5.2 Interface with Pool Cleaner s and Pool Sweeps
CAUTION A solar pump may not be able to operate certain types of automatic pool cleaners,
pool sweeps, or vacuum cleaners.
Some of these devices depend on the pool’s filter pump to supply
the necessary suction or pressure. The
SunCentric P
may not have sufficient power to operate this type
of cleaner.
Types of automatic pool cleaners:
1. Cleaner driven by the filter pump on the SUCTION side
This may not work adequately with a solar pump. If necessary, install a conventional AC pool pump
parallel to the solar pump. Turn it on when the cleaner is needed. If the solar installation is a retrofit,
this can be the original filter pump. See Section 4.9, AC Backup.
2. Cleaner driven by the filter pump on the PRESSURE side
This may not work adequately with a solar pump. There are two solutions:
A. Install a conventional AC pool pump parallel to the solar pump. Turn it on when the cleaner is
needed. If the solar installation is a retrofit, this can be the original filter pump. See Section 4.9,
AC Backup.
B. Add an accessory booster pump, in-line with the cleaner. Turn it on when the cleaner is needed.
3. Cleaner driven by a booster pump, pressure side.
There should be no problem. This device does not depend on the filter (solar) pump.
4. Self-driven cleaner (has its own pump built-in)
There should be no problem. This device does not depend on the filter (solar) pump.
5. In-floor cleaner with “pop-up” jets, driven by the filter pump.
This system requires more pressure than the solar pump can generate. It is NOT compatible.
Manual vacuum cleaners
A manual vacuum cleaner is connected to the suction side of the filter pump.
This may not work adequately with a solar pump. If necessary, install a conventional AC pool pump
parallel to the solar pump. Turn it on when the cleaner is needed. If the solar installation is a retrofit,
this can be the original filter pump. See Section 4.9, AC Backup.
