The
Aqua Solar is housed in a locking weatherproof enclosure and its
advanced operating features offer selectable high limit, programmable
recirculation freeze protection and nocturnal cooling, optional pool sweep
interlock and booster pump control.
Aqua
Solar Pool/Spa Heating Control Feature
Highlights:
• Maximizes
solar system performance by dramatically
• increasing system efficiency!!!
• Programmable Solar Differential Control
•
Digital Temperature Displays - of pool water and solar
system
• Selectable Solar Override – to
maximize solar heat gain
• Sensor Status
Indicator LEDs – notify user of complete system status
•
Booster Pump Control – via plug in 3H relay*
• Pool Sweep Interlock Feature – via plug in 3 HP
relay*
• 120 VAC or 240 VAC Selectable
Input – and 24 VAC output standard
• Filter
Pump Control
*Order
separately
In addition to the standard features of the Aqua Solar
Series, the TC model includes an integral time clock for 24 hour control of
the pool's filtration pump with a selectable solar override
feature.
The Aqua Solar Time Clock model is the
Aqua Solar with a 3HP double pole relay for time based control of the
swimming pool’s main filter pump. The time clock is programmable in 15 minute
increments and can have multiple ON/OFF times. A small switch located on the
timer face allows for manual turn ON, automatic operation via the selected
ON/OFF times and manual turn OFF.
• Single Control operates
solar system and filter pump automatically
•
Programmable in 15 minute increments
•
Selectable multiple ON/OFF times
• One 3
HP relay [AQ-RELAY] Standard
• Selectable solar
override
• Selectable freeze
recirculation
• Selectable nocturnal
cooling
• Expandable to one additional relay
output

The
Hayward Aqua Solar Series – Operational
Details:
•
Automatic Heating
If the collectors are warmer than
the pool water by 4ºF or more, and the pool is below the selected desired
temperature, the valve will rotate allowing heat collection.
The heat
collection stops when the solar sensor temperature falls within 1.5º of the
pool temperature or the pool temperature exceeds the selected desired
temperature.
• Automatic
Cooling [Field selectable option]
If the collectors are cooler than
the pool water by 8ºF or more, and the pool water is above the desired
temperature, the valves rotate allowing cooling via the solar collectors.
The heat dissipation continues until the collectors rise to within 3ºF
of the pool temperature or the pool temperature is lowered below the desired
temperature.
• Single Setting
for Desired Temperature
The Aqua Solar is set by a single dial
adjustment with the desired pool temperature clearly indicated. The dial is
calibrated with the temperatures from 70ºF to a high 104ºF for quick and easy,
user-friendly operation.
The temperature set indicates the desired
pool temperature. The Aqua Solar will automatically determine if the water
should be heated or cooled, thus maximizing the solar system
capabilities.
• Terminal Strip
Connections for input power and sensor inputs.
Controls also have
industry standard 3 pin connectors for both forward and reverse valve actuator
operation.
• LED
Indicators
Show the status of the system operation; seven highly
visible LEDs show:
1. Power to
control
2. Power output directing valve and/or pump to
collect heat [heating]
3. Power output directing valve
and/or pump to dissipate heat [cooling]
4. Sweep interlock
indicating the pool cleaner pump is in the lock-out
4.
time allowing for flow to establish previous to turning
on
5. Sensor fault indicator shows pool sensor not
operating properly
6. Sensor fault indicates open or short
circuit
7. Sensor fault for auxiliary sensor
• Valve
Output
valve output on the Aqua Solar is the industry standard 24
VAC. Output is fuse protected
• Recirculation
Freeze Protection [Field selectable option]
Turns the Aqua Solar
output ON, directing warmer pool water through the collectors when near
freezing temperatures are noted at the auxiliary sensor.
The Aqua
Solar allows recirculation when the aux. sensor falls below 34ºF and wills
stop recirculation when the temperature rises to greater than 36ºF. Two 10K
Ohm sensors are required for operation.
One or more freeze snap
switch sensors are also recommended if freeze recirculation protection is
utilized. Important: See instructions before using freeze
recirculation.
• System Operation
and Test Switch
Allows the user to manually override the automatic
function of the Aqua Solar to verify the
operation.
