Bypass Kit for heat pump - universal

Heat Pump Bypass Kit – Universal

Have you purchased a pool heat pump, or are you planning to install one soon? Then this universal bypass kit is exactly the component that makes the difference between a heat pump that just does the bare minimum and one that truly performs at its best. I actually always recommend a bypass, because it allows you to control both the water flow and the pressure through your heat pump.

The kit is designed for universal use and is therefore highly versatile; it is particularly useful for above-ground pools, where you often use a standard filter pump that does not automatically provide the correct flow rate.

Why a Bypass Is So Important

A heat pump requires a specific water pressure and flow rate to efficiently transfer heat to your pool water. If too much water flows through it, the pump won’t have enough time to heat that water. If too little water flows through, the heat pump cannot function properly. With this bypass, you can precisely control how much water goes through the heat pump and how much flows directly back to the pool. This allows you to get the most out of your unit while protecting it from unnecessary strain.

Who Should Choose This Kit

This bypass kit is ideal, especially if you have an above-ground pool or a smaller pool with a simple filter pump. Your filter pump often circulates more water than the heat pump can handle, and the bypass makes it easy to correct that. But even if you just want to ensure that your heat pump continues to run smoothly and efficiently for years to come, this is a small investment that will pay for itself.

Installation and use

Install the bypass between your filter system and the heat pump. By turning the control valve, you can adjust the water flow until your heat pump operates within its ideal range. Once you’ve set up your pool properly, you’ll hardly have to worry about it anymore. If you’re unsure about the correct settings, we at Pool.shop would be happy to help you with advice.

Good to know

Adhesive or sealant is typically used during installation. Please note that these substances may be highly flammable and emit fumes that can cause eye irritation and, if inhaled, drowsiness or dizziness. Therefore, work in a well-ventilated area and carefully follow the instructions on the packaging. This will ensure you install your bypass safely and without any worries.
