Pentair MasterTemp & Sta-Rite Max-E-Therm Automatic By-Pass Valve Kit (462048)

The Pentair Automatic By-Pass Valve Kit (462048) is designed to improve efficiency and performance for Pentair MasterTemp and Sta-Rite Max-E-Therm gas pool heaters. This genuine Pentair accessory automatically diverts water flow away from the heater when heating is not required, reducing unnecessary heat exchanger use and lowering overall energy consumption.

By limiting water flow through the heater during non-heating cycles, the automatic by-pass valve helps extend heater life while improving circulation efficiency throughout the pool system. When heating demand resumes, the valve automatically redirects water back through the heater to maintain consistent, reliable temperature control—no manual adjustment required.

Ideal for pool owners looking to maximize energy savings and protect their investment, this by-pass valve kit can help reduce operating costs while supporting optimal heater performance throughout the swimming season.
