After making your connections to the collectors, run
your pipe back to the area of the pool pump and filter.
There are two ways to divert your pool water to your
solar system. Choose the one that you want and
remember that you can add automatic controls later
if you wish.
MANUAL DIVERTER SYSTEM
You can control when water is circulated through the
solar system with the manual diverter valve provided.
Turn the valve handle to divert water through the
collectors, or allow water to return straight back to
the pool, bypassing the collectors.
AUTOMATIC CONTROL SYSTEM
For your convenience, an auto control system can be
added onto the system. Sensors determine when water
should be diverted to the collectors, and the motorized
valve is used to divert the water. Water temperature
can be automatically set.
Manual Diverter System
Automatic Control System
The pipe coming from your filter should be insert-
ed into the bottom opening opposite the handle
on the diverter valve. Water returning from the
collectors reenters through a tee fitting.
The check valve provided prevents water from
draining back from the collectors through the filter
when the pump shuts off. IMPORTANT: Be sure
the arrow is pointing away from the filter when
installed.
