Freeze Protection in Solar Only mode
The SunTouch
®
Control System freeze protection function is active once the optional air sensor is
installed and enabled (see page 8). Freeze protection is enabled whenever the outside temperature
is 36º F or lower. When freezing conditions are detected by the air sensor the filter pump will be
switched on and water will circulate continuously through the system. It’s important that the air
sensor be permanently placed in the shade and away from windy locations. In the event of a power
failure, the system will be unprotected. Recirculating water to protect your system from freezing is not
recommended in climates where freezing temperatures occur frequently and last for extended periods.

automated. The menu features let you create customized schedules for your pool and spa equipment,
heat temperatures and chlorination settings to switch on and off at a time and day. For maintenance and
service purposes, the control panel allows manual control of all pool and spa operations.
