6. The flexible pvc pipe end that connects to the PCS1 inlet and outlet should
be equipped with a PVC UNION that allows for a quick disconnect. This union
should be cemented onto the flex pvc outside of the attic environment. There is
absolutely no need to do any pvc cementing within the attic itself.
CAUTION: PVC cementing should only be done in well ventilated areas!
7. The pool water temperature sensor should be located directly after the filter
for best water temperature sensing. NOTE : This sensor should be insulated after its
installation to prevent weather conditions from unduly influencing the sensed
temperature [of the pool] causing a false start or stop of the solar collection process.
8. The check valve prevents water from entering the PCS1 via its outlet.
9. Any chemical dispenser is located downstream from the PCS1 and must
not distribute chlorine or other chemicals directly into the PCS1.
10. The skimmer suction line may contain other valves to further split the
suction into additional paths. A typical example is the Òvacuum lineÓ which is
usually connected to the skimmer suction line using its own on/off gate valve.
11. Plumbing for a pool vac is left up to the installer. Such plumbing should
not defeat the purpose of flowreversal, if used, by sucking 90% of the water through
the vac. In such a case, pool heating would be heavily dependent upon the pool
vacÕs location. The pool vac could simply take water one foot from the main drain
and the system would return it out of the main drain in flowreversal causing a
ÒvortexÓ of water current and resulting in a false temperature condition, premature
shutdown of the solar collection process or erratic operation of the system.
12. An exploded view of the flowreversal valve , along with a more detailed
description of its operation is contained in the special report ÒHow To Create An
Energy Efficient PoolÓ which is available directly from SolarAttic, Inc.
13. The proportioner valve is used in conjunction with the flowreversalª
valve and is usually set once for the proper skimmer line suction. A proportioner
