Kokido Bypass Kit for Above Ground Swimming Pools Solar Water Heaters | K874WBX

Before you buy: Kokido bypass kit (K874WBX)

This is a plumbing accessory for an above-ground solar heater, not the heater itself. Buying it alone heats nothing; you still need the solar heater unit.

When you need it

• The listing states it is required to connect solar heaters, or to run a Solar Pro heater with a pump of 1 HP or greater. If your pump meets or exceeds that, plan for this kit rather than piping the heater directly.
• It lets you bypass the heater when it is not in use, so water can circulate without running through the solar panel — useful in winter or on cloudy days.

Fit tip

Confirm your pump’s horsepower and hose/pipe diameter before ordering. The listing does not specify fittings for every pump size, so check that it suits your existing above-ground plumbing configuration.
