How to Link a Pool Heater to a Filter
- 1). Decide where to place the pool heater. Place the heater on level ground about two to three feet from the pool filter in between the pool filter and the pool. Use a leveling tool to be sure the area is level; if the heater is not level, it may not work efficiently.
- 2). Use a piece of PVC pipe to attach the pool filter return valve to the inlet valve on the pool heater. The pool filter return valve is located on the right side of the pool filter, normally towards the top of the filter; refer to your owner's manual for exact location.
- 3). Use another piece of PVC pipe to attach the outlet valve on the pool heater to the return valve on the side of the pool. Your pool heater is now linked to your pool filter.
