    _______________________________________________________

    Deluxe Kit Upgrade Highlights:
    The Deluxe Upgrade contains one Plumbing Kit which includes –

    3-way manual control valve; for turning solar on and off,
    and for regulating flow - which controls pool temperature*
    2 check valves; for preventing backflow through the pool's
    filtering system, and the solar system return line
    Large assortment of PVC pipe fittings; for tying into the
    existing pool filtration system, and for plumbing the PVC
    piping to and from the solar panel system**
    Various installation parts and accessories; for eliminating
    purchasing guesswork and time consuming shopping

    *The 3-way control valve is easily used to turn the solar heater
    on or off, plus regulate the flow of water and adjust the temperature.
    Manual adjustments only need to be made occasionally as the
    seasons change.

    **An average installation requires only the purchase of PVC piping,
    which is cost prohibitive to ship, and can be purchased at any local
    hardware supply.

    Note: 2" system plumbing is standard; 1½" kits by request.
