My pool equipment is located at a lower location then my pool, there is always a positive pressure on my inlet and outlet side of the equipment. I am installing solar right next to the equipment on a slope. I thought at first I might be able to drain some of the panels when pump is turned off since 80% of the panels are above the equipment, but the more I think about it, the more I don't think I even have a chance of draining anything since there is always a positive pressure on inlet/outlet of equipment from being below the pool. I'm thinking about not getting a drain back valve, and not using CPVC on anything, but the outlet pipe of the panels, which will save a lot of money! Id still put a vacuum breaker on the top and a manual drain at the bottom, but just plan on always running the solar 20%-100% open.
Anyone agree or disagree here?
