SYSTEM REGULATION OPTIONS
6 - A valve is necessary to divert
the water to the panels.
a) A 3-PORT MANUAL VALVE can be used; it
must be turned on and off manually when
the temperature fluctuates during the day to
get the most out of the sun, and must be
turned off at night. The valve is installed in
the feed line from the pool, with the water
coming into the inlet opening. The handle
can then be turned to divert the water to the
panels on sunny days or directly to the pool,
when not using the panels. Remember that
the water flows in the direction that the free
part of the handle is pointing, and the
Indicator points to the closed side.
If manual valve is left "ON" for long
periods of cold weather or at night
pool will lose heat
