The LX220 Control System is a basic differential temperature control designed especially for
solar-heated Swimming Pool applications. Whenever solar energy is available, the Control will
automatically activate a motorized three-port Solar Valve and/or a Solar Booster Pump.
Remember to set the filter pump timer so that the filter pump is operating during that time of the
day when solar energy is available.
If the Swimming Po ol u t ilizes a pool cleaner booster pump, the Control wi l l op tio nal ly di sab l e
the pump for a period of 4 minutes whenever the solar syst em turns on. This protects the pump
from possible damage caused by residual air within the solar panels.
The LX220/2TX Solar Valve Control System includes the following components:
LX-220 Solar Control
CVA-24T Valve Actuator
PTV-2TS 3-Port Valve
TS-5T Temperature Sensor (2 qty.)
Note: The System is also available without Valve and Valve Actuator. Order LX220/B Solar
Booster Pump System.
Tools Required: 5/16” Drill for Water Sensor. Cable for Solar Sensor.
