Waterco Vacuum Relief Valve for Solar Pool Heating Systems
Essential Vacuum Protection for Solar Pool Heating
The Waterco Vacuum Relief Valve—also known as the Zane Solar Vacuum Relief Valve—is a critical component for any solar pool heating system. Designed to automatically protect your solar panels and plumbing from the damaging effects of vacuum pressure, this valve ensures your system operates safely and efficiently, year after year.
Ideal for both new installations and retrofits, the Waterco Vacuum Relief Valve is compatible with a wide range of solar pool heating setups, including flexible strip and rigid panel systems. Its robust, spring-loaded design delivers reliable performance in all weather conditions, making it a must-have for any solar pool owner.
🔍 Key Features & Benefits
- Vacuum Protection: Prevents collapse or damage to solar panels and plumbing when water drains from the system.
- Spring-Loaded Design: Ensures a strong, leak-free seal while automatically allowing air into the system when needed.
- Universal Fit: Compatible with both flexible strip and rigid panel solar heating systems.
- Durable Construction: Built to withstand outdoor conditions and constant pressure changes, extending the life of your system.
- Easy Installation: Screw-in style valve that’s fully serviceable and simple to maintain.
🌬️ Why a Vacuum Relief Valve Is Critical
- Prevents Vacuum Crush: When water drains out, a vacuum can form inside the panels and pipes. Without a vacuum relief valve, this can collapse tubing or crack PVC.
- Automatic Air Intake: The valve opens when internal pressure drops, allowing air to enter and equalize the system.
- Protects System Longevity: Reduces stress on collectors, manifolds, and plumbing—especially in long or elevated installations.
