System with diverter near pump
Diagram C-2
1. Assemble a diverter kit by installing the integrated by-pass valve (
SK-INT-V
) as shown in Diagram C-2 and Fig C2-1.
(Tees and adapters not supplied)
2. Turn off your pool pump. Block the inlet and outlet of your pool so that the water won't empty when you are
connecting your panel(s).
3. Remove the hose from the pool inlet (hose between the filter and the pool) Connect the hose to one side of the
diverter kit. Place metal collar

" from edge and tighten collar with screwdriver. See Diagram C-2.
4. Take a hose (not supplied) long enough to reach the panel and connect one end to the diverter kit (same side of the
two-way valve as in step 3) Place metal collar and tighten. Connect other end of the hose to the panel inlet. Place
metal collar and tighten. See Diagram C-2.
5. Take another hose (not supplied) and connect it to the panel outlet. Place metal collar and tighten. Connect other
end of the hose to the diverter kit. Place metal collar and tighten. See Diagram C-2.
6. Take the last hose (not supplied) and connect it to the last open end of the diverter kit. Place metal collar and tighten.
Connect the other end of the hose to your pool inlet. Place metal collar and tighten. See diagram C-2.
7. Make sure the valve on the diverter is on the open position.

Solar heating is ON (heating)
8. Make sure that your hoses are all connected the correct way and that all the collars have been tightened.
Unblock the inlet and outlet of your pool.
9. Turn on your pool pump. Check for any leaks. If any of the threaded fittings leak, remove the fitting and apply more
Teflon. If any of the hoses leak at the connection, loosen the collar and push the hose over the fitting and re-tighten
the metal collar. You will see air bubbles coming from the pool inlet. This is normal, the air in the hoses is being
purged.
10. Turn your solar heating system on by turning the two-way valve in the diverter to the closed position. See Fig C2-2.
Once again you will see air bubbles coming from your pool. The system is now purging the air that is in the
solar panel(s).
