It's in the Details
This flow meter is essential.
Know the flow, both to the solar panels and your pool flow rate.
- Your variable speed pump is tuned to the optimal solar heating flow rate.
- Your variable speed pump is also adjusted for the proper flow rate to achieve a minimum of ONE turn-over per day.
This will save you big $$$$ in the long term.
Automatic Solar Heating Controller
A controller is needed to operate the 3-way diverter when the panel temperature is greater than 6 degrees warmer than the pool. The system automatically turns OFF when the panels are only 2 degrees warmer than the water.
You have control of the water temperature.
Pentair Solar 3-way valve
A solar diverter valve has a small valve inside that when the main valve is in the CLOSED position, it allows water to drain down from the solar panels when the filter pump is OFF.
Once the pool filter pump starts up again, it doesn't allow water back to the panels until the main valve opens.
Don't use the traditional 3-way valve for operating your solar system.
