Re: Wind is affecting temp sensor for solar heating. What to bobby1017 - not sure what you're saying about how your sensor is mounted but I'm real curious. If it's just stuck to the roof with some tar, what do you mean by "no wind can blow around it" ? What is keeping wind from blowing across...

Re: Wind is affecting temp sensor for solar heating. What to The installers said it's a 10 degree differential. I didn't ask at the time but we have some fancy new controller so I'm positive it's adjustable - I'm just not too familiar with this stuff yet. And yeah - the water is really warm...

Re: Wind is affecting temp sensor for solar heating. What to I'm in So Cal so the temp of the air is pretty much always less than the pool. What I need to be concerned with is available heat, as JohnT points out. I don't understand the physics of it all, but I would assume there is "available...

Re: Wind is affecting temp sensor for solar heating. What to Thanks for all the replies. Today was only mildly windy and the solar turned off and on at least 15 times in an 8 hour period. Just doesn't seem right. If nothing else I assume this is murder on my pumps, valves, etc. and will...

Re: Wind is affecting temp sensor for solar heating. What to Thanks for the replies. Pool Clown - do you poke any holes in the cup or just use it as is??

So we recently added solar to help heat our pool. On windy days I notice that the solar heating turns off and on quite a bit, and the pool doesn't get as warm as it should. I know the solar will only run if the temperature up on the roof is at least 10 degrees warmer than the pool, so I assume...
