Warranty Claims

All solar heating panels “Collectors” are sold with a manufacturer’s warranty, a copy of which may be found on the brand’s page. Solar Pool Supply is not responsible for any damage incurred as the result of customer negligence or installation error and such incidents are not covered by warranty. All solar heating panels “Collectors” must be installed with new hardware for warranty coverage to apply. For all warranty claims and replacements, the customer is responsible for covering all shipping costs.

Tips to Protect your Purchase

Verify the condition of your product. Any product that arrives damaged or defective must be reported within 72 hours of delivery. Once this window has elapsed, the recipient acknowledges that the product has arrived free of damage or defect and accepts full responsibility for the condition of the product. Future concerns relating to the performance or function of the product must be addressed through a warranty claim subject to the terms and conditions of the manufacturer’s warranty policy.

Use caution when walking near solar collectors.
These products are not designed to be walked or stepped on; such actions may damage the collector and/or riser tubes. Accidental damage during installation is not covered by warranty.

Use only new hardware.
Reusing old hardware has been shown to damage new solar collectors. For warranty coverage to apply, all solar pool heating panels “Collectors” must be installed with new hardware.

Use caution installing rubber couplings.
Damage may result from couplings being pushed too far onto the header manifold, tearing outside riser tubes. This occurs when clamps are left untightened and additional collectors are added. Each side of the coupling should be tightened to the manifold before attempting to insert the other side. Using new hardware WITH internal rubber stoppers virtually eliminates this problem, however caution should still be exercised to mitigate this problem completely.

I followed the direction but put two plugs in each direction near the headers. Have not seen a leak since.

Jessica F.

I wish there was instructions about putting the knife/splitter together. Did not know I need to unscrew the top…

Alan M.

The tools work great, but I guessed wrong on the size plugs I needed. There didn't seem to be a way to tell what size plugs to order. I ended up getting plugs from my panel manufacturer. The 1/4" plugs were too small for me.

Rita H.

In theory, this is a great kit. In my case, it didn't work, and that's on ME. Before ordering (although if I were you I'd get one and keep it on hand) check to see exactly where the leak is coming from. This product will plug the leaking "tubes". In my case I discovered (too late) that the leaks were in the space between the tubes, and I couldn't fix it. I tried to use the kit thinking that if I plug the tube next to it, the problem would be solved. I must have pushed too hard as I made the leak bigger. Ended up buying a new solar heater. Having said that the old one did last a good 10 years so it was time.

ed c.

All the pieces and clear instructions arrived as expected. Plugs work fine using included knife and insertion tool.

Marc S.

Works as designed. Very happy I didn’t need to buy an entirely new solar panel.

Arnie K.

Fixed by pool heater panels that leaked in minutes. Sharp tool, great instructions and plugs.

Patricia .

We had several leaks in our solar panel We called and explained our problem and a repair package was sent out. The instructions were easy to follow and the repair is holding now for a few weeks Thanks for your help

william b.

Tool worked great. Watched videos and with the included instructions was able to stop the first leak in the solar panels!

Doug B.

Repair was easy with good directions.

roseann V.

They had the perfect adjustable part to repair my leak, shipped immediately and advised me on shipping. It took 5 minutes to repair the leak and the parts included the proper tool. Great to work with!

Aaron E.

Ordered the original tool thru Amazon and it promptly broke at the cutter blade. Was able to insert the plugs into the leaking line and stop the leak. The seller was kind to send a refund via Amazon. I bought a second tool/plugs directly from the seller and haven't used it since the purchase. The plugs really do the job and stop the leak (see videos on you tube). I am satisfied and grateful with with the tool.

Kimberly Z.

A little tricky figuring out the assembly of the cutting tool once I found the cutter blade after I screwed off the top of the screwdriver .... it was not explained in the paperwork I received. We followed the directions on plugging the solar panel, and your product worked like a charm! A lot less than hiring a pool repair company!

EDWARD B.

The solar panels are in the process of failing due to the age of them! Unfortunately the plugs did not work that well.

Russ L.

A bit overpriced, but worked exactly as advertised. I needed the combo kit to find out what size plugs I needed. I actually ended up using the larger plugs also on a couple tubes that needed to be plugged directly at the main riser.

Robert J.

Worked great, easy to install.

Scott V.

Very easy to use

David R.

Super fast service, Thanks

Kevin M.

I would not cut near the header on my first attempt unless I had prior experience. It took me a couple of tries to perfect the cut into the tube. Fortunately I had started near the leak. The 0.25 plugs were too small for my solar panel and would not seal the tube. I shifted to the 0.325 plugs. I had problems getting them into the tube though and on my first two tries I pushed the insertion tool through the plug without getting the plug all the way into the tube. Although I used plenty of saliva, I just could not get it in. Fortunately, I regrip my own golf clubs, so I used some the spray used to lubricate the club shaft before sticking the grip on to lubricate the plug and tube. It worked like a charm and the plugs slipped right in.

Marianne D.

This company offers stellar customer support, superior products, patient technical advice and rapid shipping! Priced competitively.

Charles C.

Cutting tool did not work that great, rubber plugs worked great. Used a knife to cut opening.

Bob H.

Kit and repair worked superbly. Repaired two leaking tube in less than 10 minutes. Has worked without leak for more than two weeks. Happy Customer. Aloha, Bob.

Sam S.

Thanks to the team for this item. It was a great experience and the product does its job.
