A few months ago, we had a solar heating system installed for our pool. Unfortunately, I only recently noticed that the solar heater was installed *before* the filter (i.e. between the pump and filter), instead of *after* the filter. To the best of my knowledge, this is a big no-no, since all the sand and insects and leaf debris are being pumped directly into the heating system, potentially clogging the tiny pipes.
I would appreciate some advice on the following:
* Is it possible (for a professional company that specializes in solar heaters) to check all the tiny pipes in a solar heating system and unclog them, if necessary? Or should the entire system rather be replaced?
* This problem is only the latest in a long list of frustrations with the company that did the installation, so I don't trust that company at all. In case we do get that company to check the system and they claim that they have unclogged everything, would it be possible for me (or a pool maintenance guy) to double-check that everything is in fact OK?
