Solar Control Mode
Set the Solar Control mode. Available options are "ECO", "HYBRID", or "SOLAR OFF".
- "ECO"
- In ECO (or economy) mode, the heat pump operation is disabled. Monitoring of the solar differences in temperature are made. The solar diverter valve actuator will activate as needed.
- This is the maximum economical maintenance of the Pool / Spa water temperature by the solar system only.
- A single water setpoint temperature is maintained by the user.
- A solar boost mode is available to temporarily override this mode to bring water quickly to a desired temperature. See "Solar Boost (ECO Mode Only)".
- "HYBRID"
- In Hybrid mode, the heat pump and solar control work together to maintain the pool / spa water temperature within two setpoints. A heat pump setpoint and a solar setpoint (a minimum and maximum temperature).
- The heat pump is typically used to maintain the minimum setpoint, while solar control maintains the maximum setpoint.
- "SOLAR OFF"
- Solar control is disabled. This is the default setting from the factory.
- When in this state, the valve actuator will rotate to the solar off position.
- Unless the manual override feature is enabled. Water is diverted through the heat pump only.
