Yes, the sensor is after the pump before solar. Pump comes on at low RPM at 10am, solar and cleaner Noon till 2pm, back to low RPM with solar option ramp up from 2-5pm. When the pump shut down at 5pm last night it was 88 in the pool, it's been running for 30 min today and is at 82. Cover...

I'm using the history function in the Pentail Screenlogic App to track whether or not there are any changes. It tracks outside and pool temps. I'm wondering if the pool cover I have isn't as good as I thought when I bought it. Although it has good Amazon reviews, some of the reviews say it...

Hello all. My solar system has been awesome since you guys helped me design and install it. Works beautifully. My question today is about solar covers. I've noticed with mine that it doesn't seem to affect temperature one way or the other. I've put it on, taken it off...temps are the...

Thanks for all the help guys! I literally couldn't have done it without you and the search function in here. Everything from installing and programming the easytouch to adjusting the cams on the three way valve, it's all in here.

I had intended to. But then I read an article that advises against it. Was still half considering it for aesthetics, but then I got up on the roof for three days installing the system...in June, in Florida. My handy laser temp doodad says the reason it burnt my butt to sit on the shingles is...

Well it is up and running. Easy touch was fighting me, wouldn't control the solar automatically but I was pretty sure I had the programming right. Finally hit the reset out of frustration and when it came back...works as intended. The shocking thing is how quickly the pool temp increased. Up...

Ok, It's taken a couple days but the majority of the solar system is installed. It's not a lot of fun to do solo but I managed. I still have to strap the piping to the roof in places which brings up a question. The first photo, on the left the return pipe runs straight down the roof for...

I decided to come home and do some research before buying the straps for piping on the roof. I spoke to Techno-Solis about it. They said standard pipe straps from Home Depot are fine for running across the roof and their install video shows the same. Aquasol's install manual specs either...

I did see the clamps used by your installers Brent. Pretty slick, but I have no idea where to source those. I'm not sure they are the only option either. I'm leaning towards oversized two hole galvanized pipe straps at this point, but I'm still very open to suggestion.

The 2 1/2 inch straps my local stores carry are galvanized for electrical conduit. Is that sufficient?

Ok, this is moving along nicely now. Panels are ready for pickup and I'm done with the pad plumbing, easytouch is installed and IC40 is running. I'm working on piping on the roof now which looks to be pretty simple but I've bumped into my next question. One of the install manuals I read...

Thanks guys. I'm learning as I go here and this site has been a world of help, though this is the first time I've asked any questions as search typically finds what I need. I will move the VRV to the upper right on the lower array. We have no plans for PV panels as I'm not generally a fan...

Hello all. I'm getting ready to buy and install solar panels and thought I would run my plan past those who know a lot more about these things than I do....just to make sure I'm not planning anything overly stupid. I'll try to include as much info as possible. I'm a commercial builder and...
