I started our solar system about 10 days ago and all was well, but yesterday realized there was no warm water entering the pool and the valve actuator was in the "off" position despite the SunTouch system being in the solar mode. After reading several posts, I'm pretty sure the solar valve actuator is not functioning or responding properly. Several TFPers have mentioned microswitches that may need replacement. A couple of questions:
Where are these located? A diagram of the Pentair actuator doesn't show these and I didn't see anything obvious in the SunTouch service panel.
Can I manually open the actuator valve to direct water to our panels while awaiting a final fix? There is no response when I flip from "On 1" to "On 2" on the actuator itself. Thank you for any advice.
