The Bypass Kit for Solar Pro Curve and Solar PRO Contour Pool Heaters is a must-have component for any solar pool heating system to work properly. Without a bypass, your solar panels cannot regulate water flow based on weather conditions—which can significantly reduce heating performance.

When temperatures drop, skies are overcast, or during nighttime operation, the bypass must be turned OFF to prevent cooler water from circulating through the solar panels. If water continues flowing through the panels during these conditions, the system can actually pull heat out of your pool instead of warming it, making the solar heater ineffective. This bypass kit gives you full control, ensuring your solar panels only operate when conditions are right.

By allowing you to divert water away from the solar heater when heat gain is low, this kit maximizes efficiency, protects your equipment, and ensures your solar heater does its job—heating your pool, not cooling it.

Designed specifically for Solar Pro Curve and Solar PRO Contour heaters, this complete kit includes flow restrictors and adapters to fine-tune circulation and reduce strain on your pump and heater system.

• An existing pool pump and filter are required (not included)

• Compatible with SLIP INTEX products only

• Additional plumbing or hosing may be required based on your pool setup
