I leave mine on the rack year round.

Nice! I went with 2" collectors to maybe reduce some flow restrictions. I see a 5-6psi rise at 50 gal/min when the solar is heating. Just circulating the water without solar it 0 psi at 30 gal/min.

That's what I'm after. The temperature probes look like they can be used as a standalone unit but the info says it needs a station to work.

I have 10 4x12 Aquatherm panels and they have been great. I installed them 5 years ago and haven't had any issues.

Thanks for those ideas. Not sure how I would plumb those into the solar return pipes tho.

Is there a good place to get the extra relay kits from?

I'm looking for a standalone unit that isn't connected to anything else. Like a meat thermometer type of thing. Just want to be able to observe the temp rise that my panels provide.

Did you happen to move your solar sensor when installing the new panels? When I first built my wooden solar ground rack, I didn't paint the wood that the sensor is mounted on. It would always read low. I painted the wood black where the sensor is and it now reads as it should.

Was there much involved in soldering the resistor? What programmer did you order? I'm hoping to do the same with my ET4.

For some reason when I open the pool in the spring I have to calibrate my solar sensor. It tends to read low. I wait till the sun is down and compare the solar temp to the air temp. They should be the same when there is no sun. I also use a digital temperature gun to read what temperature both...

Does anyone have anything similar to what I'm looking for?

The other reason would be to decrease head pressure when the heater is not heating. My system, without a heater operates at about 70 watts for 30 gal/min of flow. It would probably take about 400 watts when going through the heater at that flow rate. Substantial electrical savings over time.

Pink star is where I put mine.

I've found the same thing. Android version is subpar to say the least. I mostly use my laptop and Ipad. Pentair should really update the Android app.

I am looking for a temperature sensor or probe to monitor the temperature rise from my solar panels. I don't need anything fancy, something standalone would do. I currently use all 3 sensors of my Easytouch. I have considered using the airtemp sensor for this but I like having the freeze...
