Aqua Solar Pool Heating Control

Conserving energy, reducing pollution and "going green" are in everyone's best interest. With the Aqua Solar® Goldline Controls' Solar Combos, you'll be doing your part because solar controls are as environmentally responsible as they are high-performance and user-friendly.

The Solar Combos are bundled systems consisting of a controller, an actuator, a diverter valve and two temperature sensors. They maximize solar heat collection by monitoring the temperature of both your solar collectors and your swimming pool. When your pool needs heating - and your solar collectors are in energy-receiving mode - the Aqua Solar® controller automatically diverts the water flowing between your pool's filter and gas heater and routes it through your solar collectors. There, the water is heated to a pre-set temperature, or until no more solar energy is available, at which time the gas or electric heater kicks in, using only as much fuel as necessary to make up the difference.

A Solar Combo can cool your pool, too. If the temperature in the collectors is at least 8° cooler than your swimming pool water, and your pool is above its desired temperature level, you can program the Aqua Solar® system to automatically open the diverter valve to take advantage of the solar collector's heat dissipation capability. This continues until either the collector temperature rises to within 3° of the pool temperature or the desired pool temperature is reached.

With a Solar Combo, you can start your swimming season earlier, enjoy it longer, and help reduce fossil fuel consumption and limit greenhouse emissions.
