Plumbing Heaters, Solar Systems, Heat Pumps
HEATERS
When installing a heater on the pool, a
1" bY-PASS TO PARTIALLY DIRECT
WATER AROUND ThE hEATER IS
NECESSARY. This allows part of the
water through the heater for heating
but limits the head loss created when
all the water is directed through the
heater. ThE IN-FLOOR SYSTEM
WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY
WIThOUT ThIS bY-PASS.
SOLAR SYSTEMS
Paramount recommends
solar systems be operated
independently with a booster
pump, separate suction, and
returns, or as shown below with
a secondary booster pump, and
the in-floor system valve installed
after the solar and heater pack.
HEAT PUMP
heat pumps must have a
minimum by-pass of 1 ½" with
a gate valve for adjustment. The
gate valve must be set with a
temperature probe to factory
specs for heat rise.
