Heatseeker Solar Pool Heating 

Installation & User Manual

PUMP FAULTS

Ensure the controller has working sensors; otherwise the pump will not operate.

FAULT

REASONS/SOLUTIONS

PUMP WILL NOT START

The pump will only ever run for the purpose of automatic heating if the pool 

is below the temperature limit and solar conditions can provide heating. The 

pump may also run for a flush in standby mode or for manual mode operation. 

If the controller reports that the pump is off, then press select to enable manual 

mode. The relay inside should click and the pump should operate. If the pump 

does not operate, then plug the pump into a power point and test operation. If 

the pump is okay, then the controller requires repair.

PUMP WILL NOT STOP

Turn off power to the controller and ensure the pump stops. If the pump continues 

to operate, then unplug it from the power point and connect it to the 240V socket 

marked PUMP at the bottom of the controller.
Apply power to the controller and if the pump starts instantaneously before 

temperatures are displayed, then there may be a fault with the controller. Since the 

controller shouldn’t run when there is a sensor fault, disconnect the roof sensor and 

wait for approximately 30 seconds. If the pump continues to run, then the controller 

requires repair.

POOL NOT HEATING

If the controller has stopped pumping and is displaying a higher temperature than 

expected, it may be caused by a pump which is failing to prime. Check the pump 

and if necessary prime the pump as per the pump manufacturers’ instructions then 

reset the controller by turning it off/on.

RTC-FAIL

This can occur if the unit has been turned off for a prolonged period of time. Leave 

the unit on for 30 seconds and this will allow charging of the supercapacitor. Next, 

turn it off for 30 seconds before turning it back on.
