SolarTouch Automatic Controller Kit

SolarTouch Automatic Controller Kit

The question is ofter asked..."Do I need an auto controller?"

We are often asked this question when speaking with people about the Enersol Solar Pool Heaters. Our answer is YES!!! Using a manual valve would seem simple; you turn the 3-way valve on to supply the water to the solar panels when the sun is out and turn the valve off when solar heat is not available. Most of the time you are leaving for work before the Sun hits the panels and coming home long after the Sun has left the panels. Then there are the weekends when you are away, do you leave them on or off? How about partially cloudy days etc.

With the Auto Controller all the guess work is removed! The Auto Controller will divert the water to the solar panels when there is enough Solar energy to capture and turn it off when there are no more solar gains to be had. You can also set the controller to cool the pool if it gets warmer than the maximum set temperature.

Another added benefit is that the solar panels are still able to draw heat from the roof for 3–4 hours after the sun has left the panels. You can rest assured that the Auto Controller is doing the best possible job to maximize the solar energy to heat your swimming pool.
