SunLink Pro Solar Pool Heater Panel

Only if your existing panels are SunLink Pro. The Integrated Link System™ union is molded into both ends of every SunLink Pro panel and connects only to another SunLink Pro union; it won’t join a system that uses rubber hoses and hose clamps, or a clamp joint with no hoses. For those systems, see the SwimEasy panel (hose-and-clamp) or the SwimJoy panel (clamp joint). A whole system can be replaced with SunLink Pro using a SunLink Pro DIY kit.

Yes. Any of the five lengths twists onto the end of a row — every length carries the same union. If the panel you add is a different length from the one it joins, an additional Row Spacer Kit will be required at that change. Each added panel will require a Panel Installation Kit, which provides the installation hardware for the new panel, and starting a new row takes a Row Installation Kit as well. Size the whole system rather than the add-on: the sizing guide works from your pool’s surface area, how much of the year you want to swim, and the panels you already have. See Add a Panel above, or let our free system design map it for you.

Start from the roof: measure the clear run you have, choose the longest length that fits, and mix lengths to work around hips, valleys, and dormers — with a Row Spacer Kit at each change from one length to another. The sizing guide works out how many panels your pool needs, or send us your pool size and roof dimensions for a free system design. Replacing a damaged SunLink Pro panel? Match its length: measure from the outside edge of the top header to the outside edge of the bottom header and match it to the measured-length column in the Sizes & specs table.

Yes. All five SunLink Pro panel lengths use the same Integrated Link System™, so different lengths can be used within the same array. This makes it possible to use available roof space more efficiently without requiring a single uniform panel length. If transitioning between panel sizes, an additional Row Spacer Kit will be required. This is the hardware kit used between panel size splits — you’ll need one each time the array changes from one length to another.

Each added panel will require a Panel Installation Kit, which provides the installation hardware for the new panel — two manifold clamps and the tube support joiners for that length. There is no separate high-wind kit for SunLink Pro; the manifold clamps are the mounting. Roof fasteners and sealant aren’t supplied — pick those up at a hardware store for your roof type, or ask us what your roof needs.

One SunLink Pro solar pool heater panel in the length you select, with the Integrated Link System™ union molded into both ends. Manifold clamps, tube support joiners, Row Spacer Kits, and row plumbing parts are sold separately.

In climates where freezing temperatures occur, the system must be protected: either complete gravity drainage whenever the pump stops, or an automated control system with active freeze protection enabled whenever temperatures may fall below 40°F (4.4°C). Freeze damage is excluded from warranty coverage. Automation systems with freeze protection are available — call and speak with one of our installation specialists.

It depends on how much of the system is new. The SunLink Pro DIY kit bundles panels with their installation kits and the row plumbing, sized for your pool; single panels make sense when you’re adding to a SunLink Pro system whose mounting and plumbing are already in place. Ask us and we’ll compare the two for your system, or request a free system design.

SunLink Pro includes a 15-year / lifetime limited warranty — the longest in the solar pool heating industry. Years 1–15 cover 100% of the affected collector. From year 16 through the lifetime of the original collector, a credit equal to 50% of the then-current published MSRP applies. The warranty is non-transferable and applies to the original purchaser and original installation. Labor, roof access, removal, reinstallation, and freight are excluded.
