OPERATING YOUR 3-WAY BYPASS VALVE
WARNING NOTE: If you run your pump at night, turn your 3-Way Bypass Valve to position 1.
• Your 3-Way Bypass Valve is to help you regulate your warm water flow and takes into account the horse
power of your filter pump. The top of the 3-Way Bypass Valve has numbers to denote positions (1, 2, 3,
4, 5) to turn the valve. To turn your 3-Way Bypass Valve, you must PRESS DOWN TO TURN, as noted on
the handle itself.
• The orientation of your 3-Way Bypass Valve is very important. Please make sure that you have
assembled the 3-Way Bypass Valve in the position / direction shown.
• Make sure that your filter pump system is turned off BEFORE
you adjust any setting on your 3-Way Bypass Valve.
ADjUST THE VALVE POSITION TO YOUR DESIRED SETTING
• Position 4 = WARNING: Maintenance mode only.
Never use this position unless your pump is off.
This position blocks ALL water flow from your
filter pump into your pool.
• Position 2 = Allows full flow rate of water through the
heater and through the 3-Way Bypass Valve into the
pool. This setting will not give you optimal heated
water temperature.
