About this manual

The Compool LX-220 Solar Control System is a differential temperature control designed for solar-heated swimming pools. It automatically activates a motorized three-port solar valve and/or a solar booster pump when solar energy is available. The system includes the LX-220 control unit, a valve actuator, a three-port valve, and two temperature sensors. It is also available as a booster pump system without the valve components.

The guide provides detailed instructions on installation, including plumbing requirements, mounting the control and valve actuator, connecting water and solar sensors, and high voltage wiring. It also covers operating instructions for various lights and switches, winterizing procedures, and a problem-solving section for common issues like non-illuminating lights or sensor malfunctions.
