That is in celcius. Bear in mind however that is is averaging 30 degrees at the moment during the day (86f).

I would say the air was being pushed out. In reality, the chlorinator still needs some sort of flow anyway right. I guess the alternative would be to run x hrs solar only, then x hrs chlorinator, but isnt it more efficient to have both running in parallel? is there an easy way I can measure...

When I do this, its air for the first few seconds until it becomes a water leak if I keep opening further (i guess this is normal). I did notice however, that quite a few bubbles started coming from the pool. I've left this running like this for a few minutes until all bubbles have cleared, and...

The pool is around 1.5m deep, the height distance between the water level of the pool and the pressure gauge is around 1.7-1.8m I would estimate. Interesting, just to ensure I understood correctly - pump running, 75% to solar, and i disconnect the pipe between the panels and the return down...

I don't have a tap on the roof, or any other gauge unfortunately. The one I am currently using is the one on the sand filter. Is it easy to install an inline pressure gauge or flow meter? Maybe I should add one of these on the roof before the solar panels? The equipment is adjacent to the pool...

by tap, do you mean just a water supply? if so yes - I'm not sure how I would test this though? I've just double checked this again now, and the total elevation is correct yes. in reality, its from after the valve going to the panels, so if anything its a further 2 feet or so. Yep, attaching...

Out of curiosity, if I had to consider replacing the combination of 8 x 90's/45's (each way) around the beam with perhaps a flexible hose to have a more 'rounded' route to the roof rather than the angles, could this make a significant difference in order to avoid the additional pump?

The fitting with a wire on the solar return is a temperature sensor - correct. The pipe fittings to/from the solar are 42/43mm in diameter, and I believe 40mm actually inside the pipe. My exact solar panels are these -...

Attached :-)

I started with a backwash prior to posting this thread really, as it was my first thought so it has only been 3 days. There was no air coming out from the solar return... there was yesterday but it all cleared when i ran it as described previously to put pressure on the solar return. Could it...

With all suction open 100%, and only solar open on the other end the pressure is at 21psi. My filter is model 01017001 at the below link - https://coralfiltros.com/producto/filtro-rpg/ Can you clarify what you mean by the panels are back in the loop please?

Right, so what I've done yesterday is that I disconnected solar panels at a time to increase the pressure and remove any potential airlocks. I also ran the pump at full pressure for a bit to try and remove any additional air. I would say based on this that I shouldn't have any additional air to...
