Appendix 10: Plumbing Configurations
Not every system will be like the one outlined in the diagrams below. Some will have additional equipment, a
different type of filter or the pipes may be reversed. Either way, the diagram should help you to gain an
understanding of the flow of water from the pool, through the system and back to the pool. These diagrams
outline most of the components necessary to appropriately plumb the system. Please study and familiarise
yourself with the diagram and required components.
Independent / Separate System
The pool water is pumped directly from the pool to the solar collector/absorber and then back.
This configuration requires the pool builder to plan for solar or for solar provisions to have been
pre-installed. It is simple to install and does not interrupt the filtration system. This type of
plumbing allows the Solar System to operate independent of the filtration system and generally
uses less power than integrated systems.
Requires:
1 x AS5 Digital Solar Controller or similar
1 x Check Valve (also known as a Non-Return or One-Way Valve)
1 x Solar Pump (that can deliver 3-4 litres per minute per m² of collector)
