Solar Pool Heater Isolation Valves
Solar pool heating control system comes with 2 by 2 1 2 inch 3 way valve actuator and 2 pc sensors automatically maximizes solar heat collection by actuating a 24v valve when there is solar heat available includes led indicators that shows status of system operations.
Solar pool heater isolation valves. Solar pool heating control and automation manual versus automatic control the control valve can be either a manual one or an automatic one. With a manual control valve if you want the pool water to be heated up and the sun is out then you ll have to turn the handle on the valve yourself to get the water to flow to the solar collectors. While every solar pool heating system includes a manual diverter valve for managing water flow automatic valves are an upgrade. Isolation valves in solar pool heating systems may be standard ball valves or high quality two way valves from pentair jandy hayward praher or others.
Automatic diverter valves use sensors to detect temperature and automatically direct water to or away from your solar panels can slightly cool water at night. Pool suction valves these valves control pipes that suck water out of your pool. Solar valve manifold these valves divert water to solar panels or stop water from entering solar panels. Refer to required winterization page 2 and isolating solar collector during pool maintenance page 3.
Solar pool heat valves closed isolated in this position water is bypassing the solar turning solar heating off and the isolation valves are closed ensuring that no water can pass to or from the panels. Isolation valves these valves isolate the solar collectors and must be closed during winter filter cleaning backwashing and vacuuming. When the pool water is chilling or cool this device diverts it towards the solar collectors which automatically warms the water according to the temperature when the pool water is hot so the flow controlling valve stops furthermore hot water entering the pool. It is critical that your 3 way bypass valve be in the proper position before isolating your system.
