CLEARANCE: Blemished panels available occasionally at
discount price; pickup only at Sarasota Warehouse only. These panels are brand
new with full factory warranty; the panels are assembled in four 1 foot strips
which are connected together with a tack weld. This is to hold the individual
strips in place during shipping and handling until they are placed on the
roof. In some cases, the tack weld will separate during rolling, shipping or
un-rolling of the panel. This is normal and does not in any way affect the
integrity or performance of the panel. These panels had the seams separate
during the rolling process for shipment, and now cannot be properly rolled for
shipping - they are otherwise perfectly good for installation. Normally $240,
discounted $50 off.
4x8 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 4x8s on roof A with two 4x12s on roof B. In this example the
customer would order a six panel 4x8 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.
