From the solar menu settings, you can enable/disable solar or a heat pump as the primary heat source.
Notes about solar heating:
Install the solar sensor at the collectors. If “Heat Pump” is selected and is being
used in place of a solar heating system, install the solar sensor near the SunTouch power center. Connect the
solar sensor wires to the SOLAR screw terminals according to the wiring diagram on page 51. Plug the solar
valve actuator cable into three-pin socket marked
VLV C
on the SunTouch Control System motherboard. If
a solar booster pump is being installed, connect the pump to a power relay and plug a low voltage cable from
relay into the two-pin socket marked SOLAR on the SunTouch Control System motherboard.

If solar is enabled, the solar pump relay will switch on when the water temperature
is lower than the set temperature setting, and the solar sensor temperature is higher
than the water temperature. It might be necessary to adjust the pool and spa set
temperature settings separately. The correct temperature setting will be used, which
also depends on what position the pool and spa suction valve is currently in.
