INSTALLATION
Mounting
The Aqua Solar is designed for outdoor use. Mount the enclosure vertically with the
knockouts facing downward. For safety, the Aqua Solar must be a minimum of 5
feet (horizontally) from the pool or spa.
Power input
Turn off power at circuit breaker before wiring. Follow NEC and all local electrical
codes. Wire to either 120VAC or 240VAC per the diagram below. If the Aqua Solar
is being powered from the same circuit as one of the pumps, wire to the relay first
and then jumper over the Aqua Solar terminal block. Do NOT use the Aqua Solar
terminal block as a junction for pump power, the terminal block is not rated for high
amps. Be sure to connect the earth ground to the green terminal.
Output wiring to solar diverter valve
Most installations use a solar valve, which diverts water through the collector panels
when solar heat is available. For Goldline
®
, Jandy
®
, and Compool
®
valve actuators
(with wire end connectors), two 3-pin connectors are supplied. Plug the actuator
into one of the Aqua Solar's two 3-pin connectors (see diagram above for location of
connectors). If the valve operates opposite to the way it is supposed to, disconnect
and plug into the other connector.
