The Pentair LX220 is a differential temperature control system designed specifically for solar-heated swimming pools. It automatically activates motorized three-port solar valves and/or solar booster pumps when solar energy is available to heat the pool water.
This manual provides comprehensive guidance on installing the system components, including the solar control unit, valve actuator, and temperature sensors. It details plumbing requirements, high voltage wiring connections for 115VAC or 230VAC, and specific procedures for integrating pool cleaner protection and booster pump controls.

A 5/16" drill is required to make a hole in the pipe for the water sensor installation.
The control must be mounted at a location greater than 5 feet from the pool or spa.
The control automatically disables the pool cleaner pump for 4 minutes to protect it from damage caused by air in the solar panels.
