The literature that came with our Pentair Heat Pump says,"UltraTemp provides an AutoSet feature as standard. It monitors water temperature and turns the pump on and off as needed, overriding the time clock to maintain desired temperature. It's the ultimate in convenient, hands free comfort control."
The manual says, "Auto Set on/off Screen - this scree is only shown if the auto set mode is enabled during the factory setup. Allows the operator to turn the autoSet ode On and Off. AutoSet mode periodically energizes a filter pump contactor to start a remote filter pump which allows the heat pump to heat or cool the water as necessary."
Our Heat Pump does show this option but I don't understand how the heat pump can control the water pump and make it turn on when the mechanical timer has it shut off. Is it possible?
Or is this something that would only work with some special set up beyond the regular mechanical timer we have.
I added all our info to my signature because as we start this season I think I am going to have more than a few questions. So many questions have already been answered by reading old posts but some are very specfic to our set up.
Thanks in advance for any help.
