Pentair SolarTouch Digital Solar Control System

Pentair SolarTouch® Solar Control System

Comfortable pool temperatures. Simple, automatic control.

Enjoy solar pool heating with less hands-on adjustment. The Pentair SolarTouch Solar Control System monitors your pool water and solar collector temperatures, automatically directing water through the collectors when solar heat is available and your pool needs warmth.

Set your preferred temperature with easy push-button controls, then let SolarTouch manage the heating cycle.

Features & Benefits

• Precise digital settings: Adjust temperature calibration in 1° increments and customize heating settings.
• Compatible pump integration: Works with compatible IntelliFlo® and IntelliPro® variable speed pumps to coordinate pump operation with solar heating.
• Easy-to-read display: View temperatures, settings, and operating status on the LCD screen.
• Helpful status indicators: LED lights show normal operation and alert you when the system needs attention.
• Automatic collector drainage: The included drain-down valve allows collectors to drain when the pump shuts off, when the system is properly installed and configured.
• Dependable valve components: A maintenance-free PTFE valve seal and a motorized actuator with steel gears support reliable operation.
• Outdoor durability: A weatherproof composite enclosure protects the controller.

Automated Heating & Cooling

Solar Heating
SolarTouch compares pool water and collector temperatures to determine when useful solar heat is available. It automatically controls water flow through the collectors based on your temperature settings.

Nighttime Cooling
When enabled, nighttime cooling circulates warmer pool water through cooler solar collectors to help lower the water temperature when conditions allow.

Freeze Protection
When enabled and properly configured, freeze protection activates circulation at low temperatures to help reduce the risk of collector damage in mild climates. This feature requires power and adequate water flow and does not replace winterization in areas with prolonged freezing temperatures.

• One Pentair SolarTouch digital controller
• One Pentair three-port CPVC solar drain-down valve with 2″ / 2½″ connections
