Is this normal for solar heating in pool
Please can anyone help me with the following, we had our solar put in about 18mths ago, all going fine until i have just been outside and noticed that one of the pipes that goes up the wall has a steady drip coming out of the top of it, not sure if the pipe is the inlet or outlet, but it is the one with a black nozzle at the top if that helps, it seems like the drip is coming from the top of the nozzle
thankyou for any help on this one

Re: Is this normal for solar heating in pool
Hi
i have just had a quick look on google about this valve and i can only find something that says its for the pool water to drain from, i just thought one pipe took in the water heated it and the other pipe put it back in the pool, i can not understand why its used to drain the water, i know this is only a slight drip but if its always doing this( not sure if it is as i only noticed today) that is alot of water wasted.

sorry haven't got anything valuable to contribute, per usual, but it's great to know pools can now have solar.
