Heater Extend
If “Enabled”, the filter extend logic keeps the filter pump running beyond the normal turn-off
time if heat is still available. When heat is no longer available, both the valve/pump and filter
pump will turn off simultaneously. Heater extend will NOT cause the filter pump to turn on,
it will only delay the turn off time when the heater is operating.

If the solar control logic is “Enabled”, several additional steps must be taken to ensure
proper operation of the solar system. If the solar is operated by a valve, then the Valve3
output must be setup for solar logic (page 22). If the solar is operated by a pump, then either
the AUX1 or AUX2 relay must be set up for solar logic (page 21).
Also, the “solar” temperature sensor must be installed. This sensor is typically mounted
near the collector array and is used to sense whether sufficient solar heat is available.
If solar is “Enabled”, the valve or solar pump relay will turn on when the water temperature is
less than the desired temperature setting AND the solar sensor is hotter than the water. The
desired temperature is in the “Settings Menu”. If applicable, the homeowner will be prompted
to enter separate pool and spa desired temperature settings. Depending on the position of
the pool/spa suction valve, the proper temperature setting will be used.
Solar Extend
If “Enabled”, the filter extend logic keeps the filter pump running beyond the normal turn-off
time if solar heat is still available. When solar heat is no longer available, both the solar
valve/pump and filter pump will turn off simultaneously. Solar extend will NOT cause the
filter pump to turn on, it will only delay the turn off time when solar is operating.
Solar Priority
If both “Solar Control” and “Heater Control” are enabled, the Solar Priority feature will keep
the conventional heater off whenever solar heat is available. This provides the most cost
effective way of heating the pool. When solar heat is not available, the conventional heater
will operate normally.
