About this manual

The Pentair SolarTouch solar controller system consists of a four-button controller, a valve actuator, a diverter valve, and two temperature sensors. It maximizes available solar heat by monitoring water and solar collector temperatures to automatically divert pool circulation through the collectors when heating is required.

This guide provides instructions for installing the controller enclosure, connecting power and wiring, mounting the unit, and integrating with IntelliFlo and IntelliPro pumps. It also details how to use the control panel menus for temperature adjustment, nocturnal cooling, freeze protection, and system diagnostics.
