From the FPH docs, it sounds like the way the FPH controller works is it will switch back and forth between air and water cooled each time the AC comes on (via the recovery valve). During the hot months, my AC cycles on and off every 15 minutes or so. This means the FPH would constantly be switching back and forth between air and water cooled, not to mention turning the pool pump on and off, which doesn't seem ideal.
I wonder if there's a way to keep the FPH in water cooled mode permanently, until the pool reaches the desired temp? Any thoughts on this?
@NJdiy Did you end up doing this? How did it work out? As part of this setup, I'm guessing you'd want the FPH to stay in water cooled mode unless/until air cooling is needed?

So guys, here I am posting the Controller circuit that I came up with to achieve the above. You have to cut the thermostat wire going into the outdoor AC unit and connect it to the controller and then the controller connects to the other end of the thermostat wire going into the outdoor unit. Please poke holes in the circuit plan my if any. Thanks !!
