What are the valves on a solar pool heater?
When you have a solar pool heater, valves can be broken down into three groups. 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.
How does solar pool heater stop water from going up return line?
This stops water from going up the return line when the solar diverter valve is in the off position and your solar pool heater is not operating. Note that this valve manifold may be flipped left to right with the solar diverter valve on the right side depending on the location of the solar panels relative to the pool equipment.
How are pool suction valves related to solar panels?
1 Pool Suction Valves – these valves control pipes that suck water out of your pool. 2 Solar Valve Manifold – these valves divert water to solar panels, or stop water from entering solar panels. 3 Pool Return Valves – these valves control through which jets and features water is returned to the pool.
How does the return check valve on a solar pool work?
The return check valve allows water to only come down from the roof in this plumbing line. This stops water from going up the return line when the solar diverter valve is in the off position and your solar pool heater is not operating.
How does a bypass valve work in a solar pool?
Besides being used to bypass the collectors, the bypass valve illustrated in the above diagrams can also be used for two other purposes: to control the pressure/flow rate of the water in the pipes and collectors in the solar part of the system; to control the water temperature in a manual system.

Can a manual control valve be used to heat a pool?
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.
