CF GROUP Three-valve bypass CF

The CF GROUP three-valve bypass is an installation component for connecting solar heating or a heat pump to your swimming pool. It lets you precisely regulate the water flow, thereby increasing heating efficiency and reducing energy consumption. The system also protects the filter pump from overload and extends its service life. The bypass offers a connection for 32/38mm hoses and allows the heating to be disconnected for maintenance or winterising without needing to switch off the filtration system.

Precise regulation for maximum efficiency

Setting the correct water flow is key to the effective operation of your pool heating. Solar panels require a slower flow rate to give the water enough time to heat up, while heat pumps need a specific minimum flow for efficient heat transfer. Using the three ball valves, you can easily set the ideal amount of water flowing through the heating system. This not only increases its efficiency but also significantly reduces energy consumption.

Pump protection and easy maintenance

Pool heating increases the hydraulic resistance in the pipework, which can lead to the filter pump becoming overloaded. The bypass system reduces this resistance, helping to extend the pump's service life and preventing its motor from overheating. If you need to carry out maintenance, service the heating, or winterise it, simply close the valves leading to it and open the central bypass valve. The filtration can then continue to run without any interruption.

Practical use in daily operation

The bypass also offers advantages for the day-to-day running of your pool. During cold nights or overcast weather, a solar panel can actually cool the water down. You can prevent this by simply shutting off the flow through the panel. You'll appreciate another benefit when cleaning the pool. The full power of the pump is important for the pool vacuum to work effectively. By temporarily disconnecting the heating via the bypass, you get the maximum suction power from your vacuum without unnecessary pressure losses in the system.
