4x10 Solar Pool Heating Panels with 2 Inch Header for replacement of Fafco
& Aquatherm panels [size matches most Fafco/Aquatherm brand panels;
check specifications vs existing panel to ensure exact fit - slight variations
in length can usually be compensated for with connecting rubber couplings] Note:
the absorber surface is flat with internal oval tubes compared to the original
Fafco brand which has round tubes exposed tubes; this variation in surface may
be noticeable from the ground and should be considered if aesthetics is a major
concern.
Also consider replacing your entire aging system to a new Vortex
system complete
kits are available to replace all of the panels and roof hardware.

Product Applications:
Custom Configurations
Single Panels
are ideal for adding one or more different sized panels to a Standard, Deluxe,
or Premium Kit for the purpose of creating a custom configuration to accommodate
complex roof designs. [See specific notes and examples directly
below*].
Replacement or Repair
Single Panels are also
perfect for replacing one or more panels on an existing system in need of
repairs [VORTEX will connect to most other manufactures
products see product specifications].
Boosting Operating Temperature
When high temperatures are desired or required, increasing heat
higher than standard operating temperatures of 80-85 degree
range on a new or existing system can be achieved by simply adding
panels [See Specific Formula Sizing Guide for detailed instructions].
Improving Poor
Performance
Adding one or more panels to an existing
installed system is an excellent way to increase the inadequate heating
performance of an under-engineered solar pool heating system.
*Custom Configurations Note: Combining different
size panels requires the use of a Split Kit; purchase in the product listing
section.
*Custom Configurations Example: Combining six
4x10s on roof A with two 4x10s on roof B. In this example the customer would
order a six panel 4x10 Standard, Deluxe, or Premium Solar Heater Kit, and
separately order a quantity of two additional Single 4x8 Panels, which include
accompanying Hardware Kit for each panel, plus one Split Kit.
IMPORTANT Note: Special discounts are available on large quantity
orders, and for licensed pool and building contractors; please contact a
Customer Service Agent.
