Steam Relief Valve For Solar Water Heater

Name: Howard  City: San Diego, CA

Question: I built a solar collector to help heat my spa. The collector is placed lower than my spa so the heated water flow up to the spa without the need of a pump. Problem is sometimes steam builds up and creates a vapor lock and the flow stops. Can someone reccomend a steam or vapor relief valve. Please email with help to coiner_100@yahoo.com
