JFS Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 I seem to be getting air discharging thru my solar system. It does it frequently but not always, quite a lot of bubles. No air in filter, no water leaks. Have checked ALL ortega valves, seals seem intact. Any suggestions. Thanks-Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxgod4u Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Mine too, I assume it is co2 or hydrogen gas from teh SWG. Ours stops when you turn the SWG off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pool Clown Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 JFS, Your solar panels should have a drain down valve on them. The valve opens when the pump shuts off and gravity takes over. The valve allows water to drain from the panels. What maybe happening in your case is that the valve is opening because the flow thru the panels isn't enough to hold it closed, and it pulls in air. Or the valve could be hung open. If its the first, I would check the filter and/or the pump. Could be as simple as a dirty filter. Or maybe a dirty pump basket. If you have the means, go up on the roof and see if you can hear it leaking (Hissing) while the pump is on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
