SOLAR POOL HEATER CONTROLS
To get the most out of your Solar Pool Heater System a Solar Pool Control Package needs to be included as an integral component of any solar pool system on an inground pool, or large above ground pool.
Why Should I Install a Solar Pool Controller:
They maximize performance!
A solar controller helps your system run only when it can actually add heat to your pool. By monitoring solar conditions and pool temperature, it circulates water through the collectors when heat is available—and shuts the system off when it isn’t—so you capture the most heating and cost-savings benefit.
Just set it and forget it!
Solar controllers add thermostatic control, letting you set a target temperature and maintain it automatically. They also provide high-limit protection to prevent overheating—especially helpful for spas. For example, the GL-235 is designed to keep pool/spa water from exceeding 102°F.
In hot climates, some controllers can run the system at night to cool the pool when summer sun warms it too much during the day.
Why a controller is essential
Solar-heated pools need accurate control for two main reasons:
-
Maximize heat gain by circulating water only when collectors can absorb solar heat (and stopping circulation when heat could be lost).
-
Automatically maintain your desired temperature without constant adjustment.
Simple, reliable upgrade
Our controller packages are designed for straightforward installation, dependable operation, and easy serviceability. And because solar can dramatically reduce—or even eliminate—monthly gas or electric heating costs, adding automatic control can make the savings even stronger.
