Heater Buttons
The HEATER buttons enable the heater for the pool or spa. The solar heater button controls solar heating. When the
green LED above a HEATER button is il lu mi nat ed, that heater is enabled (i.e., ready to heat, but not heating). When
the red LED above a HEATER button is illuminated, that heater is on (i.e., firing).
Solar Heat requires an optional solar sensor to operate. For solar heating to take place, the solar heater button must be
pressed, the filter pump must be on, the solar temperature must be at least 5ºF above the water temperature, and the
water temperature must be below the AquaLink
®
RS thermostat setting.
If a Solar Sensor is not installed, the solar heater button may be used to control an auxiliary water feature. Check with
your installer.
