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 $296,   discounted $50 off.
4x12 Solar Pool Heating Panels with 2 Inch Header for replacement of Fafco 
& Aquathermpanels [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 orRepair
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]. 
 ImprovingPoor 
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 4x12s 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.
