What are the benefits?

While this concept is fairly easy to understand, it’s the benefits that matter. Studies have

shown that heating a pool in this manner results in a significant reduction of heating costs!

In many cases the savings are as large as one-half to two-thirds the costs of heating the pool in the

“Normal Flow” mode.

Here’s why. Heat rises! In addition, water is an excellent retainer of heat. As heat rises

from the main drain, it is transferred from molecule to molecule of water. Instead of having the

warm water at the top of the pool and cold water below, with flowreversal you will now have an

even distribution of heat throughout the pool’s depth. No more warm & thencold experiences

when you enter the pool. If your pool benefits from direct solar radiation onto the pool’s surface --

this free heat will be immediately taken off the surface and reintroduced at the bottom of the pool.

This further reduces your pool heating costs and is another direct benefit of the flowreversal valve.
