Pool Solar Panel Vacuum Relief Valve

The vacuum relief valve allows air to enter the solar pool heating system when the pool pump is turned off and facilitate water drainage from the panels.

Pool solar panel vacuum relief valve. This vacuum relief valve vacuum breaker is designed specifically for solar pool heater applications. By allowing air to enter the pool solar panels it aids in gravity drainage of solar. Header manifolds and 1 9 1 7 8 i d. A vacuum relief valve installed at the highest point in this solar pool heating system relieves negative air pressure from water draining from the panels.

There is should be a tiny hole in this valve that allows water to drain back to the pool when the pump shuts off. A valve must be installed in every solar pool heating system to allow air into the system when pool water drains out of the panels. This is a ball spring 5 type check valve that is typically installed at the highest point in a solar pool heating system. This vrv is typically installed using a rubber coupler hose and hose clamps.

The pump is not forcing water to the roof fast enough and gravity is pulling it down faster. This relieves the vacuum that would be created by falling water inside the solar panels and plumbing on the roof. It is possible to replace or relocate the vacuum relief valve or to restrict the return line back to the pool. Fits heliocol sunstar eco spark solar pool heating panels.
