IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
• READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
• Disconnect all AC power during installation.
• Warning – To reduce the risk of injury do not permit children to use this
product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
• A green colored terminal marked “EARTH” is located inside the wiring
compartment. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this terminal must
be connected to the grounding means provided in the electrical supply
service panel with a continuous copper wire equivalent in size to the
circuit conductors supplying the equipment.
• All field installed metal components such as rails, ladders, drains, or
other similar hardware within 3 meters of the pool, spa or hot tub shall be
bonded to the equipment grounding bus with copper conductors not
smaller than 8 AWG US/ 6 AWG Canada.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Aqua Solar Digital Solar Control System
The Aqua Solar Digital Solar Control System is a differential temperature control for
solar heating of pools, spas, and hot tubs. The Aqua Solar is available in 3 models;
AQ-SOL-LV, AQ-SOL-LV-TC and AQ-SOL-LV-SP. These models provide differential temperature control with an adjustable calibrated water temperature high limit.
Both offer a built-in digital display for solar, water, and ambient temperature information as well as programmable set point temperature. Automatic nocturnal cooling
(for pools that overheat in hot climates) and recirculate freeze protection functions
can be enabled/disabled via internal jumpers. The AQ-SOL-L V-TC additionally provides a filter pump time clock, programmable in 15-minute intervals with multiple
ON/OFF times. The AQ-SOL-LV-SP model provides a solar priority function—one
of the optional high voltage relays can be used to remove power from the conventional heater whenever solar heating is available. This maximizes the heat contribution from solar. Front panel indicator LED’s also provide immediate feedback of
system state such as heating, cooling, and sensor fault.
Specifications
Power: 105-130VAC, .5A 50/60Hz. or
195-250VAC, .3A 50/60Hz
Valve Output: 24VAC, 20VA, .85A max.
Industry standard 3 pin connector
Relay Outputs: DPST isolated contacts; 3HP@240V, 1.5HP@120V, booster
pump, pool sweep interlock, or filter pump; 1 relay supplied with
AQ-SOL-LV-TC, maximum of 2; order relays separately (part no.
AQ-RELAY); relays are industry standard
Sensors: 2 required for "SOLAR" and "POOL" temperatures; 3rd sensor

protection; (all sensors are thermistor type, 10K@25ºC/77ºF,
additional freeze snap switches may be wired in series with the
"AUX" sensor when used for recirculate freeze protection)
Field Selectable options

OPERATION
The Aqua Solar is a fully automatic solar heating control which requires minimal set
up or adjustment under normal operating conditions. Typically the following is
required:
1. Set the main switch to AUTO
2. Set the “Desired T emperature” knob to the desired temperature for the pool
3. Set the time clock for the correct time, the desired hours of filtration, and
“auto” operation (model AQ-SOL-LV-TC only)
The “Heating” LED will show when the pool is being solar heated. If your pool has
a pool sweep, the Aqua Solar will turn it of f for approximately 6 minutes when solar
heat is turned on. This will allow air to be purged from the system.
Controls and Displays
MAIN SWITCH
ON: The Aqua Solar directs water through the solar collectors regardless of
desired temperature setting. Both the “Heating” and “Cooling” LED’s will
be on. For model AQ-SOL-LV-TC, this also turns on the filter pump.
AUTO: For normal operation. In this position, the Aqua Solar will operate
automatically based on the solar and pool temperatures.
OFF: The Aqua Solar ceases solar heating or cooling (if enabled). Recirculate freeze protection (if enabled) will still operate normally. This switch
does NOT remove power from the unit--to service the equipment, disconnect
power at the main circuit breaker.
DESIRED TEMPERATURE
Set the desired pool temperature. The digital display will show the exact temperature while rotating the Desired Temperature knob. The display reverts back to the
default pool temperature display a few seconds later.
TIMECLOCK (model AQ-SOL-L V-TC only)
The time clock controls the hours of operation for the filter pump. The pump can
be programmed in 15-minute intervals with multiple on/off periods per day. Per
NSPI standards, the pump should run long enough each day to filter all of the
water in the pool each day.
Set the Aqua Solar timeclock to the correct time by rotating the clock dial in a
clockwise direction. The internal “hands” show time at a glance and the arrow
(approximately 2 o’clock on dial) point indicates AM/PM. Set the pump on/off
time using the series of small slide "trippers" located around the outside of the
timeclock. Each tripper controls a 15-minute interval.
OFF - Push trippers IN (toward center)
ON - Pull trippers OUT (away from center)
