CAUTION:
DO NOT BUILD A RACK SUPORT AGAINST THE SIDE OF
THE POOL OR AGAINST A POOL FENCE THAT COULD ALLOW
CHILDREN TO CLIMB UP AND OVER INTO THE POOL.
OPTIONAL RACK MOUNTING INFORMATION
Many poolowners prefer to construct a rack for mounting their collectors on the ground. Your solar col-
lector will heat best if it is insulated against the ground, especially early in the season when the ground
is still cold. A platform or even black plastic under the collector will help.
If the collector is to be mounted on a sloped rack, please refer to the drawing below for a suggested
design and a bill of materials. A sloped rack should face in a southerly direction, get full sun for most of
the day and be constructed so that it does not provide access to the pool for children.
