Temperature Sensors
Standard 10K Thermistors
Temperature sensors for Pentair, Hayward, Jandy, and other automation are standard 10K ohm thermistor sensors. They are used for air, water, and solar temperatures.
Temperature sensors in other pool equipment also use 10K thermistors, including:
- Pentair IntelliChlor - the Harwil Q-12DST-C2 in it has an integrated 10k thermistor.
- Pentair MasterTemp heaters
- Hayward Aquarite - used for calculating salinity and detecting high or low temperatures.[1]
Testing
The sensor can be tested with a multimeter. It should read 10,000 ohms at 77G degrees. You can lookup other test values in the Temperature vs Resistance Conversion Chartfor 10k Thermistors.
To test the device a 10K resistor can be plugged in in-place of the thermistor cable and the device should read it as 77F degrees.
Hayward Pool Boss system
The temp sensors (PSC2023 and PSC2022) on the Hayward Pool Boss system are not 10K thermistors.[2]
