If the system is a double row or a single row split feed array and there is adequate flow,
install a Ball Valve on the return side of the set of panels that are the coolest, throttle back
the flow through these panels and force more water through the warmer panels.
Do not
install a system that exceeds the Maximum number of panels allowed in a system!
WATER COMING FROM THE SYSTEM IS NOT AS WARM AS IT SHOULD BE
Diagnosis #1: The water is flowing too fast through the panels
Install Answer:
Test the water flow rate. Water flow through a single panel should be less than 1000 lit/h
(4.4 gpm). Adjust the Three-Way Valve to by-pass some of the water.
Diagnosis #2: Seasonal normal operation
Answer
:
In the cooler months of the year, or on cool or partly cloudy days, the temperature rise
through the panels may only be 3° C (5°F). Use the back of your hand to feel the water
temperature difference at the pool return inlet.
