Three durable PVC ball valves allow smooth flow adjustment through the heat pump as well as complete shut-off of individual branches. This makes it easy to switch modes, disconnect the unit for service, or prepare the circuit for winterizing.
No need to buy anything extra – the kit includes essential fittings, pipe, and valves, plus PVC glue and cleaner/primer for strong joints and 4× Teflon tape for threaded parts. Ideal for quick installation on most pool plumbing systems.
A clear diagram helps you place the bypass correctly between the pool, filter/pump and heat pump, and shows valve positions for efficient control of water flow in the system.
The bypass is designed for installation between the filter/pump, the heat pump, and the pool. Thanks to the three ball valves, you can smoothly set how much water flows through the heat pump and how much flows through the bypass branch. At the same time, you can shut the circuit off completely – ideal for maintenance, service, or winter shutdown.
It is also a great solution for pools with salt treatment, chlorinators, solar heating, and other dosing systems. A correctly positioned bypass can help protect the heat pump from contact with more aggressive chemicals and thus extend its service life.
Kit contents:
PVC gluing recommendations: clean and lightly roughen the bonding surfaces, apply cleaner/primer to both the pipe and the fitting, after it flashes off apply glue evenly to both surfaces, immediately join by pushing in and slightly twisting, hold briefly, and allow to cure (ideally 12–24 hours depending on conditions).
