The vent consists of a piece of vertical pipe open at the top. The height of the vent
depends on back pressure of the return line going back to the pool. To minimize the
length of the vent, there are a few things you can do:
1.
Plumb the return line to the pool with a larger pipe, such as 1 ½”. Increasing the
size of the return line will reduce the back pressure. The best location for the return
line is at the deepest end of the pool.
2. Connect the outlet of the collector to the pool with a separate return line, as shown
in the diagram, as opposed to connecting it with the return line from the backup
heater.
3. Avoid using eyeball fittings if possible.
4. Do not connect the solar outlet to the input of a heat pump or gas pool heater.
If you are unsure what length of vent is needed, install a 4 foot high vent. More than 4 feet
is unnecessary due to the limitations on operating pressure inside the collector.
The photo below shows the WSE47 connection kit attached to the manifold. The vent rises
vertically from the connection kit and the return line to the pool is
a ¾” hose attached to
the hose adapter on the connection kit. Note that if your system includes a differential
temperature controller and solar powered pump, the vent connection kit may be different.
See the Solar Pump section for details.
