.e., scalding or chilling] and/or death may result depending upon system water pressure changes and/or supply water temperature changes. A.S.S.E. standard 1016 listed devices such as watts models L111 or MMV should used at fixtures to prevent possible injury. The WATTS hot water tempering valves are designed to be installed at or near the boiler or hot water heater. They are not designed to compensate for system pressure and/or temperature fluctuations and should not be used where devices tested to S.S.E. standard 1016 are required. These WATTS valves should never be used to provide "anti-scald" or "anti-chill" service. _______________________________________________________ Product Manufacturer: Watts Industries Inc.

Parts & Supplies > Water Heaters > Solar Hot Water > Active Solar > Pumps Ivan Labs El Sid Solar Circulating Pump Model: SID PV Series - DC Voltage El Sid Solar Circulating Pump - DC Voltage Model SID Series SID stands for static-impeller driven, which means the pump contains an electronic driver or motor that has no moving parts but simply spins on a magnetic field. The magnetic field grasps the impeller and visibly spins it without any moving parts or seals. As a result, it's extremely long-lived without much power consumption. These pumps are completely brass and stainless steel, so they don't corrode. The El SID pumps have no seals which can leak, and no bearings to get hot or brushes to spark - they are explosion proof. Product Applications: • Solar Domestic Water Heating Systems - closed loop • To be used with a solar electric module [not included] • Floor Heating Systems Product Function: This pump is used to circulate the water throughout the radiant panel or other hot water heat emitting system. Product Features: • Brass and stainless steel construction • Power source AC/DC • High efficiency - typical start 1 watt • Magnetic coupled drive • Locked impeller protected [PV] • No shaft - no fan • Brushless • No maintenance required • Quiet operation LED Signals Four red LEDs will glow when the impeller is spinning. Two will light if the impeller is stuck, one above and one below. Product Specifications: • Light weight - 2 lbs • Compact size: 2.75" sq - 3" thick • Low voltage [class II] driver • High temperature - 250°F fluid max. • High pressure - 175 psi. max • Vertical or horizontal piping All 2W2 drivers look alike. [Two Wire, 2nd Version] All 2W2 drivers are Static Impeller Drivers™. SID™ Shown is 1/2" female NPT adapters and 1/2" pipe. Also shown are the heads of four Philips screws that fasten the 2W2 driver onto the head. Wetted materials are: • Food Grade Stainless Steel • Cast Bronze • Teflon • Hi-Temp ROYTON Plastic • Ceramic Ferrite Magnet Four common screw heads are shown, holding the stainless steel fluid retaining plate in place. Also shown are four screws coming from the back of the pump head. When the 2W2 driver is in place, a total of eight screws squeeze the fluid retaining plate in place. Note that there is no shaft and [of course] no shaft-seal. The crown at the center of the retaining plate houses an eight pole ceramic magnet. Thus, the rotating magnetic field in the 2W2 driver is coupled to the impeller, which resides in the fluid. Easy to install The brass pump is soldered into your copper plumbing, and the driver screws on top of it. Any driver [regardless of size] can be interchanged on the same pump, which means that if the pump doesn't provide the flow you need, you can install a larger driver within a couple of minutes. PV MODELS: • Model SID3.5 A 3.5-watt driver, intended for PV domestic hot water and instant hot water circulation without glycol. Requires a 5 watt Amorphous/CIS module or larger such as Shell ST5. It is rated for 2.0gpm and can be used in open loop water systems with one 4x10 solar collector. • Model SID5 A 5-Watt driver, intended for PV domestic hot water and 24 hour instant hot water circulation. Requires a 5 watt Crystalline module or larger such as BP SX5M. It is rated for 2.5gpm and can be used in open loop water systems with one 4x10 solar collector. • Model SID10 A 10-Watt driver used for domestic solar hot water and 24 hour instant hot water in large homes. Requires a 10watt Crystalline module or larger such as BP SX10M. It is rated for 3.3gpm and can be used in open loop water systems with up to three 4x10 solar collectors or in closed loop antifreeze systems with up to two 4x10 solar collectors. • Model SID20 Requires a 30 watt Crystalline module or larger. It is rated for 6.0gpm and can be used in larger systems [call for details]. Product Manufacturer : Ivan labs, Inc. See specifications for "B" Models [battery operated] shown above Product Warranty: View » El-SID Warranty Information [Pdf Format] _____________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ Frequently Asked Questions: What is the difference between the B [battery] and PV [photovoltaic] versions? There are specific models that can be operated directly off a PV panel or a battery, or off an independent AC power supply. If you're going to use an AC power supply: • 14-17 volts; use a PV model • 12 to 14 volts; you can use a B model What is the pump's power usage? 3.5 or 5 or 20 watts at 12 V, and 10 watts at 12 or 24 V. What is the SID pump's best use? The pumps are circulating, and are best for circulating water in a closed-loop system, such as heating or solar. As for anything else, their use is as unlimited as your imagination. Keep in mind they'll pump water, as well as antifreeze and various other chemicals. Here are just a couple of ideas: • You can power them with a small RV deep-cycle 12-volt battery. Keep a trickle charger on the battery so that if the power goes out your pump will keep on running. • For solar system loops, the SID can be powered directly from a PV panel. The sun comes up, heat builds in the solar hot water panel and at the same time electricity is made in the PV panel. The pump slowly starts with the smallest amount of current and pushes the heated water to the storage tank. It's all too simple and eliminates all controllers, thermostats and sensors. What is the most common size? The SID10, because it's been around the longest. It's a good average size for radiant floor heat and domestic hot water solar. What would the 3.5 and % watt models be used for? Smaller systems, anything that needs less lift. Why are SID pumps more expensive? They're actually fairly inexpensive compared with other cheaper and shorter-lived pumps. They have, for instance, no brushes to change, and no moving or rubbing parts. _______________________________________________________ HELP » Contact Customer Support • Toll-Free help line offering product info and ordering support • Online e-mail technical and installation support _______________________________________________________ Delivery Information: Please allow 3-10 days for delivery http://shop.solardirect.com/product_info.php?products_id=167 http://shop.solardirect.com/images/p_elsid.gif 167 11 0.00 207.00

Standard, Deluxe, or Premium System Complete Kits offer an inclusive parts list that incorporates the plumbing and manual control components necessary for a hassle-free installation. Detailed description of kit variations and differing functions: Standard/Direct Kit – ProgressiveTube system uses a stand-alone configuration as the single source for providing hot water. Function : When hot water is required, solar heated water is drawn from the collector unit and distributed directly to the points-of-use. Applications : Best suited for use in equatorial and tropical type climates where hot-to-very-hot temperatures exist year round [such as the Caribbean, Central Africa, northern South American] and conventional water heaters are rarely used, or electrical power is unavailable - but free hot water is desired or required. Performance : Hot water output is dependant on available solar radiation, and may be temporarily interrupted by inclement weather. Control Valve : No control valve is necessary. Deluxe/2-Way Kit – ProgressiveTube system used in conjunction with a conventional water heater, or an instantaneous water heater. Function : When hot water is required, solar heated water is drawn from the unit directly into a conventional or tankless water heater, thus eliminating or reducing electricity or gas usage required for heating water. Hot water is then distributed directly to the points- of-use. The water heater must remain turned on to provide backup heat as required, and to maintain a ready supply of hot water. Applications : Well suited for use in tropical, sub-tropical "SunBelt", and temperate type climates where mild-to-hot temperatures exist year round and conventional water heaters are always used - and free hot water is desired or required. Performance : Hot water output is dependant on available solar radiation. Backup provides constant supply when solar performance is temporarily interrupted by inclement weather. Control Valve : A manual 2-Way plumbing configuration allows for isolation of the ProgressivTube system for maintenance or winterizing, and is typically adjusted on a seasonal basis only. Premium/3-Way Kit – ProgressiveTube system used in conjunction with a conventional water heater, or an instantaneous water heater. Function : When hot water is required, solar heated water is drawn from the unit directly into a conventional or tankless water heater, thus eliminating or reducing electricity or gas usage required for heating water. Hot water is then distributed directly to the points- of-use. The water heater must remain turned on only when in the backup mode to provide heat as required, and to maintain a ready supply of hot water. Applications : Well suited for use in tropical, sub-tropical "SunBelt", and temperate type climates where mild-to-hot temperatures exist year round and conventional water heaters are always used - and free hot water is desired or required. It allows the selection of direct solar or solar with backup heater. Performance : Hot water output is dependant on available solar radiation. Backup provides constant supply when solar performance is temporarily interrupted by inclement weather. Control Valve : A manual 3-Way plumbing configuration allows direct operation during periods when there is sufficient solar energy and no backup is required, and is typically adjusted when sporadic inclement weather conditions reduce solar effectiveness. This maximizes overall operating efficiency and eliminates standby heat loss from the backup heater. The valves also allow for isolation of the ProgressivTube for maintenance or winterizing. Single Collector Panel – does not include any plumbing or control components [purchased separately in the Parts & Supplies section]. It is intended for: • add-on collector panels to Standard, Deluxe, or Premium System • Kits when additional panels are desired to increase capacity • large commercial projects requiring multiple collector panels • replacement change-out of damaged or obsolete collector panels • custom applications requiring only the use of collector panels Cold Climate Applications: Although ProgressivTube is ideally suited for equatorial, tropical, sub-tropical, and temperate applications, all ProgressivTube kits can also be installed in colder climates as a "Three Season" system. During the summer, and even in the early spring and late fall seasons, a ProgressivTube system continues to provide total, or a substantial portion, of hot water requirements. Simply drain the system during winter months when freeze proofing is required, and low sun levels do not allow for efficient operation. _______________________________________________________ System Selection » Unit Sizing Chart Kit Contents – Standard/Direct Complete System includes: • ProgressivTube Solar Collector Unit • Mounting Hardware Kit – choose from flush, fixed, or tilt • Roof Flashing Kit - copper fittings and flashings for pipe-through- • roof plumbing penetrations • DirectFlo Plumbing Kit – copper fittings, AquaMix anti-scald mixing • valve, vacuum breaker valve, pressure relief valve, 2 boiler drain • valves Optional: • 50-100 feet 3/4" flexible copper pipe, and 48ft of pipe insulation • Freeze protection valve available for colder climates Mounting Selection: Flush Mount - underside of unit attaches directly to the mounting surface. For tile roof applications where the tile roofing is installed around the unit, or use with angled rack mounts. Fixed Mount - aluminum frame supports unit slightly above mounting surface. For shingle or tile roof applications where a space is desired between the mounting surface and the unit to allow for air flow and rain runoff. Tilt Mount - aluminum frame supports unit slightly above mounting surface, plus tilts collector to desired angle for increased solar performance. Can also be used for ground mounts applications [cement pad or footings required]. _______________________________________________________ ProgressivTube is made by Thermal Conversion Technologies, America’s oldest manufacturer of solar heating systems, and the leader in integrated solar energy solutions since 1985. Their unique passive design offers lower initial costs, simplified installations, and excellent savings potential over the 25 year + design life. ProgressivTube Advanced Features: The ProgressivTube passive solar heater is a self-contained unit that acts as a solar collector and storage tank integrated into one unit. In a typical installation, most ProgressivTube systems utilize the panel unit as a pre-heater to a conventional or instantaneous water heater. ProgressivTube systems can also be used as a stand-alone heater when no backup is required. • Unique Attributes – ProgressivTube is rated as a passive system because it has no moving parts - and operates using the local water pressure and solar radiation. There are no pumps or controls to maintain and no electrical energy is required to make it function. ProgressivTube systems circulate the heat cost free on the basic principle of physics - hot water rises and cold water falls. The highly effective collector/storage tank of the ProgressivTube absorbs solar radiation through its high tech surface coating - which rapidly and dramatically raises the temperature of the water stored in the collector. • Superior Technology – ProgressivTube collectors are highly insulated with special closed cell foam, and the unit is double glazed for maximized heat retention. Eight copper tubes are welded into a "series" flow pattern - so that the top of the lower tube feeds the bottom of the next tube. This allows the ProgressivTube to contain the colder replacement water in the lower tubes where it is heated by the sun as it flows from one tube to the next. • Innovation – Each time hot water is used, the ProgressivTube's innovative ICS design [Integrated Collector Storage] eliminates the cooling down of the remaining heated water that normally occurs in other types of batch heaters. Not only does this design ensure the delivery of the hottest water, but it also provides more hot water, at a higher temperature, and with a faster recovery time, than other brands with similar capacity. ProgressivTube Highlights: • Glazing Gaskets – A continuous gasket made of special long life EDPM synthetic rubber is compressed by the glazing caps to seal out the weather. The inner glazing spline is made of high - temperature tolerant EPDM. • Glazing – Outer glazing is a tempered low-iron solar glass with 91% transmittance. Inner glazing is Teflon film, known for its high temperature tolerance [525°F] and its long term durability and stability, with 96% transmittance. The 3/4" air space between glazings reduces heat loss. • Fluid Connection – Inlet and outlet connections are made of 3/4" diameter Type L hard copper pipes. This allows for fast, leak-free "sweat fit" soldering of plumbing connections. • Absorber / Storage Tank – Constructed entirely of copper, the 4" diameter tubes are welded to the interconnecting pipes to form a "series" flow pattern. Each tank is pressure rated to 300 psi and is coated with a high-temperature selective solar radiation absorption surface that maximizes heat gain and reduces heat loss. • Insulation – Rigid closed cell polyisocyanurate foam board, the most efficient available, is used to maximize heat retention. Sides and ends of the unit have 1.5" board, R-value 10; bottom has 2" board, R-value 14; between tubes have 1.5" board, R-value 10. • Collector Case – The baked-on bronze acrylic finish of the [hard temper T6] extruded aluminum frame wall, and glazing caps [alloy 6061], assures years of attractive rust-free appearance. All rivets and bolts are aluminum or stainless steel. Aluminum .025" back. _______________________________________________________ Installation: An average skilled handy person can easily manage a new installation, a custom installation, or a basic replacement panel change-out using the SINGLE PANEL Kit w/Panel Mounting Kit. The Standard, Deluxe or Premium Complete Kit models are designed specifically to accommodate the average do-it-yourselfer, and are highly recommended for most residential installations. Complete Kit models offer a inclusive parts list that incorporates the plumbing and manual control components necessary for a hassle-free installation. Plus Deluxe and Premium kits allow easy connection to most major water heater manufacturers: GE, Rheem, State, etc. IMPORTANT Installation Note: The best time to install a solar heater is when a home is being built. The homeowner will immediately be in a positive cash flow position because the utility savings are far greater than the mortgage payment increment for the solar water heater.

Detailed description of kit variations and differing functions: Standard/Direct Kit – ProgressiveTube system uses a stand-alone configuration as the single source for providing hot water. Function : When hot water is required, solar heated water is drawn from the collector unit and distributed directly to the points-of-use. Applications : Best suited for use in equatorial and tropical type climates where hot-to-very-hot temperatures exist year round [such as the Caribbean, Central Africa, northern South American] and conventional water heaters are rarely used, or electrical power is unavailable - but free hot water is desired or required. Performance : Hot water output is dependant on available solar radiation, and may be temporarily interrupted by inclement weather. Control Valve : No control valve is necessary. Deluxe/2-Way Kit – ProgressiveTube system used in conjunction with a conventional water heater, or an instantaneous water heater. Function : When hot water is required, solar heated water is drawn from the unit directly into a conventional or tankless water heater, thus eliminating or reducing electricity or gas usage required for heating water. Hot water is then distributed directly to the points- of-use. The water heater must remain turned on to provide backup heat as required, and to maintain a ready supply of hot water. Applications : Well suited for use in tropical, sub-tropical "SunBelt", and temperate type climates where mild-to-hot temperatures exist year round and conventional water heaters are always used - and free hot water is desired or required. Performance : Hot water output is dependant on available solar radiation. Backup provides constant supply when solar performance is temporarily interrupted by inclement weather. Control Valve : A manual 2-Way plumbing configuration allows for isolation of the ProgressivTube system for maintenance or winterizing, and is typically adjusted on a seasonal basis only. Premium/3-Way Kit – ProgressiveTube system used in conjunction with a conventional water heater, or an instantaneous water heater. Function : When hot water is required, solar heated water is drawn from the unit directly into a conventional or tankless water heater, thus eliminating or reducing electricity or gas usage required for heating water. Hot water is then distributed directly to the points- of-use. The water heater must remain turned on only when in the backup mode to provide heat as required, and to maintain a ready supply of hot water. Applications : Well suited for use in tropical, sub-tropical "SunBelt", and temperate type climates where mild-to-hot temperatures exist year round and conventional water heaters are always used - and free hot water is desired or required. It allows the selection of direct solar or solar with backup heater. Performance : Hot water output is dependant on available solar radiation. Backup provides constant supply when solar performance is temporarily interrupted by inclement weather. Control Valve : A manual 3-Way plumbing configuration allows direct operation during periods when there is sufficient solar energy and no backup is required, and is typically adjusted when sporadic inclement weather conditions reduce solar effectiveness. This maximizes overall operating efficiency and eliminates standby heat loss from the backup heater. The valves also allow for isolation of the ProgressivTube for maintenance or winterizing. Single Collector Panel – does not include any plumbing or control components [purchased separately in the Parts & Supplies section]. It is intended for: • add-on collector panels to Standard, Deluxe, or Premium System • Kits when additional panels are desired to increase capacity • large commercial projects requiring multiple collector panels • replacement change-out of damaged or obsolete collector panels • custom applications requiring only the use of collector panels Cold Climate Applications: Although ProgressivTube is ideally suited for equatorial, tropical, sub-tropical, and temperate applications, all ProgressivTube kits can also be installed in colder climates as a "Three Season" system. During the summer, and even in the early spring and late fall seasons, a ProgressivTube system continues to provide total, or a substantial portion, of hot water requirements. Simply drain the system during winter months when freeze proofing is required, and low sun levels do not allow for efficient operation. _______________________________________________________ System Selection » Unit Sizing Chart Kit Contents – Single Collector Panel w/Panel Mounting Kit includes: • ProgressivTube Solar Collector Unit • Mounting Hardware Kit - choose from flush, fixed, or tilt Mounting Selection: Flush Mount - underside of unit attaches directly to the mounting surface. For tile roof applications where the tile roofing is installed around the unit, or use with angled rack mounts. Fixed Mount - aluminum frame supports unit slightly above mounting surface. For shingle or tile roof applications where a space is desired between the mounting surface and the unit to allow for air flow and rain runoff. Tilt Mount - aluminum frame supports unit slightly above mounting surface, plus tilts collector to desired angle for increased solar performance. Can also be used for ground mounts applications [cement pad or footings required]. _______________________________________________________ ProgressivTube is made by Thermal Conversion Technologies, America’s oldest manufacturer of solar heating systems, and the leader in integrated solar energy solutions since 1985. Their unique passive design offers lower initial costs, simplified installations, and excellent savings potential over the 25 year + design life. ProgressivTube Advanced Features: The ProgressivTube passive solar heater is a self-contained unit that acts as a solar collector and storage tank integrated into one unit. In a typical installation, most ProgressivTube systems utilize the panel unit as a pre-heater to a conventional or instantaneous water heater. ProgressivTube systems can also be used as a stand-alone heater when no backup is required. • Unique Attributes – ProgressivTube is rated as a passive system because it has no moving parts - and operates using the local water pressure and solar radiation. There are no pumps or controls to maintain and no electrical energy is required to make it function. ProgressivTube systems circulate the heat cost free on the basic principle of physics - hot water rises and cold water falls. The highly effective collector/storage tank of the ProgressivTube absorbs solar radiation through its high tech surface coating - which rapidly and dramatically raises the temperature of the water stored in the collector. • Superior Technology – ProgressivTube collectors are highly insulated with special closed cell foam, and the unit is double glazed for maximized heat retention. Eight copper tubes are welded into a "series" flow pattern - so that the top of the lower tube feeds the bottom of the next tube. This allows the ProgressivTube to contain the colder replacement water in the lower tubes where it is heated by the sun as it flows from one tube to the next. • Innovation – Each time hot water is used, the ProgressivTube's innovative ICS design [Integrated Collector Storage] eliminates the cooling down of the remaining heated water that normally occurs in other types of batch heaters. Not only does this design ensure the delivery of the hottest water, but it also provides more hot water, at a higher temperature, and with a faster recovery time, than other brands with similar capacity. ProgressivTube Highlights: • Glazing Gaskets – A continuous gasket made of special long life EDPM synthetic rubber is compressed by the glazing caps to seal out the weather. The inner glazing spline is made of high - temperature tolerant EPDM. • Glazing – Outer glazing is a tempered low-iron solar glass with 91% transmittance. Inner glazing is Teflon film, known for its high temperature tolerance [525°F] and its long term durability and stability, with 96% transmittance. The 3/4" air space between glazings reduces heat loss. • Fluid Connection – Inlet and outlet connections are made of 3/4" diameter Type L hard copper pipes. This allows for fast, leak-free "sweat fit" soldering of plumbing connections. • Absorber / Storage Tank – Constructed entirely of copper, the 4" diameter tubes are welded to the interconnecting pipes to form a "series" flow pattern. Each tank is pressure rated to 300 psi and is coated with a high-temperature selective solar radiation absorption surface that maximizes heat gain and reduces heat loss. • Insulation – Rigid closed cell polyisocyanurate foam board, the most efficient available, is used to maximize heat retention. Sides and ends of the unit have 1.5" board, R-value 10; bottom has 2" board, R-value 14; between tubes have 1.5" board, R-value 10. • Collector Case – The baked-on bronze acrylic finish of the [hard temper T6] extruded aluminum frame wall, and glazing caps [alloy 6061], assures years of attractive rust-free appearance. All rivets and bolts are aluminum or stainless steel. Aluminum .025" back. _______________________________________________________ Installation: An average skilled handy person can easily manage a new installation, a custom installation, or a basic replacement panel change-out using the SINGLE PANEL Kit w/Panel Mounting Kit.

Active systems use electric pumps, valves and controllers to circulate the heat-transfer fluid through the collectors. Performance Performance varies depending on the type and size of the system, the amount of sun available at the site, proper installation, and the tilt angle and orientation of the collectors. We can perform a solar site analysis for you or show you how to do your own to ensure you select the best system to meet your needs. Sizing Your System Proper sizing and selection of your system will insure years of trouble-free hot water service to your home. A good rule of thumb for sizing your system consists of two parts; Collector size and Solar storage . Collector size: Collector size is calculated at about 20 ft² of collector area for each of the first two family members and 8 ft² for each additional family member. Solar Storage: Solar Storage, or tank size, is calculated at a ratio of at least 2 gallons of storage capacity to 1 ft² of collector area. The models below are designed for tropical or southern climates where freeze seldom occurs. Recommended for region A on map.

They are designed to maximize the capture of solar energy in the temperature ranges required for domestic hot water. Flat plate collectors accomplish this by employing the green house effect. The glass covering permits up to 90% of the visible sunlight to enter the collector. When the light passes through the glass its frequency is changed slightly to a lower energy level. When the light strikes the absorbing surface of the flat plate inside, the light is absorbed as heat. The combination of the glass frequency change and the solar absorbing surface of the plate capture the maximum amount of energy. As the absorber plate heats up it begins to radiate energy as infrared (IR) or heat radiation. Glass is essentially opaque to IR wavelengths so the heat is trapped increasing the temperature. Note: Sun Earth panels may be substitued with AET or Chromagen brands with similar specifications based on stock availability. If a specific brand is desired; you must specify with the order. Tank System Assembly: System comes pre plumbed and wired as a complete assembly. This is called the Tank System Assembly or TSA. The TSA contains the water heater tank, pump controller, tank sensor, drain valve, system drain valve and the wiring and piping to make all connections. The TSA, the collectors and the interconnect piping make up the complete system. • Pump: The system is equipped with a single TACO 006BC4 circulator pump. It uses 115V regular AC power which is supplied from the controller. When heat is available in the collector the pump is energized to lift the heat transfer fluid (distilled water) through the interconnect piping to the collectors where it gains heat. • Controller: The controller is powered by 115V house current and is the device that determines if solar energy is available. The controller, through the sensors, constantly measures the temperature of the water heater tank and the collector, comparing them to see if the collector is hotter then the tank. • Sensors: The system contains 2 sensors, one at the outlet of the collector and one on the bottom of the water heater tank. The controller uses these 2 sensors to measure tank and collector temperatures. They are simple thermistor (thermal resistors) type sensors that have an inverse reaction to temperature. As the temperature goes, up the resistance goes down. The controller is calibrated to read this as temperature changes. As the collector heats up the resistance goes down and at the right point the controller turns on the pump. The reverse happens when the collector cools off. • Water Heater Tank: This is a standard glass lined steel tank that is constructed just like any other water heater. • Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve: This device is inserted into the water heater tank for safety. It is located on top of the tank. The T&P relief valve is preset to open and discharge if either a high pressure or high temperature situation occurs in the water heater. All water heaters regardless of whether they are solar power or not, must have this safety device which is required by national building codes. • Isolation Valve: Also called “Shut Off Valve”, this valve is installed in the cold water service line to the water heater. It is used to isolate the system for maintenance, repairs and service. _____________________________________________________ Individual Component Kits [Included with Complete Solar Water Heater System Kits or may be purchased separately ] Collector Flat SunEarth 4 X 10 Solar Collector Flat SunEarth 4 x 8 Solar Collector Mounting Hardware Fixed/Horizontal mounting hardware 4ft.

Detailed description of kit variations and differing functions: Standard/Direct Kit – ProgressiveTube system uses a stand-alone configuration as the single source for providing hot water. Function : When hot water is required, solar heated water is drawn from the collector unit and distributed directly to the points-of-use. Applications : Best suited for use in equatorial and tropical type climates where hot-to-very-hot temperatures exist year round [such as the Caribbean, Central Africa, northern South American] and conventional water heaters are rarely used, or electrical power is unavailable - but free hot water is desired or required. Performance : Hot water output is dependant on available solar radiation, and may be temporarily interrupted by inclement weather. Control Valve : No control valve is necessary. Deluxe/2-Way Kit – ProgressiveTube system used in conjunction with a conventional water heater, or an instantaneous water heater. Function : When hot water is required, solar heated water is drawn from the unit directly into a conventional or tankless water heater, thus eliminating or reducing electricity or gas usage required for heating water. Hot water is then distributed directly to the points- of-use. The water heater must remain turned on to provide backup heat as required, and to maintain a ready supply of hot water. Applications : Well suited for use in tropical, sub-tropical "SunBelt", and temperate type climates where mild-to-hot temperatures exist year round and conventional water heaters are always used - and free hot water is desired or required. Performance : Hot water output is dependant on available solar radiation. Backup provides constant supply when solar performance is temporarily interrupted by inclement weather. Control Valve : A manual 2-Way plumbing configuration allows for isolation of the ProgressivTube system for maintenance or winterizing, and is typically adjusted on a seasonal basis only. Premium/3-Way Kit – ProgressiveTube system used in conjunction with a conventional water heater, or an instantaneous water heater. Function : When hot water is required, solar heated water is drawn from the unit directly into a conventional or tankless water heater, thus eliminating or reducing electricity or gas usage required for heating water. Hot water is then distributed directly to the points- of-use. The water heater must remain turned on only when in the backup mode to provide heat as required, and to maintain a ready supply of hot water. Applications : Well suited for use in tropical, sub-tropical "SunBelt", and temperate type climates where mild-to-hot temperatures exist year round and conventional water heaters are always used - and free hot water is desired or required. It allows the selection of direct solar or solar with backup heater. Performance : Hot water output is dependant on available solar radiation. Backup provides constant supply when solar performance is temporarily interrupted by inclement weather. Control Valve : A manual 3-Way plumbing configuration allows direct operation during periods when there is sufficient solar energy and no backup is required, and is typically adjusted when sporadic inclement weather conditions reduce solar effectiveness. This maximizes overall operating efficiency and eliminates standby heat loss from the backup heater. The valves also allow for isolation of the ProgressivTube for maintenance or winterizing. Single Collector Panel – does not include any plumbing or control components [purchased separately in the Parts & Supplies section]. It is intended for: • add-on collector panels to Standard, Deluxe, or Premium System • Kits when additional panels are desired to increase capacity • large commercial projects requiring multiple collector panels • replacement change-out of damaged or obsolete collector panels • custom applications requiring only the use of collector panels Cold Climate Applications: Although ProgressivTube is ideally suited for equatorial, tropical, sub-tropical, and temperate applications, all ProgressivTube kits can also be installed in colder climates as a "Three Season" system. During the summer, and even in the early spring and late fall seasons, a ProgressivTube system continues to provide total, or a substantial portion, of hot water requirements. Simply drain the system during winter months when freeze proofing is required, and low sun levels do not allow for efficient operation. _______________________________________________________ System Selection » Unit Sizing Chart Kit Contents – Complete System includes: • ProgressivTube Solar Collector Unit • Mounting Hardware Kit - choose from flush, fixed, or tilt • Roof Flashing Kit - copper fittings and flashings for pipe-through- • roof plumbing penetrations • TwoWayFlo Plumbing Kit - copper fittings, AquaMix anti-scald mixing • valve, vacuum breaker valve, pressure relief valve, 2 boiler drain • valves, 2-Way Configuration of 1 2-way ball valve and 1 3-way valve • Tankless backup water heater - electric, or natural/propane gas Optional: • 50-100 feet 3/4" flexible copper pipe, and 48ft of pipe insulation • Freeze protection valve available for colder climates Mounting Selection: Flush Mount - underside of unit attaches directly to the mounting surface.

For shingle or tile roof applications where a space is desired between the mounting surface and the unit to allow for air flow and rain runoff. Tilt Mount - aluminum frame supports unit slightly above mounting surface, plus tilts collector to desired angle for increased solar performance. Can also be used for ground mounts applications [cement pad or footings required]. _______________________________________________________ ProgressivTube is made by Thermal Conversion Technologies, America’s oldest manufacturer of solar heating systems, and the leader in integrated solar energy solutions since 1985. Their unique passive design offers lower initial costs, simplified installations, and excellent savings potential over the 25 year + design life. ProgressivTube Advanced Features: The ProgressivTube passive solar heater is a self-contained unit that acts as a solar collector and storage tank integrated into one unit. In a typical installation, most ProgressivTube systems utilize the panel unit as a pre-heater to a conventional or instantaneous water heater. ProgressivTube systems can also be used as a stand-alone heater when no backup is required. • Unique Attributes – ProgressivTube is rated as a passive system because it has no moving parts - and operates using the local water pressure and solar radiation. There are no pumps or controls to maintain and no electrical energy is required to make it function. ProgressivTube systems circulate the heat cost free on the basic principle of physics - hot water rises and cold water falls. The highly effective collector/storage tank of the ProgressivTube absorbs solar radiation through its high tech surface coating - which rapidly and dramatically raises the temperature of the water stored in the collector. • Superior Technology – ProgressivTube collectors are highly insulated with special closed cell foam, and the unit is double glazed for maximized heat retention. Eight copper tubes are welded into a "series" flow pattern - so that the top of the lower tube feeds the bottom of the next tube. This allows the ProgressivTube to contain the colder replacement water in the lower tubes where it is heated by the sun as it flows from one tube to the next. • Innovation – Each time hot water is used, the ProgressivTube's innovative ICS design [Integrated Collector Storage] eliminates the cooling down of the remaining heated water that normally occurs in other types of batch heaters. Not only does this design ensure the delivery of the hottest water, but it also provides more hot water, at a higher temperature, and with a faster recovery time, than other brands with similar capacity. ProgressivTube Highlights: • Glazing Gaskets – A continuous gasket made of special long life EDPM synthetic rubber is compressed by the glazing caps to seal out the weather. The inner glazing spline is made of high - temperature tolerant EPDM. • Glazing – Outer glazing is a tempered low-iron solar glass with 91% transmittance. Inner glazing is Teflon film, known for its high temperature tolerance [525°F] and its long term durability and stability, with 96% transmittance. The 3/4" air space between glazings reduces heat loss. • Fluid Connection – Inlet and outlet connections are made of 3/4" diameter Type L hard copper pipes. This allows for fast, leak-free "sweat fit" soldering of plumbing connections. • Absorber / Storage Tank – Constructed entirely of copper, the 4" diameter tubes are welded to the interconnecting pipes to form a "series" flow pattern. Each tank is pressure rated to 300 psi and is coated with a high-temperature selective solar radiation absorption surface that maximizes heat gain and reduces heat loss. • Insulation – Rigid closed cell polyisocyanurate foam board, the most efficient available, is used to maximize heat retention. Sides and ends of the unit have 1.5" board, R-value 10; bottom has 2" board, R-value 14; between tubes have 1.5" board, R-value 10. • Collector Case – The baked-on bronze acrylic finish of the [hard temper T6] extruded aluminum frame wall, and glazing caps [alloy 6061], assures years of attractive rust-free appearance. All rivets and bolts are aluminum or stainless steel. Aluminum .025" back. _______________________________________________________ Installation: An average skilled handy person can easily manage a new installation, a custom installation, or a basic replacement panel change-out using the SINGLE PANEL Kit w/Panel Mounting Kit. The Standard, Deluxe or Premium Complete Kit models are designed specifically to accommodate the average do-it-yourselfer, and are highly recommended for most residential installations. Complete Kit models offer a inclusive parts list that incorporates the plumbing and manual control components necessary for a hassle-free installation. Plus Deluxe and Premium kits allow easy connection to most major water heater manufacturers: GE, Rheem, State, etc. IMPORTANT Installation Note: The best time to install a solar heater is when a home is being built.

Their unique passive design offers lower initial costs, simplified installations, and excellent savings potential over the 25 year + design life. ProgressivTube Advanced Features: The ProgressivTube passive solar heater is a self-contained unit that acts as a solar collector and storage tank integrated into one unit. In a typical installation, most ProgressivTube systems utilize the panel unit as a pre-heater to a conventional or instantaneous water heater. ProgressivTube systems can also be used as a stand-alone heater when no backup is required. • Unique Attributes – ProgressivTube is rated as a passive system because it has no moving parts - and operates using the local water pressure and solar radiation. There are no pumps or controls to maintain and no electrical energy is required to make it function. ProgressivTube systems circulate the heat cost free on the basic principle of physics - hot water rises and cold water falls. The highly effective collector/storage tank of the ProgressivTube absorbs solar radiation through its high tech surface coating - which rapidly and dramatically raises the temperature of the water stored in the collector. • Superior Technology – ProgressivTube collectors are highly insulated with special closed cell foam, and the unit is double glazed for maximized heat retention. Eight copper tubes are welded into a "series" flow pattern - so that the top of the lower tube feeds the bottom of the next tube. This allows the ProgressivTube to contain the colder replacement water in the lower tubes where it is heated by the sun as it flows from one tube to the next. • Innovation – Each time hot water is used, the ProgressivTube's innovative ICS design [Integrated Collector Storage] eliminates the cooling down of the remaining heated water that normally occurs in other types of batch heaters. Not only does this design ensure the delivery of the hottest water, but it also provides more hot water, at a higher temperature, and with a faster recovery time, than other brands with similar capacity. ProgressivTube Highlights: • Glazing Gaskets – A continuous gasket made of special long life EDPM synthetic rubber is compressed by the glazing caps to seal out the weather. The inner glazing spline is made of high - temperature tolerant EPDM. • Glazing – Outer glazing is a tempered low-iron solar glass with 91% transmittance. Inner glazing is Teflon film, known for its high temperature tolerance [525°F] and its long term durability and stability, with 96% transmittance. The 3/4" air space between glazings reduces heat loss. • Fluid Connection – Inlet and outlet connections are made of 3/4" diameter Type L hard copper pipes. This allows for fast, leak-free "sweat fit" soldering of plumbing connections. • Absorber / Storage Tank – Constructed entirely of copper, the 4" diameter tubes are welded to the interconnecting pipes to form a "series" flow pattern. Each tank is pressure rated to 300 psi and is coated with a high-temperature selective solar radiation absorption surface that maximizes heat gain and reduces heat loss. • Insulation – Rigid closed cell polyisocyanurate foam board, the most efficient available, is used to maximize heat retention. Sides and ends of the unit have 1.5" board, R-value 10; bottom has 2" board, R-value 14; between tubes have 1.5" board, R-value 10. • Collector Case – The baked-on bronze acrylic finish of the [hard temper T6] extruded aluminum frame wall, and glazing caps [alloy 6061], assures years of attractive rust-free appearance. All rivets and bolts are aluminum or stainless steel. Aluminum .025" back. _______________________________________________________ Installation: An average skilled handy person can easily manage a new installation, a custom installation, or a basic replacement panel change-out using the SINGLE PANEL Kit w/Panel Mounting Kit. The Standard, Deluxe or Premium Complete Kit models are designed specifically to accommodate the average do-it-yourselfer, and are highly recommended for most residential installations. Complete Kit models offer a inclusive parts list that incorporates the plumbing and manual control components necessary for a hassle-free installation. Plus Deluxe and Premium kits allow easy connection to most major water heater manufacturers: GE, Rheem, State, etc. IMPORTANT Installation Note: The best time to install a solar heater is when a home is being built.

Water Heaters > Tankless > Residential Bosch Bosch AquaStar Tankless Gas Water Heater Application: Whole-House BOSCH AquaStar Tankless Gas Water Heaters Natural or Propane The BOSCH AquaStar tankless water heaters are redefining how homeowners throughout the U.S. heat their water. These innovative water heaters provide endless hot water, save energy and save space. The 125 Series water heaters supply one major hot water outlet at a time [Example: One shower running at a time]. Delivers up to 3.5 gallons per minute. They are sized for most homes and small businesses. The revolutionary hydro-generated ignition system incorporates hydro technology into a domestic water heating appliance. How tankless water heaters work: 1. When you open a hot water tap, cold water enters the heater and triggers the heating elements or burners. Your hot water tap acts as an ignition key for the energy used to heat the hot water you need. 2. The water is heated as it flows through the heating elements or heat exchanger. As the water flow varies, the unit adjusts the heating elements or burner flame to maintain a constant temperature and maximum energy efficiency. 3. When the hot water tap is turned off, the heating system also turns off. What you save when using a tankless heater: Your water heater is the second biggest consumer of energy in your home [after home heating]. Therefore it is where you can significantly reduce the costs of your annual energy consumption. Why keep a storage tank full of hot water 24 hours a day when the average household use is less than an hour everyday? When water is heated in a tank, the inside walls will soon begin to build up mineral deposits. The scale build up on the bottom of the tank can cause it to decrease in efficiency by as much as 50% over 10 years and the subsequent corrosion of the tank's inside wall will eventually cause it to leak. _______________________________________________________ HELP » Contact Customer Support • Toll-Free help line offering product info and ordering support • Online e-mail technical and installation support _______________________________________________________ Product Features: • A ll water parts are high quality copper and plastic • U nit is constructed with stainless steel and aluminum • C asing is finished with baked epoxy • H eat exchanger is made of solid copper • B urners are made of stainless steel • U nit has a safety thermocouple and overheat shutoff protection • CSA design certified • C ompliant with ASHRAE 90.1 Manufacturer's Warranty: • 12 years on the heat exchanger when professionally installed • Proper product selection supported by customer service agent • Proper operation supported by solar engineer tech assistance • Toll-Free help line and/or online e-mail tech support Product Benefits: • Endless hot water for the home or office • Can reduce energy costs up to 50% • Never stores hot water [preventing rust and leaks] • High energy factors [cuts greenhouse gas emissions up to 50% • compared to storage tank] • Steady temperature at varying flow rates • Small, light and easy to install • Hangs on wall - saving floor space • Stores only cold water, reducing the risk of bacteria growth • Designed and built to last 20+ years • 82% efficient for life of the heater • Natural gas/propane energy factor of .69-.84 [tanks .52-.62] • Electric energy factor of .99 [tanks .80-.90] Product Applications: • Home or Office • Shower and Bathtub • Dishwasher and Washing Machine Product General Specifications: Water Inlet ½" NPT Gas Inlet Connection ½" NPT Minimum NG Line 3/4" Minimum LP Line 5/8" Dimensions 29¾"H x 18½"W x 8¾"D Recommended Min.

Water Heaters > Tankless > Residential Seisco Seisco Tankless Electric Water Heater Application: Whole-House Models: RA18, RA22, RA28 SEISCO Tankless Electric Water Heater The tankless water heater that others can only claim to be! After 14 years of research and testing, the SEISCO, whose technology has earned its developer 5 separate U.S. and many additional foreign patents, is recognized as the STANDARD for all tankless water heaters. The SEISCO tankless water heater has earned International recognition for providing the highest level of temperature control performance, reliability and safety in its operation over any tankless water heater anywhere in the world today. Application: A four-chamber model designed generally for domestic water heating in whole house and booster applications. This on-demand tankless water heater is a powerful replacement for traditional tank-type heaters and is the enabling technology for use as back-up to active renewable energy systems such as solar and geothermal water heating systems. The temperature activated control works effectively in re-circulating systems and in combination with tank-type heaters. Seisco RA-28 The RA-28 is the most popular residential model for providing a continuous supply of hot water for as long as you need it. Minimum 200 Amp Whole House Electrical Service recommended. Ideal for the whole house and some commercial* applications such as specialty restaurants, convenience stores, salons, and pet-grooming shops. Seisco RA-22 The RA-22 is a residential model providing a continuous supply of hot water for as long as you need it. Minimum 150 Amp Whole House Electrical Service recommended. Ideal for the whole house, apartment or condominium dwelling where incoming water temperature rarely drops below 55 degrees F. Excellent for split systems serving individual entities such as lavatories, shower/bath rooms and kitchens. Seisco RA-18 The RA-18 is the perfect supplement to an existing tanktype water heater that is unable to satisfy the user requirements. A minimum of 125 Amp whole-house electrical service is recommended. Ideal for the whole house, apartment or condominium dwelling, where incoming water temperature rarely drops below 65 degrees F.

Product Benefits: • Continuous and Endless Supply of Hot Water • Space Savings • Safety and Health Benefits • Smart Technology • No Maintenance • Environmental Benefits Product Features: • UL 499 Approval Listing for Water Heating Applications • Works with tubing and manifold systems • No minimum flow activation required • Built-in DSM Utility Integration option • Compatible with Home Energy Management Systems • No moving parts • Very small & compact • Light weight modular construction • No restriction to flow • Standard 3/4 inch plumbing connections • Microprocessor digital control • Power sharing & variable power control technology • Continuous venting • Heats continuously only when needed, no storage • Self-diagnostics • Redundant safety devices • High performance polymer nylon chamber material • Built-in Leak detector and alarm • Rust & corrosion resistant • 4 Chambers The same advanced microprocessor technology and thermoplastic construction are used in both 2 Chamber and 4 Chamber models, therefore, many of the parts are interchangeable. There are no moving parts or flow restricting devices used in Seisco heaters. • Flow/No Flow Detection Seisco uses a unique flow/no flow detection system utilizing temperature sensors for flow detection. In standby, the heater maintains a very subtle temperature gradient and flow is detected when there is a change in the gradient. • Microprocessor Control The advanced microprocessor control turns the power on through a set of relays and turns the power off when flow stops. The most important feature may be the patented "Power Sharing" technology which provides for evenly distributed power to the heating elements. This in turn, helps eliminate scalding potential, scaling and sediment build-up. • Control Logic The control logic allows the power level to vary which is beneficial in minimizing the use of power for periods of less demanding usage. • Quality Construction: Seisco heating chambers are modular and molded of light weight thermoplastic materials. The chamber is specifically engineered for durability in harsh water heating environments and capable of withstanding extreme temperature swings and pressure changes. Heating elements, sensors and detection devices that come in contact with the water, are machined in brass or made of copper to help resist corrosion. Standard 1 inch, flanged screw-type heating elements are utilized which are interchangeable with heating elements available at local hardware stores. • 10 Year Limited Manufacturer's Warranty * NOTE: RA models are designed for residential applications. If used in a commercial application, the factory warranty is voided; if used with 208 volt [AC] operation, the available voltage and therefore the temperature rise are derated by 25%. Commercial units are available with full factory warranty in 240V and 208V. [Call for details 800 333 9276] SAFETY FEATURES: Seisco was designed with a complete array of dependable safety features to prevent harm to the user and the heater. There are several redundant safety features as well. • Dual high temperature switches on independent circuitry in addition to the control's internal high temperature shut down. • Dual low level detectors are used to prevent dry firing of the heating elements. • A leak detector is mounted on the casing that in the event of a leak sounds an alarm to the user. • Electrical Surge Protection - Although the control board is protected against electrical surges, additional heater protection is achieved when the relays are opened during periods of standby, providing no path for the surge to reach the heating elements. • Venting System - The chamber is designed with a patented venting system that continuously vents harmful gasses and air during operation. • The microprocessor control is programmed to provide self diagnostics that significantly reduces troubleshooting and service time. In the event of a problem with the heater, the control emits a visual or optional built-in audible code. There is no maintenance required of the Seisco. However, there are clean-out plates below the heater chamber to allow removal of sand and grit that may build-up from a well water system.

For instance, the standard RA-28 model contains four 7000 watt elements for a total of 28,000 watts, or 28 kilowatts (kW) of power. The two-chamber model, RA-14, contains only two 7000 watt elements for a total power rating of 14,000 watts, or 14 kilowatts (kW). However, because of Seisco's "Power Sharing" technology, the heater may not always use the maximum available power. The power output can vary with flow rate and temperature rise. Refer to the Product Specifications Table above for the maximum power ratings of each model. Heating Output: The heating output of the Seisco is simply the total kilowatt power rating of the combined heating elements converted to BTUs using 3,413 BTU/kW. For instance, the RA-28 has a total power rating of 28 kW or a 95,564 BTU heat output rating. The four-chamber models have the higher output ratings; 61,434 BTUs for the RA-18 model, and 75,086 BTUs for the RA-22 model. The lower output two-chamber models, are; 47,782 BTUs for the RA-14, 37,543 BTUs for the RA-11, and 30,717 BTUs for the RA-9. These ratings vary with the operating voltage or service voltage to the heater. Refer to the Product Specifications Table for the BTU ratings of each model. Voltage Rating: Seisco heaters are manufactured with common 240 volt [AC] heating elements designed for optimum operation on a standard residential 240 volt [AC] electric service. Also, the Seisco will operate at 208 VAC, a typical commercial voltage, with standard 240 VAC heating elements. However, when operating the heater at 208 VAC, the power rating and the heat output rating is significantly reduced. Seisco models can be special ordered with 208 VAC heating elements to help maximize the power and heating output. Refer to the Product Specifications Table above for details on the various voltage ratings. Maximum Current Rating: Each Seisco Model has a maximum electrical current rating [or amp rating] equivalent to the sum of the heating element ratings. For example, a four-chamber model, RA-28, operating at 240 VAC has four heating elements, each with a maximum rating of 29 amps. The maximum current rating or total current rating of the RA-28 is therefore 116 amps or the sum of the four heating elements. However, because of Seisco's "Power Modulating Technology", the actual current measured during relatively low flow rates and/or low temperature rises can be less than the maximum rating of the heater during operation. Refer to the A [max] or maximum amp rating under "Electrical" in the Product Specifications Table above for each model. Temperature Rise: The temperature rise must be determined in order to help choose the appropriate Seisco heater. The rise can be determined by knowing the input water temperature and the desired output temperature of the heater. The Seisco's output temperature is typically set for about 120 degrees F at the factory. Therefore, if the input or cold water inlet temperature is 50 degrees F, then the temperature rise is the difference or 70 degrees F. If the desired output temperature is 125 degrees F, then the temperature rise would be 75 degrees F. With the temperature rise determined, the Product Specification Table above provides the associated flow rate capacity of the various Seisco models. Flow Rates: The flow rate for each model is given in the "Temperature Rise" section of the Product Specification Table above. Along with the temperature rise, the flow rate must also be determined in order to choose the appropriate Seisco heater. The flow rate is determined by the type of faucet and also, life style. Refer to the chart below for typical faucet flow rates in the home. However, if the desired life style in the home requires running multiple faucets at the same time, then the flow rates must be added together to determine the peak flow demand. The Seisco or the possibility of multiple Seiscos should be selected to match the peak flow rate. Below are typical flow rates for new residential construction. There may be exceptions with new designer type fixtures and faucets. For instance, large custom body spa showers whirl pool and Jacuzzi tubs may have faucets with flow rates ranging from 7 gpm to 14 gpm. However, a combination of multiple Seisco heaters [preferably plumbed in a parallel configuration] can be installed to match these higher flow rates. The same peak design approach would be necessary for the anticipated life style of multiple flow rates occurring at the same time. Otherwise, use the table below and match the Seisco according to the peak flow and associated temperature rise of a single tub or shower. Typical Flow Rates in Gallons per Minute [gpm] Fixture Type Lavatory Bathtub Shower Kitchen Sink Pantry Sink Laundry Sink Dish-washer Flow Rates 0.8 - 1.5 2.0 - 4.0 1.5 - 3.0 1.0 - 1.5 1.5 - 2.5 2.5 - 3.0 2.0 - 3.0 Product Descriptions and Specifications PDF Format Selection Criteria, Applications and Diagrams PDF Format In the above document you will find: Selection Criteria • Basic information needed for selecting the proper Seisco model Residential Floor Plan Diagrams • Standard One Story Home Options • Standard Two Story Home Options • One Story – Booster for Quicker Response Application Diagrams: • General Residential - Whole House • Booster Retro-fit for Existing Storage Tank • High Flow or Large Demand Configuration • Circulating System Arrangement • Space Heating – Radiant Floor or Hydronic Heating System • Space Heating – Indoor Hydro Heating or Heat Pump System • Passive Heating – Combined with Indoor Storage Tank • Solar Backup – Combined with Solar Heated Storage Tank • Geothermal Backup – Combined with De-Super Heater Electrical Guide PDF Format In the above document you will find: • Introduction to SEISCO Electrical Requirements • National Electric Code Rules – Load Calculations • Sample Residential Load Calculations • National Electric Code Rules - Branch Circuit Protection • SEISCO Electrical Wiring & Breaker Guides • Single and Three Phase Wiring Diagrams Installation Instructions A.

Pool Accessories > Liquid Covers Flexible Solutions HeatSavr™ - Case The Pool Cover Alternative For Commercial Pools or Larger Residential Pools HeatSavr™ Liquid - saves so much on your pools energy costs you'll wonder why you didn't start using it years ago! The Energy SuperMarket's most innovative product, the breakthrough concept of HeatSavr™ Liquid earns a 5 star plus rating in our Consumer Value guide! And... The Energy SuperMarket offers the lowest on-line factory direct pricing now available! Guaranteed . HeatSavr™ Liquid is an excellent and effortless alternative to conventional solar blankets. Effectively used for over 8 years by commercial pool operators to increase profitability, the unique HeatSavr™ liquid has only recently been made available in bulk form for the residential pool owner. 4-Gallon HeatSavr™ Case... the easiest, most effective way to save energy costs plus 50% over the cost-per-single-gallon!!! Each case includes four gallon containers holding 140 ounces each of the HeatSavr™ Liquid, a total of 560 oz. per case. _______________________________________________________ HELP » Contact Customer Support • Toll-Free help line offering unit sizing support • Online e-mail technical and installation support • Brand and cost-of-operation comparisons _______________________________________________________ Explanation of the HeatSavr™ Liquid's Function: HeatSavr™ performs much like a conventional solar blanket, but... eliminates the hassle of constantly removing and replacing of heavy, awkward, space consuming pool blankets. • Innovation – The patent protected HeatSavr™ is based on the combination of two technologically advanced scientific formulas; a mono-molecular film-forming liquid and evaporation inhibitors. Designed to be lighter than water, it automatically floats on top of the pool's surface and forms an invisible, microscopically thin, but dynamically resistant barrier to escaping water vapor and heat. HeatSavr™ works by significantly slowing evaporation from the surface of a swimming pool - both indoor and outdoor pools! • Evaporation Heat Loss – When the pool water is warmer than the air around it, or the air has lower than 100% humidity, the pool rapidly evaporates water into the air. Large amounts of pool water, along with its heat, are literally blowing away from outdoor pools, especially during windy periods and overnight - or being exhausted by the air conditioning system of an indoor pool. Heating pool water requires a major investment of energy and costs. And heat loss due to evaporation consumes up to 90% of the cost of keeping pool water warm enough to enjoy. HeatSavr™ Liquid significantly reduces that loss, and therefore the financial cost of keeping a pool warm - as well as dramatically lowering the humidity of indoor pool areas. It does this by forming a totally safe invisible layer only one or two molecules thick on the surface of the pool! These molecules are naturally attracted to each other, and always seek to form a perfect, microscopically thin layer that covers the entire pool surface. As a comparison, the individual HeatSavr™ molecules are 500 times smaller than the spaces found in a super high quality water filter. After a swimmer stops disturbing the water's surface, the molecules immediately reform a cohesive layer. Most importantly - when they reform into a layer, they reduce the evaporation speed of the pool by up to one half. • Energy Savings – HeatSavr™ theoretically saves up to 50% of the energy costs to heat a pool - if no one ever swam in the pool, and if the circulation pump were turned off. As this is unrealistic, a more accurate performance expectation would be achieving savings as high as 40% , with the additional bonus savings achieved through major reductions in water replacement due to evaporation loss. Most pool owners will find average energy cost reductions range between 17% and 30%. For every dollar spent on HeatSavr™, expect a minimum of two dollars in energy savings. Depending on the size of pool, HeatSavr™ can yield large cost savings! HeatSavr™ will save energy in every pool - but heat cost savings will also vary according to the hours of swimmer use per day, ventilation efficiency, and especially the type and cost of fuel used, as the cost of energy also varies from region to region. Tests have proven that energy savings range from a low of 15.5% at a high use 50 meter municipal pool, to a maximum of 40% at a low use condominium pool. • Heath and Safety Assurances – All HeatSavr™ liquid ingredients have been thoroughly tested and proven completely safe for human contact, leave no after-swim residue, and is comprised of harmless non-hazardous elements. HeatSavr™ has been in use for over 8 years, and maintains a proven track record in commercial use. HeatSavr™ is filter friendly, does not affect the chemical balance [PH, chlorine, alkalinity, etc.] of the water and will not damage vinyl liners or any other pool surfaces, plus it is absolutely harmless to skin or eye contact, even in infants. HeatSavr™ is totally organic and biodegrade, and after its time-span of effectiveness is achieved, it quickly breaks down into harmless byproducts. Best of all... Swimmers in the pool will not even know HeatSavr™ is in use! _______________________________________________________ READ » Effectiveness Test Results • Savings from some Heatsavr current users • Evaporation Case Study READ » Safety Tests and Data • NSF Evaluation of Heatsavr Toxicology • Hyatt Island, California Toxicology Report • Material Safety Data INFO » Energy Cost Savings and ROI • Download ROI [Return on Investement] • to calculate how much you can save! _______________________________________________________ Commercial Use by Professional Pool Operators: Pool managers purchase HeatSavr™ in bulk for a variety of reasons. Significant savings on their energy bills is the single biggest factor! HeatSavr™'s ease of use without loss of energy savings is also very attractive to professional operators. Those who are already using a pool blanket find that, while there are energy savings, there are also inconveniences, and that their staff are not motivated to use the blankets correctly and consistently. The professionals who operate indoor pools are most interested in reducing the humidity levels in their pool rooms, and don't mind receiving the energy savings as a bonus. Note: The pure liquid form of HeatSavr™ is available in bulk supply for mid-to-large size applications - by the gallon or case . _______________________________________________________ Product Instructional Information: • For best results HeatSavr™ should be applied once at the end of the pool-use day. • Add HeatSavr™ directly to residential pool water at a ratio of 4 ounces per 1500 sq ft of pool surface area [width x length] daily, or add 1 ounce per 400 sq ft daily for commercial pools. • Bulk containers of HeatSavr™ may be stored for long periods of time without product losing strength. Avoid storing below 65 degrees F / 18 C. If white residue forms at the bottom, simply immerse bottle in warm water until residue disappears.

Heliotrope units are backed by one of the strongest factory warranties in the industry. Plus The Energy SuperMarket offers the lowest on-line factory direct pricing available! Guaranteed . INFO » Why U.S. Olympic engineers chose HelioMatic ____________________________________________________ 2006 New Features! The new model D solar pool heat controller features include: HM4000D and HM5000D • Sensor/connection fault LED's • Added absorber and automatic reset fuse protection • Double fuses for high voltage safety • Field selectable 12VAC and 24VAC option • Built in delay module for Flo-Verter valve HM5000D • 3HP pump relay capabilities • Sweep Delay • Spa Heating Priority • Freeze Recirculation and East/West collection options All of the Electro Magnetic Capability testing per the latest UL 991 [3rd Edition 10/22/04] standard has been completed with passing results. ____________________________________________________ The HelioMatic Control PACKAGE #1 - Individual Components : • HM4000D or HM5000D Control • 3-Way FloVerter Motorized Valve • Solar Roof Sensor • Pool Water Sensor HM4000D / Base Price Controller The HM4000D unit utilizes the existing pool's circulation pump for solar heat pick-up. It works in conjunction with the FloVerter 12VAC valve, or with other manufacturer's 12VAC valves. The FloVerter valve controls pool water circulation by the pool's filtration pump - either through the solar collectors, or bypassing the solar collectors. The HM4000D has the additional feature of being able to be used with either 12 or 24 volt valves. Specific Applications: Designed for both residential and light - duty commercial pools in the small to mid-size pool heating range when the HelioMatic controller only needs a FloVerter Valve, or if a maintenance change-out or upgrade is required. Note: The unit has a front panel switch which provides for nocturnal pool cooling instead of heating. Cooling is used in conjunction with the pool's filtration pump being allowed to run during cooler hours of early dawn. HM5000D / Upgrade Price Controller The HM5000D is identical to the 4000D except that in addition to operating either a 12 or 24 volt valve, the HM5000D will also operate a separate pump that is dedicated to solar circulation only. The pump can be sized up to 1HP with 120VAC and 2HP with 240VAC. Another unique feature of the HM5000D is a built in time delay* for use during pool sweep. This feature prevents pool sweep malfunction due to the introduction of air into its pumped line. When the HM5000D calls for solar heat pick up, the valve will immediately activate. There is an approx. 8 minute delay before the pump turns on. Specific Applications: Designed for both residential and medium - duty commercial pools in the small to mid-size pool heating range when the HelioMatic controller requires a FloVerter Valve, and when operation of a separate pump that is dedicated to solar circulation is also required. Note: When using a valve system only, the pool sweep pump may be wired to the HM5000D output [must be the same voltage as the pool filtration pump]. This method of pool sweep hook up will allow the pool sweep to operate only when the solar collection is taking place and the piping system will be purged of any air. *This function can be disabled. VIEW » Technical Specifications: HM4000 and HM5000 Controls ____________________________________________________ 3-Way FloVerter Motorized Valve Model: FV-2.0 The FloVerter 12VAC valve works in conjunction with either HelioMatic electronic controller model. When the controller is signaled by the sensors, and calls for solar heat pick-up, the FloVerter valve immediately activates. The opening "diverter" valve then directs the flow of circulation through the solar collectors using the pool's filtration pump. The FloVerter valve is a 12VAC 2" valve, utilizes permanent magnetic synchronous motors, and has an extremely low CV.* Technical Specifications: The FloVerter is a non-positive seal valve with a small hole located in the diverter, which allows the collector to drain when the system is turned off. This draining prevents collector damage due to cold weather freeze-ups. FloVerter's Unique Features: • Low profile design utilizes two synchronous motors to direct flow • Constructed using twin O-Rings that provide superior service • Diverter designed with curved and fluted channel for reduced pressure • Unibody valve/actuator require no assembly; actuator easily replaced • Manual control over-ride always available using sure-grip handle • Color-coded wire terminals make connecting to controller a breeze! • Non-positive seal for freeze protection; positive seal available • The FloVerter never needs lubrication, and may be mounted in any • position except upside down Note: For a positive solar shutdown, or service to collectors during pump operation cycle, an isolation ball or gate valve must be used on the feed line for positive shut off. *The extremely low C onstant V elocity factor is due to the unique curved and directed flow channel inside the diverter. [For additional information see FloVerter Technical Notes below] ____________________________________________________ Pool Water Sensor Model: IS-1.0-10K The IS-1.0 sensor is constructed entirely of solid stainless steel, inserted into a drilled hole in the 1 1/2" or 2" plumbing pipe, and easily and quickly fastened in place using a stainless steel hose clamp. It is then wired into the system, and signals the controller unit with readings on the pool water temperature. The sensor seals to the pipe with a long-lasting O-ring. Technical Specifications: The extra durability the virtually indestructible stainless steel sensor brings to the system truly guarantees years of corrosion resistant performance. ____________________________________________________ Solar Roof Sensor Model: AS2-10K The AS-2-10 is an all-aluminum sensor block, designed to both quickly and precisely determine solar radiation [sun's rays], and then simulate the internal water temperature of the collector panels caused by the solar absorption. The sensor instantly signals the controller unit, which sends the required command to the 3-Way FloVerter Valve. Technical Specifications: The greater surface area of the AS-2-10, combined with the superior conductivity characteristics of aluminum enable the sensor to detect the sun's rays sooner, plus detect when the right amount of solar energy is available. It also reacts to cloudy conditions and the setting sun more rapidly than other sensors on the market today, thus creating greater heat flow precisely during the critical "solar window" period and avoiding heat loss by not circulating when heat could be lost through reverse process - resulting in a much warmer pool, and a longer more pleasurable swimming experience! ____________________________________________________ HELP » Contact Customer Support • Toll-Free help line offering unit selection and sizing support • Online e-mail technical and installation support ____________________________________________________ The HelioMatic Package assures unsurpassed performance from your solar-heated pool! Proven in thousands of installations, both residential and commercial applications, Heliotrope’s reputation for and insistence on total quality and function, down to the smallest system component, has resulted in unprecedented user satisfaction for over a quarter of a century. And by choosing solar heating, it shows concern for the earth’s resources, now, and for generations to come. So make the most of your pool’s solar heating system. . . Make the choice of U.S. Olympic engineers - The HelioMatic Control System from Heliotrope, for years of unsurpassed swimming pleasure!!! ____________________________________________________ • Why Solar Controls dramatically enhance performance A Solar Control Unit needs to be included as an integral component of any solar system on an inground pool, or large above ground pool. Solar Controls are essential for maximizing the solar performance of any pool solar systems - even if the geographical location is in a consistently high solar effectiveness area. By accurately monitoring the available solar radiation and the pool's temperature, a Solar Control Unit directs the solar system to function only when it can add heat to the pool, resulting in capturing the most solar/cost savings benefit out of any solar system. Solar Controls also offer the additional benefit of thermostatic control, so the temperature can simply be set and effortlessly maintained. Just set it and forget it! Using a Solar Control assures high-limit protection, restricting the solar system from heating the pool/spa beyond the set temperature, a nice safety precaution! The GL-235 Control is designed not to let pool/spa water exceed 102°F, unlikely for a pool but very possible for a spa. The GL-235's thermostatic control can also be operated at night to cool the pool if it is in an area where pools become too warm from the sun on their own during the summer season. ____________________________________________________ • Logic of necessity for Solar Pool Control Package Pools heated by solar energy need to have an accurate controller for two primary reasons. Initially, it is vital for proper performance to maximize the utilization of the solar heat available by circulating water through the collectors when solar rays can be absorbed - and not circulating when heat could be lost through reverse process. The second reason for an accurate controller is to allow the pool owner/operator to automatically adjust and maintain the maximum temperature desired. This turn-key controller package is designed for a straightforward installation, dependable operation, and easy serviceability. A solar pool heating system can dramatically reduce or eliminate the rising monthly gas or electric power costs by heating your pool with free, abundant energy from the sun. Several recent studies using sophisticated monitored sites provided data that proved automatic controls were definitely beneficial. And installing a Goldline do-it-yourself package results in an immediate and dramatic reduction or elimination of pool heating costs! ____________________________________________________ Function: HelioMatic Package controls entire solar pool heating system Benefits: Maximizes your swimming pleasure!

An adequate length of three wire color coded cable is permanently attached to the FloVerter valve and these three wires connect to the color identified terminals on the HelioMatic controller. There is never a need to check flow direction as an error is impossible if the same colors are connected together. The FloVerter is a non-positive seal valve and the diverter has a small hole, which allows the collector to drain when the system is off. This draining prevents collector damage due to freeze ups. Note: For a positive solar shutdown, or service to collectors during pump operation cycle, an isolation ball or gate valve must be used on the feed line for positive shut off.

This same winning combination can insure your pool’s solar heating operates at peak efficiency; easily, automatically, and pleasurably! The reason HelioMatic was chosen as controller for the U.S. Summer OLYMPICS... It's as easy as setting a THERMOSTAT !!! Just set the desired water temperature on the controller panel knob. Basically, it’s as straightforward as setting a household thermostat . Two precision sensors, one for the pool water, and one simulating the solar collector, signal the controller when climate conditions are right for the water to be heated. If the water temperature is not at the desired setting, the controller opens the FloVerter Valve, sending water through the solar collectors, gathering warmth and returning to the pool. When the desired temperature is reached, the controller automatically closes the operating valve. Plus, not only will pool water be warm and comfortable every time, this Olympic-level system is designed to extend the enjoyment of the entire swimming season by providing warm water even under less than ideal weather conditions . ____________________________________________________ 2006 New Features!

It works in conjunction with the FloVerter 12VAC valve, or with other manufacturer's 12VAC valves. The HM4000D has the additional feature of being able to be used with either 12 or 24 volt valves. The FloVerter valve controls pool water circulation by the pool's filtration pump - either through the solar collectors, or bypassing the solar collectors. Specific Applications: Designed for both residential and light - duty commercial pools in the small to mid-size pool heating range when the HelioMatic controller only needs a FloVerter Valve , or if a maintenance change-out or upgrade is required. Note: The unit has a front panel switch which provides for nocturnal pool cooling instead of heating. Cooling is used in conjunction with the pool's filtration pump being allowed to run during the early dawn, cooler hours. HM5000D The HM5000D is identical to the 4000D except that in addition to operating either a 12 or 24 volt valve, the HM5000D will also operate a separate pump that is dedicated to solar circulation only. The pump can be sized up to 1HP with 120VAC and 2HP with 240VAC. Another unique feature of the HM5000D is a built in time delay* for use during pool sweep. This feature prevents pool sweep malfunction due to the introduction of air into its pumped line. When the HM5000D calls for solar heat pick up, the valve will immediately activate.** Specific Applications: Designed for both residential and medium - duty commercial pools in the small to mid-size pool heating range when the HelioMatic controller needs a FloVerter Valve, plus operate a separate pump that is dedicated to solar circulation only. **Note: There is an approx. 8 minute delay before the pump turns on. When using a valve system only, the pool sweep pump may be wired to the HM5000D output [must be the same voltage as the pool filtration pump]. This method of pool sweep hook up will allow the pool sweep to operate only when the solar collection is taking place and the piping system will be purged of any air. *This function can be disabled. ____________________________________________________ HELP » Contact Customer Support • Toll-Free help line offering unit selection and sizing support • Online e-mail technical and installation support ____________________________________________________ The HelioMatic Series assures unsurpassed performance from your solar-heated pool!

Parts & Supplies > Pool Heaters > Solar Heaters > Controls Heliotrope Pool Heliotrope 3-Way FloVerter Valve For automatic solar control Model: FV-2.0 3-Way FloVerter Motorized Valve Model: FV-2.0 The FloVerter 12VAC valve works in conjunction with either HelioMatic electronic controller model. When the controller is signaled by the sensors, and calls for solar heat pick-up, the FloVerter valve immediately activates. The opening "diverter" valve then directs the flow of circulation through the solar collectors using the pool's filtration pump. The FloVerter valve is a 12VAC 2" I.D. valve, utilizes permanent magnetic synchronous motors, and has an extremely low CV.* Technical Specifications: The FloVerter is a non-positive seal valve with a small hole located in the diverter, which allows the collector to drain when the system is turned off. This draining prevents collector damage due to cold weather freeze-ups. FloVerter's Unique Features: • Low profile design utilizes two synchronous motors to direct flow • Constructed using twin O-Rings that provide superior service • Diverter designed with curved and fluted channel for reduced pressure • Unibody valve/actuator require no assembly; actuator easily replaced • Manual control over-ride always available using sure-grip handle • Color-coded wire terminals make connecting to controller a breeze! • Non-positive seal for freeze protection; positive seal available • The FloVerter never needs lubrication, and may be mounted in any • position except upside down Note: For a positive solar shutdown, or service to collectors during pump operation cycle, an isolation ball or gate valve must be used on the feed line for positive shut off. *The extremely low C onstant V elocity factor is due to the unique curved and directed flow channel inside the diverter. The FloVerter valve is better than ever! A number of changes have been made to the Flo-Verter valve to make it even more reliable! Every component of the Flo-Verter valve has been analyzed and reevaluated. To further enhance the performance of the Flo-Verter, a number of positive changes have been made. • The motor mounts of the actuator motors are now thru bolted. • The wire terminal splices are soldered at the factory. • The actuator shaft is manufactured to upgrade tolerances with • Lubricomp and sealed with silicone to prevent the build-up • of chlorine gases. • The Model ‘D’ controllers have a delay module built into the circuitry • to block spikes and voltages that might cause the valve to stop part • way to collection. How is the Flo-Verter valve different from others? The Flo-Verter valve looks pleasingly different from other motorized valves at the plumbing site of the pool. The homeowner can simply observe the arrow shaped valve handle and determine that pool water flow is going to the collectors, giving them confidence that solar heat collection is taking place. There is not a toggle switch on the Flo-Verter valve that can easily be left in the wrong position thereby eliminating costly service calls. The handle on the Flo-Verter valve allows the home owner or service personnel to manually change the direction of water flow. If left in a position not commanded by the controller, the valve position will be automatically corrected the next collection cycle. ____________________________________________________________ FloVerter Technical Notes: Installation is simplified as one port is easily identified with a "FLOW TO COLLECTOR" symbol. An adequate length of three wire color coded cable is permanently attached to the FloVerter valve and these three wires connect to the color identified terminals on the HelioMatic controller. There is never a need to check flow direction as an error is impossible if the same colors are connected together. The FloVerter is a non-positive seal valve and the diverter has a small hole, which allows the collector to drain when the system is off. This draining prevents collector damage due to freeze ups. Note: For a positive solar shutdown, or service to collectors during pump operation cycle, an isolation ball or gate valve must be used on the feed line for positive shut off. ____________________________________________________________ HELP » Contact Customer Support • Toll-Free help line offering unit sizing support • Online e-mail technical and installation support • Brand and cost-of-operation comparisons ____________________________________________________________ Heliotrope Pool Flo-Verter Valve Installation Heliotrope Pool Warranty ____________________________________________________ Delivery Information: Please allow 3 to 5 business days for orders to be processed, plus standard transportation delivery time.

Goldline Controls is proud to note that due to the reliability and performance of its products, it is the predominate supplier of product into the solar pool heating market, earning 70%+ market share of the solar pool heating market! ____________________________________________________ • Why Solar Controls dramatically enhance performance A Solar Control Unit needs to be included as an integral component of any solar system on an inground pool, or large above ground pool. Solar Controls are essential for maximizing the solar performance of any pool solar systems - even if the geographical location is in a consistently high solar effectiveness area. By accurately monitoring the available solar radiation and the pool's temperature, a Solar Control Unit directs the solar system to function only when it can add heat to the pool, resulting in capturing the most solar/cost savings benefit out of any solar system. Solar Controls also offer the additional benefit of thermostatic control, so the temperature can simply be set and effortlessly maintained. Just set it and forget it! Using a Solar Control assures high-limit protection, restricting the solar system from heating the pool/spa beyond the set temperature, a nice safety precaution! The GL-235 Control is designed not to let pool/spa water exceed 102°F, unlikely for a pool but very possible for a spa. The GL-235's thermostatic control can also be operated at night to cool the pool if it is in an area where pools become too warm from the sun on their own during the summer season. ____________________________________________________ • Logic of necessity for Solar Pool Control Package Pools heated by solar energy need to have an accurate controller for two primary reasons. Initially, it is vital for proper performance to maximize the utilization of the solar heat available by circulating water through the collectors when solar rays can be absorbed - and not circulating when heat could be lost through reverse process. The second reason for an accurate controller is to allow the pool owner/operator to automatically adjust and maintain the maximum temperature desired. This turn-key controller package is designed for a straightforward installation, dependable operation, and easy serviceability. A solar pool heating system can dramatically reduce or eliminate the rising monthly gas or electric power costs by heating your pool with free, abundant energy from the sun. Several recent studies using sophisticated monitored sites provided data that proved automatic controls were definitely beneficial. And installing a Goldline do-it-yourself package results in an immediate and dramatic reduction or elimination of pool heating costs! ____________________________________________________ Function: Goldline Package controls entire solar pool heating system Benefits: Maximizes your swimming pleasure!

Specific Applications: Designed for both residential and medium - duty commercial pools in the small to mid-size pool heating range when the GL-235 LV/HV controller needs a Goldline/Jandy Valve, plus operate a separate pump that is dedicated to solar circulation only. ____________________________________________________ The GL-235 Goldline Series – Operational Details: • Automatic Heating If the water within the collectors is warmer than the pool water by 4 degrees or more, and the pool is below the selected desired temperature, the valve will rotate allowing heat collection. The heat collection will stop when the solar sensor output falls to within 1.5 degrees of the pool temperature or the pool temperature exeeds the "desired temperature" set on dial. • Automatic Nocturnal Cooling [Field selectable option] Swimming pools often become too warm from the sun on their own during the heigth of the summer season. The GL-235 comes standard with nocturnal cooling logic, which can be enabled/disabled via the main circuit board. During nighttime hours, when enabled, the GL-235 will circulate warmer water from the pool to collector panels, thus cooling the pool over time. If the water within the collectors is cooler than the pool water by 6 degrees or more, and the pool is above the selected desired temperature, the valve will rotate allowing cooling via the collectors. The heat dissipation will stop when the collectors sensor output rises within 3 degrees of the pool temperature, or the pool temperature is lowered below the set desired temperature. • Setting Desired Temperature The GL-235 logic is set by a single dial adjustment with the desired pool/spa temperatures clearly indicated. The dial is calibrated with the temperatures from 70 degrees to a high of 104 degrees for quick and easy, user-friendly operation. The temperature set indicates set pool/spa temperature, and the GL-235 will automatically determine if the water should be solar heated or cooled, thus maximizing the system capabilities. • Terminal Connections For input power, and sensor inputs; controls also have industry standard 3 pin connectors for both forward and reverse valve actuator operation and screw terminal connectors. • LED Digital Indicators Show the status of the system operation; four highly visible LED’s show: 1. Power to the control 2. Power output directing valves and/or pump to collect heat 3. Power output directing valves and/or pump to dissipate heat 4. Sensor fault indicator shows sensor(s) not operating properly • GL-235 Valve Electrical Ouput Rating is the industry standard 24VAC. A jumper switches the output to 12VAC for compatibility with older valve actuators. Output is fuse protected. • Freeze Protection [Field selectable operation] Turns the GL-235 recirculation output ON , directing warmer pool/spa water through the collectors when near freezing temperatures are reached at the collector sensor. The GL-235 will allow recirculation when the collector temperature rises to 42 degrees. Two 10K Ohm sensors are required for operation. One or more freeze snap switches are recommended if freeze recirculation protection is utilized. Note: see installation instructions before using Recirculation Freeze • System Test Switch Allows the user to manually override the automatic function of the GL-235 and verify operation. ____________________________________________________ Installation Technical/Operational Details: • Both models GL-235-LV and GL-235-LV/HV control a single valve. • In most applications this is the solar valve, which diverts water through • the solar collector panels or through the normal pool loop depending • on conditions. • Both GL-235-LV and GL-235-LV/HV units are shipped with the output • voltage set to the industry standard 24VAC. • For older systems with 12VAC valves, an internal jumper can be • moved to select 12 VAC output operation. • The GL-235 provides two different types of connections to the • pool/spa actuators. When used with newer actuators manufacturered • by Goldline, Compool, Hayward, and Jandy that come standard with • wire end connectors, two 3-pin connectors are supplied. For older • actuators with no wire end connector, a 3 position terminal block • is supplied. ____________________________________________________ HELP » Contact Customer Support • Toll-Free help line offering unit selection and sizing support • Online e-mail technical and installation support ____________________________________________________ • Goldline is clearly recognized as the world leader!

Parts & Supplies > Pool Heaters > Solar Heaters > Controls Heliotrope Pool Heliotrope Solar Roof Sensor For use with Solar Control Model: AS2-10K Heliotrope Solar Roof Sensor The AS-2-10 is an all-aluminum sensor block, designed to both quickly and precisely determine solar radiation [sun's rays], and then simulate the internal water temperature of the collector panels caused by the solar absorption. The sensor is placed in direct sunlight and mounted to the roof using a screw or adhesive. The sensor instantly signals the controller unit, which sends the required command to the 3-Way FloVerter Valve. The greater surface area of the AS-2-10, combined with the superior conductivity characteristics of aluminum enable the sensor to detect the sun's rays sooner, plus detect when the right amount of solar energy is available. It also reacts to cloudy conditions and the setting sun more rapidly than other sensors on the market today, thus creating greater heat flow precisely during the critical "solar window" period and avoiding heat loss by not circulating when heat could be lost through reverse process - resulting in a much warmer pool, and a longer more pleasurable swimming experience! Product Benefits: • Maximizes pool temperature Product Applications: • Used to measure solar heat on roof • Used in conjunction with the Heliotrope HelioMatic Solar Pool • Control Unit - Model: HM Series • Used as a replacement for the Heliotrope HelioMatic Solar Pool • Control Package #1 - Model: HM-PKG • Can be used with any Solar Control unit that requires 10K sensors Product Features: • All aluminum sensor block for superior conductivity • One year factory warranty Product Manufacturer: Heliotrope Pool Product Installation Instructions: Install black aluminum sensor where it will receive sunlight similar to the solar collectors. Use a cable clamp and TEK screw to mount [not included]. The cable clamp serves as a strain relief for the cable wires. Install stainless steel drill-in sensor into 1-1/2” or 2” pipe to sense pool water temperature. Drill 5/16” diameter hole into pipe and install by using stainless steel clamp. Wires go through the hole punched into the clamp. This sensor goes into pipe ahead of the solar collector, usually near the pump. Use 3M Scotchlok connectors [part number UY-2] for connecting the sensor leads to your interconnecting cable. Tie a knot with the cable wires and the sensor leads to function as a strain relief. Wire ends must not be stripped. Insert the insulated wire ends into the UY-2 and with pliers, press the round disc into place, locking the connection. Note that UY-2 is an improved connector over the UY because it makes a double contact with the wires and also accommodates larger wires. _______________________________________________________ Solar Sensor application trouble-shooting tips: All GoldLine controls including GL35, AquaSol, and GL235 series, and all Heliomatic HM Series controls, and most other brands incorporate the use of 10k sensors. Some other lesser known brands used 3k sensors. To determine the type of sensor, the resistance must be measured in ohms using a volt/ohm meter when the sensor is at 77 degrees F. 10k measures 10,000 ohms and 3k measures 3,000 ohms. As the temperature goes up, the resistance goes down. Resistance can be checked at any temperature, and then convert the ohm reading measured to the temperature equivalent by using the conversion chart .

Solar Controls are essential for maximizing the solar performance of any pool solar systems - even if the geographical location is in a consistently high solar effectiveness area. By accurately monitoring the available solar radiation and the pool's temperature, a Solar Control Unit directs the solar system to function only when it can add heat to the pool, resulting in capturing the most solar/cost savings benefit out of any solar system. Solar Controls also offer the additional benefit of thermostatic control, so the temperature can simply be set and effortlessly maintained. Just set it and forget it! Using a Solar Control assures high-limit protection, restricting the solar system from heating the pool/spa beyond the set temperature, a nice safety precaution! The GL-235 Control is designed not to let pool/spa water exceed 102°F, unlikely for a pool but very possible for a spa. The Aqua Solar thermostatic control can also be operated at night to cool the pool if it is in an area where pools become too warm from the sun on their own during the summer season. ____________________________________________________ • Logic of necessity for Solar Pool Control Package Pools heated by solar energy need to have an accurate controller for two primary reasons. Initially, it is vital for proper performance to maximize the utilization of the solar heat available by circulating water through the collectors when solar rays can be absorbed - and not circulating when heat could be lost through reverse process. The second reason for an accurate controller is to allow the pool owner/operator to automatically adjust and maintain the maximum temperature desired. This turn-key controller package is designed for a straightforward installation, dependable operation, and easy serviceability. A solar pool heating system can dramatically reduce or eliminate the rising monthly gas or electric power costs by heating your pool with free, abundant energy from the sun. Several recent studies using sophisticated monitored sites provided data that proved automatic controls were definitely beneficial. And installing a Goldline do-it-yourself package results in an immediate and dramatic reduction or elimination of pool heating costs! ____________________________________________________ Function: Goldline Package controls entire solar pool heating system Benefits: Maximizes your swimming pleasure!

Every control is conceived, designed, developed, and manufactured in-house. Goldline has pioneered all of the advances that make automatic control of solar heating systems easy, accurate, and reliable. The Goldline name is recognized the world over for superior quality, performance, and reliability. Every control manufactured goes through a series of multiple inspections and tests to ensure its integrity. Goldline has been awarded numerous product and design patents in recognition of the many unique, progressive, and evolutionary products produced, and is UL Listed for safety and performance. Goldline Controls is proud to note that due to the reliability and performance of its products, it is the predominate supplier of product into the solar pool heating market, earning 70%+ market share of the solar pool heating market! ____________________________________________________ • Why Solar Controls dramatically enhance performance A Solar Control Unit needs to be included as an integral component of any solar system on an inground pool, or large above ground pool. Solar Controls are essential for maximizing the solar performance of any pool solar systems - even if the geographical location is in a consistently high solar effectiveness area. By accurately monitoring the available solar radiation and the pool's temperature, a Solar Control Unit directs the solar system to function only when it can add heat to the pool, resulting in capturing the most solar/cost savings benefit out of any solar system. Solar Controls also offer the additional benefit of thermostatic control, so the temperature can simply be set and effortlessly maintained. Just set it and forget it! Using a Solar Control assures high-limit protection, restricting the solar system from heating the pool/spa beyond the set temperature, a nice safety precaution! The GL-235 Control is designed not to let pool/spa water exceed 102°F, unlikely for a pool but very possible for a spa. The Aqua Solar thermostatic control can also be operated at night to cool the pool if it is in an area where pools become too warm from the sun on their own during the summer season. ____________________________________________________ • Logic of necessity for Solar Pool Control Package Pools heated by solar energy need to have an accurate controller for two primary reasons. Initially, it is vital for proper performance to maximize the utilization of the solar heat available by circulating water through the collectors when solar rays can be absorbed - and not circulating when heat could be lost through reverse process. The second reason for an accurate controller is to allow the pool owner/operator to automatically adjust and maintain the maximum temperature desired. This turn-key controller package is designed for a straightforward installation, dependable operation, and easy serviceability. A solar pool heating system can dramatically reduce or eliminate the rising monthly gas or electric power costs by heating your pool with free, abundant energy from the sun. Several recent studies using sophisticated monitored sites provided data that proved automatic controls were definitely beneficial. And installing a Goldline do-it-yourself package results in an immediate and dramatic reduction or elimination of pool heating costs! ____________________________________________________ Function: Goldline Package controls entire solar pool heating system Benefits: Maximizes your swimming pleasure!

An accumulation of these contaminants will tend to cloud the water, therefore a small trace amount of chlorine or other oxidizers is necessary to dissolve them to maintain crystal clear conditions. Other oxidizers that may be substituted are bromine, hydrogen peroxide, or oxygen based compounds, which are readily available at most pool supply stores. _______________________________________________________ HELPFUL Q & A – Specific Information * regarding use : Q: How much chlorine or other oxidizers are necessary after the pool water is fully ionized? A: Only a trace amount, [approx. 0.5 - barely detectable on a chlorine test kit] should be maintained to burn off contaminants. Q: Will other chemicals, such as algaecide, clarifier, stabilizer, etc. be necessary, or will shock treatment be required? A: Using the floatron allows the PH level to stabilize. No other chemicals are recommended, and your pool will not need to be shocked. The floatron works perfectly with trace chlorine only. Q: Will chlorine or other oxidizers still need to be added daily? A: Only once per week, or if the pool begins to cloud, add a very small amount of chlorine. An easy way to pro-actively control the accumulation of contaminants is to maintain a trace level of chlorine is to leave one tablet in the skimmer basket. Q: How does floatron affect pool pump operation? A: Operate pump and filter system during daylight hours when floatron is generating ions. This will allow proper mixing and circulation of the minerals. Pump operation is unnecessary and optional at night, and the unit can be left in the pool overnight. Q: Does any unit ever required maintenance? A: The only part requiring replacement is the sacrificial mineral electrode which will last approximately 1- 3 swimming seasons and takes only minutes to change. Replacement cost is minimal, with the approximate cost of the replacement electrode - $75.00 The floatron requires the weekly washing of electrodes - residue is excellent fertilizer on shrubs or lawn. * Complete start-up and operating instructions included. _______________________________________________________ HELPFUL Q & A – General Information regarding function : Q: If floatrons work so well, why aren't they for sale in every pool store nation-wide? A: Since the floatron's natural ionization purification process drastically reduces chemical sales, and are a one-time purchase, most pool stores are reluctant to offer them. The motive... profit . floatron is the least expensive, most effective way to purify pool water available today, and selling floatrons to customers would dramatically reduce their high-profit chemical sales. Q: How does floatron compare to other brands of ionizers? A: floatron is a finely tuned device which introduces ions slowly and steadily into the water. This constant trickle allows water to accept and react completely with the minerals. This is technically superior to any other ionizer in the world, all of which generate large amounts of mineral ions in a short period of time. Not only are these expensive units overpowered and bulky, they require professional installation and servicing. Additionally, complex electronic controllers can add to their unreliability and cost. Compactness and portability are unique to floatron. Q: How does the floatron actually purify pool water? A: As atoms of the floatron's special mineral electrode are ionized, they scatter throughout the water. These mineral ions exert a fatal influence on microscopic life forms. Experimentation by the University of Arizona proves that mineral ions, in conjunction with trace chlorine are 1,000 times more effective against algae than chlorine alone. Once these minerals are dissolved into water, they remain for extended periods. Similar to salt in the ocean, ions do not evaporate, even under extreme, hot conditions. Chlorine, however, is a very light element which tends to evaporate rapidly, especially in hot weather. This being the reason for larger chlorine doses in summer. Q: What is scientific basis for Ionization? A: Ionization is the taking apart of a material, atom by atom. This process occurs in nature at all levels and is how water accumulates trace minerals which help maintain its purity. Water purification by ionization has been practiced for thousands of years. By storing water in copper and silver containers, ancient Romans kept it fresh and free from algae and bacteria. In floatron, a small electrical current supplied by a solar panel energizes the electrodes creating the electrochemical reaction. Q: How important is eliminating Chlorine use? A: Sydney, Australia won the Olympic bid with the promise of "chlorine-free" Games. As a result, the Homebush Aquatic Centre, [the Olympic swimming venue] had ozone systems installed which were very expensive to install and costly to operate, just so the athletes would not have to swim in heavily chlorinated water. Q: But are the minerals generated from floatron safe? A: The recommended concentration is about 1/3 the amount allowed by the American EPA for drinking water. Essentially, safe enough to drink ! Q: What is the service life of the floatron? A: This product is designed to last about as long as your pool!!! The solar photovoltaic panel does not wear out. The sacrificial mineral electrode can be replaced as many times as necessary over the years. Q: Does the floatron stay in the water all the time? A: 15,000 gallons and larger, probably most or all of the time [depending on local conditions]. Smaller pools part-time floating [e.g. few days in, few days out]. See instructions for full details. Swimming while the floatron in the water is perfectly safe. It only measures 12 inches in diameter, so goes virtually unnoticed in a pool. Customer chooses whether to tether it, or let it free-float. Q: What if the pool is covered? A: Simply fold back a corner of the cover, or cut a small cross to sit the electrode through. The floatron works the same, whether it is stationary, or free-floating. Q: Will floatron work in a "freshwater" pool that already has a "saltwater" chlorine generator? A: Yes! Just use a lower setting on the saltwater chlorine generator. Q: Will floatron work in a "saltwater" pool? A: Yes! It works the same as when used in a "freshwater" pool. Q: Is the floatron safe and effective for ponds and fish? A: The floatron works well in all pond environment provided circulation exists to mix the ions thorough the body of water. The low concentration of minerals has proven to be completely compatible with all well known varieties of fish. Q: Is the floatron effective for pools/spas inside glass atriums? A: No, the floatron doesn’t work through glass. Compare Floatron to other types of Purifiers _______________________________________________________ * GreenPeace - Excerpts from Environmental Study on Chlorine Disturbing recent studies show that chlorinated organics block the body’s natural hormones, especially the female hormone estrogen. Concern is growing among scientists, wildlife experts, and public health officials that this widely used chemical may cause serious problems in the environment, and in people ! Toxic and Carcinogenic Considerations: • Chlorine gas was used to kill soldiers during World War One • Chlorine is used in making 96 percent of all toxic pesticides • Chlorine compounds used to manufacture plastic and vinyl, • dry-clean clothes, disinfect commercial and domestic laundry • Toxicity is one of chlorine’s most effective properties: • it kills insects and pests, dissolves dirt and grime on clothing, • and it kills harmful bacteria in laundry and in hospitals Environmentalists charge that chlorinated compounds are rapidly destroying the ozone layer, and are slowly building up worldwide in the air, water, and food chain - and in our bodies, as well. Scientific evidence implicates widespread health problems in people and wildlife, including infertility, impaired childhood development, immune system damage, and cancer. Chlorine and its effects are proving similar to DDT and Asbestos, which were also initially thought to be harmless. This is the same chemical we use to "purify" the water that we, and our loved ones - go swimming in...

Mind/Body Energy > Digestive Health Garden of Life Acid Defense Nature's Acid Relief Formula Made by: Garden of Life Volume Discounts Available Acid Defense Nature's Acid Relief Formula Acid Defense supplement is a natural, alkalinizing formula designed to support digestive health. On those occasions when you experience temporary heartburn, acid indigestion or upper GI distress, Acid Defense's super-alkalinizing ingredients help rapidly restore your body's proper pH and provide reinforcement for alkaline reserves. An excellent source of electrolytes, Acid Defense contains a blend of live enzymes, neutralizing minerals and probiotics from goat's milk whey. *Stomach Soothe Enzyme Blend™ is a registered trademark of National Enzyme Company. Maintaining a balanced pH is the most important metabolic function your body performs, aside from breathing and maintaining a heartbeat. The ingredients in Acid Defense such as barley, beet and carrot juice support this vital function by providing naturally occurring potassium, calcium, magnesium and other alkalinizing components that soothe the stomach and enhance digestive health. Unlike commercial antacids that can produce unwanted side effects, Acid Defense supplement is safe for daily usage with no known side effects. Our proprietary Poten-Zyme™ fermentation process ensures maximum absorption and delivery of nutrients. Why rely on temporary, potentially risky solutions to stomach acid problems? Use Acid Defense instead and enjoy the relief nature intended. Benefits: • Helps to naturally reduce heartburn and acid indigestion • Soothes the stomach and digestive tract • Contains naturally occurring alkalinizing minerals from goat's • milk whey • Helps restore natural alkaline pH _______________________________________________________ HELP » Contact Customer Support • Toll-Free help line offering product info and ordering support • Online e-mail customer support _______________________________________________________ Acid Defense Q&A How does Acid Defense supplement aid my digestive health? Beneficial flora in the gut is the very foundation of health. The probiotics, live enzymes and alkalinizing minerals naturally occurring in goat's milk whey, along with organic vegetable juice concentrates and our powerful Stomach™ Soothe Enzyme Blend, produce a soothing effect, help maintain a balanced pH, and promote the growth of healthy flora throughout the intestines. How does alkalinizing reduce my heartburn and other digestive symptoms? Dietary salt/sodium is alkaline by nature, and can be useful in the digestive process to break down foods and perform a wide variety of metabolic functions. When your body becomes too acidic, it compensates by pulling alkaline salts into the bloodstream. Since the body can tolerate only a slight imbalance in blood pH, it can rob precious alkaline reserves from the digestive tract in an attempt to restore the proper pH balance. This can result in heartburn, digestive distress, stomach upset, fatigue and other uncomfortable symptoms. Commercial antacid products alleviate symptoms by blocking the production of acid, which can produce unwanted side effects. The ingredients in Acid Defense supplement, however, contain naturally occurring alkalinizing components that reestablish a balanced, healthy, system-wide pH. Acid Defense is safe for daily usage with no known side effects. Why does this formula include sodium and potassium? If it were not for sodium making the tissue in your stomach highly alkaline, the lining would be destroyed by the hydrochloric acid normally produced there. The stomach, intestines, joints and ligaments are in constant need of natural food-source sodium like that found in Acid Defense. Potassium neutralizes acid waste and, in combination with sodium, maintains a healthy acid/alkaline balance. Potassium and sodium are almost always found together in the body and perform many of the same functions. How do I use Acid Defense to prevent heartburn? Simply take one heaping tablespoon mixed with eight ounces of water or juice before bed or whenever symptoms occur. What makes your Acid Defense supplement better than other acid relief formulas? Every day, millions of people reach for commercial antacids and the growing number of over-the-counter options for acid reflux. Many of these products try to address acid reflux symptoms by reducing the production of stomach acids. Stomach acids are critical for proper digestion, however, especially of calcium. Many commercial antacids also contain toxic ingredients such as aluminum and artificial colors and sweeteners. These chemicals not only disrupt digestion, but they also alter the structure and function of stomach lining cells and cause side effects like headache, diarrhea and abdominal pain. The worse effect, despite the temporary relief, is that antacids exacerbate the underlying cause of acid reflux and one of its most annoying symptoms. By neutralizing what little acid the stomach may produce, the stomach acid insufficiency is made worse. Then, in a desperate attempt to correct the problem, the stomach occasionally produces a surge of too much acid, causing the uncomfortable burning sensation. Acid Defense, on the other hand, contains alkalinizing components that help soothe the stomach and reduce acid indigestion naturally. Acid Defense supplement is safe for daily usage with no known side effects.

Mind/Body Energy > Digestive Health Garden of Life Fungal Defense Candida and Yeast Cleanse Made by: Garden of Life Volume Discounts Available Fungal Defense Candida & Yeast Cleanse In healthy people, candida does little harm because it's kept in check by beneficial microorganisms, or probiotics. These "good" bacteria, however, can be easily destroyed by antibiotics, prescription medications, birth control pills, poor diet and daily stress, allowing candida yeast to grow out of control. Thought to affect more than 40 million Americans, candida can cause uncomfortable symptoms such as vaginitis, bowel disorders, ear and sinus irritation, intense itching, canker sores and ringworm. Fungal Defense supplement helps combat the effects of candida and other fungi with Homeostatic Soil Organism blends, enzymes and herbal extracts considered to be among the most powerful anti-fungal substances in nature. Our proprietary Poten-Zyme™ fermentation process makes Fungal Defense easy to digest and assures more complete absorption of valuable nutrients. Don't let troublesome infections plague you. Put Fungal Defense to work to help eliminate harmful candida, restore your body's homeostatic balance and enhance your overall health. Benefits: • Delivers nature's most effective anti-yeast and anti-fungal • compounds • Contains probiotic strains of beneficial Homeostatic Soil • Organism™ blends • Restores healthy intestinal flora • Stimulates and enhances immune functions _______________________________________________________ HELP » Contact Customer Support • Toll-Free help line offering product info and ordering support • Online e-mail technical and installation support _______________________________________________________ Fungal Defense Q&A What is candida and how does it affect me? Candida albicans is a single-celled fungal yeast that inhabits the intestinal tract and mucous membranes of every living person. Among the most prolific organisms on the planet, it is impossible to keep out of the body, but it does little harm when balanced by beneficial microorganisms, or probiotics. However, when the immune system is compromised or friendly bacteria are killed by taking antibiotics, candida can grow unrestrained and produce infections that can last for years. To help keep candida in check, anti-fungal medications or probiotics should be taken whenever antibiotics are used. What are HSO blends and why do I need them to fight fungal infections? Homeostatic Soil Organism blends (HSOs) are highly stable, beneficial probiotic microorganisms. Impervious to stomach acids, they crowd out pathogens and aggressively consume yeasts, fungi and bad bacteria in the intestines. Healthy people usually have a balance of approximately 85% good and 15% harmful organisms in the intestinal tract. Most of us, however, have the opposite ratio as a result of daily exposure to our environment, and even certain habits considered healthy. Taking antibiotics, drinking chlorinated water and using antibacterial soap, for example, often kill the good bacteria essential for health. The HSOs in Fungal Defense supplement help restore the system-wide balance of good and bad bacteria to boost the immune system. How can I prevent candida from recurring? The powerful ingredients in Fungal Defense are specifically targeted to destroy yeast and other fungi to restore a balanced, healthy internal environment. To prevent re-infection and maintain a properly balanced system, you should reduce or, in some cases, eliminate sweets; carbohydrates such as bread, pasta, muffins and glutenous grains; alcohol; vinegar; fruits and aged cheeses from your diet. Sugars and carbohydrates in particular feed yeast, which thrives in sugary environments and causes cravings for those foods to increase. Should I use Fungal Defense® and Primal Defense™ supplements together? N o. Begin with a 14-day Fungal Defense program as directed on the product label before starting to use Primal Defense products. What makes your Fungal Defense formula better than other anti-fungal formulas? Our Fungal Defense is the only anti-fungal formula on the market containing Homeostatic Soil Organism compounds (HSOs)—among nature's most powerful weapons against candida, viruses and fungi. Our proprietary Poten-Zyme™ fermentation process makes our Fungal Defense supplement easy to digest and assures more complete absorption of valuable nutrients.

Mind/Body Energy > Digestive Health Garden of Life Primal Defense - Powder HSO Probiotic Formula Made by: Garden of Life Volume Discounts Available Primal Defense Powder Primal Defense supplement is the only probiotic formula designed to optimize the digestive, bowel and immune systems with a unique whole food Homeostatic Soil Organism(HSO) blend. The HSOs in Primal Defense give you the powerful nutrients you would get if your food came from soil untouched by pesticides, herbicides and other widely used chemicals. To replenish the valuable nutrients our modern diet no longer provides, Primal Defense includes 14 species of hardy, non-dairy HSOs. For even greater efficacy, these HSOs are grown in a base of nutrient-rich Superfoods, providing more than 100 naturally occurring live enzymes, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, chlorophyllins and plant saponins. Unlike other probiotics, the HSOs in Primal Defense supplements can thrive in the toughest digestive environments and are undeterred by temperature, stomach acid, chlorine, fluorine, ascorbic acid or bile. Whether you suffer from severe disorders or are in perfect health, let the powerful HSOs in Primal Defense take you to a new level of total health. Primal Defense supplements come in two easy-to-use forms: Powder and UltraZorbe™ caplets. Benefits: • The only whole food probiotic blend containing 14 species of • Homeostatic Soil Organism™ blends (HSOs) • Contains more than 100 naturally occurring vitamins, minerals • and live enzymes • Used by more than 3,500 healthcare practitioners • Requires no refrigeration _______________________________________________________ HELP » Contact Customer Support • Toll-Free help line offering product info and ordering support • Online e-mail technical and installation support _______________________________________________________ Primal Defense Q&A What are probiotics and why do I need them? Probiotics are formulas designed to promote the growth of beneficial microorganisms, also called good bacteria. Healthy human intestines contain billions of microorganisms—both good and bad. The good bacteria in the intestine are considered an integral part of your immune system. Probiotics provide good bacteria that synthesize the B-complex vitamins and crowd out yeast and parasites. Many people are unaware that daily exposure to our environment and even certain habits considered healthy—taking antibiotics, drinking chlorinated water, using antibacterial soap—often kill these good bacteria essential for health. What are HSO blends and how do they work? HSOs, or Homeostatic Soil Organism blends, are super probiotics available in Primal Defense supplement. Upon being swallowed, the HSO compounds activate and restore the gut's balance by attaching themselves to the intestinal wall. On the intestinal wall, they reproduce to form colonies where harmful bacteria and other pathological microorganisms live. Once established, the HSO compounds quickly begin crowding out pathogens and producing the proper environment for nutrient absorption, reinstating a balanced pH. Once established, HSOs improve your body's functions in a number of ways. In fact, according to early research and anecdotal evidence, HSOs have been found to: • Work from inside the intestines, dislodging accumulated decay • from the walls and flushing out waste. • Break down hydrocarbons, which means they possess a unique • ability to split food into its most basic elements, allowing almost • total absorption through the digestive system. This increases • overall nutrition and enhances cellular development. • Produce specific proteins that act as antigens, encouraging the • immune system to manufacture huge pools of uncoded • antibodies. This increased production of antibodies may • significantly boost the body's ability to ward off disease. • Aggressively consume pathological yeasts, fungi, bacteria, • parasites and viruses. • Work in symbiosis with somatic (tissue or organ) cells to • metabolize proteins and eliminate toxic waste. • Stimulate the body to produce natural alpha-interferon, a potent • immune system enhancer and powerful virus inhibitor. • Provide critical Lactoferrin supplementation as a by-product of • their metabolism. Lactoferrin is an iron-binding protein essential • for retrieving iron from foods. What symptoms can occur if I don't have enough probiotics? A lack of beneficial bacteria often results in poor intestinal and immune system health, contributing to a wide range of symptoms and illnesses. The following symptoms may result from a lack of probiotics: • Gas, Bloating and Indigestion • Diarrhea and/or Constipation • Bad Breath and Body Odor • Candida Yeast Infections • Skin Problems such as Acne, Eczema and Psoriasis • Delayed Development in Children • Frequent Colds What is the difference between Primal Defense supplements and other probiotics? Even if they manage to get through destructive stomach acids, most probiotic supplements have difficulty implanting in colons that are pH imbalanced or have too many harmful bacteria. HSO blends are designed to implant in any colonic environment. The Microflora™ Delivery System ensures that the probiotics colonize throughout the digestive tract where they are most effective. The probiotics contained in Primal Defense supplements are grown and incorporated into a living whole food substrate using the Poten-Zyme™ process, which allows them to thrive on their long journey through the GI tract. Most probiotic companies grow bacteria, and then in a centrifuge, separate them from their substrate. We believe the substrate is as important as the probiotics themselves. Many probiotics have included fructooligosaccharides (FOS) in their product. FOS is an indigestible sugar that may cause digestive disturbances in certain individuals. Primal Defense contains no FOS. Since most probiotic supplements contain live cultures, they are temperature and age sensitive, therefore requiring refrigeration. If room temperature can begin to degrade these probiotics, imagine what the warm human body will do. Our HSOs remain dormant until activated in body fluids, and requires no refrigeration. Many probiotic products measure their potency in colony-forming units (CFUs), whereas in Primal Defense, it's not the quantity of probiotics that counts; it's the quality. The hardy probiotic strains in Primal Defense are resistant to heat, cold, stomach acid, chlorine, fluorine, ascorbic acid and bile. The efficacy of a probiotic should be based upon its ability to thrive in the digestive tract, whatever the conditions. If I'm healthy, how can I benefit from taking Primal Defense? Total health begins in the gut, so an optimized digestive tract can offer any number of benefits, including more regular bowel movements, better sleep patterns, fewer colds and flu and more energy. Where do Garden of Life's proprietary HSOs come from? Years ago, our soil was teeming with beneficial microbes, which humans would consume through their food. Today, however, the use of pesticides, herbicides and other chemicals has virtually eliminated the beneficial probiotic content in our planting soil. In order to gain the HSO benefits we once enjoyed, Garden of Life accesses an exclusive, proprietary process to cultivate naturally occurring colonies of HSOs in a laboratory, using Superfood substrates and pure, nutrient-dense soil. What probiotic species does Primal Defense contain? Primal Defense supplements are a natural whole food probiotic blend of HSOs utilizing our proprietary Poten-Zyme™ process and the Microflora Delivery System. The Superfood blend in each Primal Defense caplet is cultured using the following 14 probiotic species: Lactobacillus acidophilus Lactobacillus rhamnosus Lactobacillus salivarius Lactobacillus paracasei Lactobacillus plantarum Lactobacillus caseii Lactobacillus brevis Bifidobacterium breve Bifidobacterium lactis Bifidobacterium longum Bifidobacteria bifidum Bacillus subtilis Bacillus licheniformis Saccharomyces boulardii* *This lactic acid yeast does not promote the growth of Candida albicans. http://shop.solardirect.com/product_info.php?products_id=239 http://shop.solardirect.com/images/p_primal_defense_powder.gif 239 2 0.00 33.72

According to the Surgeon General's report on nutrition and health, eight out of 10 leading causes of death in the U.S. are diet related. Digestive problems, rare or non-existent less than a century ago, now represent one of the most important health issues in North America. Consuming enzyme rich foods and "live" enzyme supplements like Ω-Zyme is the best way to ensure your body gets the enzymes it needs for proper metabolism and good health. With more than 20 different digestive enzymes, Ω-Zyme supplement is a powerful digestive enzyme product.

Enzymes are protein-like substances that help maintain the body's tissues, orchestrate its functions and digest food. There are three kinds of enzymes: • Metabolic enzymes spark many of the reactions inside cells, • enabling our organs, tissues and cells to work properly. • Food enzymes supplied by what we eat help break down food • before our digestive enzymes are called upon. Food enzymes • are destroyed at temperatures above 118 degrees, so all • cooked and processed foods are devoid of them. • Digestive enzymes secreted by the pancreas break down the • nutrients in the foods we eat. Enzymes are perhaps our most important nutrients. When we eat raw foods, we consume the enzymes they contain, making them easy to digest. However, when we eat cooked or processed foods, the body must create the enzymes necessary to digest them. This constant demand for enzymes depletes our supply, strains the body and enlarges the pancreas. Since enzymes are destroyed once they complete their tasks, we must constantly replenish our supply for life to continue. The best ways to get the enzymes you need are to consume a diet high in "live" raw and fermented foods, and to consume a high-potency digestive enzyme supplement such as Ω-Zyme™. What are live enzyme supplements? The plant-based enzymes in Ω-Zyme supplement have been formulated along with fermented ginger, tumeric, barley grass and cat's claw. These ingredients, long revered for their natural ability to enhance digestion, have been fermented utilizing our proprietary Poten-Zyme™ process. This process results in the creation of natural "live" enzymes and beneficial microorganisms that increase the bio-availability of the enzyme blend in Ω-Zyme. What's in Ω-Zyme™ supplement? Ω-Zyme contains potent "live" enzymes essential to vibrant health: • Protease blend of five proteolytic enzymes aids digestion and • utilization of dietary proteins. • Glucoamylase breaks down carbohydrates. • Invertase (sucrase) digests sugars and helps prevent • gastrointestinal problems. • Alpha-galactosidase helps digestion of difficult-to-digest foods • such as beans, legumes and cruciferous vegetables. • Cellulase digests fiber cellulose into smaller units to help • remedy digestive problems such as malabsorption. • Xylanase breaks down the sugar xylose. • Pectinase breaks down carbohydrates such as pectin, found in • many fruits. • Hemicellulase breaks down carbohydrates found in plant foods. • Mannanase digests the sugar known as mannose. • Phytase breaks down carbohydrates present in many difficult-to- • digest grains and beans. • Beta-glucanase-breaks down polysaccharides and fibers. • Arabinosidase digests the sugar arabinose. • Bromelain breaks down protein and fights inflammation and • reduces swelling. • Papain digests protein and eases gastrointestinal discomfort. • Poten-Zyme ginger extract contains extremely potent protein- • digesting enzymes frequently used to treat nausea and motion • sickness. • Poten-Zyme turmeric extract is used to improve digestion and • reduce stomach discomfort. • Poten-Zyme barley grass extract provides the mineral co- • factors • necessary to enhance enzyme function. • Poten-Zyme cat's claw extract is a powerful herb used for • hundreds of years for digestive problems and other ailments. What makes your Ω-Zyme different from other enzyme supplements? Our Ω-Zyme supplement is one of the most powerful digestive enzyme products available, with more than 20 different digestive enzymes and more lipase for fat digestion than the leading brands. Other comparisons of enzyme activity per dose are shown here. How do I take Ω-Zyme? Ω-Zyme can be sprinkled directly on food that is room temperature or cooler at each meal or snack. You can also take it on an empty stomach to increase cleansing and detoxification.

Mind/Body Energy > Digestive Health Super Seed - Beyond Fiber Vegetarian Dietary Fiber Made by: Garden of Life Volume Discounts Available Super Seed Beyond Fiber Super Seed® is a powerful whole food formula that supplies your body with a highly usable, nutrient-dense, vegetarian source of dietary fiber. Super Seed is a whole food blend of certified organic and chemical-free seeds, sprouted grains and legumes. Each of the ingredients in Super Seed supplement was specifically chosen for its exceptional ability to enhance and support bowel health. The role fiber plays in a healthy diet became startlingly apparent in the late 1800s, when processes for refining sugar and milling flour were introduced. As people began consuming new "wonder foods" void of dietary fiber, they simultaneously started suffering from digestive and bowel disorders. Now, after three generations raised on processed foods, up to 100 million Americans suffer some form of digestive disease. Super Seed is a rich source of flax seed, chia seed, sprouted quinoa, sprouted amaranth, pumpkin seed, sunflower seed, sesame seed, millet, buckwheat, fiber from garbanzo, red lentil, kidney and adzuki beans, and cinnamon, a potent harmonizer with considerable digestive value. Formulated with our exclusive Poten-Zyme™ fermentation process, Super Seed delivers maximum bio-availability and absorption. Give your body the whole food fiber it needs for vital bowel and colon function and overall good health with Super Seed®. Benefits: • Provides a highly usable, nutrient-dense, vegetarian source of • soluble and insoluble dietary fiber • Helps relieve occasional constipation and decreases colonic • transit time • Promotes beneficial flora in the intestines • Aids in the digestion of grains, seeds and legumes • Neutralizes enzyme and nutrient inhibitors such as phytates _______________________________________________________ HELP » Contact Customer Support • Toll-Free help line offering product info and ordering support • Online e-mail technical and installation support _______________________________________________________ Super Seed Q&A Why is dietary fiber important? Vibrant health begins in the colon, and supplying your body with adequate dietary fiber every day is essential to bowel and colon functions. The benefits of the dietary fiber found in Super Seed supplement include: Stimulates occasionally sluggish bowels for reduced constipation Helps support already normal glucose levels Enhances absorption of bile acids and salts How do I take Super Seed®? Super Seed supplement is a grain that can be mixed in smoothies, vegetable or fruit juice, cereal, yogurt or soups. In fact, Super Seed can add nutritional value and fiber to nearly any food or beverage. What makes your Super Seed® supplement better than other fiber supplements? Many other fiber supplements rely on insoluble fiber alone and provide very little in the way of nutrition. Some ingredients in popular fiber products, such as psyllium, can actually do harm to the sensitive walls of the gastrointestinal tract. Super Seed utilizes soluble and insoluble fiber from pre-digested grains, seeds and legumes that are easy to digest and gentle on the system. Super Seed is also a rich source of nutrients including balanced levels of Omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids.

Mind/Body Energy > Body Essentials Garden of Life Coconut Cooking Oil Extra Virgin; World's Healthiest Oil Great Aroma and Flavor! Made by: Garden of Life Note: This item is currently backkordered; orders placed with not be filled until late April 2005. Volume Discounts Available Extra Virgin Coconut Oil— The Healthier Oil Garden of Life™ Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is one of the healthiest and most versatile unprocessed dietary oils in the world. Once thought to be a "bad" fat, coconut oil has been proven to be a stable, healthy saturated fat that can help maintain cholesterol levels, support thyroid function, ease occasional digestive disorder symptoms, avert sugar cravings and provide many other health benefits. Garden of Life Extra Virgin Coconut Oil contains lauric acid—the kind found in mother's milk—along with other medium-chain fatty acids. These super fatty acids are quickly metabolized and converted to energy in the body, rather than being stored as fat. Garden of Life Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is made with only the freshest, organically grown coconuts. Return to the purity of the world's healthiest oil with Garden of Life Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. Benefits: • Healthy, unprocessed culinary oil with delicious coconut flavor • and aroma • Helps maintain already healthy HDL and LDL cholesterol ratios • and support healthy thyroid function • Abundant in medium-chain fatty acids • Made from 100% certified organic coconuts _______________________________________________________ HELP » Contact Customer Support • Toll-Free help line offering product info and ordering support • Online e-mail technical and installation support _______________________________________________________ Extra Virgin Coconut Oil Q&A I thought tropical oils were unhealthy. What makes Garden of Life Extra Virgin Coconut Oil different? Early researchers failed to distinguish between saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. They assumed all fats (including coconut oil) were unhealthy because they raised serum cholesterol levels. But in revisiting those studies, researchers discovered that all fats are not created equal. Newer research demonstrates saturated fats rich in the medium chain fatty acids like those found in Garden of Life Extra Virgin Coconut Oil are very beneficial. In the body, lauric acid, which accounts for 50-55% of the total fatty acids in Garden of Life Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, converts to monolaurin, a powerful monoglyceride. What makes this coconut oil extra "virgin?" Unlike refined coconut oils, Garden of Life Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is not hydrogenated, bleached, refined or deodorized. It is produced using the same methods Filipino farmers have used for thousands of years. Meat extracted from only the freshest, organically grown coconuts is shredded and cold-pressed to make coconut milk. The milk is left to ferment 24-36 hours, during which time the oil separates. The end-product is an aromatic coconut oil that retains its taste, aroma and nutritional value for a very long time. In fact, Garden of Life Extra Virgin Coconut Oil has a longer shelf life than any other plant oil. How does Garden of Life Extra Virgin Coconut Oil benefit my health? Although many people equate fat with weight gain, clogged arteries and high blood pressure, certain fats actually help prevent those conditions and are essential to good health. Coconut oil has been shown to reduce the symptoms of occasional digestive disorders and support overall immune function. In addition, a study conducted in Yucatan, where coconut oil is a staple, showed metabolic rates of people living there to be 25% higher than in comparable test subjects living in the U.S. Increased metabolic rate is a key to healthy weight management and could account for the leanness of people living in areas where coconut oil is consumed on a daily basis. What makes Garden of Life Extra Virgin Coconut Oil better than other coconut oils? Because Garden of Life Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is traditionally prepared and minimally processed, it retains all of its medium-chain fatty acids and other beneficial compounds. Refined versions may have a bland or burnt taste as a result of the refinement process. Additionally, Garden of Life Extra Virgin Coconut Oil delivers the aroma and flavor of fresh coconuts.

Fruits of Life is a fruit- and mineral-based whole food powder blend containing four of the most powerful antioxidant fruits on the planet. It has more than 21 organic nutrients and beneficial probiotics, including: • Blueberries, shown to play a role in thwarting the effects of • aging. • Strawberries, a rich source of natural vitamin C and • phytochemicals. • Raspberries, a potent source of ellagic acid, vitamin C and • fiber. • Blackberries, a concentrated source of anthocyanins and other • phytochemicals. • Raisins, which contain more than a dozen antioxidants as well as • resveratrol, a beneficial phytonutrient. • Mineral Matrix™, a unique blend of alkalinizing minerals, • enzymes and probiotics from goat's milk that feeds beneficial • flora in the gastrointestinal tract to aid digestion and • elimination. • Flavonoids, which help prevent the formation of free radicals. • Anthocyanins, flavonoids found in blueberries that are three to • four times more potent than vitamin C. What are free radicals and how can they hurt my body? Free radicals are unstable, destructive molecules that lack electrons. They form naturally as a result of normal metabolic processes such as breathing, but they can be increased beyond healthy levels by smoking, obesity, poor diet, aging, over-exercise, stress and other factors. When the body lacks adequate antioxidants to fend them off, oxidative stress occurs, which can lead to cell damage and a host of health problems. What are antioxidants and why do I need them? "Antioxidant" is a classification of organic substances found in fruits and vegetables. Antioxidants deactivate free radicals that, if allowed to persist, can cause cell damage and eventually lead to disease. Why is alkalinity or proper pH important to me? Alkalinity or proper pH—the balance of acids in the body—is important because, like body temperature, there's an optimal pH range in which the body creates healthy reactions. Maintenance of the proper pH range is an important component to good health. Research indicates that many health issues are associated with over-acidity (or low pH level) in the body. How do the alkalinizing minerals in Fruits of Life™ supplement benefit me? The alkalinizing minerals in Fruits of Life help restore and maintain the body's proper pH. By clearing the cells of acidic waste, Fruits of Life supplement support good health. Consuming Fruits of Life powder is an excellent way for your child to get his or her recommended daily allowance of the highest quality organic fruits and vegetables available. One serving of Fruits of Life contains 3,000mg of the most powerful antioxidant fruits on earth. What makes your Fruits of Life supplement better than other antioxidant formulas? Our Fruits of Life supplement is unlike any other antioxidant formula available today. Its wide array of powerful fruit extracts and fermented goat's milk whey make this formula both unique and potent. The fruit powders in Fruits of Life have been predigested using our proprietary Poten-Zyme™ fermentation process to increase bio-availability and nutrient assimilation. What is the difference between Radical Fruits and Fruits of Life supplements? While both contain powerful antioxidants essential to good health, Radical Fruits is formulated with highly concentrated ingredients that dictate the use of a caplet form rather than a powder form as with Fruits of Life. A powder form of Radical Fruits would not be palatable. Total Purchase* Discount $100 - $249 5% OFF $250 - $399 10% OFF $400 + 15% OFF *Discount applies only toward Garden of Life ™ products.

Mind/Body Energy > Body Essentials Garden of Life Goatein Pure Goat's Milk Protein Powder With all 8 Essential Amino Acids Made by: Garden of Life Volume Discounts Available Goatein Pure Goat's Milk Protein Powder Goatein™ is the highest quality protein powder available. It contains all eight essential amino acids—protein building blocks crucial to enhancing your immune system and alleviating the effects of oxidative stress on the body. Goatein protein is produced from goat's milk that contains no chemicals, antibiotics or female growth hormones, leaving its amino acids, enzymes and beneficial bacteria in their purest forms. Because the smaller molecules in goat's milk are closer in size and composition to human milk, Goatein protein is easy to digest and can be tolerated by many people who cannot digest cow's milk. Additionally, Goatein protein is partially predigested using our proprietary Poten-Zyme™ process to enhance nutrient absorption and bio-availability. Join the millions who enjoy the health benefits of goat's milk protein by adding Goatein protein to your diet every day. Benefits: • Pure goat's milk protein powder • Valuable source of all essential amino acids needed for healthy • tissue development • Goatein goats are not fed pesticides, herbicides, growth • hormones or antibiotics • Easier to digest than cow's milk and substantially less allergenic _______________________________________________________ HELP » Contact Customer Support • Toll-Free help line offering product info and ordering support • Online e-mail technical and installation support _______________________________________________________ Goatein™ Q&A Why do I need a protein supplement? Proteins form the foundations for muscles, skin, bones, hair, teeth, blood, the brain, the heart and billions of biochemical activities in the body. They are made up of approximately 22 amino acids, eight of which are considered "essential" because the body cannot produce them and they must be obtained through diet. Protein is needed to maintain proper pH balance—a key component of good health. Without adequate amounts of protein, your blood and tissues can become either too acidic or too alkaline, resulting in a pH imbalance. By adding a high-quality protein formula like Goatein to your diet, you get the protein needed to maintain vibrant health. Is the animal protein in Goatein™ better than vegetable protein? Yes! Animal protein is the only complete source of protein available. Vegetarian sources such as soy are typically low in one or more of the essential amino acids, even when overall protein content is high. There is also some controversy regarding the safety of soy. Soy protein is thought by some researchers to be high in mineral-blocking phytates and thyroid-depressing phytoestrogens. Potent enzyme inhibitors in soy may even depress growth. Why is Goatein protein easier to digest than cow's milk? The smaller molecules in goat's milk are closer in size and composition to human milk and substantially less allergenic than cow's milk protein. Additionally, Goatein protein is partially pre-digested through our proprietary Poten-Zyme™ process, making it even more bio-available while virtually eliminating its lactose content. Research has shown that proteins from milk pre-digested by lacto-fermentation are absorbed more efficiently than those of non-fermented milk. An added benefit of the fermentation process is that it creates digestive enzymes that aid in the assimilation of nutrients. What is oxidative stress and how does Goatein protein help the body fight it? Oxidative stress is a harmful condition that occurs when there is an excess of free radicals, a decrease in antioxidant levels, or both in the body. What makes Goatein™ protein better than other protein products? Most commercial dairy protein powders are produced from animals given antibiotics and/or BrST that produce female hormones. Many vegetable protein powders are made from non-organic or genetically modified organisms and may contain chemical residues. By contrast, Goatein protein powder is made from pure goat's milk, without antibiotics or female growth hormones. Our goats are not fed pesticides, herbicides, growth hormones or antibiotics. Additionally, most other milk protein powders are made from cow's milk and although they claim to be "minimally processed," invasive processing including heating at high temperatures is used. Because Goatein protein powder is processed without acid or excessive heat, the amino acids, enzymes and beneficial bacteria remain in their natural forms.

Far north in the icy Atlantic, lives a truly remarkable culture of people who have withstood the challenges of harsh weather and long seasons of darkness. This is the island nation of Iceland. Cod liver oil has always been an important part of the diet of the Icelandic people. They instinctively recognized the importance of vitamin A, vitamin D and the essential omega-3 fatty acids found in cod liver oil. Cod liver oil was used as a panacea for everything that affected their health and daily activities. Regular use of cod liver oil has supported the overall health of the Icelandic people for thousands of years. Now, this same product is available to support your overall health.

Mind/Body Energy > Body Essentials Garden of Life Perfect Food Original Formula Equals 10 Servings of Vegetables Made by: Garden of Life Volume Discounts Available Perfect Food® Original Formula Perfect Food ® and Perfect Food® Original are powerful, whole food formulas packed with antioxidant green grasses, micro-algae, sea vegetables, whole vegetables and their juices, sprouted grains, seeds, legumes and acerola cherries. Ranked the No. 1 selling green food in the natural products industry, Perfect Food contains more greens per serving than any other super green food. That's the nutritional equivalent of five to 10 servings of vegetables in convenient caplets or an easy-to-mix powder. Nearly every major health organization recommends eating five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables per day to protect against degenerative diseases. Yet, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, less than 9% of American adults consume the recommended servings. Perfect Food and Perfect Food Original are complete whole food supplements that give you all the vitamins and minerals you need to feel your best and achieve better health. Formulated using our proprietary Poten-Zyme™ process, Perfect Food supplements are easily absorbed by the body, even for those suffering digestive disorders. High in nutritional value and low in calories, Perfect Food is also ideal for those on low carbohydrate diets who are unable to eat enough dark green leafy vegetables. You can choose to take Perfect Food Original Formula or Perfect Food—an equally powerful formula with a lighter concentration of fermented greens and a hint of stevia to sweeten the taste. Add Perfect Food products to your daily regimen and feel the difference only perfect food can make. Perfect Food supplements come in two easy-to-use forms: powder and UltraZorbe™ caplets.

Super green foods are derived from young cereal grasses such as wheat, barley, rye, oats and alfalfa, as well as spirulina, chlorella, kelp, dulse and other sea vegetables. Perhaps the most nutrient-dense foods on earth, these grasses are richer in nutrients than spinach, broccoli, eggs and chicken in virtually all categories including protein, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, zinc, copper, manganese, vitamin C, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, folic acid, vitamin B12, carotenoids and vitamin E. Super green foods are the only foods in the vegetable kingdom that enable animals to continually maintain their weight, strength and optimal health even if consumed alone. They abound in unidentified growth factors, powerful antioxidants, immune boosters and many other health enhancing nutrients. What are the effects of not eating enough vegetables and greens? Surprisingly, malnutrition can occur even if your body is only deficient in a single vitamin. Malnutrition means you're not getting enough nutrients as a result of an inadequate or unbalanced diet or because of digestive or absorption difficulties. Symptoms of malnutrition include lack of energy, irritability, a weakened immune system leading to frequent colds or allergies, and mineral depletion that can trigger a variety of health concerns including anemia. If I'm already taking a vitamin supplement, why do I need Perfect Food® supplements? The whole foods found in Perfect Food provide vitamins and minerals as nature intended, with all the naturally occurring co-factors and synergistic compounds intact. They contain hundreds, and possibly thousands, of nutrients that cannot be isolated and put into a vitamin and mineral supplement. Whole foods and their concentrates contain complete nutritional complexes the body recognizes and assimilates according to what it needs—a process called "selective absorption." In contrast, most vitamin and mineral supplements are made from fractionated, isolated or synthetic sources that can potentially create an environment of biochemical imbalances and toxicities. For optimal health, there's nothing better or more compatible to the human body than nutrient-rich, unprocessed whole foods in their balanced, natural state, like those found in Perfect Food. What makes your Perfect Food formula better than other super green food formulas? Compared to competitors' formulas, our Perfect Food formula delivers the best amount of concentrated, absorbable green foods. Serving for serving, Perfect Food supplements are unmatched in nutrient-rich whole food quality and quantity.

Benefits: • A comprehensive blend of certified organic, antioxidant-rich fruit • extracts and alkalinizing minerals • Helps fight and neutralize free radicals and protect against • oxidative damage • Contains powerful antioxidants such as ellagic, chlorogenic and • caffeic acids • More potent than grape seed extract, green tea and pycnogenol _______________________________________________________ HELP » Contact Customer Support • Toll-Free help line offering product info and ordering support • Online e-mail technical and installation support _______________________________________________________ Radical Fruits Q&A What is Radical Fruits® and what is in it? Radical Fruits is a powerful antioxidant blend designed to ward off the effects of aging and support good health. It contains: • Poten-Zyme™ Grape extract, with antioxidants from the skin, • seeds and extracts from whole grapes • Poten-Zyme™ Raspberry extract, abundant in vitamin C, fiber • and ellagic acid • Goat's milk whey, with alkalinizing minerals, enzymes and • probiotics that aid in digestion and elimination. • Prune extract, which some studies show to have the highest • antioxidant activity of all foods • Poten-Zyme™ Blueberry extract, shown to help reduce glucose • absorption in the intestines, increase glucose metabolism, • support healthy blood sugar and cholesterol levels and fight free • radicals What are free radicals and how can they hurt my body? Free radicals are unstable, destructive molecules that lack electrons. They form naturally as a result of normal metabolic processes such as breathing, but they can be increased beyond healthy levels by smoking, obesity, poor diet, aging, over-exercise, stress and other factors. When the body lacks adequate antioxidants to fend them off, oxidative stress occurs, which can lead to cell damage and a host of health problems. What are antioxidants and why do I need them? "Antioxidant" is a classification of organic substances found in fruits and vegetables that deactivate free radicals. Free radicals, if allowed to persist, can compromise cellular integrity. The destruction of healthy cells may be avoided by simply adding a powerful antioxidant nutrient combination such as Radical Fruits to your daily diet. An extensive ORAC analysis (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) performed at Tufts University in Boston, showed high scores in the ability of these fruit extracts to significantly protect cells and their components from oxidative damage. They were also shown to help slow the processes associated with aging in both body and brain function. What is the difference between Radical Fruits and Fruits of Life supplements? While both contain powerful antioxidants essential to good health, Radical Fruits® is formulated with highly concentrated ingredients that dictate the use of a caplet form rather than a powder form as with Fruits of Life. A powder form of Radical Fruits would not be palatable. What makes your Radical Fruits supplement better than other antioxidant blends? Radical Fruits is unlike any other antioxidant formula available today. Its blend of powerful fruit extracts and fermented goat's milk whey makes this formula both unique and potent. The fruit powders in our Radical Fruits supplement have been predigested utilizing our proprietary Poten-Zyme™ fermentation process to increase bio-availability and nutrient assimilation.

Outdoor Lighting > Solar Powered > Marine Carmanah Technologies Inc Carmanah Flashing Marine Light Three Mile Range Model: 702 Carmanah Model 702 Flashing Marine Light Range: 3 nautical miles The Model 702 is a multi- purpose solar powered marine light suitable for virtually any low intensity navigational or hazard marking requirements. Innovation – What sets the Carmanah apart from all other lights is its unique encapsulated design. Completely waterproof, vibration proof and vandal resistant, each Carmanah is built for autonomous and continuous operation without any maintenance for up to 5 years. The Carmanah 702 three nautical mile [5.4km] marine hazard light is very similar to the 701 model, but is upgraded with larger solar panels along with heavy duty power storage. Designed for reliable operation at higher latitudes and in areas of low solar illumination, the 702 is the larger, heavier version of the two models available in the 700 Series; it is intended for use in regions where the solar illumination is less than 1.0 hours of winter sunlight. The Carmanah 702 is a state-of-the-art 3 mile marking light with robust design and high performance output. A removable battery pack extends unit life up to 10 years. Originally designed and manufactured under contract with the U.S. Coast Guard, the 700 Series were the first solar-powered lanterns using light emitting diodes [LEDs] to enter the U.S. Navigational Aid System. Using intelligent, patented electronics, Carmanah solar-powered LED lights can operate year round at nearly any location worldwide. With more than 90,000 units now installed in over 110 countries, Carmanah lights have proven to be the most durable and reliable self-contained solar marine lighting available for use in all types of industrial/commercial applications. Using an array of ultra-bright LEDs (light emitting diodes), the 702 can generate light output in five colors that meet the international chromaticity requirements for green, red, amber, white and blue. It can also generate all IALA standard flash patterns and custom patterns can be special ordered. The 702 charges during the day, even under cloudy conditions, and turns on automatically at night. It also features sophisticated microprocessor intelligence that enables advanced light output control and battery power management, as well as precisely controlled flash rates. Lens options – Carmanah's are available in six LED output colors: amber, blue, green, red, white are created using standard clear lens. For daytime color indications, colored lenses are available. _______________________________________________________ HELP » Contact Customer Support • Toll-Free help line offering product info and ordering support • Online e-mail technical and installation support _______________________________________________________ Product Benefits: • S uitable for low intensity navigation / hazard-marking requirement • Operates trouble-free from any geographic location worldwide • Reliable operation 365 days a year - operates in cloudy conditions • Battery backup storage allows operation for 3 weeks without sun • Six to eight year life cycle expected; no bulb or battery to replace • Industrial grade durability; completely self-contained and integrated • Minimal capital investment; no wiring or electrical service required • Pays for itself within the first year of operation in the form of • reduced installation costs, maintenance, and servicing costs Product Applications: • All ports, lakes, rivers, oceans; all navigable bodies of water • Public, private, and commercial marinas, airfields, terminals • Boat docks, anchorage, marker, mooring, and navigational buoys, • H arbor entrances, breakwater / channel markers, barges, bridges • Offshore reefs and wrecks, d redging lines, oil containment booms • Offshore drilling platforms, d ive platforms, and swim rafts • A quaculture farm perimeters Product Features: • Carmanah incorporates highest efficiency solar cells available • Optional remote control is available to change flash pattern, • change intensity level, activate / deactivate the unit and check • battery level for current capacity • Do-it-yourself friendly; average 1/4 hour non-technical installation • Easy to read installation manual; step-by-step diagrams • Powered exclusively by Carmanah's proprietary MicroSource™ • advanced technology solar LED lighting unit • Uses LEDs [light emitting diodes] with approximately 100,000 • hour lifespan - no bulbs to replace... ever!!!

How will a Heat Pump perform? Cost of Operation ____________________________________________________ What size do I need? Sizing of a heat pump pool heater is based on the pool's surface area, geographic location, environmental conditions such as shading, wind, blanketing against night time heat losses, and more. Please complete, print and fax sizing form to 800-897-6527 and our engineers and consultants will prepare a free cost of operation and pool heater sizing analysis. Sizing Guideline: • Model AT700 for pools 12 x 24 up to 16 x 32 (288 to 512 square feet) • Model AT1200 for pools 18 x 36 up to 20 x 40 (648 to 800 square feet) Can I install it myself? Each model of heat pump can be installed by the handyman, although it is strongly recommended that the electric hookups be made by a professional contractor. It typically takes less than a day to have a heat pump installed and running. Installation manuals are included with each Heat Pump. View Aquatherm's Installation Manual in PDF format. Energy Rating and Efficiency Pool/Spa heat pumps are rated on B.T.U. output and C.O.P. efficiency: B.T.U. [British Thermal Units] is the measured amount of heat output the unit will produce. The B.T.U. output will fluctuate with the outside air temperature and humidity levels. C.O.P. [Coefficient Of Performance] is the measured ratio of kilowatt usage compared to the kilowatt output. Aquatherm heat pumps produce between 6.3* and 5.4** kilowatts for every one kilowatt used to operate it, therefore every $1.00 spent in operation returns $6.30 to $5.40 worth of heat. The C.O.P. efficiency will fluctuate with outside air temperature and humidity levels. In 23 years of testing, Aquatherm has focused on obtaining the highest efficiency possible. A pool heat pump can be charged with refrigerant in such a way that will increase the BTU output at the "optimum" or "easy" weather conditions but, the efficiency [or cost of operation] will be sacrificed, especially in colder "tougher" weather conditions. A unit with a C.O.P. of 1 point less can cost 20+% more to operate than the Aquatherm. Operating efficiently during colder weather conditions is "where the rubber meets the road" so to speak. Aquatherm designs their heat pumps to obtain the maximum BTU, but only at the very highest efficiency possible in a wide range of weather conditions. The greatest value a heat pump provides a pool owner is to deliver a warm pool or hot spa at the lowest possible cost of operation. ____________________________________________________ Note: All heat pumps are shipped directly from the factory and are non-returnable - all sales are final.

Phytosterols are plant "fats" present in all vegetable foods. They are biologically active molecules that have been clinically proven to significantly modulate the effects of the immune system. Phytosterols and sterolins can naturally increase levels of the super hormone DHEA and scientists believe they have the ability to actually "turn off" factors that can initiate inflammation. Without phytosterols and sterolins in our diet, the immune system may become too stressed to function properly. Because modern processing and preparation techniques can wipe out the beneficial phytosterols and sterolins in raw foods, our diets usually have little sterolin content. What is in RevivAll? All three RevivAll formulas contain the highest quality certified organic or chemical-free ingredients shown to help boost the immune system, regulate hormones and promote good health. While other products contain only one or two ingredients offering limited therapeutic benefits, each RevivAll Formula contains powerful whole foods and herbs with a multitude of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, proteins, amino acids, antioxidants and phytonutrients. RevivAll Classic contains: • Organic garbanzo beans, one of the most nutritious legumes • containing high amounts of calcium, phosphorus, potassium, • iron, vitamin C and B complex vitamins. • Organic red lentils, a rich source of protein, calcium, • phosphorus, potassium, zinc, iron and B complex vitamins. • Organic soy beans, an excellent source of Omega 3 fatty acids. • Organic flax seed, nature's richest source of Omega 3 fatty • acids and lignans. • Organic sunflower seeds, an excellent quality protein loaded with • nutrients such as calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus and • potassium. • Organic adzuki beans, used in the Far East to support bowel and • kidney function. • Organic kidney beans, shown to have a positive influence on the • heart, circulatory system and small intestine. • Organic brown rice, a concentrated source of B vitamins and • tocotrienols, part of the vitamin E family studied extensively for • its antioxidant capabilities. • Organic imopotea (sweet potato), containing one of the highest • concentrations of beta carotene of any food or herb. How do I know which RevivAll™ formula is right for me? RevivAll Classic Formula can be used by men and women of all ages to support the immune system, support already healthy hormone levels, and promote overall health and well-being. RevivAll Female Vitality Formula is specifically formulated to help women over 40 deal with various health issues that come with age. The whole foods and herbs in this formula are known to positively impact these conditions. RevivAll Male Vitality Formula is designed for men over 40. It supports the health of the male reproductive and endocrine systems as men grow older. The whole food ingredients in RevivAll Male Vitality Formula are selected to improve prostate function and increase energy and stamina. What makes RevivAll™ better than other phytosterol and sterolin formulas? With more than 17 premium foods and herbs, only RevivAll offers this range of benefits in one convenient capsule. For even greater efficacy, the formula is activated by our proprietary Poten-Zyme Process, making RevivAll exceptionally usable for the body.

Phytosterols are plant "fats" present in all vegetable foods. They are biologically active molecules that have been clinically proven to significantly modulate the effects of the immune system. Phytosterols and sterolins can naturally increase levels of the super hormone DHEA and scientists believe they have the ability to actually "turn off" factors that can initiate inflammation. Without phytosterols and sterolins in our diet, the immune system may become too stressed to function properly. Because modern processing and preparation techniques can wipe out the beneficial phytosterols and sterolins in raw foods, our diets usually have little sterolin content. What is in RevivAll? All three RevivAll formulas contain the highest quality certified organic or chemical-free ingredients shown to help boost the immune system, regulate hormones and promote good health. While other products contain only one or two ingredients offering limited therapeutic benefits, each RevivAll Formula contains powerful whole foods and herbs with a multitude of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, proteins, amino acids, antioxidants and phytonutrients. All three RevivAll formulas contain: • Organic garbanzo beans, one of the most nutritious legumes • containing high amounts of calcium, phosphorus, potassium, • iron, vitamin C and B complex vitamins. • Organic red lentils, a rich source of protein, calcium, • phosphorus, potassium, zinc, iron and B complex vitamins. • Organic soy beans, an excellent source of Omega 3 fatty acids. • Organic flax seed, nature's richest source of Omega 3 fatty • acids and lignans. • Organic sunflower seeds, an excellent quality protein loaded with • nutrients such as calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus and • potassium. • Organic adzuki beans, used in the Far East to support bowel and • kidney function. • Organic kidney beans, shown to have a positive influence on the • heart, circulatory system and small intestine. • Organic brown rice, a concentrated source of B vitamins and • tocotrienols, part of the vitamin E family studied extensively for • its antioxidant capabilities. • Organic imopotea (sweet potato), containing one of the highest • concentrations of beta carotene of any food or herb. RevivAll™ Female Vitality Formula also contains: • Wild yam with diosgenin, a compound used extensively to • support metabolic function and virility. • Dong quai, used in China for centuries to ease menstrual • symptoms and hot flashes. • Black cohosh, used in Europe for menopause support for more • than 40 years. • Licorice, to help support the adrenal glands and stimulate • excretion of hormones from the adrenal cortex. • Horse chestnut, a unique herb that helps support circulation and • capillary walls. • Chasteberry, whose essential oils and compounds may help • normalize the menstrual cycle. • Red clover extract, containing more than four important plant • estrogens.

The human body is approximately 70% to 80% water by weight, with 99.5% of all molecules containing water. Water is the delivery system that carries nutrients to the cells, maintains energy production and removes toxic wastes from the body. Life as we know it originated in water and cannot exist without it. Water acts as chemical messenger carrying vital elements such as oxygen, hormones and minerals to all parts of the body. Increasing water intake can significantly alleviate many health problems. What do the minerals and trace elements in Springs of Life® water enhancer do? Minerals and trace minerals are the catalysts for all other nutrients your body uses in maintaining vibrant health. They help energize and fuel your body's electrical system and support the natural balance in healthy tissues, fluids, cells and organs. Research shows that a deficiency of these elements may result in a variety of toxicities. Trace elements do not exist by themselves, but function in a symbiotic relationship to one another and must remain in relative balance throughout the body to contribute to good health. Springs of Life provides these natural ingredients in their delicate, inherent states so they can: • Support hydrochloric acid in assisting digestion and assimilation. • Act as building blocks for enzymes, hormones and other natural • body chemicals. • Support natural balance in every tissue, fluid, cell and organ. • Balance acid/alkaline pH. • Serve as ionized conductors of the body's electrical system. • Provide electrolytes that form ionic particles carrying electrical • charges to cellular membranes. What makes Springs of Life better than other water enhancers? Springs of Life is uniquely designed to bring water as close to its primitive vitality as possible. By introducing key minerals and antioxidants, Springs of Life assists in the removal of toxins and acidic waste and supports the immune system for overall good health Total Purchase* Discount $100 - $249 5% OFF $250 - $399 10% OFF $400 + 15% OFF *Discount applies only toward Garden of Life ™ products.

Mind/Body Energy > Optimal Wellness Garden of Life Zero Gravity Weight Management Formula All Natural, Non-Addictive Formula Made by: Garden of Life Volume Discounts Available Zero Gravity Weight Management All Natural, Non-Addictive Zero Gravity is a blend of whole fruits, sea vegetable extracts and tea infusions of roots, barks and leaves. Excessive weight and obesity lead to some 280,000 preventable deaths in the U.S. each year. As many of us know, losing weight is never easy, but early research suggests that the ingredients in Zero Gravity may be effective for fat loss and maintenance of lean body mass. However, further research needs to be done to confirm these results. Plus, Zero Gravity contains none of the stimulants found to cause potentially harmful side effects. Achieve your ideal body and recapture your health and vitality with the proven, safe power of Zero Gravity. Benefits: • Offers a natural, non-addictive way to address weight • management issues • Contains naturally occurring compounds such as whole fruits, • sea vegetable extracts and tea infusions of roots, barks and • leaves to assist in healthy weight loss • Contains no stimulants such as ephedra, caffeine, ma huang or • coleus forskohlii _______________________________________________________ HELP » Contact Customer Support • Toll-Free help line offering product info and ordering support • Online e-mail technical and installation support _______________________________________________________ Zero Gravity Q&A How does Zero Gravity weight management formula help me lose weight? The ingredients in Zero Gravity weight management formula were specifically chosen for their abilities to aid the body in losing fat while maintaining lean mass. Grapefruit, for example, is proven to help reduce fat by inhibiting the enzyme responsible for carbohydrate absorption. In addition, grapefruit peel contains a remarkable compound that eliminates fat cells in human tissue and increases tissue density measured as leanness. Grapefruit pectin has demonstrated ability to lower blood sugar levels in diabetics by reducing carbohydrates entering the bloodstream, which in turn, lessens the amount of sugar being absorbed. Rhodiola rosea and Rhododendron caucasium together help reduce body fat without muscle tissue loss. Zero Gravity's magnolol contains optimal levels of naturally occurring perilipin inhibitors. Preliminary research suggests the Zero Gravity formula can also help minimize stress-related weight gain. Its honokiol from magnolia bark and Rhodiola rosea can help regulate elevated cortisol levels in the body—a factor research has linked to stress-induced eating. What's in Zero Gravity weight management formula? The ingredients in the Zero Gravity formula include whole fruits, sea vegetable extracts and tea infusions of roots, barks and leaves, including whole organic grapefruit concentrate, one of nature's richest sources of antioxidants, bioflavanoids, enzymes and fiber. Will Zero Gravity weight management formula alone make me lose weight? Experts say the best way to lose weight is with a complete approach that begins with a whole foods diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, lean protein (seafood and low-fat meat) and reduced amounts of refined carbohydrates (bread, pasta, cereal, sugar and soft drinks) and processed fats (margarine, vegetable shortening and refined cooking oils). It is also important to drink a minimum of eight glasses of water each day to flush out accumulated toxins and waste material, and get at least 45 minutes of moderate exercise five days a week. In addition to including Zero Gravity in your daily regimen, we also recommend adding Perfect Food® and Super Seed™ supplements to ensure adequate nutrient and fiber intake, as well as Springs of Life® water enhancer to facilitate efficient detoxification and enhance the nutritional value of your water. What makes your Zero Gravity weight management formula better than other weight loss formulas? Zero Gravity contains valuable antioxidants, enzymes, bioflavonoids and fiber shown to benefit overall health. These powerful ingredients are uniquely effective because Zero Gravity supplement is formulated using our proprietary Poten-Zyme™ process to provide maximum nutrient absorption.

Mind/Body Energy > Immune Builders Garden of Life Goatein IG Goat's Milk Protein and Colostrum Contains all Essenial Amino Acids Made by: Garden of Life Volume Discounts Available Goatein IG Goat's Milk Protein and Colostrum Goatein™ IG is a high quality protein powder from goat's milk and the only protein supplement on the market made with goat's milk colostrum. Protein is vital to immune system function, digestion, cell growth and tissue repair. Protein is made up of amino acids, eight of which are considered "essential" because they cannot be manufactured by the body. Goatein IG protein provides all eight in just the right proportions to give your body the complete protein it needs for good health and vitality. The powerful combination of immunoglobulins, peptides and growth factors in Goatein IG protein encourages fat burning, lean muscle growth and cellular rejuvenation. Goatein IG protein is produced from goat's milk that contains no chemicals, antibiotics or female growth hormones. It can be tolerated by many people who cannot digest cow's milk. Additionally, Goatein IG protein is partially predigested using our proprietary Poten-Zyme™ process, which enhances the absorption and bio-availability of nutrients. Of all the nutrients your body needs, protein is among the most important. Give yourself quality protein with Goatein IG. Benefits: • High quality protein powder from goat's milk • Only product available containing goat's milk colostrum • Supports optimal immune function • Contains all eight essential amino acids for good health • Contains immunoglobulins, peptides and growth factors • Goatein goats are not fed pesticides, herbicides, growth • hormones or antibiotics • Easier to digest than cow's milk and substantially less allergenic _______________________________________________________ HELP » Contact Customer Support • Toll-Free help line offering product info and ordering support • Online e-mail technical and installation support _______________________________________________________ Goatein IG Q&A What is colostrum and why is it good for me? A mother's body creates colostrum in the first 24 to 48 hours after giving birth, prior to the production of milk. This life-supporting fluid helps ensure the health and vitality of newborns with germ-fighting immune factors and cell-dividing proteins called growth factors. According to medical research, colostrum offers tremendous therapeutic potential for maintaining overall health and wellness. By supporting healthy immune function, colostrum enables you to resist the harmful effects of pollutants, contaminants and allergens. Its growth factors encourage healthy organisms to burn fat, build lean muscle mass and rejuvenate skin and cellular structures. Why is Goatein™ IG protein easier to digest than cow's milk? The smaller molecules in goat's milk are closer in size and composition to human milk, which make it easier to digest. Goat's milk is substantially less allergenic than cow's milk, so it triggers less reaction, even in sensitive individuals. And, the protein portion of Goatein is predigested through a lactic acid fermentation process that greatly enhances bio-availability without damaging immunoglobulins. This method virtually eliminates lactose. What makes Goatein IG protein better than other goat's milk formulas? Most other milk-based protein powders and colostrums are made from cow's milk, and though they claim to be "minimally processed," some use high temperatures that denature many important amino acids and destroy enzymes and beneficial bacteria. Because Goatein IG protein is processed without acid or excessive heat, the amino acids, enzymes and beneficial bacteria remain in their effective, natural forms. Most other colostrum products are made on farms and shipped hundreds or even thousands of miles for processing. The colostrum in Goatein IG protein is processed and dried while still at the farms, guaranteeing high biological activity. Goatein IG protein is partially predigested using our proprietary Poten-Zyme™ process, which enhances the absorption and bio-availability of nutrients.

RM-10 is a unique blend of tonic mushrooms and herbs chosen for their tremendous value in supporting an already healthy immune system and its components. The blend includes: • Ganoderma lucidum (reishi), a prized mushroom that nourishes • the immune system and supports an already healthy • cardiovascular system. • Cordyceps sinensis, which supports immune system function to • strengthen the body's resistance to bacteria and viruses. • Coriolus versicolor, a mushroom that exhibits powerful • antioxidant capabilities. • Lentinula edodes (shiitake), a mushroom whose extracts have • been shown effective in nourishing the immune system. • Agaricus blazei, brings properties that help maintain proper • cellular development. • Hericium erinaceus, shown effective in supporting the function of • both the immune and respiratory systems. • Poria cocos, an herb valued for its easy assimilation, helps the • body shed surplus fluid and aids digestion. • Tremella fuciformus, helps support already healthy lung function, • maintain physical vitality, maintain mental acuity and replenish • body fluids. • Polyporus umbellatus, a potent immune supporter, antioxidant • and lung and respiratory strengthener. • Aloe vera, an antioxidant effective at reducing inflammation. • Uncaria tomentosa, also known as cat's claw, helps support • already healthy blood pressure and support a normal • inflammatory response.

According to these studies, tonic mushrooms and their extracts like those found in RM-10 can not only increase overall energy and support healthy immune system function, they may also help support healthy cholesterol levels. However, further clinical studies need to be conducted to validate the findings of the preliminary study. What makes the RM-10 formula better than other nutritional immune support formulas? Unlike other formulas that focus on a single compound, RM-10 uses a multi-compound approach. The beneficial effects of the ingredients in RM-10 are greatly enhanced when used in combinations because of the synergistic interactions that occur. In addition, no other formula can match the bio-availability of the immune-enhancing nutrients in tonic mushrooms. Our propriety Poten-Zyme™ fermentation process provides this superior bio-availability.

Every day you're exposed to a multitude of bacteria, viruses and fungi in the environment and in your contact with other people.

Using a combination of natural essential nutrients, it supports the immune system so it can perform its critical function—fighting back. What's in Seasonal Relief caplets? Each Seasonal Relief caplet supplies the following organically grown herbs in essential amounts: • Wild oregano, a powerful and versatile herb. • Ginger juice powder, an herb traditionally used to reduce • nausea. • Olive leaf extract, known for its ability to provide immune • system support. • Horseradish juice powder, for its profound diuretic effect. • Onion/garlic juice powders, used for their effect on non-disease • related inflammation. • Elderflower/elderberry extract, used to bolster immune function. • Echinacea angustifolia extract, used to bolster immune function. • Yarrow, an herb widely used in phytotherapy products in Europe • to support overall good health. • Peppermint, whose oil can reduce nasal passage inflammation • and relieve muscle pain. • Bayberry bark extract, used by Choctaw Indians.

Mind/Body Energy > Living Nutrients Garden of Life Living Vitamin C w/Homeostatic ProtenZyme Vitamin C Made by: Garden of Life Volume Discounts Available Living Vitamin C™ When delivered as a supplement with only one form of the nutrient, vitamin C can fail to provide the maximum level of nutrition. That's why our Living Vitamin C supplement is formulated with a comprehensive blend of potent, whole food concentrates—to give you the many forms and benefits of vitamin C as it's found in nature. As an added advantage, our Living Vitamin C supplement is formulated with our proprietary Poten-Zyme™ process. This process yields Homeostatic Nutrient™ complexes that contain probiotics, antioxidants and enzymes—the co-factors needed to turn ordinary vitamins and minerals into living whole foods that can be effectively absorbed and used by our bodies. Give your body the full spectrum benefits of vitamin C as nature intended with Living Vitamin C. Benefits: • Formulated to deliver all the benefits of vitamin C as found in • nature • Provides 500 mg of vitamin C per serving from a certified • organic, whole food citrus blend of orange, grapefruit, lemon • and lime that includes the fruit, pulp, peel and seeds—the richest • sources of nutrients—as well as acerola cherry, camu camu and • Indian gooseberry • Rich source of antioxidants and trace minerals • Contains the natural co-factors required for optimal nutrient • absorption _______________________________________________________ HELP » Contact Customer Support • Toll-Free help line offering product info and ordering support • Online e-mail technical and installation support _______________________________________________________ Living Vitamin C™ Q&A How does vitamin C benefit my health? Years of scientific research prove that vitamin C influences almost every body function. For example, our formula: • Aids in the production of collagen, the foundation of all • connective tissue. • Acts as a strong antioxidant to slow aging and help maintain • good health. • Promotes hormone synthesis which helps regulate stress and • energy levels. • Promotes iron absorption, which facilitates cellular nutrition • necessary for proper blood cell development. Why do I need to take a vitamin C supplement? Vitamin C is an essential nutrient not manufactured in the body, so it must be obtained through diet or supplements. Our hectic lifestyles can make eating healthy amounts of vitamin C-rich foods like fresh fruits and vegetables a challenge. But with a whole food supplement like Living Vitamin C, you're sure to get the level of vitamin C you need. How do the support nutrients in your Living Vitamin C™ supplement help me? Besides being a rich source of vitamin C, our Living Vitamin C supplement contains a myriad of support nutrients that contribute to overall good health. Probiotics Probiotics are designed to promote the growth of beneficial microorganisms, also called good bacteria, in the gastrointestinal tract. Healthy human intestines contain billions of microorganisms—both good and bad. The good bacteria in the intestine are considered an integral part of your immune system. Many people are unaware that daily exposure to the environment and even certain habits considered healthy—like taking antibiotics, drinking chlorinated water and using antibacterial soap—often kill these good bacteria essential for health. Antioxidants Antioxidants are organic substances found in fruits and vegetables. Antioxidants deactivate free radicals that, if allowed to persist, can cause cell damage. Enzymes Enzymes carry out every chemical reaction in your body, including breaking down nutrients so your body can digest and use them. Without enzymes, even the most balanced natural foods diet would be worthless. Although enzymes are present in all raw foods, they become devitalized in cooked or highly processed foods. Even steaming or microwaving vegetables kills enzymes. When the body receives foods deficient in enzymes, it increases its white blood cells as a defense mechanism, which can weaken the immune system. What makes your Living Vitamin C™ supplement better than other Vitamin C supplements? Unlike supplements that deliver vitamin C in only one nutrient form, Living Vitamin C is a whole food blend formulated to deliver all the benefits of vitamin C found in nature. Living Vitamin C contains: • Certified organic orange, grapefruit, lemon and lime citrus blend • that includes the fruit, pulp, peel and seeds. • Organic cereal grass juices to alkalinize the body and provide • important vitamin, mineral and enzyme co-factors. • Organic trace minerals in their ionic forms to support vitamin C • absorption and usage. • Antioxidant blend of whole raspberry, strawberry, blueberry, • blackberry, prune, and grape fruits, skins and seeds. Additionally, of the many vitamin C supplements on the market, our Living Vitamin C is the only one that creates Homeostatic Nutrient complexes using a process called Poten-Zyme. This proprietary technique unlocks the nutritional effectiveness of whole foods to deliver body ready nutrients where you need them most.

You probably already know calcium helps maintain strong bones and teeth, but you may not be aware of its many other heath benefits. Calcium: • Alkalinizes the body to ensure a healthy pH range. • Maintains the integrity of skin and tissues. • Helps the body maintain already normal blood pressure. • Helps support already healthy cholesterol and triglycerides. • Regulates the entry of nutrients into the body's cells. Why should I take a calcium supplement? Calcium is an "essential" nutrient, which means it is not produced by the body and must be acquired through diet or supplements. If you don't get enough calcium, your body will drain it from your bones, which can make them weak and prone to osteoporosis. What are Homeostatic Nutrient™ complexes? Homeostatic Nutrient complexes are vitamins and minerals that have been liberated and made more potent with probiotic microorganisms and their by-products. The process of turning ordinary vitamins and minerals into living "whole food" structures enables them to be more efficiently utilized by our bodies. What makes Living Calcium™ better than other calcium supplements? In contrast to single nutrient calcium supplements, Living Calcium contains all the co-factors necessary for proper assimilation: vitamin C, vitamin D, iodine, zinc, magnesium, boron, copper and manganese. The magnesium and other minerals in Living Calcium are not isolated, but are part of a blend of 70 beneficial ionic ocean and fulvic acid-based minerals. Additionally, of the many calcium supplements on the market, Living Calcium is the only one that creates Homeostatic Nutrient™ complexes using a process called Poten-Zyme. This proprietary technique unlocks the nutritional effectiveness of whole foods to deliver body ready nutrients where you need them most.

Pool water will retain constant low-levels of ph-balanced chlorine that purifies the water while making it soft and silky to the touch. Pool Pilot leaves hair and skin feeling luxurious!!! Autopilot. Improving on Mother Nature! The Energy SuperMarket's most innovative product, this revolutionary design is so ingenious and effective - plus offers such great potential benefit for use in protecting the environment and human health it has earned a Five star plus rating in our Consumer Value guide! Plus... The Energy SuperMarket offers the lowest on-line factory direct pricing available! Guaranteed . AutoPilot - since 1978 the leading manufacturer of the world's most effective salt-chlorine generators! As the most innovative developer of all-natural alternatives, AutoPilot has led the way toward providing a lifestyle free of pool maintenance! “Not only are all the harsh chemical side-affects eliminated, you can actually FEEL the water's silky smoothness!!!” ____________________________________________________ Soft Touch versus Digital Display Functional Comparison The primary differences between the "Soft Touch" models and the "Digital Display" models are found in the microprocessor's function, the extent of pool water analysis, and also in the manner of prompting the pool owner with instructions. The Soft Touch [shown above] "no-frills" models incorporate the standard push-button controls, plus LED read-outs that offer accurate at-a-glance salt-levels. The Soft Touch models offer all the benefits of salt-chlorine generation at a reasonable budget-minded cost. The Digital Display [shown above] "customer friendly" upgraded models incorporate a new style of simplified push-button controls, plus extra-bright vacuum type fluorescent digital read-outs that accurately displays both current water temperature and salt level, plus monitors water flow and total hours of conversion cell usage. But the most popular and functional feature designed into each of the three Digital Display models operation is providing the pool owner with a handy digital read-out showing the proper amount of salt that needs to be added to the pool water [shown below]. PLUS the Digital Display models all come with a built-in time clock for controlling the pool pump, which is an excellent way to save the cost and hassle of installing a timer unit on new pool installations! ____________________________________________________ • TOTAL FREEDOM Never purchase Chlorine again. Never transport Chlorine again. And never smell that awful Chlorine odor again!!! PLUS... A Pool Pilot combined with an automated pool cleaning device can eliminate the need for Pool Maintenance Service! The Pool Pilot system pays for itself in chemicals savings alone! • TOTAL SIMPLICITY Install it. Then forget it. Once an optimum level of operation is achieved, the only task required is to hit the boost cycle when weather conditions are extreme or the pool experiences unusually heavy use. The Pool Pilot insures a constant low chlorine level which eliminates the wide fluctuations of over-and-under chlorination. And the Pool Pilot drastically reduces the need to monitor, purchase, and add other balancing or maintenance chemicals. So, imagine having a "company perfect" pool everyday - and never worrying about pool maintenance while on vacation. • TOTAL PURITY Salt is natural. It comes from the Earth. Salt is economical and available everywhere. It is also eco-friendly - plus the salt-to-chlorine conversion is energy efficient! A wonderful thing happens to the salt after it is turned into low-level chlorine and does the work of sanitizing you pool water - it turns back into salt and the process begins all over again. But the best part is that the salt content of the pool water is at a much lower level than contact lens solution used with the human eye; so harmless there is not even a detectable salty taste to the water!!! » See HELPFUL Q & A - Information regarding Pool Pilot use ____________________________________________________ INNOVATION – Pool Pilot Soft Touch's exclusive process : The salt-chlorine generation process naturally, economically, safely, and effectively controls all the harmful micro-organism growth in the pool water... reducing toxic levels of Chlorine use by scientifically generating its own nature-based salt chlorine at constant, sustainable low levels ! Simply pour salt directly into the pool water - it dissolves quickly. When the ions in salt are passed over specially coated blades in the Pool Pilot's conversion cell and induced with a low voltage electrical charge, the ions are converted into naturally generated chlorine. When this process is incorporated into a swimming pool's filtration system, it creates a natural low level chlorine generator. The Pool Pilot reduces up to 80% of all the costly chemicals needed to kill unsafe algae and bacteria in pool water - chemicals that also can cause serious damage to the earth's delicate ecosystem. And more importantly , according to a recent study by Greenpeace, exposure to Chlorine gas during swimming may result in several heightened human health concerns including neurological problems in children, breast cancer, deformities, and infertility. See Below* • The Pool Pilot is so rugged and effective it was chosen exclusively • to serve as Carnival Cruise Line's onboard pool purifier system! • Designed to operate under the most demanding 24/7 high-volume • use, the Pool Pilot units easily stand up to use with pure sea water! So try a POOL PILOT Soft Touch and enjoy feeling the water's silky smoothness that comes with a naturally pure, chemically-free swimming pool experience!!!

Pool Heaters > Solar Heaters > Aboveground > EZ Heat > Basic Harter Industries Optional EZHeat Rack Hold-Down Kit For: Attaching Mat Panels to Ground Rack EZ Heat Rack Hold-Down Kit - Model: EZ1019 Product Application: To be used with EZ Heat Solar Pool Heaters Product Function: Includes the necessary clamps and adhesive to secure the system to a rack or sloping surface. Approximate shipping weight 11lbs EZ Heat Rack Hold-Down Kit Installation Instructions: If you are mounting your solar system on a sloping roof or rack, follow these steps to fasten it to the surface: a. After sweeping the roof surface to remove loose particles, unroll the solar system and locate it with the inlet connection as close to the roof eve as possible. b . Attach the absorber sections to the roof with Solarbond mastic adhesive. The 29 oz. cartridges fit a quart size caulking gun [not included]. c. Starting wit the top absorber section, turn it up and apply a bead of mastic, one foot from the header pipe and 18inches apart thereafter. Turn over the mat section with the mastic against the roof and firmly press the absorber into the mastic by pressing down hard against the webs between the tubes. Important: Keep all beads in line down the roof to allow rainwater to run under the collector surface so the mastic does not form a dam. If the roof is steep and the absorber sections slide down, they may be held in place until the mastic sets, by using a staple gun. Drive 5/6” staples every 3 to 4 feet. Be careful not to puncture the tubes. Hold the nose of the staple gun against the side of the tube, pressing down against the web between the tubes. The staples do not penetrate he shingles and will rust and disappear in a few weeks. Use two of the Header Hold-Down Clamps to fasten the header pipes to the roof at each end of the solar system. Use 1-inch long, ¼-inch stainless steel or plated lag bolts to fasten the clamp assembly to the roof. Drill with a 3/16” pilot hole. If the hole penetrates the roof, fill it and the space under the clamp with a high quality silicone sealer to prevent roof leaks.

Guarantee and liability is limited to the full purchase price. _________________________________________________________ HELP » Contact Customer Support • Toll-Free help line offering product info and ordering support • Online e-mail technical and installation support _________________________________________________________ Product Science: Water is a "carrier vessel" of hard water minerals due to the naturally equal ionic (electric) charge between the minerals and the water. The minerals dissolve in the earth and are transmitted by the water to all parts of the internal surface of the plumbing where they scrape along to re-crystallize and reform the hard rock scale (A). This scaling is naturally progressed at all heating surfaces in the water heater. When water is magnetically charged, it electrically takes on a greater ionic charge than the minerals which creates a natural magnetic attraction between the two. The magnetization then attracts and locks the dissolved minerals into the water creating healthy and cost free descaling (B). Softening and better taste occurs from an actual reduction in the size of the water molecule. It is similar to a bucketful of rocks the size of pebbles versus the size of sand. The pebbles will bang around like rocks while the sand will pour like water. The small magnetized water molecule has a greater solvency and a magnetic attraction that results in cleaner bathing and washing which cleans and washes like soft water. This saves on soaps, shampoos, and detergents. The smaller molecular size also has less evaporaitive surface area which magnetically and dramatically reduces the gases and foul taste of sulfur, chlorine and fluoride, etc. Acid neutralization occurs from the physical restructuring of the water molecule. The acid taste is reduced while the copper leaching is stopped and the green acid stains eventually and completely wash away. Installation Location: The Aqua-DOC is simply strapped around the return line before the water enters the pool or spa. The Aqua-Doc can be installed on either PVC, copper, iron or flex pipe. Installation in Tandem Series: Some Aqua-DOC models are designed to be installed in tandem with other units. Each Aqua-DOC unit consists of two halves which surround the pipe. Some models consist of four or six half units. These models are designed to be mounted in tandem with a spacing of 1 3/4\" between each unit. ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ Installation Instructions: Testing - Check water hardness and total alkalinity for proper levels. If you do not have the proper test equipment to perform the tests, most pool equipment stores will run the tests for you. Hardness should be in the 150-250 range. Total alkalinity should be 90 ppm for plaster pools and 100 ppm for vinyl, acrylic, painted and fiberglass. If the hardness is above the 150-250 ppm range, alkalinity should be reduced with acid. This table shows the proper level for alkalinity based on the amount of hardness. For example, if the hardness is 500 ppm the alkalinity should be 70-80 ppm. This is the most important adjustment to be made to ensure the Aqua-DOC works properly. Readings higher than those recommended will still work, but readings lower than recommended may cause expensive damage to equipment. Running the Pump - The recycling pump should be run continually for at least 24 to 48 hours after installing the Aqua-DOC to ensure water is fully conditioned. After the initial period, the recycling pump should be run a minimum of 2 hours a day for a spa and 6 hours for a pool application. Longer recycling periods may be necessary depending on swimmer load. Sanitizer Level - Chlorine/bromine levels should be at the normal recommended levels during the first few weeks the system is clarifying itself. After that, the residual may be reduced in a private pool or spa to about 1/2 of the normal recommended amount. For commercial systems, follow the health department requirements. The Filter - Clean or backwash the filter after installing the Aqua-DOC. Watch filter pressure since Aqua-DOC will start to coagulate solids, minerals, algae, etc. that are in the water into large enough clumps to be filtered out. This could clog the filter and raise filter pressure to a dangerous level. Since Aqua-DOC increases the efficiency of the filter, it should be backwashed or cleaned more frequently than usual. Scale Removal - Scale and calcium will start to dissolve and return to suspension in the water. This may cause a period of cloudy water for a few days. Relax and wait for the enhanced filtration of the Aqua-DOC to clarity the system. Maintenance - Keeping the filter clean and maintaining the proper sanitizer (chlorine/bromine) level will ensure that the pool or spa water stays clean and sanitary with the least work. Trouble Shooting - If you are having any problems with your water staying clear and bright, first check the filter and the sanitizer level. Clean or backwash the filter and raise the sanitizer residual to the recommended level. If the problem persists, check the total alkalinity. If alkalinity is more that 10 ppm above the recommended range, problems can arise. If alkalinity is too high, reduce it with the application of acid. Follow your water professional\'s recommendations on the amount and method to apply. Other Chemicals - If other chemicals are needed with the Aqua-DOC system, start with 1/2 the normal amount before adding more. In most cases, less than 1/2 the normal amount will suffice. Water Balance - To properly balance your water, start by testing calcium hardness and total alkalinity. If hardness is below 15O-250 ppm. Raise total alkalinity to 90 ppm using bicarbonate of soda. Next, raise calcium hardness using calcium chloride. If hardness is above 250 ppm. Find the hardness reading on the index scale and read total alkalinity opposite it in the alkalinity column. Raise total alkalinity, if necessary , using bicarbonate of soda. If total alkalinity is already above the ideal reading for the corresponding hardness level, use acid to reduce alkalinity to the level opposite your hardness reading. Follow your local water professional\'s recommendation on the amount of acid to apply and the proper method. Using the Aqua-DOC system, pH can be allowed to float between 7.2 to 8.2. _______________________________________________________ Delivery Information: Please allow 3 to 5 business days for orders to be processed, plus standard transportation delivery time. ____________________________________________________________ Our Star Rating system is the direct result of experience with well over 4000 actual units in the field in the homes of our customers.

Parts & Supplies > Pool Heaters > Solar Heaters > Controls Heliotrope Pool Heliotrope TradeWind Pool/Spa Automation Package w/Spa AutoPrioritizer Model: HM-5000P Tradewind™ Controller - Manufactured by Heliotrope Pool Model: HM-5000P From now you can keep your spa warmer than your solar installed pool with the revolutionary Tradewind™ HM500P Controller. Here's the unit that actually lets you automatically prioritize heating your spa. How is this possible? A typical pool/spa combination is equipped with two "Jandy/Compool" type-three-way valves. These valves let you manually control the filtration pump's flow to either the pool or spa. Now, it is possible, with the Tradewind™ Controller to automatically prioritize the hot water flow to the spa until the water reaches the pre-set temperature. Imagine setting a temperature for the pool and also another for the spa...with a touch of a dial! After the spa is warm enough, the solar flow then goes to the pool. Also, to preserve the spa's warm temperature, when solar is not being collected for the spa, the valves return to the position for all pumped flow going to the pool only. This feature prevents the spa from being cooled-down when the filtration pump is running and there is no solar heater water available for the spa. ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ The Tradewind™ is used in a separate enclosure from the HM-400C Helio-Matic® Controller, and is interconnected for logic status. The Tradewind™ Controller is enclosed inside a weather-proof enclosure and comes with two 24V motorizes actuators that fit on top of the two manual valves, plus tow temperature sensors for monitoring the spa temperature and the collector temperature. The Tradewind™ may be used as a retrofit to any exisiting system with a HM-400C Controller. Almost nothing is more relaxing that a nice warm spa. After investing thousands of dollars in a solar system, it's worth a little more to enjoy a spa that is held to as warm temperature as possible. No one is more deserving of a priority heated spa than the owner of an environmentally positive, solar heated pool. ____________________________________________________ Function: Keeps the spa at its own set temperature by over-riding the pool controller, allowing the water stored in the collectors to reach the Spa. Benefits: Maximizes your swimming pleasure! Product Applications: • To be used with solar pool heaters for residential pools and spas • May be used as a retrofit to an exisitng system with a HM-400C • co ntroller Product Specifications: • HM5000P Controller • Weather-proof enclosure • Two 24V motorized actuators • Spa drain sensor assembly • Roof sensor pack Product Warranty: • Controller: Free replacement within the first five years. • 5th - 10th year: replacement charge is no more than 1/2 • of suggested retail price • Actuator: 1 year warranty Product Manufacturer: Heliotrope Pool ____________________________________________________ HELP » Contact Customer Support • Toll-Free help line offering unit selection and sizing support • Online e-mail technical and installation support ____________________________________________________ Delivery Information: Please allow 3 to 5 business days for orders to be processed, plus standard transportation delivery time.

Parts & Supplies > Pool Heaters > Solar Heaters > Collectors Vacuum Breaker For draining solar system The Vacuum Breaker is used with solar pool heater collectors to break the vacuum, by letting air into the system, and allow the solar panels to drain when the pump is turned off. Sizes: • 1-1/2" Nominal; 1-7/8 Actual O.D. [fits inside the 1-1/2 Rubber • Coupling] • 2" Nominal; 2-3/8 Actual O.D. [fits inside the 2" Rubber Coupling] Product Warranty: 1 Year Manufacturer Warranty Instructions: Insert the vacuum breaker in place of the upper end cap, tighten with hose clamp. For proper drainage to occur, the feed line must run downhill to the 3-way valve. The 3-way valve must be open or “non-positive seal.” A positive seal may be converted by removing the seal from the diverter or drilling a 3/16” hole in the center of the diverter inside the 3-way valve. You may also leave the “positive seal” 3-way valve open slightly to achieve the same results. A typical solar panel roof kit should look like the diagram below when finished. It may vary based on the actual layout. When needing to isolate the solar, and still run the pump, an isolation ball valve will need to be installed on the solar feed line to the solar to achieve total shutdown capabilities. _______________________________________________________ HELP » Contact Customer Support • Toll-Free help line offering unit sizing support • Online e-mail technical and installation support • Brand and cost-of-operation comparisons _______________________________________________________ FREE SHIPPING!

Parts & Supplies > Pool Heaters > Solar Heaters > Mounting Universal Butterfly Clip For Retaining Strapping and Mounting Panels onto Surface Stainless Steel Butterfly Clips are used for fastening solar pool heater panels to roof or rack and to hold down the retaining straps onto roof or rack. A typical solar panel roof kit should look like the diagram below when finished. It may vary based on the actual layout. Header Clip Instructions: Verify that the panels are in position. Using your solar pool heater measurement chalk lines, make sure the top edge of the header is parallel to the horizontal line and the left edge of the very first panel is on the vertical line. Then mark the horizontal line directly above the center of the top Rubber Coupling. Apply a generous amount of sealant to the bottom of the Stainless Header Clip, and position it on this mark with the lip end facing the panel. Using the drill and the 3/8” nut driver, install a Stainless #14x1½” 3/8 Hex Screw through the hole in the middle of the Header Clip into the roof until tight. The Clip should be tight, but be sure not to strip the screw in the wood. Also be sure the lip on the Clip is square against the Rubber Coupling. Apply a small amount of sealant over the head of the screw. Open the last Hose Clamp and slip the end down through the Stainless Header Clip [slotted end with a lip] and around the under side of the Rubber Coupling. Close the Hose Clamp and tighten snugly around the Rubber Coupling so that it is firmly seated against the lip of the Header Clip as shown in the Side View image above. Note: Do Not attach the bottom header to the roof with a clamp and clip; this is to allow for expansion and contraction; securing the header will result in damaging the panel and will void the warranty. Strap Clip Instructions: Each Strap Clip is installed like the Header Clips, except that the slots face left to right [with no regard to which side the lip faces]. Space them equally between each panel absorber and install with sealant and a Stainless #14x1½” 3/8 Hex Screw. The Strap is then threaded through each side of each Strap Clip from left to right.

Parts & Supplies > Pool Heaters > Solar Heaters > Mounting Tapcon Screw For Fastening Butterfly Clip onto Barrel or Flat Concrete Tile 1-1/4" Tapcon Hex Head Screws are used with solar pool heaters to fasten mounting hardware to Barrel or Flat Concrete Tile, or Concrete Roofs. The mounting hardware is attached to the tile using Tapcon Screws. This requires drilling a pilot hole in the tile before inserting the screw. Use a 3/16” masonry drill bit. DO NOT drill into the substrate below the tile; doing so will cause a roof leak. The mounting screws should be positioned 1” to 2” above the bottom edge of the tile. This will allow a space between the tile and the substrate due to the overlap in the tiles. On barrel tile roofs, try to lay out the panels so that the mounting holes fall on the tops of the barrel tile. This can be accomplished by using 6” rubber couplings where additional spacing is required; cut the coupling to the correct length.

Mind/Body Energy > Enlightenment Garden of Life Restoring Your Digestive Health By Jordan S. Rubin, N.M.D. and Joseph Brasco, M.D. Restoring Your Digestive Health by Jordan S. Rubin N.M.D. and Joseph Brasco, M.D. How the Guts and Glory Program Can Transform Your Life! Not long ago, Crohn’s disease nearly ended Jordan Rubin’s life. A once healthy teenager, Jordan began experiencing the debilitating effects of the painful and potentially fatal wasting intestinal illness, with his ravaged body eventually falling prey to some eighteen other serious ailments. In desperation, he consulted more than seventy medical experts in seven countries, and tried hundreds of nutritional supplements, with no results. Finally, without hope or recourse, Jordan took his health into his own hands, researching and refining a revolutionary wellness program based on a more historically and biologically correct diet, including the use of fermented foods and homeostatic soil organisms [HSO’s], an often-overlooked but critical component of our ancestor’s primitive diet. Within months of beginning the program, Jordan Rubin’s health improved to a remarkable degree, and today he is in peak physical condition, completely free of disease or medications of any kind. He calls his regimen the Guts and Glory Program , but if you suffer from Crohn’s disease, irritable bowl syndrome, acid reflux, chronic candida, food allergies, or any of a host of other digestive or systemic disorders, you’ll call it amazing . Simple, natural, and true to our bodies’ unique biology, the immensely healthful Guts and Glory dietary program can make a tremendous difference in your life. The Guts and Glory Program helps heal: • Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis • Irritable bowel syndrome [IBS] • Gluten and lactose intolerance • Candida [yeast] infections • Food allergies • Recurring or persistent nausea • Chronic constipation • Urinary track infections • And many other serious ailments Jordan Rubin has traveled a long and painful journey, and now he wants to help you onto the road to better health! In Restoring Your Digestive Health, Jordan shares the secrets of his victory with supporting findings by Dr. Joseph Brasco. In this important book you’ll learn: • How fermented foods and soil based organisms are vital to good • health—and why they\'re missing from today\'s diets. • How a \"primitive\" lifestyle offers very modern health benefits. • How to find and prepare delicious meals the primitive way. • Which dietary supplements can help—and which to avoid.

NOx emissions are less than 40 nanograms per joule. VIEW » What is NOx? • Fan Assisted Combustion The Raypak Digital Low NOx is design uses a fan to deliver cool, controlled combustion air to the sealed burners. Other brands use a fan to pull hot flue gases through the heater. The Raypak design allows the RP2100 to outperform others during cold starts and provides longer component life. Wind Resistant • Built-in Wind Resistant Design The Raypak Digital has the best outdoor design in the market today. With over 50 years in designing and building gas heaters, Raypak has put all that experience into its Raypak Digital design. No need for fans to combat drafting problems, the Raypak Digital was designed for outdoor installations with its exclusive low profile design. It is so thoughtfully and carefully designed it actually protects itself from the things that tend to stifle ordinary pool and spa heaters: falling leaves, wind, airborne debris, rain, downdrafts, updrafts, sleet, snow, etc. In fact it is so efficiently designed it ensures uninterrupted heating performance regardless of all but the most extreme weather conditions. Cabinet • Smart Design One look will tell you that the Raypak Digital is different! The look is contemporary. The design is advanced. And inside and out it's engineered to last. The attractive forest green and charcoal gray panels complement the latest pool and spa equipment designs. Raypak's original "pagoda top" design will keep the Raypak Digital operating even in extreme wind conditions and downdrafts. • Polytuff Powder Coating The Raypak Digital has a polyester coated, non-corrosive cabinet that is more durable than solventborne and waterborne coated metal cabinets. Every piece of sheet metal that gets powder coated goes through a 7-stage wash system making certain the powder paint has a perfect bond. Underneath the tough and beautiful finish you will find galvanized metal that offers superior rust prevention and years of durable service. Non-Corrosive Waterways • Polymer Header The Raypak Digital incorporates the latest in header design technology. Raypak's state-of-the-art engineering department utilized the latest in 3-D computer aided design to engineer the part for optimal performance. Polymer resin headers prevent rust stains from harming your pools surface giving you years of trouble-free swimming pleasure • All Copper Fin Tube Heat Exchanger All Raypak Digital gas heaters come standard with integral copper finned tube. This means that the fin tubing is made from one piece of extruded copper tube. Since the fins are integral to the tube, maximum heat transfer is attained. Every Raypak Digital has the same robust design tube bundle that we use in our large gas commercial boilers. • Unitherm Governor Raypak engineered the Unitherm Governor specifically for pool heater applications, regulating low temperature incoming water, to help reduce condensation. The Unitherm Governor automatically regulates the water flow to help keep the water temperature in the heat exchanger above 105°F. Both water temperature and water flow rate are controlled to eliminate condensation, sooting, and scale buildup that can shorten heater life. • Automatic Bypass No need to worry about large pumps or high flow systems. The Raypak Digital comes with an automatic bypass built into the header. You'll find that the Raypak Digital delivers the industry's lowest pressure drop and highest water flow rate - up to 125 gallons per minute - exceeding the maximum recommended for 2" plumbing systems. More hot water moves through faster and more efficiently. • Stainless Steel Tube Sheet Stainless steel tube sheets are used on all Raypak Digital heaters that use the Polymer resin headers. This allows for a completely nonferrous waterway leaving your pool truly rust-free. • CPVC 2" Water Connections Standard with every Raypak Digital is a set of 2" slip fit CPVC water connections to make your installation secure and effortless. • Fuel Efficient Efficient? You bet. Energy-smart Raypak heaters consistently achieve the highest efficiency ratings and the Raypak Digital is no exception. It exceeds all federal and state standards. Combustion Chamber • Burner Tray Every Raypak Digital burner tray is built to last. From the stainless steel burners to the aluminized metal used in the heat sensitive areas. In the event that anything should happen to your burners they can be quickly and easily serviced. One more reason why the Raypak Digital is made to take the work load year after year. • Fire Tile A ceramic fiber combustion box keeps your Raypak Digital running efficiently and keeps the outside jacket cool. By using this space-age material the Raypak Digital won't retain residual heat after it is turned off, allowing it to be installed without the use of costly metal heat sinks. Quality • ISO 9001 Raypak is proud to be an ISO 9001 registered manufacturing plant. One more reason why Raypak is number one in the heater industry today. • End-of-Line Test Every Raypak gas pool heater is plumbed and test fired before it is put in the carton. This ensures that your heater will fire right out of the box and continue to give you years of trouble-free operation. • Quality Checkpoints The Raypak assembly process includes 6 final assembly quality checkpoints that help to ensure that each and every Raypak Digital is built correctly, and built to last. • CSA Certified All of Raypaks products are CSA certified. The RP2100 is tested by CSA to the ANSI Z21.56 standard. • Microprocessor Controlled Thermostat The Raypak Digital gas heater comes with a microprocessor based thermostat control. This control allows you to set your pool or spa temperature precisely at your favorite setting just by pressing an up or down temperature control button. The Digital display gives you a constant read out of your pool water temperature. Just set it, and forget it! Truly simple. • Self Diagnostic Troubleshooting a gas heater has never been easier. The Raypak Digital has on-board diagnostic controls that let the user and the service professional know what is going on with the heater at all times. In the event that you would ever have a problem with the heater, the digital display will show where the problem is in the control circuit. It's like having a service technician built into every heater! • Remote Compatible The Raypak is compatible with most major pool control and remote systems on the market today. Any two-wire or three-wire remote can connect to the Raypak Digital and be integrated into the pool control system of your choice. • Electronic Ignition Raypak Digital heaters come standard with intermittent spark ignition pilot safety controls. What this means is that the pilot only comes on when there is a call for heat. This is a more energy efficient way to control you heaters gas usage by not having a standing pilot. Raypak has been using the same reliable electronic pilot ignition design for over 20 years.

Spa Accessories UV Clear Systems UV Clear Ultra Violet Pool/Spa Sanitizer Made by: UV Clear Systems UV Clear® Ultra Violet Pool Sanitizer Models: 15000, 25000, 50000 The Clear Solution!!! Swimming pools and spas are perfect places for relaxing, fitness and recreation. Unfortunately, they are also perfect breeding grounds for bacteria, viruses, algae and other primitive organisms. Until recently the only way to "clean" pool water was by adding high doses of chlorine or other chemicals. All these have major disadvantages; they are poisonous, aggressive, unhealthy and uncomfortable to humans and the environment. Now there is an alternative that has none of these side effects, UV-C treatment. You can strongly enhance the treatment of pool and hot tub water and significantly lower levels of chemical sanitizers like chlorine, bromine and biguanides. Imagine swimming in less chemicals, without the irritations, offensive odors and other disadvantages from high dosing of chemical sanitizers. Stop imagining. Install UV Clear® Pool Sanitizer for new construction or for existing pools and raise the bar for water quality with an available technology that is simply, better. Start enjoying the benefits of UV Clear Pool Sanitizer today How UV-Clear Pool Sanitizers Work? Let's begin with your pool equipment. In order for your pool water to be cleaned it must be circulated. The pool pump is the source for circulating the pool water. The pump draws water from the pool and is directed to the filter. The filter does exactly what it is named for. It traps particles and debris. After the water is filtered it is directed to your UV Clear Pool Sanitizer. The filtered water enters the inlet of the UV Clear System. Water flows through the length of the UV chamber. It is inside the chamber that microorganisms absorb powerful UV light. It is this light energy that destroys or inactivates these 'bugs'. A majority of residential pool owners use some form of chlorine to sanitize the water. They normally maintain anywhere from 1 part per million to 3 part per million [ppm] in chlorine. With the addition of UV Clear® Systems you can now save up to 70% in the cost of chlorine. Wouldn't it be encouraging to know that you can rely on your UV Clear® System when the sanitizer level falls below the norm? Once the water leaves the UV chamber it is returned to your pool. Many pools have a chlorine feeder which can be metered so you can control the level of chlorine. The amount of chlorine in the pool water is called sanitizer residual. We have field studies and reports from customers that are maintaining their chlorine residual at 0.3 part per million [ppm], 0.5 ppm and 1.0 ppm. It's possible that your drinking water could have a chlorine reading higher than.3 ppm. Pool owners that have sensitivity issues toward chlorine can now enjoy the benefits of UV Clear® System by maintaining a lower than normal chlorine residual. If given a choice wouldn't you rather swim in less chemicals anyway?

For example, after the water is filtered the valve can split the flow to allow most of the water to flow through the UV chamber and the remainder of the water to be treated by a chlorine feeder or generator. Just run the pump for as long as it takes to turn the water over at least once every day. Your UV Clear® System for residential swimming pool applications has 2” union fittings. If your PVC pipe is 1½”, you will need a bushing, which will reduce the opening to accommodate your existing plumbing. For 120 volt models a molded plug is standard. You have the option to plug into an existing GFCI [Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter] receptacle for continuous operation or connect the wiring to the pump’s automatic timer. Consult a qualified electrician that services pool, hot tubs or spas for installing a GFCI and for connecting to an automatic pump timer . 240 Volt models have terminal ends. If you are not familiar with or confused about electrical connections always consult a qualified electrician that services swimming pools. For larger pools that hold over 50,000 gallons, multiple units can be installed in series or parallel to each other Customizing A System For Your Pool In cases where the pool does not match or exceeds the recommended maximum gallons, multiple units can be installed in series. Any 2 units can be fitted together as long as they are the same voltage. For example, Two 15,000 units can treat up to a 30,000 gallon pool or combine a 15,000 with a 25,000 to treat a 40,000 gallon pool. To connect multiple units in series, use a 2.25 inch length of PVC pipe.

A: Ultraviolet light is found in the electromagnetic spectrum between visible light and x-ray. The UV spectrum is arbitrarily subdivided into three bands: UV-A long wave [320-400 nanometers], UV-B medium wave [280-320nm], and UV-C short wave [100-320nm]. Ultraviolet light has been used for over 60 years as a reliable means of disinfecting process water. It is widely used within the beverage and bottled water industry, food industry, water treatment plants, industrial and municipal wastewater, aquaculture, hospitals, fish farms, pharmaceutical manufacturing companies, swimming pools and spas. UV applications are quick, effective and economical. Q: How does UV Clear® work? A: Water is conducted through the chamber of the device where it is exposed to the UV-C band, also known as the germicidal range. At 253.7 nanometers, the light penetrates cell walls of bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms, altering the DNA or the RNA as in the case of viruses. This process inactivates cells so they are no longer able to replicate. A cell that can no longer reproduce is considered dead. Using UV-C is a chemical free disinfection method that can also deplete chloramines. Organic pollutants and chloramines [a disinfectant by product of chlorine], is often the cause of odor detected in pools and spas. Q: Is it safe for bathers and the environment? A: UV Clear® does not emit chemicals into the water and does not impart taste or odor. We are setting an industry standard to help protect you and your loved ones from bacteria, viruses and germs without the skin and eye irritations most commonly found by overdosing your pool with chemicals. With UV Clear®, you can remain in the water while the water is being disinfected. Enjoy swimming in a cleaner, safer and more natural environment with UV Clear®. Q: How is UV-C different from ozone generators? A: The short wave UV-C band from the lamp provides a strong germicidal effect as water flows through the reactor chamber. Our systems do not form ozone. UV Clear® Systems is cost effective, safe, easy to operate, easy to install, uses less components, is efficient and requires little maintenance or monitoring. We have found that UV Clear® Systems works with ozone generators for noticeable clearer water. This advanced oxidation method is implemented for treating water at municipal and industrial levels. Q: Is it easy to use and maintain? A: With UV Clear® Systems, pool and spa owners' demands for simplicity are met. The quartz glass sleeve that shields the lamp from water needs to be cleaned once or twice a year. UV Clear® Systems can offer peace of mind with continuous operation even when sanitizer residual levels fall below normal. Q: Is chlorine necessary? A: Chlorine residual is necessary with the use of our system. The addition of UV Clear® Systems to a chlorinated system will allow bathers to achieve a suitable level of sanitizing while using significantly less chlorine and additional chemicals. Q: When do the lamps need to be replaced? A: The useful lamp life is 9,000 hours. If hardwired to the pump's automatic timer and operates for 8 hours daily, then the lamp should be replaced in 3 years. If the pump operates 12 hours daily, then replace the lamp in 2 years. If the lamp operates continuously, then replace the lamp in 1 year. Q: How is the system installed? A: The units are plumbed in-line or installed as a by-pass unit with the pool's filtration system. Install after the filter and before the heater. Head over to the Installation Page for a more detailed explanation. Q: What is the flow rate? A: A common industry benchmark is 90% kill on first pass for E-coli. A typical one HP pool pump can cycle about 4,200 gallons per hour (approx. 66gpm), with a head pressure of 60 ft. of water, or 26 psi. Based on these figures, one 15,000 unit per 15,000 gallons of pool capacity is recommended. Q: Does UV Clear® work with traditional and alternative chemical feeders and generators? A: UV Clear® works with chlorine and bromine generators, salt water generators, mineralizers, ionizers and with ozone generators for advanced oxidation. Chlorination is still widely used but, with the addition of UV Clear® and low chlorine residual this system should be embraced by bathers that prefer to swim or soak in a more natural environment. Q: Why do the openings oppose each other on the housing? A: Water flows in the path of least resistance. The opposed positioning of the inlet and outlet was designed for the mixing of water flowing through the chamber. Q: Will UV degrade chlorine? A: UV from the sun optimally degrades free chlorine in the UV-B [medium wave] wavelength around 290 nanometers. UV-C effectively degrades monochloramine [a disinfectant by product of chlorine]. Remember that UV Clear® works in the UV-C or short wavelength found in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Product Service and Maintenance: The Cell is installed with Unions on each end of the cell to allow quick and easy removal. Loosen the unions and remove the cell from the plumbing. Visual Cell Inspection: The titanium Cell blades, seen inside the Cell body, should be straight and clear of any debris between the blades. Your Pool Pilot is designed to automatically self-clean calcium scale build up within the Cell. This is seen as a white flaky or crusty build-up on the edges or between the blades and will pre-maturely deplete the life of the cell. Certain conditions can cause a heavier scale build up that exceeds the self-cleaning capability and would need to be cleaned manually by the method described below. We recommend using Lo-Chlor Salt Cell Protector Plus as a preventive additive to help soften and reduce the build-up of scale deposits in the cell. Lo-Chlor also reduces scale on exposed aggregate and new pool finishes and enhances chlorine production. Manual Cell Cleaning: With the Cell removed as described above, use a high-pressure hose nozzle to spray off as much loose scale and debris as possible. Any remaining calcium scale can be treated with a mixture of one (1) part Muriatic Acid into four (4) parts water. Mix the solution in a pail, high enough to cover the Cell blades. Remove the Cell cord and immerse the Cell so that the blades are completely covered in the solution for no more than 15 minutes intervals. Drain and flush with fresh water and re-inspect. Repeat the immersion if necessary. CAUTION: ALWAYS ADD ACID TO WATER, never water to acid. NEVER USE ANY SHARP OBJECTS TO REMOVE SCALE. Scraping or scratching the titanium blade’s edge or surface will allow chemical attack of the blade and cause premature failure of the Cell and will void your warranty. Filter Backwashing: We recommend turning off the circuit breaker on the Professional when backwashing the circulation. Troubleshooting Problem Cause Solution Scale Build-up within the Cell. The water being purified contains high pH, total alkalinity and calcium hardness levels. Calculate Langelier's index to assure balanced water. Adjust chemicals if needed and clean the Cell as described above. DC Plug and Cell Terminals Burned. The Cell plug is not securely pushed onto the cell terminals, allowing moisture to seep into the plug. The Cell terminals leak. Ensure the Cell cord plug is pressed completely onto the Cell terminal. Check the terminals and clean with a dry cloth to remove dirt and corrosion. Contact the factory for Warranty Status/Procedures. Premature Cell Failure (Requires Replacement Cell). Abnormally high Cell usage due to an insufficient Stabilizer (Cyanuric acid) level. Debris in the Cell. Check the stabilizer level as recommended and adjust. Inspect the Cell monthly and clean debris if needed. White Flakes in the Water. This occurs when excessive calcium hardness is present. This should cease after a few days. . Visually inspect Cell for scale build-up and clean the cell as described above. Adjust your water chemistry as needed. "NO FLOW" Message. Insufficient Flow (Min. 15 gpm) A Flow switch wire is loose. Ensure your Filter and Cell are clean of debris. Ensure there are no valves diverting flow away from the cell. Check each end for tightness onto the terminals. "LOW AMPS" message. Very cold pool water. The Cell is scaled. Possible Cell failure. Lower the output and add a Non-Chlorine Shock containing Potassium Monopersulfate to the pool until the water temperature rises above 50?F. See #2 of this section. Check with a 957 tester and replace if needed. Also see #4 of this section. No GREEN CELL light (Cell Life Depleted). Low Cell Amperage. The Cell Cord is Disconnected from the Cell. Fuse Blown on Power Module. Replace cell. Ensure that the cord is firmly pressed into the cell. Replace Fuse.

Parts & Supplies > Pool Heaters > Solar Heaters > Valves Watts Vacuum Breaker Assembly For draining solar system Watts Vacuum Breaker Assembly The Vacuum Breaker is used with solar pool heater collectors to break the vacuum, by letting air into the system, and allow the solar panels to drain when the pump is turned off. Instructions: Step 1. Seal all threads with Teflon tape (tape not included). Step 2. Screw the vacuum breaker into the 90º threaded adapter. Step 3. Screw the 90º threaded adapter into the 1-1/2" x 1/2" Adapter Note: If using a 1-1/2" x 3/4 Adapter instead, you must first screw it into the 3/4" x 1/2" adapter before screwing into the 90º adapter. Step 4. Insert the vacuum breaker assembly in place of the lower or upper end cap and tighten with hose clamp. For proper drainage to occur, the feed line must run downhill to the 3-way valve. The 3-way valve must be open or “non-positive seal.” A positive seal may be converted by removing the seal from the diverter or drilling a 3/16” hole in the center of the diverter inside the 3-way valve. You may also leave the “positive seal” 3-way valve open slightly to achieve the same results. A typical solar panel roof kit should look like the diagram below when finished. It may vary based on the actual layout. 1 - Watts Vacuum Breaker 2 - 90º Threaded Adapter 3 - 3/4 x 1/2" Adapter [Needed only if using the 1-1/2 x 3/4" Adapter] 4 - 1-1/2 x 1/2" or 1-1/2 x 3/4 Pipe to Vacuum Breaker Adapter When needing to isolate the solar, and still run the pump, an isolation ball valve will need to be installed on the solar feed line to the solar to achieve total shutdown capabilities.

Parts & Supplies > Water Heaters > Solar Hot Water > Active Solar > Pumps Ivan Labs El Sid Solar Circulating Pump Model: SID B Series - Battery Operated El Sid Solar Circulating Pump - Battery Operated Model SID-B Series SID stands for static-impeller driven, which means the pump contains an electronic driver or motor that has no moving parts but simply spins on a magnetic field. The magnetic field grasps the impeller and visibly spins it without any moving parts or seals. As a result, it's extremely long-lived without much power consumption. These pumps are completely brass and stainless steel, so they don't corrode. The El SID pumps have no seals which can leak, and no bearings to get hot or brushes to spark - they are explosion proof. Product Applications: • Solar Domestic Water Heating Systems - closed loop • Floor Heating Systems Product Function: This pump is used to circulate the water throughout the radiant panel or other hot water heat emitting system. Product Features: • Brass and stainless steel construction • Power source AC/DC • High efficiency - typical start 1 watt • Magnetic coupled drive • Locked impeller protected [PV] • No shaft - no fan • Brushless • No maintenance required • Quiet operation LED Signals Four red LEDs will glow when the impeller is spinning. Two will light if the impeller is stuck, one above and one below. Product Specifications: • Light weight - 2 lbs • Compact size: 2.75" sq - 3" thick • Low voltage [class II] driver • High temperature - 250°F fluid max. • High pressure - 175 psi. max • Vertical or horizontal piping All 2W2 drivers look alike. [Two Wire, 2nd Version] All 2W2 drivers are Static Impeller Drivers™. SID™ Shown is 1/2" female NPT adapters and 1/2" pipe. Also shown are the heads of four Philips screws that fasten the 2W2 driver onto the head. Wetted materials are: • Food Grade Stainless Steel • Cast Bronze • Teflon • Hi-Temp ROYTON Plastic • Ceramic Ferrite Magnet Four common screw heads are shown, holding the stainless steel fluid retaining plate in place. Also shown are four screws coming from the back of the pump head. When the 2W2 driver is in place, a total of eight screws squeeze the fluid retaining plate in place. Note that there is no shaft and [of course] no shaft-seal. The crown at the center of the retaining plate houses an eight pole ceramic magnet. Thus, the rotating magnetic field in the 2W2 driver is coupled to the impeller, which resides in the fluid. Easy to install The brass pump is soldered into your copper plumbing, and the driver screws on top of it. Any driver [regardless of size] can be interchanged on the same pump, which means that if the pump doesn't provide the flow you need, you can install a larger driver within a couple of minutes. Battery Operated Models: SID10B12 A 10-Watt driver used with 12-volt battery systems. The speed of this driver will change with battery condition (voltage). Often used in radiant floor application, etc. SID10B24 A 10-Watt driver used with 24-volt battery systems. This driver has a built in dc-dc converter, causing the pump to be "constant-speed" from 20 to 35 volts. An excellent driver for "off-grid" or "lost-grid" radiant floor zone circulation. Because it is "constant-speed" a zone will not change characteristics, as batteries discharge. The built-in 3rd generation converter exceeds 96% efficiency. By distributing conversion among the zone circulators, instead of one central converter, system reliability is increased; a single failure does not stop all zones. Simplicity of wiring is also improved, as no central converter need be wired. Just fuse each zone pump branch (at the battery) and wire the battery through the thermostat and then to the zone pump. Product Manufacturer : Ivan labs, Inc. See specifications for "PV" Models [photovoltaic] shown above Product Warranty: View » El-SID Warranty Information [Pdf Format] ______________________________________________________ Frequently Asked Questions: What is the difference between the B [battery] and PV [photovoltaic] versions? There are specific models that can be operated directly off a PV panel or a battery, or off an independent AC power supply. If you're going to use an AC power supply: • 14-17 volts; use a PV model • 12 to 14 volts; you can use a B model What is the pump's power usage? 3.5 or 5 or 20 watts at 12 V, and 10 watts at 12 or 24 V. What is the SID pump's best use? The pumps are circulating, and are best for circulating water in a closed-loop system, such as heating or solar. As for anything else, their use is as unlimited as your imagination. Keep in mind they'll pump water, as well as antifreeze and various other chemicals. Here are just a couple of ideas: • You can power them with a small RV deep-cycle 12-volt battery. Keep a trickle charger on the battery so that if the power goes out your pump will keep on running. • For solar system loops, the SID can be powered directly from a PV panel. The sun comes up, heat builds in the solar hot water panel and at the same time electricity is made in the PV panel. The pump slowly starts with the smallest amount of current and pushes the heated water to the storage tank. It's all too simple and eliminates all controllers, thermostats and sensors. What is the most common size? The SID10, because it's been around the longest. It's a good average size for radiant floor heat and domestic hot water solar. What would the 3.5 and % watt models be used for? Smaller systems, anything that needs less lift. Why are SID pumps more expensive? They're actually fairly inexpensive compared with other cheaper and shorter-lived pumps. They have, for instance, no brushes to change, and no moving or rubbing parts. _______________________________________________________ HELP » Contact Customer Support • Toll-Free help line offering product info and ordering support • Online e-mail technical and installation support _______________________________________________________ Delivery Information: Please allow 3-10 days for delivery http://shop.solardirect.com/product_info.php?products_id=363 http://shop.solardirect.com/images/p_elsidb.gif 363 4 0.00 222.00

Parts & Supplies > Pool Heaters > Solar Heaters > Mounting Dymonic FC Polyurethane Sealant Made by: Tremco Dymonic® FC Polyurethane Sealant Product Description: Dymonic FC is a high performance, low modulus, one-component, moisture curing, polyurethane sealant. Basic Uses: Dymonic FC is a durable, flexible polyurethane sealant that offers excellent performance in moving joints. Dymonic FC does not require a primer on most construction materials, and exhibits tenacious adhesion once fully cured. Typical applications include: Expansion and control joints, precast concrete panel joints, perimeter caulking [windows, door, panels], EIFS, aluminum, masonry & vinyl siding. Limitations: Do not apply over damp or contaminated surfaces. Colors: Dark Bronze, Gray, White Applicable Standards: Meets U.S. Federal Specification TTS-00230C, Class A, Type II; Canadian Standard CAN/CGSB-19.13-M87; and ASTM C920, Type S, Grade NS, Class 100/50, Use NT, M, A and O. AAMA 802.3 Type I and II, and AAMA 808.3. ________________________________________________________ Solar Pool Heater Application: Dymonic FC Sealant is used to reinforce and seal the mounting of a solar pool heater. It is used under the Strap and Header Clips, and on the Screw Heads for shingle applications. Refer to the Vortex Install Manual for details on using this sealant during a solar pool heater installation. ________________________________________________________ GENERAL INSTALLATION • Joint Design: May be used in any vertical or horizontal joint design in accordance with accepted architectural/engineering practice. Joint width should be 4 times anticipated movement, but not less than 1/4 inch [6.4mm] wide. • Joint Dimensions: For joints 1/4 inch [6.4mm] to 1/2 inch [12.7mm] wide, the width to depth ratio should be equal. Joints 1/2 inch [12.7mm] wide or greater should have a sealant depth of 1/2 inch [12.7mm]. Minimum joint size is 1/4 inch by 1/4 inch [6.4mm by 6.4mm]. • Surface Preparation: For good adhesion, the joint interface must be sound, clean and dry. Depending on the substrate, or presence of form release agents, masonry waterproofing, dust, loose mortar or laitance, architectural paints or finishes, the joint surface may require a thorough wire brushing, grinding, sandblasting, solvent washing and/or primer. • Tooling & Cleaning: Tooling is recommended immediately after application to insure firm, intimate contact with the joint interface. Dry tooling is preferred, although tooling agents can be utilized. Excess sealant and smears adjacent to the joint can be removed with Xylol or Toluol before sealant cures. • Joint Backing Bond Breaking Tape: Closed cell polyethylene backer rods are preferred as joint backing to control depth of sealant bead. Where depth of joint will prevent use of joint backing, an adhesive backed polyethylene tape should be installed to prevent three-sided adhesion. • Application: Cartridges of Dymonic FC are easy to apply with conventional caulking equipment. Fill joint completely with a proper width-to-depth ratio and tool. • Maintenance: Damaged sealant can be repaired. Consult your Tremco Distributor or Representative for repair procedures.

All of the rules for joint preparation come down to a few words...it must be dry and clean. • Masonry Concrete surfaces must be fully cured, clean and dry; curing aids and form release agents removed, if necessary, by sandblasting or grinding. Loose dust must be thoroughly brushed off. If curing or form release agents have been used, run test to determine their effect on adhesion of sealant. Concrete surfaces are often wet, either from retained water or rain. Surface may appear dry and still contain too much moisture for a good bond. If this is the case, flame drying may be called for, or washing with water miscible solvents such as methyl ethyl ketone [MEK]. A discussion of this problem will be found below in the section on handling of wet concrete joint. • Glass, Porcelain, Tile, etc. Excellent seals can be made to glass and other surfaces. Absolute cleanliness is needed. Surfaces must be cleaned by a material such as methyl ethyl ketone, dried well, and then sealed. Protection from oil and fingerprints is important. Solvents used must be clean and free of oil. • Wood Tremco Sealants will adhere well to new, dry wood. If surface has been painted, it must be cleaned. Woods such as teak contain oil which dries out very slowly. This type of wood may require use of primer. If wood is oil bearing, bond may develop slowly. Bond to painted wood is of no more value than the bond of the paint to the wood. Sealants will adhere to paint, but if possible, paint should be scraped away to expose the wood. • Metal Seals can be made to steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass or bronze, and most other metals. The surface should be wire brushed and solvent cleaned. Protective varnishes should be removed unless they are very firmly adhered. Baked finishes are usually as good as clean metal, but must be oil and wax free. Oxide films such as old aluminum, and some types of “rusted finish” steel, present some problems. Surfaces should be freed of all loose particles and cleaned as well as possible before priming. Grinding is preferred, if possible. Solvents such as paint thinner will remove grease and oil, but care must be taken to prevent redeposition form the solvent. It should be clean [not reused] and applied liberally and wiped off with a clean rag. The rough, clean surface from wire brushing is very good for adhesion. It should be solvent wiped but not polished. Extreme care must be taken to expose clean metal on a metal-to-metal wall joint. These surfaces are usually dirty and since they are not directly exposed, a simple brushing is not enough. A cleaning tool which can apply some force should be used. • Backing Materials Since many joints are deeper than 1/2” [12.7 mm], [maximum usable depth for a sealant, usually 1/4” [6.4 mm] is all that is necessary], a backing or filler is needed to control sealant depth. • Application After joint is clean and dry, and the backing is properly placed, sealing can begin. Sealants can be applied by gun or knife. Two considerations must be kept in mind: a. Fill opening from bottom up or out; entrapped air is not a sealant. b. Use some force to help the sealant wet the surface. Sealed joint should not bulge out from excess material, but be slightly concave. Non-sag or standard type sealant will do a very poor job of “wetting” to a rough surface such as concrete unless some force is applied. Even under the best application conditions, the area of contact to concrete is probably less than 50%. Tooling will not be as effective on concrete as initial pressure since tooling cannot eliminate small surface bubbles. Vertical joints must be backed to the proper depth and the sealant forced against the sides by same techniques as described above. Freehand filling of unbacked vertical joints will lead to serious problems. • Wet or Fresh Concrete Joints Since Tremco Sealants are cured by moisture and the reaction of water or moisture vapor with this type of material is rather complex, a detailed consideration of joints in wet concrete is necessary, with the understanding, Tremco does not recommend applying sealants to wet surfaces. The reaction of moisture with the active component of the uncured sealant can result in formation of the desired polymer by a reaction which leads to the simultaneous development of CO2 with the consequent formation of swelled and unsightly joints. This “blowing” reaction takes place at temperatures of 90°F [32°C] and above and is greatly dependent on the amount of water and sealant present. If large joints in wet porous concrete must be prepared, care must be taken to minimize these bubbles which cause an unsightly swelling of the joint. The quality of the polymer does not depend upon a gas-free cure. Sealants cure primarily from the top down or from the outside in. Gas formation is greatly reduced if thickness of sealant is kept below 1/4”: [6.4 mm]. If sealant layer is 1/4” [6.4 mm] or less, much of the gas is diffused to the atmosphere. If joints are prepared as described, a minimum of difficulty will be encountered. Joints made under adverse conditions should be properly backed up so that minimum thickness of sealant is exposed to the concrete surface. If the joint must have physical strength or penetration resistance, a firm backing material can be used with no reduction in joint quality. Various techniques for making laminated joints have been developed for the construction of watertight and level expansion seals in concrete. These must be considered in terms of the specific job to be done. If the concrete slab is partially sealed, either by a membrane below or a sealing coat on top, or both, special consideration must be given to the fact that an abnormal pressure of water may be developed in the sealed slab. • Application Temperature [winter work] Water on surface to be sealed prevents the liquid from forming proper bond and interferes with proper adhesion of the sealant. At temperatures near or below freezing, an invisible film of ice is usually found on exposed surfaces. It is impossible to form a bond under these conditions. When work must be done at temperatures below freezing, the most acceptable technique is flame drying of the joint and application of the material while temperature is still above 40°F [4°C]. This presents complications since a long run preparation is not possible. Heavy applications of water miscible solvent such as methyl ethyl ketone will assist in removal of ice and cold moisture. Of these solvents, methyl ethyl ketone is the only one acceptable in the case of Tremco Sealants. Successful cold weather installations have been carried out and, while difficult, winter caulking is not impossible. Horizontal joints using self-leveling materials are easily made by following precautions and vertical joints with non-sag materials can be successfully constructed if care is taken. • Repairs Tremco Sealants will adhere to clean surfaces of similar material and damaged areas may be cut out and replaced. Primer is needed if new seal is to old sealant surface which has been cut clean. When resealing joints which have been sealed by use of hydrocarbonaceous sealers such as asphalt or pitch, it is essential that all of this material be removed and a clean surface be exposed and primed. Various types of minor repairs in seals can be repaired with Tremco Sealants; but these facts must be remembered: 1) All surfaces must be clean. 2) If narrow joints are filled, the possible large percentage expansion must be considered. 3) Pressure against the surfaces is necessary. • Storage All materials should be stored in a cool, dry location 60-80°F [15-27°C] prior to use. Opened cans will probably set up unless closed promptly after material is removed, and sealed tightly. The seals in Tremco Sealant cans and cartridges are the best available and will usually hold for long periods of time. The worst possible condition is cycling temperature which causes breathing action into any air space. Avoid exposure of the sealant at high temperatures. If five gallon or larger containers are used, they should be kept sealed by follower plates or other filling devices. • Tooling The surface of a sealant joint may be tooled or smoothed in order to obtain a better appearance. This tooling also has a favorable effect on obtaining seating of the sealant against the walls of the cavity. In order to obtain as smooth a surface as possible, the finishing tool should be wet with solvent. Because of the nature of the Tremco Sealants, this solvent must not be alcohol, but toluene or xylene is highly successful. Taping sides of joint is recommended in any size where an extremely accurate match to the edge is desired. The tape can be removed without difficulty any time up to four hours after application of sealant. • Technical Service Local Tremco representatives are available to instruct the applicator in the use of Tremco Sealants. It is our policy to assist in the initial use of our sealants whenever possible, since the outstanding properties of urethane sealants are best achieved by a full understanding of proper application techniques. • Curing Most Tremco Sealants are “one-part” materials. These urethane materials cure by reaction with the moisture of the air. They cure fastest in hot, moist air, slowest in cold, dry air. Under normal conditions, 40%-70%RH, and 50°-80°F [10°-20°C], the exposed surface of sealants will “skin” overnight and will cure in 48-72 hours. After this length of time, cure is complete; but adhesion is only partially developed. The adhesion bond does not achieve its maximum strength for two to four weeks. Samples tested after several hundred hours of weatherometer exposure have better adhesion than the originals. The cure of one-part material is greatly affected by temperature and humidity. Under conditions of high temperature and high humidity, the cure may be extremely rapid. The most critical time is the second day, i.e; the time from 18-36 hours. If conditions are unfavorable, the cure will be too rapid after the skin has formed with resultant gas formation. If substrates are porous materials such as concrete or limestone, the excessive amount of moisture may accelerate curing still further with resultant swelling of the joints. The best solution to this is reduction in the amount of material present by use of a larger backing strip on top of the backing in horizontal joint. _______________________________________________________ HELP » Contact Customer Support • Toll-Free help line offering unit sizing support • Online e-mail technical and installation support _______________________________________________________ • Manufacturer's Warranty: Tremco warrants its Sealants to be free of defects in materials, but makes no warranty as to appearance or color.

Once wetted, the minerals will not remain active for longer • than four months. Use the reminder dial on Spa Frog to help you • remember when to replace. Q: Can I use Spa Frog alone or do I need another form of chlorination? A: Spa Frog is to be used with a small amount of chlorine (0.5 - 1 ppm) • or bromine (1 - 2 ppm). Spa Frog also works with ozonators. Q: Can I use Spa Fog with potassium monopersulfate only? A: No. This can create an unsafe spa as there is no EPA approved sanitizer • residual in the spa. A spa with Spa Frog should maintain a 0.5 - 1 ppm • of chlorine or 1 - 2 ppm bromine. Q: Do I still need to shock my spa if I'm using Spa Frog? A: Yes. Shock when needed (if the water looks cloudy or before a party) • or shock once per week to keep it simple. Q: If Spa Frog is too long for my filter, can I still use it? A: Yes. You have several options. One is to cut the rod at the hash marks to • shorten. You can also use spa frog in the filter well / skimmer tray.

For instance, the standard RA-28 model contains four 7000 watt elements for a total of 28,000 watts, or 28 kilowatts (kW) of power. The two-chamber model, RA-14, contains only two 7000 watt elements for a total power rating of 14,000 watts, or 14 kilowatts (kW). However, because of Seisco's "Power Sharing" technology, the heater may not always use the maximum available power. The power output can vary with flow rate and temperature rise. Refer to the Product Specifications Table above for the maximum power ratings of each model. Heating Output: The heating output of the Seisco is simply the total kilowatt power rating of the combined heating elements converted to BTUs using 3,413 BTU/kW. For instance, the RA-28 has a total power rating of 28 kW or a 95,564 BTU heat output rating. The four-chamber models have the higher output ratings; 61,434 BTUs for the RA-18 model, and 75,086 BTUs for the RA-22 model. The lower output two-chamber models, are; 47,782 BTUs for the RA-14, 37,543 BTUs for the RA-11, and 30,717 BTUs for the RA-9. These ratings vary with the operating voltage or service voltage to the heater. Refer to the Product Specifications Table for the BTU ratings of each model. Voltage Rating: Seisco heaters are manufactured with common 240 volt [AC] heating elements designed for optimum operation on a standard residential 240 volt [AC] electric service. Also, the Seisco will operate at 208 VAC, a typical commercial voltage, with standard 240 VAC heating elements. However, when operating the heater at 208 VAC, the power rating and the heat output rating is significantly reduced. Seisco models can be special ordered with 208 VAC heating elements to help maximize the power and heating output. Refer to the Product Specifications Table above for details on the various voltage ratings. Maximum Current Rating: Each Seisco Model has a maximum electrical current rating [or amp rating] equivalent to the sum of the heating element ratings. For example, a four-chamber model, RA-28, operating at 240 VAC has four heating elements, each with a maximum rating of 29 amps. The maximum current rating or total current rating of the RA-28 is therefore 116 amps or the sum of the four heating elements. However, because of Seisco's "Power Modulating Technology", the actual current measured during relatively low flow rates and/or low temperature rises can be less than the maximum rating of the heater during operation. Refer to the A [max] or maximum amp rating under "Electrical" in the Product Specifications Table above for each model. Temperature Rise: The temperature rise must be determined in order to help choose the appropriate Seisco heater. The rise can be determined by knowing the input water temperature and the desired output temperature of the heater. The Seisco's output temperature is typically set for about 120 degrees F at the factory. Therefore, if the input or cold water inlet temperature is 50 degrees F, then the temperature rise is the difference or 70 degrees F. If the desired output temperature is 125 degrees F, then the temperature rise would be 75 degrees F. With the temperature rise determined, the Product Specification Table above provides the associated flow rate capacity of the various Seisco models. Flow Rates: The flow rate for each model is given in the "Temperature Rise" section of the Product Specification Table above. Along with the temperature rise, the flow rate must also be determined in order to choose the appropriate Seisco heater. The flow rate is determined by the type of faucet and also, life style. Refer to the chart below for typical faucet flow rates in the home. However, if the desired life style in the home requires running multiple faucets at the same time, then the flow rates must be added together to determine the peak flow demand. The Seisco or the possibility of multiple Seiscos should be selected to match the peak flow rate. Below are typical flow rates for new residential construction. There may be exceptions with new designer type fixtures and faucets. For instance, large custom body spa showers whirl pool and Jacuzzi tubs may have faucets with flow rates ranging from 7 gpm to 14 gpm. However, a combination of multiple Seisco heaters [preferably plumbed in a parallel configuration] can be installed to match these higher flow rates. The same peak design approach would be necessary for the anticipated life style of multiple flow rates occurring at the same time. Otherwise, use the table below and match the Seisco according to the peak flow and associated temperature rise of a single tub or shower. Typical Flow Rates in Gallons per Minute [gpm] Fixture Type Lavatory Bathtub Shower Kitchen Sink Pantry Sink Laundry Sink Dish-washer Flow Rates 0.8 - 1.5 2.0 - 4.0 1.5 - 3.0 1.0 - 1.5 1.5 - 2.5 2.5 - 3.0 2.0 - 3.0 Product Descriptions and Specifications PDF Format Selection Criteria, Applications and Diagrams PDF Format In the above document you will find: Selection Criteria • Basic information needed for selecting the proper Seisco model Residential Floor Plan Diagrams • Standard One Story Home Options • Standard Two Story Home Options • One Story – Booster for Quicker Response Application Diagrams: • General Residential - Whole House • Booster Retro-fit for Existing Storage Tank • High Flow or Large Demand Configuration • Circulating System Arrangement • Space Heating – Radiant Floor or Hydronic Heating System • Space Heating – Indoor Hydro Heating or Heat Pump System • Passive Heating – Combined with Indoor Storage Tank • Solar Backup – Combined with Solar Heated Storage Tank • Geothermal Backup – Combined with De-Super Heater Electrical Guide PDF Format In the above document you will find: • Introduction to SEISCO Electrical Requirements • National Electric Code Rules – Load Calculations • Sample Residential Load Calculations • National Electric Code Rules - Branch Circuit Protection • SEISCO Electrical Wiring & Breaker Guides • Single and Three Phase Wiring Diagrams Installation Instructions A.

There are no moving parts or flow restricting devices used in Seisco heaters. • Flow/No Flow Detection Seisco uses a unique flow/no flow detection system utilizing temperature sensors for flow detection. In standby, the heater maintains a very subtle temperature gradient and flow is detected when there is a change in the gradient. • Microprocessor Control The advanced microprocessor control turns the power on through a set of relays and turns the power off when flow stops. The most important feature may be the patented "Power Sharing" technology which provides for evenly distributed power to the heating elements. This in turn, helps eliminate scalding potential, scaling and sediment build-up. • Control Logic The control logic allows the power level to vary which is beneficial in minimizing the use of power for periods of less demanding usage. • Quality Construction: Seisco heating chambers are modular and molded of light weight thermoplastic materials. The chamber is specifically engineered for durability in harsh water heating environments and capable of withstanding extreme temperature swings and pressure changes. Heating elements, sensors and detection devices that come in contact with the water, are machined in brass or made of copper to help resist corrosion. Standard 1 inch, flanged screw-type heating elements are utilized which are interchangeable with heating elements available at local hardware stores. • 5 Year Limited Manufacturer's Warranty SAFETY FEATURES: Seisco was designed with a complete array of dependable safety features to prevent harm to the user and the heater. There are several redundant safety features as well. • Dual high temperature switches on independent circuitry in addition to the control's internal high temperature shut down. • Dual low level detectors are used to prevent dry firing of the heating elements. • A leak detector is mounted on the casing that in the event of a leak sounds an alarm to the user. • Electrical Surge Protection - Although the control board is protected against electrical surges, additional heater protection is achieved when the relays are opened during periods of standby, providing no path for the surge to reach the heating elements. • Venting System - The chamber is designed with a patented venting system that continuously vents harmful gasses and air during operation. • The microprocessor control is programmed to provide self diagnostics that significantly reduces troubleshooting and service time. In the event of a problem with the heater, the control emits a visual or optional built-in audible code. There is no maintenance required of the Seisco. However, there are clean-out plates below the heater chamber to allow removal of sand and grit that may build-up from a well water system.

Aqua-Doc never needs power, salt or chemicals. The result: energy-free, natural and healthy soft and neutralized acid-free water. Bad tasting water will clarify within several days. The green acid stains will take 7-12 weeks but may initially be scrubbed off and will never appear again. Normally, calcium deposits in spigots, shower heads and toilets will soften and dissolve in 2-4 weeks. The inside of heavily scaled old plumbing will require additional time to dissolve this thick build-up. Since each geographical area has a different mineral composition, each home or application has different hard water scaling properties. As a result, the Aqua-Doc must be installed for a period of 90 days so that it may properly help solve each unique hard water situation. Salt Softeners vs Aqua-Doc: Salt softeners were one of the major choices you had in combating the problems caused by hard water in your home or business. Yet salt systems have been questioned in recent years by the medical community due to their use of high amounts of salt in softening water. They literally bathe your water supply in a tank of sodium charged plastic beads. These plastic beads absorb the hard water minerals and exchange an equal amount of sodium into the water supply. This is not a small amount. In a normal area of 20 grains of hardness, 150 milligram of sodium is released in each quart of water - That is a lot of salt to drink! Salt corrodes metal plumbing. Besides adding salt to your water, salt softeners remove minerals which are important to your health. The Aqua-Doc retains these minerals and makes them good for plumbing. Medicine has linked salt consumption to high blood pressure, circulatory problems, and fluid retention. Get softer water without salt with Aqua-Doc... A Clear Solution the natural, energy-free way! Salt-Softener vs Aqua-DOC Comparison Chart Salt Softener Aqua-Doc Uses salt, chemicals, electricity yes no Has sodium toxic residue yes no Hypertension patients' heart safety unsafe safe Removes healthy necessary minerals yes no Being banned in localities due to salt fouling of fresh water table yes no Neutralizes acid water, removes green stains, stops copper leaching no yes Removes prior lime and mineral build-up no yes Requires a plumber for installation yes no Requires maintenance yes no Using a Water Softener with Aqua-Doc: If you just can't part with your water softener, install Aqua-Doc on your line to your softener and decrease the number of regenerations in half, saving you maintenance [work], money [salt] and sodium residue [health]. ______________________________________________ Product Science: Water is a "carrier vessel" of hard water minerals due to the naturally equal ionic (electric) charge between the minerals and the water. The minerals dissolve in the earth and are transmitted by the water to all parts of the internal surface of the plumbing where they scrape along to re-crystallize and reform the hard rock scale (A). This scaling is naturally progressed at all heating surfaces in the water heater. When water is magnetically charged, it electrically takes on a greater ionic charge than the minerals which creates a natural magnetic attraction between the two. The magnetization then attracts and locks the dissolved minerals into the water creating healthy and cost free descaling (B). Softening and better taste occurs from an actual reduction in the size of the water molecule. It is similar to a bucketful of rocks the size of pebbles versus the size of sand. The pebbles will bang around like rocks while the sand will pour like water. The small magnetized water molecule has a greater solvency and a magnetic attraction that results in cleaner bathing and washing which cleans and washes like soft water. This saves on soaps, shampoos, and detergents. The smaller molecular size also has less evaporative surface area which magnetically and dramatically reduces the gases and foul taste of sulfur, chlorine and fluoride, etc. Acid neutralization occurs from the physical restructuring of the water molecule. The acid taste is reduced while the copper leaching is stopped and the green acid stains eventually and completely wash away. ______________________________________________ Iron Problems: There are three types of iron areas: low, medium and high. It should be noted that high iron areas may affect the Aqua-Doc's efficiency. It should also be noted this much iron is BAD for your health. Aqua-Nova recommends that if you have this much iron, please promptly get an iron filter, then use an Aqua-Doc after the filter to dissolve the hard water minerals, which the iron filter does not.

Parts & Supplies > Pool Heaters > Solar Heaters > Controls Goldline Controls Goldline High Voltage Relay Model: AQRELAY Goldline Relay Part No. AQ RELAY Product Application: To be used with Aqua Solar Electronic Solar Control Product Function: The electromagnetic relay is actuated by the variations in conditions of the electric circuit and in turn operates: • Booster Pump Control • Pool Sweep Interlock • Filter Pump Booster Pump Control: This relay controls a booster pump for systems where the main filter pump does not have enough power to pump water through the collector array. The boost pump turns on 30 seconds after solar heating/cooling turns on. Sweep Interlock: The relay is wired in series with the pool sweep and turns the pool sweep off for approximately 6 minutes whenever the solar turns on. This prevents the pool sweep pump from losing prime while air is being purged from the solar collector array. Filter Pump: The function of this relay varies with the model of the Aqua Solar. If the "Solar Override" is enabled, the Aqua Solar will override the time clock and turn the filter pump on when there is a call for solar heating. If "Recirculate Freeze" protection is enabled, the Aqua Solar will turn the pump and solar valve on during freezing conditions. Product Specifications: AQ RELAY is a high voltage, industry standard relay. Double pole, single throw, meaning that they can make/break both legs of a 240VAC circuit. Relay Outputs: DPST isolated contacts; 3HP@240 VAC Please view the Aqua Solar Operation and Installation Manual for more information, installation and diagrams. ____________________________________________________ HELP » Contact Customer Support • Toll-Free help line offering unit selection and sizing support • Online e-mail technical and installation support ____________________________________________________ Delivery Information: Please allow 3 to 5 business days for orders to be processed, plus standard transportation delivery time.

Salt is economical and available everywhere. It is also eco-friendly - plus the salt-to-chlorine conversion is energy efficient! A wonderful thing happens to the salt after it is turned into low-level chlorine and does the work of sanitizing you pool water - it turns back into salt and the process begins all over again. But the best part is that the salt content of the pool water is at a much lower level than contact lens solution used with the human eye; so harmless there is not even a detectable salty taste to the water!!! ____________________________________________________ Pool Pilot TOTAL CONTROL Includes: • Pool Chemistry Controller • Pool Pilot Digital - Salt Chlorine Generator • Pre-assembled Manifold • Stenner Acid Pump and Tank System • D-I-Y Installation Kit; easy to install and operate Pool Chemistry Controller: Automatically controls the chemistry of your pool water. The controller communicates with the salt-chlorine generator to activate it for chlorine needs. It also measures pH levels in your pool water and it activates the acid pump when PH level rises above a setpoint, maintaining your pool perfectly balanced and allowing for longer equipment and cell life. • pH Sensor - Constantly measures pH level and activates acid pump • when level rises above setpoint. • ORP [Oxidation Reduction Potential] Sensor - The ORP probe contains • a known solution that constantly measures active sanitizer level in pool • water - in millivolts - and signals the digital chlorine generator to • produce chlorine on demand. • Flow Cell - Sensor protection that provides proper monitoring • environment for sensors and water tap for manually monitoring • water chemistry.

Simply pour salt directly into the pool water - it dissolves quickly. When the ions in salt are passed over specially coated blades in the Pool Pilot's conversion cell and induced with a low voltage electrical charge, the ions are converted into naturally generated chlorine. When this process is incorporated into a swimming pool's filtration system, it creates a natural low level chlorine generator. The Pool Pilot reduces up to 80% of all the costly chemicals needed to kill unsafe algae and bacteria in pool water - chemicals that also can cause serious damage to the earth's delicate ecosystem. And more importantly , according to a recent study by Greenpeace, exposure to Chlorine gas during swimming may result in several heightened human health concerns including neurological problems in children, breast cancer, deformities, and infertility. See Below* • The Pool Pilot is so rugged and effective it was chosen exclusively • to serve as Carnival Cruise Line's onboard pool purifier system! • Designed to operate under the most demanding 24/7 high-volume • use, the Pool Pilot units easily stand up to use with pure sea water!

Energy Savings > Solar Cooking Energy Laboratories, Inc. MorningStar Portable Solar Cooker Premium Aluminum This product is currently being added to the shopping cart. Information, pricing and shipping will be updated shortly. To purchase please call or email us. Free Bonus! Purchase this premium aluminum Solar Cooker along with the glass cooking dish and receive an additional cooker completely free! [2nd cooker standard edition] MorningStar Portable Solar Cooker The MorningStar Reflector was designed to meet the growing need in countries where cooking fuel [wood] is being depleted at a rate faster than it can be replaced. The result is what is known as "the Fuel Wood Famine". The MorningStar Solar Cooker provides an economical alternative to traditional cooking means. By harnessing the power of the sun, the MorningStar Solar Cooker can be used to bake, boil or steam foods without the use of conventional fuels and without depleting fuels and adding emissions to the atmosphere. Product Benefits • Meals are cooked over moderate heat where the food is not • subject to burning • There are no heavy fuels to carry and no danger of fire or • smoke which could irritate the eyes and lungs • The sun is free energy and contributes no harmful pollutants • to the environment • The MorningStar Solar Cooker is completely portable and can • be taken practically anywhere Product Features: • Aluminum Solar Cooker • Cooking Dish [optional] - Glass pot and lid with metal insert How does it work? The MorningStar Solar Cooker will heat food using the basic principals of conduction, convection and radiation. As the sun's light energy [solar radiation] enters the reflector array where it is focused onto the cooking dish, the black surface of the inner pot absorbs the light energy and converts it into heat energy. The glass outer dish acts as a thermal insulator, blocking the heat energy from escaping. As the temperature in the cooking dish increases, the heat begins to flow [conduction] toward the middle of the inner pot, thus cooking the food. The air gap on top of the food begins to move [convection] transferring heat from the pot to the top of the food. Under normal conditions, temperatures in the cooking dish can range to over 250 F. Cloud cover or high winds will have an effect on the length of time required to cook the food. Most foods can cook for several hours without the need for stirring or the fear of burning which could ruin the meal. What can I cook? You can cook most foods generally cooked in a pot, pan or baked in the oven. The MorningStar Solar Cooker cannot be used where high temperatures are required [i.e., stir-fry and flat breads]. Foods with moderate moisture content such as fruits, some vegetables and meats can be placed directly in the MorningStar Solar Cooker with no additional fluids required. Grains and beans should be cooked using the same general guidelines for cooking on the stove. Where water and or stock are used, use the same fluid volume for cooking in the MorningStar Solar Cooker. If the food comes out over-moist to too dry, adjust the fluid volume the next time you use the cooker. When is the best time to cook? The higher the sun is in the sky, the better the MorningStar Solar Cooker will perform. The sun is most intense between 10:0am and 2:00pm. Foods which are typically baked, such as breads, should be cooked during this time period. The cooker can effectively begin working earlier in the morning and with planning two meals a day can be prepared. Although the reflector array has been optimized to work year round, the cooker will experience slower cooking times during the winter months. People living in the darker areas of the map on the next page, tend to have longer cooking seasons. Cooking Directions The Cooking Dish The cooking dish is made up of three integral items. The black pot or cooking pot is the conductive unit used to absorb the light energy, convert and transfer the accumulated heat energy to the food. The glass pot and the glass lid serve as the thermal insulator and aid in containing the heat generated by the cooking pot. Note: If the cooking dish is not purchased, use any black pot with a tight fitting lid. Thin-walled, black metal pots are ideal. Heavy cat pots will also work, but, cooking may take longer. Place the pot in a plastic bag with a tie wrap. Remove the glass lid from the cooking dish and place all food items and liquids in the black pot. DO NOT place food or liquid items in the glass bowl of the cooking dish as this will reduce the cookers ability to cook the food. Replace the glass lid. Place the cooking dish into the center of the reflector array. You are now ready to begin cooking. WARNING: The reflector array is metal based and will conduct heat. Be careful when repositioning the array as the reflector surfaces will be hot. Time and Temperature The time and temperature required to cook your meal will depend upon several factors; the time of day, the existing weather conditions and the volume and type of food you wish to cook. Clouds, wind and the sun positioned low in the sky, will all promote slower cooking times. Large volumes of food such as roasts, soups or stews will also take longer to cook. The reflector array is used to concentrate the sun's light energy onto and into the cooking dish. The array is fully hinged to allow for safe and convenient setup and storage. The reflector array should be placed in an area having a flat - level surface, free from shading or shadowing which may occur from the surrounding terrain. Open the reflector array and position it with the tallest hinged connection facing to the direction of the equator [south in the northern hemisphere]. For optimal performance, position the reflector array facing the sun, adjusting it throughout the day to track the movement of the across the sky. Recipes: [PDF] Solar Pasteurization: Heating water to 65 C [149 F] for 6minutes, or to a higher temperature for a shorter time, will kill all germs, viruses, and parasites. This process is called pasteurization. Solar cookers have long been used to pasteurize water for human consumption. The MorningStar Solar Cooker can be used to pasteurize approximately 2 liters of water at a time. In the right climate several batches per day can be pasteurized. Note: Pasteurization will not help if water is brackish or clinically contaminated. _______________________________________________________ HELP » Contact Customer Support • Toll-Free help line offering product info and ordering support • Online e-mail technical and operational support _______________________________________________________ Delivery Information: Please allow 3 to 14 business days for orders to be processed, plus standard transportation delivery time. http://shop.solardirect.com/product_info.php?products_id=401 401 2 0.00 99.65

Water Heaters > Solar Hot Water > Passive Solar Thermal Conversion Technology ProgressivTube Seasonal Solar Passive Water Heater Model PT20 ProgressivTube Seasonal Solar is a 20 gallon solar water heater perfect for cabins, public pool showers, small family homes of one or two bedrooms only, or any where hot water supply needed is minimal or seasonal. It is best suited for use in hot tropical climates where conventional water heaters are rarely used or in remote areas where electric power is sporadic or unavailable. ProgressivTube is simple to operate, and significantly reduces your power utility costs by using solar energy to heat water by capturing the sun’s natural FREE heat. The Energy SuperMarket's best selling water heater, the unique design of the ProgressivTube earns it 5 star plus rating in our Consumer Value guide! And... The Energy SuperMarket offers the lowest on-line factory direct pricing available! Guaranteed . ProgressivTube uses Passive solar power; a highly efficient, non-polluting alternative energy source that requires zero operating costs. Passive solar water heaters perform well worldwide - even in cooler climates, require little to no maintenance, and a ProgressivTube System typically lasts 25+ years. Product Function: When hot water is required, solar heated water is drawn from the collector unit and distributed directly to the points-of-use. Product Applications: • Perfect for cabins, public pool showers • Small family homes with only one or two bedrooms • It is best suited for use in hot tropical climates • Remote areas where electric power is unavailable. Cold Climate Applications: Although ProgressivTube is ideally suited for equatorial, tropical, sub-tropical, and temperate applications, all ProgressivTube kits can also be installed in colder climates as a "Three Season" system. During the summer, and even in the early spring and late fall seasons, a ProgressivTube system continues to provide total, or a substantial portion, of hot water requirements. Simply drain the system during winter months when freeze proofing is required, and low sun levels do not allow for efficient operation. Product Features: 1 - Fluid Connection – Inlet and outlet connections are made of 3/4" diameter Type L hard copper pipes. This allows for fast, leak-free "sweat fit" soldering of plumbing connections. 2 - Collector Case – The baked-on bronze acrylic finish of the [hard temper T6] extruded aluminum frame wall, and glazing caps [alloy 6061], assures years of attractive rust-free appearance. All rivets and bolts are aluminum or stainless steel. Aluminum .025" back. 3 - Absorber / Storage Tank – Constructed entirely of copper, the 4" diameter tubes are welded to the interconnecting pipes to form a "series" flow pattern. Each tank is pressure rated to 300 psi and is coated with a high-temperature selective solar radiation absorption surface that maximizes heat gain and reduces heat loss. 4 - Insulation – Rigid closed cell polyisocyanurate foam board, the most efficient available, is used to maximize heat retention. Sides and ends of the unit have 1.5" board, R-value 10; bottom has 2" board, R-value 14; between tubes have 1.5" board, R-value 10. 5 - Glazing – Outer glazing is a tempered low-iron solar glass with 91% transmittance. Inner glazing is Teflon film, known for its high temperature tolerance [525°F] and its long term durability and stability, with 96% transmittance. The 3/4" air space between glazings reduces heat loss. 6 - Glazing Gaskets – A continuous gasket made of special long life EDPM synthetic rubber is compressed by the glazing caps to seal out the weather. The inner glazing spline is made of high-temperature tolerant EPDM. Product Models: PT20 - Collector only PT20K - Complete Kit ProgressiveTube PT20 uses a stand-alone configuration as the single source for providing hot water. Hot water output is dependant on available solar radiation, and may be temporarily interrupted by inclement weather. Direct System 1. ProgressivTube 2. Boiler Drain: Bronze 3. Tempering Valve 4.

Over the past 12 years they have been installed in over 50 developing countries and have held up under the harshest conditions. For critical applications, far from supporting infrastructure, from Borneo to Botswana, Sun Frost refrigerators have delivered consistently dependable performance day in and day out. The sole moving part in the Sun Frost RFVB DC vaccine refrigerator is a hermetically sealed compressor. The brushless motor used in the DC models eliminates periodic servicing. If servicing is ever necessary, the simplicity of the cooling system and the accessibility of the compressor make it a simple matter. Life expectancy of a compressor is lowered primarily by high condenser and oil temperatures. The Sun Frost refrigerator, with its top mounted cooling system, allows room for air to freely circulate and effectively cool the compressor and oversized condenser. Conventional cooling systems, mounted in confined spaces on the side or below the refrigerator, will run considerably hotter, lowering compressor life. Also contributing to the longevity of the cooling system is the compressor's low percentage run time, only 19% in a 32° C [90° F] room. The low energy consumption of the RFVB DC vaccine refrigerator allows the use of a smaller and more reliable battery for the funds expended. In a photovoltaic refrigerator system, the battery bank is the component with the shortest expected life. A battery may last from 2 to 15 years, depending on the quality of the battery and how it is used and maintained. Battery life is extended by decreasing the degree to which the batteries are discharged. No Fossil Fuels The Sun Frost RFVB DC vaccine refrigerator provides a means of storing vaccines and medical supplies without the use of fossil fuels. Not only is the need for a fuel supply eliminated, but the unit operates more reliably than kerosene powered refrigerators. The refrigerator is typically powered by a photovoltaic charged battery bank. This reliable power source is dependent only on sunlight, which is in abundance in most developing nations. Alternatively, the system's batteries may also be charged by wind, hydro power, or a small generator. If portability is important, the refrigerator may be run by car or truck batteries. In areas where utility power is intermittent but where it is important to maintain reliable refrigeration, the system's batteries may be powered by a small battery charger powered by utility power. RFVB: The Most Efficient Refrigerator The cost of a solar power system is typically more than the cost of the refrigerator, so efficiency is of prime importance in reducing system costs. As a result of the low energy consumption of the Sun Frost RFVB DC vaccine refrigerator, the cost of the power system will be reduced by more than US$700.00. Our RFVB vaccine storage refrigerator is the most efficient DC refrigerator of its size tested and approved by the World Health Organization [WHO]. The Sun Frost RFVB DC vaccine refrigerator employs unique design innovations to achieve its exceptionally low energy consumption. The heart of the system is a highly efficient compressor and condenser. Top mounting the cooling system lowers the energy consumption in two ways: [1] heat gain into the cabinet is reduced and [2] the lower condenser temperature increases the efficiency of the cooling system. The walls of the RFVB DC vaccine refrigerator contain four to six inches of polyurethane foam insulation - the best insulation commercially available. Unlike many other refrigerators, the insulating value of the walls of the RFVB are not lowered by metal supports between the inner and outer cases. The top mounted condenser on the Sun Frost RFVB DC vaccine refrigerator is accessible and easy to clean, allowing the cooling system to continue running efficiently. The efficiency of the cooling system is further increased by eliminating the need for fans, which consume energy and generate unwanted heat and noise. Furthermore, dust and cobwebs which collect on the intricate surface of the back or bottom mounted condenser of conventional refrigerators reduce the effectiveness of their cooling systems. Efficiency Reduces System Costs to Lowest Available To produce one amp hour of electrical energy per day in the U.S. requires an investment of $45.00 in a PV system. In a developing country this cost may be considerably higher. When making ice the highly efficient Sun Frost RFVB DV vaccine refrigerator typically saves 25 amp hours per day when compared to the average refrigerator tested by the World Health Organization. This increased efficiency translates to a savings of over $1000.00 in the PV power system. Ice Storage Further Increases System Reliability The relatively large freezer in the RFVB DC vaccine refrigertor can easily hold 12 kilograms of ice. This ice may be transferred to the refrigerator section if the cooling system is not in operation due to refrigerator failure, loss of power, or an exceptionally long overcast period. The 12 kilograms of ice now stored in the super-insulated refrigerator section will keep the stored vaccines cold for approximately nine days. If the system's batteries are low because of extremely bad weather, this nine day period should be sufficient to let the batteries recharge. Without ice storage, it would be necessary to purchase additional batteries to maintain the vaccines during prolonged overcast conditions. Defrosting: A Simple Matter When defrosting is needed, it is fast and easy. Just turn off the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. Since ice forms only on the flat, easily cleaned surfaces, it comes off in large pieces. There are no irregular shapes and ducts to grip and hold the ice, and no water to mop up. The evaporator in the RFVB DC vaccine refrigerator is protected by a fiberglass liner and cannot be punctured while defrosting, a common problem in many manual defrost refrigerators. RFVB Efficient Cooling System The temperature of the refrigerator section is tightly controlled for vaccine storage. The large capacity freezer section can produce 2 kilograms of ice per day in a 43° C [110° F] environment running only 42% of the time. Ice is produced very efficiently in the RFVB DC vaccine refrigerator; only 6 amp. hours are typically consumed to produce one kilogram of ice. Competing models use nearly twice as much energy for ice production. The evaporator design contributes significantly to the efficiency of ice production. Containers being frozen make direct contact with the evaporator molded into the floor of the freezer section. A second evaporator in the ceiling of the freezer effectively cools the contents of the freezer by convection. In a chest type freezer, it is difficult to make direct contact with the evaporator for effective conductive cooling. Also, in a chest type freezer convection is less effective because the evaporator cannot be mounted above the freezer. The freezer section of the RFVB DC vaccine refrigerator is isolated from the refrigerator compartment by three inches of polyurethane insulation. This feature prevents stored vaccines from being heated when warm water is placed in the freezer, a problem in refrigerators of conventional design. In addition to efficiency, the RFVB DC vaccine refrigerator design offers convenience. Stored vaccines are much more accessible than they are in chest models. Health workers generally find the vertical design much more acceptable.

The Sun Frost RF19: one compartment is a refrigerator and the other a freezer. It can be ordered with the freezer on the top or on the bottom. This model uses two quiet and highly efficient fans to cool the exterior cooling coils and is typically mounted on a 13-inch high cabinet. The Sun Frost R19: is a refrigerator-only model with two equal-sized refrigerator sections. It does not need defrosting and incorporates a passive [no fans] cooling system. The Sun Frost F19: is our largest freezer-only unit. It has two equal-sized compartments incorporating two independently controlled cooling systems. One compartment may be turned off to conserve energy when its storage space is not required. It uses the same fans as the RF19 to cool its cooling coils. Product Highlights : Efficiency - Plus The Sun Frost refrigerator employs an array of design innovations to achieve its exceptionally low energy consumption. The cooling system on the Sun Frost is top mounted. This configuration reduces energy consumption several ways. The heat generated by the compressor and condenser [black coils on the back of many refrigerators] does not re-enter the refrigerator and also with a cooler running condenser, the efficiency of the cooling system is increased. Quiet Operation Quiet and highly efficient fan help cool the condenser. Because of the efficient design of the Sun Frost, the compressors used run less often, are much smaller and produce correspondingly less noise than those found on a conventional refrigerator. These features make the Sun Frost much quieter than a conventional AC refrigerator. Simple Defrost System Defrosting a Sun Frost is a simple process. Frost build-up in the Sun Frost freezer is very slow because there is no air circulating between the freezer and refrigerator sections. The ice that forms in the freezer collects primarily on the ceiling. When defrosting the freezer section, the contents of the freezer may be transferred to the refrigerator section so they remain frozen. After the refrigerator has been turned off for about twenty minutes, the ice is easily removed in large pieces. There is no mop-up because the ice does not need to be melted, only separated from the flat ceiling. Superior Storage Conditions Sun Frost refrigerators keep food fresher by maintaining high humidity. This prevents freezer burn and wilting caused by water loss in food. Since there is minimal water loss in foods stored in a Sun Frost, foods often last two to three times longer than in conventional refrigerators. In typical refrigerators, water, which is part of stored food, is transformed into ice on the freezer's cooling coils. This process results in the dehydration of fruits and vegetables, increases energy consumption, and accelerates frost build-up. In a conventional refrigerator, high humidity is achieved by storing food in airtight containers, which creates high humidity conditions, but cuts off the food's oxygen supply. Without oxygen, plant cells break down more rapidly, which decreases shelf life. The Sun Frost allows you to store food in breathable containers, such as paper bags, often more than doubling storage life. Fewer Solar Panels The Sun Frost refrigerator typically reduces refrigerator energy consumption by a factor of five compared to the typical household refrigerator currently in use. The accompanying cost of the solar power system is similarly reduced. Reliable The cooling system of the Sun Frost refrigerator contains a minimal number of moving parts. Both the DC and AC compressors incorporate highly reliable, hermetically sealed, brushless motors. The efficient thermal design of Sun Frost refrigerators also contributes to their reliability. The top-mounted cooling system runs at a lower temperature than most, which prolongs the life of the system's lubricants and reduces mechanical strain on the compressor. The cooling system should provide well over 15 years of trouble-free operation. Cooler Summer Kitchen During the summer, a typical refrigerator adds as much heat to your kitchen as a 1000 watt heater running four hours per day! The energy needed by your air conditioner to remove this excess heat will be about half the energy consumed by your refrigerator. Increasing the cost of running your refrigerator by an additional 50%. By producing much less waste heat than a conventional refrigerator, a Sun Frost makes your kitchen more comfortable and reduces the cost of air-conditioning your home. More Sensible use of Kitchen Space Sun Frost refrigerators are designed to be mounted on a cabinet. With the refrigerator raised, all stored food will then be at a convenient height. In addition, a cabinet beneath the refrigerator provides much more accessible storage space than a ceiling mounted cabinet. The cabinet could be built by the homeowner to match other kitchen cabinets or supplied by Sun Frost. Sun Frost manufactures a 13-inch high cabinet for the Sun Frost RF16 and RF19 refrigerators and a 24-inch high cabinet for the Sun Frost RF12. Each cabinet has two large side-by-side drawers. A Sun Frost refrigerator can be placed against a wall, minimizing floor area utilized. It will not have to be moved for either cleaning or servicing. Custom Styling and Finishes Each custom built Sun Frost refrigerator is available in more than 100 colors of high-pressure laminate, many natural wood finishes and now a new stainless steel design. Rugged Design All Sun Frost refrigerators are completely rust-proof. The spacious interior, made from sturdy fiberglass-reinforced plastic, is exceptionally easy to clean, with no exposed ducts, tubing or inaccessible corners. The adjustable door shelves can accommodate half-gallon beverage containers, while adjustable glass shelves line the refrigerator section. Reliability Sun Frost refrigerators have proved themselves reliable. Over the past 12 years they have been installed in over 50 developing countries and have held up under the harshest conditions. For critical applications, far from supporting infrastructure, from Borneo to Botswana, Sun Frost refrigerators have delivered consistently dependable performance day in and day out. ___________________________________________________ HELP » Contact Customer Support • Toll-Free help line offering product info and ordering support • Online e-mail technical and installation support • Product cost-of-operation evaluations and comparisons ___________________________________________________ Product Specifications : Sun Frost Refrigerator Energy Usage RF19* Half Refrigerator Half Freezer Daily Energy Use amp hrs @ 12 VDC / kwh @ 110 VAC at 70°F 21°C: 62 amp-hrs / .77 kWh at 90°F 32°C: 82 amp-hrs / 1.02 kWh Height 66" Width 34.5" Depth 27.75" Weigth 320 lbs [Shipping: export add 40 lbs] Volume 46 C.F R19** Refrigerator Only Daily Energy Use amp hrs @ 12 VDC / kwh @ 110 VAC at 70°F 21°C: 28 amp-hrs / .33 kWh at 90°F 32°C: 47 amp-hrs / .56 kWh Height 66" Width 34.5" Depth 27.75" Weigth 310 lbs [Shipping: export add 40 lbs] Volume 46 C.F F19 Freezer Only Daily Energy Use amp hrs @ 12 VDC / kwh @ 110 VAC at 70°F 21°C: 100 amp-hrs / 1.25 kWh at 90°F 32°C: 130 amp-hrs / 1.63 kWh Height 66" Width 34.5" Depth 27.75" Weigth 320 lbs [Shipping: export add 40 lbs] Volume 46 C.F RF19* : Choice of Freezer on top or bottom.

Please note that we are unable to work with glossy laminates because they are less scratch-resistant and durable than matte finishes. Although these companies provide printed brochures with all of their color choices, it is not recommended that the customer make a final color decision based on printed charts as printed colors often vary from the true laminate material. A final decision should be made using actual color samples from a “chip board.” A chip board can usually be found at a local building supply, cabinet/countertop shop, paint or hardware store. At the time you place your order, Sun Frost will need the brand name, color name, and color number of the laminate chosen. There are hundreds of colors to choose from to match any decor you can dream of! Wood: We can use most readily available wood species [no rare or exotic species]. Our wood finishes are generally a veneer plywood or MDF core panel. We do not apply any finished coating or stain to our woods, allowing the customer to match existing cabinetry or finish as desired. The most common wood finishes are oak, knotty pine, cherry, hickory, walnut, and maple. Please call us for other wood types. Stainless Steel: We now offer stainless steel and faux stainless steel options. The first consists of a high-pressure laminate backer with an overlay of real stainless steel. Because of the high cost of this material, we cover the front of the refrigerator with stainless steel, and cover the sides of the unit in black laminate. As a less expensive option, Wilsonart offers a faux stainless steel laminate that is very popular. Call for details and pricing. Unfinished: We can also ship our refrigerators, freezers, and base cabinets “unfinished” with just bare plywood [no laminate or veneer]. The aluminum door handle[s] and trim is included but not installed on “unfinished” products. The customer can apply his or her own finish material. Many interesting finishes have been applied by our do-it-yourself customers including corkboard, metals, and woven rattan materials.

Producing the 110 KWH needed to run the typical refrigerator on a solar power system would require an investment of around $12,000 in hardware, batteries, and inverter. A Sun Frost RF16 will reduce this cost by a factor of at least six because of its increased efficiency and the elimination of inverter losses. Inverters convert DC battery power to 120V AC at an energy loss of about 10%. Reliable The cooling system of the Sun Frost refrigerator contains a minimal number of moving parts. Both the DC and AC compressors incorporate highly reliable, hermetically sealed, brushless motors. The efficient thermal design of Sun Frost refrigerators also contributes to their reliability. The top-mounted cooling system runs at a lower temperature than most, which prolongs the life of the system's lubricants and reduces mechanical strain on the compressor. The cooling system should provide well over 15 years of trouble-free operation. Cooler Summer Kitchen During the summer, a typical refrigerator adds as much heat to your kitchen as a 1000 watt heater running four hours per day! The energy needed by your air conditioner to remove this excess heat will be about half the energy consumed by your refrigerator. Increasing the cost of running your refrigerator by an additional 50%. By producing much less waste heat than a conventional refrigerator, a Sun Frost makes your kitchen more comfortable and reduces the cost of air-conditioning your home. More Sensible use of Kitchen Space Sun Frost refrigerators are designed to be mounted on a cabinet. With the refrigerator raised, all stored food will then be at a convenient height. In addition, a cabinet beneath the refrigerator provides much more accessible storage space than a ceiling mounted cabinet. The cabinet could be built by the homeowner to match other kitchen cabinets or supplied by Sun Frost. Sun Frost manufactures a 13-inch high cabinet for the Sun Frost RF16. Each cabinet has two large side-by-side drawers. A Sun Frost refrigerator can be placed against a wall, minimizing floor area utilized. It will not have to be moved for either cleaning or servicing. Custom Styling and Finishes Each custom built Sun Frost refrigerator is available in more than 100 colors of high-pressure laminate, many natural wood finishes and now a new stainless steel design. Rugged Design All Sun Frost refrigerators are completely rust-proof. The spacious interior, made from sturdy fiberglass-reinforced plastic, is exceptionally easy to clean, with no exposed ducts, tubing or inaccessible corners. The adjustable door shelves can accommodate half-gallon beverage containers, while adjustable glass shelves line the refrigerator section. Reliability Sun Frost refrigerators have proved themselves reliable. Over the past 12 years they have been installed in over 50 developing countries and have held up under the harshest conditions. For critical applications, far from supporting infrastructure, from Borneo to Botswana, Sun Frost refrigerators have delivered consistently dependable performance day in and day out. ___________________________________________________ HELP » Contact Customer Support • Toll-Free help line offering product info and ordering support • Online e-mail technical and installation support • Product cost-of-operation evaluations and comparisons ___________________________________________________ Product Specifications: Sun Frost Refrigerator Energy Usage RF16** Refrigerator - Freezer Daily Energy Use amp hrs @ 12 VDC / kwh @ 110 VAC at 70°F 21°C: 40 amp-hrs / .48 kWh at 90°F 32°C: 58 amp-hrs / .70 kWh Height 62.5" Width 34.5" Depth 27.75" Weigth 300 lbs [Shipping: export add 40 lbs] Volume 44 C.F RF16** : ENERGY STAR® qualified models.

Energy Savings > Appliances Sun Frost Sun Frost Refrigerator/Freezer Single Compressor Custom Designed Please call for shipping quote 800-333-9276 or email sales@solardirect.com SunFrost Refrigerator/Freezer Single Compressor Model RF12 The world's most elegant refrigerators are also the most efficient! Along with energy efficiency, the SUN FROST offers other advantages not found in conventional refrigerators, including food-saving high-humidity storage, quiet operation and an easy to clean interior. With its clean, uninterrupted lines and choice of more than 100 colors and numerous natural wood finishes, the custom-built SUN FROST refrigerator adds elegance to every kitchen. For the past 19 years, Sun Frost refrigerators/freezers have been used in over 50 countries and have an excellent track record. Sun Frost units are ruggedly constructed and will provide many years of reliable operation, even in the harshest environments. The Sun Frost RF12 is a single compressor refrigerator freezer with a passive [no fans] cooling system. For convenience it is typically mounted on a 24" high cabinet. The matching cabinet made by Sun Frost has two large side-by-side drawers. Product Applications: • Residential Kitchens • Can run by photovoltaic or utility power • Can run directly from battery, no generator necessary • Boats, RVs, conversion buses. No need to level refrigerator • and vibration will not affect its operation. Solar Photovoltaic Power: In an energy-efficient home powered by photovoltaics or other low-output energy sources, refrigeration is typically the largest consumer of electricity. But the super-efficient SUN FROST refrigerator makes these alternative technologies both feasible and affordable. The cost of a solar power system is typically more than the cost of a refrigerator, so efficiency is of prime importance in reducing system costs. As a result of the extremely low energy consumption of Sun Frost units, the cost of a power system will be drastically reduced. Utility Power: In a home using utility power, SUN FROST normally cuts energy consumption by 80% Product Features: • Rustproof cabinet and hardware [made of wood] • Unexposed evaporator - cannot be punctured during defrosting • All copper cooling system prevents corrosion • Condenser is easy to clean and minimally affected by dust/cobwebs • Convenient front loading storage - contents don’t need to be piled up • Tested & approved by the World Health Organization (RFVB-134a) • One-piece liners make cleaning and defrosting easier • High humidity storage conditions resulting in longer food storage • Quiet operations • Generates less heat keeping kitchens cooler during the hot summer • Standard laminate color is white • A wide variety of custom laminates and wood veneers are available • [scroll to the bottom of the page for details] Product Highlights : Efficiency - Plus The Sun Frost refrigerator employs an array of design innovations to achieve its exceptionally low energy consumption. The cooling system on the Sun Frost is top mounted. This configuration reduces energy consumption several ways. The heat generated by the compressor and condenser (black coils on the back of many refrigerators) does not re-enter the refrigerator and also with a cooler running condenser, the efficiency of the cooling system is increased. Quiet Operation Because of the efficient design of the Sun Frost, the compressors used run less often, are much smaller and produce correspondingly less noise than those found on a conventional refrigerator. These features make the Sun Frost much quieter than a conventional AC refrigerator. Simple Defrost System Defrosting a Sun Frost is a simple process. Frost build-up in the Sun Frost freezer is very slow because there is no air circulating between the freezer and refrigerator sections. The ice that forms in the freezer collects primarily on the ceiling. When defrosting the freezer section, the contents of the freezer may be transferred to the refrigerator section so they remain frozen. After the refrigerator has been turned off for about twenty minutes, the ice is easily removed in large pieces. There is no mop-up because the ice does not need to be melted, only separated from the flat ceiling. Superior Storage Conditions Sun Frost refrigerators keep food fresher by maintaining high humidity. This prevents freezer burn and wilting caused by water loss in food. Since there is minimal water loss in foods stored in a Sun Frost, foods often last two to three times longer than in conventional refrigerators. In typical refrigerators, water, which is part of stored food, is transformed into ice on the freezer's cooling coils. This process results in the dehydration of fruits and vegetables, increases energy consumption, and accelerates frost build-up. In a conventional refrigerator, high humidity is achieved by storing food in airtight containers, which creates high humidity conditions, but cuts off the food's oxygen supply. Without oxygen, plant cells break down more rapidly, which decreases shelf life. The Sun Frost allows you to store food in breathable containers, such as paper bags, often more than doubling storage life. Reliable The cooling system of the Sun Frost refrigerator contains a minimal number of moving parts. Both the DC and AC compressors incorporate highly reliable, hermetically sealed, brushless motors. The efficient thermal design of Sun Frost refrigerators also contributes to their reliability. The top-mounted cooling system runs at a lower temperature than most, which prolongs the life of the system's lubricants and reduces mechanical strain on the compressor.

Energy Savings > Appliances Sun Frost Sun Frost - Compact Refrigerator or Freezer Custom Designed Please call for shipping quote 800-333-9276 or email sales@solardirect.com Sun Frost Compact Refrigerator or Freezer Models R10/F10 The world's most elegant refrigerators are also the most efficient! Along with energy efficiency, the SUN FROST offers other advantages not found in conventional refrigerators, including food-saving high-humidity storage, quiet operation and an easy to clean interior. With its clean, uninterrupted lines and choice of more than 100 colors and numerous natural wood finishes, the custom-built SUN FROST refrigerator adds elegance to every kitchen. For the past 19 years, Sun Frost refrigerators/freezers have been used in over 50 countries and have an excellent track record. Sun Frost units are ruggedly constructed and will provide many years of reliable operation, even in the harshest environments. Sun Frost R10 and F10 The Sun Frost R10 and F10 are the same width & depth as our larger models but are shorter, and for maximum convenience would require a higher base cabinet. The R10 is a refrigerator-only unit and the F10 is a freezer-only unit Product Applications: • Residential Kitchens • Can run by photovoltaic or utility power • Can run directly from battery, no generator necessary • Boats, RVs, conversion buses. No need to level refrigerator • and vibration will not affect its operation. Solar Photovoltaic Power: In an energy-efficient home powered by photovoltaics or other low-output energy sources, refrigeration is typically the largest consumer of electricity. But the super-efficient SUN FROST refrigerator makes these alternative technologies both feasible and affordable. The cost of a solar power system is typically more than the cost of a refrigerator, so efficiency is of prime importance in reducing system costs. As a result of the extremely low energy consumption of Sun Frost units, the cost of a power system will be drastically reduced. Utility Power: In a home using utility power, SUN FROST normally cuts energy consumption by 80% Product Features: • Rustproof cabinet and hardware [made of wood] • Unexposed evaporator - cannot be punctured during defrosting • All copper cooling system prevents corrosion • Condenser is easy to clean and minimally affected by dust/cobwebs • Convenient front loading storage - contents don’t need to be piled up • One-piece liners make cleaning and defrosting easier • High humidity storage conditions resulting in longer food storage • Quiet operations • Generates less heat keeping kitchens cooler during the hot summer • Standard laminate color is white • A wide variety of custom laminates and wood veneers are available • [scroll to the bottom of the page for details] Product Highlights : Efficiency - Plus The Sun Frost refrigerator employs an array of design innovations to achieve its exceptionally low energy consumption. The cooling system on the Sun Frost is top mounted. This configuration reduces energy consumption several ways. The heat generated by the compressor and condenser [black coils on the back of many refrigerators] does not re-enter the refrigerator and also with a cooler running condenser, the efficiency of the cooling system is increased. Quiet Operation Because of the efficient design of the Sun Frost, the compressors used run less often, are much smaller and produce correspondingly less noise than those found on a conventional refrigerator. These features make the Sun Frost much quieter than a conventional AC refrigerator. Simple Defrost System Defrosting a Sun Frost is a simple process. Frost build-up in the Sun Frost freezer is very slow because there is no air circulating between the freezer and refrigerator sections. The ice that forms in the freezer collects primarily on the ceiling. When defrosting the freezer section, the contents of the freezer may be transferred to the refrigerator section so they remain frozen. After the refrigerator has been turned off for about twenty minutes, the ice is easily removed in large pieces. There is no mop-up because the ice does not need to be melted, only separated from the flat ceiling. Superior Storage Conditions Sun Frost refrigerators keep food fresher by maintaining high humidity. This prevents freezer burn and wilting caused by water loss in food. Since there is minimal water loss in foods stored in a Sun Frost, foods often last two to three times longer than in conventional refrigerators. In typical refrigerators, water, which is part of stored food, is transformed into ice on the freezer's cooling coils. This process results in the dehydration of fruits and vegetables, increases energy consumption, and accelerates frost build-up. In a conventional refrigerator, high humidity is achieved by storing food in airtight containers, which creates high humidity conditions, but cuts off the food's oxygen supply. Without oxygen, plant cells break down more rapidly, which decreases shelf life. The Sun Frost allows you to store food in breathable containers, such as paper bags, often more than doubling storage life. Fewer Solar Panels The Sun Frost refrigerator typically reduces refrigerator energy consumption by a factor of five compared to the typical household refrigerator currently in use. The accompanying cost of the solar power system is similarly reduced. Reliable The cooling system of the Sun Frost refrigerator contains a minimal number of moving parts. Both the DC and AC compressors incorporate highly reliable, hermetically sealed, brushless motors. The efficient thermal design of Sun Frost refrigerators also contributes to their reliability. The top-mounted cooling system runs at a lower temperature than most, which prolongs the life of the system's lubricants and reduces mechanical strain on the compressor. The cooling system should provide well over 15 years of trouble-free operation. Cooler Summer Kitchen During the summer, a typical refrigerator adds as much heat to your kitchen as a 1000 watt heater running four hours per day! The energy needed by your air conditioner to remove this excess heat will be about half the energy consumed by your refrigerator. Increasing the cost of running your refrigerator by an additional 50%. By producing much less waste heat than a conventional refrigerator, a Sun Frost makes your kitchen more comfortable and reduces the cost of air-conditioning your home. Custom Styling and Finishes Each custom built Sun Frost refrigerator is available in more than 100 colors of high-pressure laminate, many natural wood finishes and now a new stainless steel design. Rugged Design All Sun Frost refrigerators are completely rust-proof. The spacious interior, made from sturdy fiberglass-reinforced plastic, is exceptionally easy to clean, with no exposed ducts, tubing or inaccessible corners. The adjustable door shelves can accommodate half-gallon beverage containers, while adjustable glass shelves line the refrigerator section. Reliability Sun Frost refrigerators have proved themselves reliable. Over the past 12 years they have been installed in over 50 developing countries and have held up under the harshest conditions. For critical applications, far from supporting infrastructure, from Borneo to Botswana, Sun Frost refrigerators have delivered consistently dependable performance day in and day out. ___________________________________________________ HELP » Contact Customer Support • Toll-Free help line offering product info and ordering support • Online e-mail technical and installation support • Product cost-of-operation evaluations and comparisons ___________________________________________________ Product Benefits : Product Specifications : Sun Frost Refrigerator Energy Usage R10 Refrigerator Only Daily Energy Use amp hrs @ 12 VDC / kwh @ 110 VAC at 70°F 21°C: 13 amp-hrs / .17 kWh at 90°F 32°C: 23 amp-hrs / .28 kWh Height 43.5" Width 34.5" Depth 27.75" Weigth 215 lbs [Shipping: export add 40 lbs] Volume 32 C.F F10 Freezer Only Daily Energy Use amp hrs @ 12 VDC / kwh @ 110 VAC at 70°F 21°C: 55 amp-hrs / .69 kWh at 90°F 32°C: 70 amp-hrs / .88 kWh Height 43.5" Width 34.5" Depth 27.75" Weigth 215 lbs [Shipping: export add 40 lbs] Volume 32 C.F Voltage: All models are available in 12 volt DC, 24 volt DC, 110AC, or 220AC.

SUN FROST Custom Color Choices Sun Frost refrigerators, freezers, and matching cabinets come standard with a white laminate finish or you may choose from a variety of color and wood choices available: Colors: You can select from any of the matte finish laminate colors from Wilsonart, Formica, or Nevamar brands, including textures. Please note that we are unable to work with glossy laminates because they are less scratch-resistant and durable than matte finishes. Although these companies provide printed brochures with all of their color choices, it is not recommended that the customer make a final color decision based on printed charts as printed colors often vary from the true laminate material. A final decision should be made using actual color samples from a “chip board.” A chip board can usually be found at a local building supply, cabinet/countertop shop, paint or hardware store. At the time you place your order, Sun Frost will need the brand name, color name, and color number of the laminate chosen. There are hundreds of colors to choose from to match any decor you can dream of! Wood: We can use most readily available wood species [no rare or exotic species]. Our wood finishes are generally a veneer plywood or MDF core panel. We do not apply any finished coating or stain to our woods, allowing the customer to match existing cabinetry or finish as desired. The most common wood finishes are oak, knotty pine, cherry, hickory, walnut, and maple. Please call us for other wood types. Stainless Steel: We now offer stainless steel and faux stainless steel options. The first consists of a high-pressure laminate backer with an overlay of real stainless steel. Because of the high cost of this material, we cover the front of the refrigerator with stainless steel, and cover the sides of the unit in black laminate. As a less expensive option, Wilsonart offers a faux stainless steel laminate that is very popular. Call for details and pricing. Unfinished: We can also ship our refrigerators, freezers, and base cabinets “unfinished” with just bare plywood [no laminate or veneer]. The aluminum door handle[s] and trim is included but not installed on “unfinished” products. The customer can apply his or her own finish material. Many interesting finishes have been applied by our do-it-yourself customers including corkboard, metals, and woven rattan materials.

Solar: The Tulsi-Hybrid Solar Cooking Oven can be a solar oven all by itself. Simply point the Tulsi-Hybrid towards the sun and adjust the back reflector panel to shine the sun’s sunlight into the oven’s dark cooking chamber. It’s that easy. Electric: The Tulsi-Hybrid Solar Cooking Oven can be an electric oven all by itself. The Tulsi-Hybrid is thermostatically controlled and cycles on and off after reaching cooking temperature. It’s so easy to use just plug the Tulsi-Hybrid’s power cord into any standard 110-volt electrical outlet. The power source can from the electric company, a DC/AC inverter, or any back up generator. Highest Wattage required: 400 watts [+/- 10%]. Solar/Electric: The Tulsi-Hybrid Solar Cooking Oven can be used in combination solar oven and electric oven. We call using both solar and electric in combination - peace of mind. It’s the best of all worlds. You can solar cook more often and never have to worry about clouds again. When the sun is out the oven acts as a solar oven but when the sun disappears the oven acts as an electric oven cycling itself on and off between electric and solar when the sun reappears. Forget the roller coaster cooking temperatures and the threat of bacterial food poisoning that can happen with solar only ovens. The Tulsi-Hybrid’s two setting thermostat automatically controls and maintains the cooking temperature inside the oven chamber so your food is always safe and cooked to perfection even when the weather isn’t. ________________________________________________________ Product Manufacturer: Rohitas Electronics Note: Each Tulsi-Hybid solar cooker is assembled by hand. The Tulsi-Hybrid solar cooking oven’s yellow sunburst design is made through a hand applied process, thus, one could say that each and every Tulsi-Hybrid is individually unique. You can rest assured that the yellow sunburst’s design condition has no impact what so ever on the operation of the Tulsi-Hybrid solar cooking oven. Slight pattern over run or other imperfections in the case can be a consequence of this hand craft process. *30 Day Money Back Guarantee If you are not 100% satisfied with the Tulsi-Hybrid Oven, call us within 30 days and we will arrange to pick up the unit at no cost to you. We will refund your purchase price [less the original shipping and handling] that you paid.

D - Solar pump - Pumps water through solar panels E - Solar controller – Turns solar pump on and off automatically F - Tempering valve- Safety device to cool down the solar hot water Optional: G - Tankless water heater. Replaces a conventional water heater VIEW » Installation Photographs READ » Trendsetter Installation Manual How It Works: The storage tank contains tap water. One sensor is mounted at the solar collector and one sensor is installed in a “dry dip tube” inside of the storage tank. When the solar collector is hotter than the water in the storage tank, the solar pump slowly circulates the tank water through the solar collector on the roof. The water in the storage tank will gradually rise in temperature. The water will rise 5°F-10°F in temperature between the time the water enters the solar collector and the time it leaves the solar collector. When hot water is used in the house, the cold water is pre-heated as it courses through the heat exchanger immersed in the solar heated water stored in the insulated storage tank. If the water temperature exiting the heat exchanger is below the desired 120°F standard water heater set temperature output, the tank-less water heater will flash on to boost the water temperature. For example if the water temperature pre-heated by the solar, is 100°F the tank-less unit will provide just enough energy to boost the pre-heated water an additional 10° to 20° If the solar water in the tank 160°F, cold water will be drawn through the heat exchanger in the solar storage tank through the tank-less water heater with no additional energy input from the tank-less water heater. After leaving the tank-less water heater the 160°F water will be automatically mixed with cold water at the tempering valve to supply the desired 120°F water temperature to the fixtures. This device prevents scalding temperatures from reaching the hot water fixtures. The solar collectors will provide optimum solar energy over the year if installed as close to south and tilted to equal the degrees latitude of the house location. However for maximum space heating performance during the winter heating season, the solar collectors should be tilted more vertical e.g. latitude +20 degrees.

The Texsun solar collectors have been tested and proved by the Swedish National Testing and Research Institute (SP). High thermal efficiency Through its unique x-channel system the Texsun solar collectors give high thermal efficiency ratings (n0 = 80.7 %) and very quick heat response times. The high ratings are due to: • Large, active area of absorption • Dynamic water flow inside the collector • Low volume of water Product Application: • above-ground pools only Product Benefits • Heats the water to a pleasant temperature • Low weight, simple to use • Easy to install - no special skills or tool required • Complete with everything you need for basic installation • Easy to stow away when not used • Use the existing pool pump • Economic and environmentally friendly way to heat the pool Product Features: The solar collector is made of a black co-polymer material that is light-weight, flexible and durable. The UV-resistant material is durable against freezing, corrosion and chemicals. It is also resistant to lime deposits. The collector’s unique x-channel system has one of the highest heat efficiencies [n0=80,7 %] and shortest heating times on the market. This is made possible by a large active absorption area, the dynamic water flow and the small volume of water • 10 Year Manufacturer's Warranty El Niño Kit Contents Solar Collector (1.80 m 2 ) 39 square feet total area 2 pcs T-nipple 2 pcs Three way valve 2 pcs By-pass valve 1 pc Hose clamps 2 pcs End cap 2 pcs Adaptor bushes 32 - 38 mm 2 pcs Optional: Expansion Kit adds an additional 18 square feet of collector area.

For instance, the standard RA-28 model contains four 7000 watt elements for a total of 28,000 watts, or 28 kilowatts (kW) of power. The two-chamber model, RA-14, contains only two 7000 watt elements for a total power rating of 14,000 watts, or 14 kilowatts (kW). However, because of Seisco's "Power Sharing" technology, the heater may not always use the maximum available power. The power output can vary with flow rate and temperature rise. Refer to the Product Specifications Table above for the maximum power ratings of each model. Heating Output: The heating output of the Seisco is simply the total kilowatt power rating of the combined heating elements converted to BTUs using 3,413 BTU/kW. For instance, the RA-28 has a total power rating of 28 kW or a 95,564 BTU heat output rating. The four-chamber models have the higher output ratings; 61,434 BTUs for the RA-18 model, and 75,086 BTUs for the RA-22 model. The lower output two-chamber models, are; 47,782 BTUs for the RA-14, 37,543 BTUs for the RA-11, and 30,717 BTUs for the RA-9. These ratings vary with the operating voltage or service voltage to the heater. Refer to the Product Specifications Table for the BTU ratings of each model. Voltage Rating: Seisco heaters are manufactured with common 240 volt [AC] heating elements designed for optimum operation on a standard residential 240 volt [AC] electric service. Also, the Seisco will operate at 208 VAC, a typical commercial voltage, with standard 240 VAC heating elements. However, when operating the heater at 208 VAC, the power rating and the heat output rating is significantly reduced. Seisco models can be special ordered with 208 VAC heating elements to help maximize the power and heating output. Refer to the Product Specifications Table above for details on the various voltage ratings. Maximum Current Rating: Each Seisco Model has a maximum electrical current rating [or amp rating] equivalent to the sum of the heating element ratings. For example, a four-chamber model, RA-28, operating at 240 VAC has four heating elements, each with a maximum rating of 29 amps. The maximum current rating or total current rating of the RA-28 is therefore 116 amps or the sum of the four heating elements. However, because of Seisco's "Power Modulating Technology", the actual current measured during relatively low flow rates and/or low temperature rises can be less than the maximum rating of the heater during operation. Refer to the A [max] or maximum amp rating under "Electrical" in the Product Specifications Table above for each model. Temperature Rise: The temperature rise must be determined in order to help choose the appropriate Seisco heater. The rise can be determined by knowing the input water temperature and the desired output temperature of the heater. The Seisco's output temperature is typically set for about 120 degrees F at the factory. Therefore, if the input or cold water inlet temperature is 50 degrees F, then the temperature rise is the difference or 70 degrees F. If the desired output temperature is 125 degrees F, then the temperature rise would be 75 degrees F. With the temperature rise determined, the Product Specification Table above provides the associated flow rate capacity of the various Seisco models. Flow Rates: The flow rate for each model is given in the "Temperature Rise" section of the Product Specification Table above. Along with the temperature rise, the flow rate must also be determined in order to choose the appropriate Seisco heater. The flow rate is determined by the type of faucet and also, life style. Refer to the chart below for typical faucet flow rates in the home. However, if the desired life style in the home requires running multiple faucets at the same time, then the flow rates must be added together to determine the peak flow demand. The Seisco or the possibility of multiple Seiscos should be selected to match the peak flow rate. Below are typical flow rates for new residential construction. There may be exceptions with new designer type fixtures and faucets. For instance, large custom body spa showers whirl pool and Jacuzzi tubs may have faucets with flow rates ranging from 7 gpm to 14 gpm. However, a combination of multiple Seisco heaters [preferably plumbed in a parallel configuration] can be installed to match these higher flow rates. The same peak design approach would be necessary for the anticipated life style of multiple flow rates occurring at the same time. Otherwise, use the table below and match the Seisco according to the peak flow and associated temperature rise of a single tub or shower.

Energy Savings > Power Savings Solar Powered Attic Fan Save 30% on cooling costs! Solar Powered Attic Fan The environmentally friendly way to cool and protect your attic and roof! This unique, solar powered vent fan pulls the heat right out of your attic; it's so effective it can lower attic temperatures by as much as 50°. This means less heat dissipating back into your living area, less drain on your air conditioning system, and less cost to you. In fact, up to 30% less money spent on air conditioning costs alone. In the wintertime, the solar powered attic fan helps equalize the temperature between the attic inside and the outside air. This dramatically reduces the risk of ice dams forming at the eaves, a feature that could save you thousands. It reduces moisture build-up and prolongs the life of your roof. Even in newer homes that use vapor barriers, moisture can still sneak into the attic and condense on framing boards, roof decking, and insulation. The problem may be even worse in older homes that have settled and developed cracks or air leaks around bathroom exhaust fans or light fixtures. The attic fan forcibly expels this warm, moist air, helping prevent the growth of mold and mildew, and significantly reducing the chance of rotting the roofing materials. Just one Solar Fan is powerful enough to protect an entire home, it uses the most advanced solar panels to collect and deliver power directly from the sun to our highly efficient 12-volt DC motor inside the power vent. With its 12”, balanced-hub, aluminum fan blade, the fan forcibly expels hot air, providing fresh, cool air to keep your attic from overheating! The tough, weather-resistant panels collect solar energy even in reduced light and poor weather conditions and provide maximum cooling effect when it’s needed most--in the middle of the day. The solar attic fans operate without fuel, waste, or pollution and are wind, hail, and impact resistant. Product Applications: • Model 850 for attics up to 1200 square feet • Model 1050 for attics up to 1600 square feet • Model 1250 for attics up to 2000 square feet Product Benefits: • Proper attic ventilation • Extend your roof’s life • Save money on air conditioning • Reduce the chance of ice damming • Make your home more comfortable, cool, fresh and dry • Prevent mold growth and fungal decay • Fans come fully assembled & can be installed in less than an hour • $0 operating costs Product Features: • Solar Panel: The latest state-of-the-art circuitry captures sunlight even on overcast days. Totally weatherproof, our panels are designed for optimum efficiency and are hail, and extreme weather resistant. • Cover & Base: Molded with UV-stabilized ABS plastic to prevent damage from sunlight. The top has a shingled appearance that helps the unit blend in with the roof while also providing additional stability and strength. • Fan Blade: Specially designed 5-blade, 12" aluminum fan is pitched for maximum air flow. It operates whisper quiet with no harmonic noise. • Stainless Steel Screen: Keeps animals out while allowing maximum air flow. • Mounting Hardware: Stainless steel motor brackets and vertical standoffs provide a flexible and adjustable frame for easy removal or replacement. Product Warranty: 5 year warranty on the motor 10 year warranty on all other parts including the solar module ____________________________________________________ VIEW » Complete Product Description • Product Technical Specifications • Download Warranty and Installation Instructions • Read an Independent Article HELP » Contact Customer Support • Toll-Free help line offering sizing support • Online e-mail technical and installation support ____________________________________________________ Delivery Information: Please allow 3 to 7 business days for orders to be processed plus standard transportation delivery time. http://shop.solardirect.com/product_info.php?products_id=526 http://shop.solardirect.com/images/p-sunrise-attic-fan.gif 526 0 0.00 399.00

Some of the earlier HG controls and some other lesser known brands used 3k sensors. To determine the type of sensor, the resistance must be measured in ohms (using a volt/ohm meter) when the sensor is at 77 degrees F. 10k measures 10,000 ohms and 3k measures 3,000 ohms. As the temperature goes up, the resistance goes down. Resistance can be checked at any temperature, and then convert the ohm reading measured to the temperature equivalent by using the conversion chart .

Raypak offers a complete line of RP2100 gas heaters to fit almost every application. Inside and out, the RP2100 Digital is the result of over 50 years experience in the design, engineering and manufacturing of all types of residential and commercial pool, and water heaters. So dive in and take a look at the RP2100 that can meet your exact needs. ___________________________________________________________ Enjoy your pool... Extend your swim season! Your pool and spa are long term investments that you, your family and friends will enjoy year after year. Now there is an easier way to enjoy that investment more often, more reliably and more efficiently throughout the year... The RP2100 Built Raypak tough. Built to last. ___________________________________________________________ Raypak gas heaters will effortlessly raise your pool's temperature well into the 80-90 degree range, and/or your spa to 104 degrees, generate a rapid heat-up, plus ensure a constant temperature regardless of weather conditions. In addition to warming the water, the swimming season can be extended in cooler climates by as much as 50 percent. Raypak units require little to no maintenance, and typically last 5 to 10 years, or more. ___________________________________________________________ Available in Natural Gas or Liquid Propane Raypak RP2100 Standard Features for all models Wind Resistant • Built-in Wind Resistant Design The RP2100 has the best outdoor design in the market today. With over 50 years in designing and building gas heaters, Raypak has put all that experience into its RP2100 design. No need for fans to combat drafting problems, the RP2100 was designed for outdoor installations with its exclusive low profile design. It is so thoughtfully and carefully designed it actually protects itself from the things that tend to stifle ordinary pool and spa heaters: falling leaves, wind, airborne debris, rain, downdrafts, updrafts, sleet, snow, etc. In fact it is so efficiently designed it ensures uninterrupted heating performance regardless of all but the most extreme weather conditions. Cabinet • Smart Design One look will tell you that the Raypak RP2100 is different! The look is contemporary. The design is advanced. And inside and out it's engineered to last. The attractive forest green and charcoal gray panels complement the latest pool and spa equipment designs. Raypak's original "pagoda top" design will keep the RP2100 operating even in extreme wind conditions and downdrafts. • Polytuff Powder Coating The Raypak RP2100 has a polyester coated, non-corrosive cabinet that is more durable than solventborne and waterborne coated metal cabinets. Every piece of sheet metal that gets powder coated goes through a 7-stage wash system making certain the powder paint has a perfect bond. Underneath the tough and beautiful finish you will find galvanized metal that offers superior rust prevention and years of durable service. Non-Corrosive Waterways • Polymer Header The RP2100 incorporates the latest in header design technology. Raypak's state-of-the-art engineering department utilized the latest in 3-D computer aided design to engineer the part for optimal performance. Polymer resin headers prevent rust stains from harming your pools surface giving you years of trouble-free swimming pleasure • All Copper Fin Tube Heat Exchanger All Raypak RP2100 gas heaters come standard with integral copper finned tube. This means that the fin tubing is made from one piece of extruded copper tube. Since the fins are integral to the tube, maximum heat transfer is attained. Every Raypak RP2100 has the same robust design tube bundle that we use in our large gas commercial boilers. • Unitherm Governor Raypak engineered the Unitherm Governor specifically for pool heater applications, regulating low temperature incoming water, to help reduce condensation. The Unitherm Governor automatically regulates the water flow to help keep the water temperature in the heat exchanger above 105°F. Both water temperature and water flow rate are controlled to eliminate condensation, sooting, and scale buildup that can shorten heater life. • Automatic Bypass No need to worry about large pumps or high flow systems. The RP2100 comes with an automatic bypass built into the header. You'll find that the RP2100 delivers the industry's lowest pressure drop and highest water flow rate - up to 125 gallons per minute - exceeding the maximum recommended for 2" plumbing systems. More hot water moves through faster and more efficiently. • Stainless Steel Tube Sheet Stainless steel tube sheets are used on all RP2100 heaters that use the Polymer resin headers. This allows for a completely nonferrous waterway leaving your pool truly rust-free. • CPVC 2" Water Connections Standard with every RP2100 is a set of 2" slip fit CPVC water connections to make your installation secure and effortless. • Fuel Efficient Efficient? You bet. Energy-smart Raypak heaters consistently achieve the highest efficiency ratings and the RP2100 is no exception. It exceeds all federal and state standards. Combustion Chamber • Burner Tray Every RP2100 burner tray is built to last. From the stainless steel burners to the aluminized metal used in the heat sensitive areas. In the event that anything should happen to your burners they can be quickly and easily serviced. One more reason why the RP2100 is made to take the work load year after year. • Fire Tile A ceramic fiber combustion box keeps your RP2100 running efficiently and keeps the outside jacket cool. By using this space-age material the RP2100 won't retain residual heat after it is turned off, allowing it to be installed without the use of costly metal heat sinks. Quality • ISO 9001 Raypak is proud to be an ISO 9001 registered manufacturing plant. One more reason why Raypak is number one in the heater industry today. • End-of-Line Test Every Raypak gas pool heater is plumbed and test fired before it is put in the carton. This ensures that your heater will fire right out of the box and continue to give you years of trouble-free operation. • Quality Checkpoints The Raypak assembly process includes 6 final assembly quality checkpoints that help to ensure that each and every Raypak RP2100 is built correctly, and built to last. • CSA Certified All of Raypaks products are CSA certified. The RP2100 is tested by CSA to the ANSI Z21.56 standard. ___________________________________________________________ Raypak RP2100 - Millivolt Product Features Simple Controls • Mechanical Thermostat The RP2100 Millivolt gas heater comes with one mechanical thermostat. This control allows you to set your pool or spa temperature precisely at your favorite setting. Just set it, and forget it! Truly simple. • Millivolt Controls No power source is required for the RP2100 Millivolt heater. All operating electricity is supplied by the pilot thermocouple. ___________________________________________________________ Raypak RP2100 - Digital Product Features Digital Controls • Microprocessor Controlled Thermostat The RP2100 Digital gas heater comes with a microprocessor based thermostat control. This control allows you to set your pool or spa temperature precisely at your favorite setting just by pressing an up or down temperature control button. The Digital display gives you a constant read out of your pool water temperature. Just set it, and forget it! Truly simple. • Self Diagnostic Troubleshooting a gas heater has never been easier. The RP2100 Digital has on-board diagnostic controls that let the user and the service professional know what is going on with the heater at all times. In the event that you would ever have a problem with the heater, the digital display will show where the problem is in the control circuit. It's like having a service technician built into every heater! • Remote Compatible The RP2100 is compatible with most major pool control and remote systems on the market today. Any two-wire or three-wire remote can connect to the RP2110 Digital and be integrated into the pool control system of your choice. • Electronic Ignition RP2100 Digital heaters come standard with intermittent spark ignition pilot safety controls. What this means is that the pilot only comes on when there is a call for heat. This is a more energy efficient way to control you heaters gas usage by not having a standing pilot. Raypak has been using the same reliable electronic pilot ignition design for over 20 years. _________________________________________________________ VIEW » RP2100 Digital Technical Specifications - PDF format VIEW » RP2100 Millivolt Technical Specifications - PDF format _________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT Notes: • Use in high wind areas requires a High Wind Stack. • Indoor installation requires Indoor Draft Hood. • [Both purchased separately] ___________________________________________________________ http://shop.solardirect.com/product_info.php?products_id=554 http://shop.solardirect.com/images/p_raypak_gas_heater.gif 554 6 0.00 1,535.42

NOx is the generic term for a group of highly reactive gases, all of which contain nitrogen and oxygen in varying amounts. Many of the nitrogen oxides are colorless and odorless. However, one common pollutant, nitrogen dioxide (NO2) along with particles in the air can often be seen as a reddish-brown layer over many urban areas. Nitrogen oxides form when fuel is burned at high temperatures, as in a combustion process. The primary sources of NOx are motor vehicles, electric utilities, and other industrial, commercial, and residential sources that burn fuels Where does it come from? NOx form when fuel is burned at high temperatures, as in a combustion process. The primary sources of NOx are motor vehicles, electric utilities, and other industrial, commercial, and residential sources that burn fuels. Utilities: 27% Motor Vehicle: 49% Industrial/Commercial/Residential: 19% All Other Sources: 5% NOx is one of the main ingredients involved in the formation of ground-level ozone, which can trigger serious respiratory problems. NOx: • Reacts to form nitrate particles, acid aerosols, as well as NO2, which • also cause respiratory problems. • Contributes to formation of acid rain. • Contributes to nutrient overload that deteriorates water quality. • Contributes to atmospheric particles, that cause visibility impairment • most noticeable in national parks. • Reacts to form toxic chemicals. • Contributes to global warming. NOx and the pollutants formed from NOx can be transported over long distances, following the pattern of prevailing winds in the U.S. This means that problems associated with NOx are not confined to areas where NOx is emitted. Therefore, controlling NOx is often most effective if done from a regional perspective, rather than focusing on sources in one local area. NOx Emissions are increasing Since 1970, EPA has tracked emissions of the six principal air pollutants - carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, and volatile organic compounds. Emissions of all of these pollutants have decreased significantly except for NOx, which has increased approximately 10 percent over this period. Health and Environmental Impacts of NOx NOx causes a wide variety of health and environmental impacts because of various compounds and derivatives in the family of nitrogen oxides, including nitrogen dioxide, nitric acid, nitrous oxide, nitrates, and nitric oxide. ______________________________________________________________ *Due to ongoing price changes, a quote is required at this time for the following states: AK, HI, MT, WY, DC.
