No it doesnt but the panels are below the pool, So it wont drain.

Hello everyone, I'm perplexed I have a leak on one of my panels that i was going to repair. The problem it's still spraying even with actuator to the closed position and the shutoff valve going into the panels also closed. I assume its being pressured through the return side. I'm wondering if...

Hello, I have huge problem I was repairing a broken pipe that was above another pipe. I cut the one below and the water wont stopping coming out. It has to be a pipe from one of the drains either the main or floor drain. My pump is off is there anyway to stop the water?

Thank you everyone! This was great information to bring to them.

Wow!! You're 100% right.. This 1st panel is about pool temp. and each panel afterwards gets hotter. That being the case, I'm going to redesign it now instead of waiting until the winter. Hopefully, that will extend the swim season. Just wondering if I should use 2" pvc for the long return run...

Thank You for the great explanation @denwood. I plan to incorporate all your suggestions at the end of the swim year.

Perfect just ordered one. Thank you

Here is a full picture. The flow comes into the panels in the lower right in the picture. This is the connection that keeps bursting. The Vacuum relief is on the top left in the picture.. I'm not sure the pressure it's seeing I'm running the pump around 2200rpm.
