Re: Loss of pressure when adding basic solar heater
There are many factors that can affect pressure drops: http://www.pipeflow.com/pipe-pressure-drop-calculations
Also, though the pressure may have dropped that doesn't necessarily mean the flow has. Time how long it takes to fill a gallon bucket from the solar output and the normal output (basically the end of the hose that connects to the pool to keep things consistent).
Intex Ultra-Frame 16'x48" AG; ~4,600gallons @ 90%; 1,500 g/h pump; 2 unbelievably excited elementary school kids!
