Usage
The 2-way WiFi valve can be used in various pool applications:
- As a control valve for solar heating combined with a TLF (Temperature - Level - Flow) WiFi unit. Depending on the temperature of the water and the roof, the valve can switch between "Solar" or "Night" mode.
- As a level control valve in the overflow pool combined with WiFi level detection. When the circulation pump stops, the valve can open, allowing part of the pool to empty into the buffer tank before the hatch closes. When the level sensor detects a “low level,” the valve closes.
- As an automatic spa drain valve.
% Flow and °C controlled bypass
The Hydro type valve is characterised by its ability to open proportionally. A 30% opening stops part of the flow. This allows the creation of a partial bypass.
Combined with the TLF temperature sensor and controller, this system provides a fully automatic solar heating solution for your pool or spa/jacuzzi.
Comparison with 3-way valves
|
Feature |
2-way ball valve |
|
|---|---|---|
| Function | Open/close (full, none or partial flow) | Directs water flow to different circuits |
| Solar heating application | Simple on/off for solar collectors | Flexible switching between bypass and main heating (heat pump) |
| Automation | Simple to automate | Often more options, also easy to automate |
Summary
An electric 2-way ball valve acts as an automatic switch in the plumbing system of a solar-heated pool. It ensures pool water flows through the solar collectors only when beneficial (when there's enough sun) and stops flow when conditions are adverse. This happens automatically based on temperature measurements, providing comfort, energy savings, and optimal pool temperature.
