Freeze Protection in Solar Only mode<br />
The SunTouch freeze protection function is active once the optional air sensor is installed and enabled<br />
(see page 8). Freeze protection is enabled whenever the outside temperature is 36º F or lower. When freezing<br />
conditions are detected by the air sensor the filter pump will be switched on and water will circulate continuously<br />
through the system. It’s important that the air sensor be permanently placed in the shade and away from windy<br />
locations. In the event of a power failure, the system will be unprotected. Recirculating water to protect your<br />
system from freezing is not recommended in climates where freezing temperatures occur frequently and last for<br />
extended periods.<br />
CAUTION If you live in a location where freezing conditions occur and there is no air sensor installed<br />
or the air sensor is not enabled, your system will be unprotected.<br />

menu features let you create customized schedules for your pool and spa equipment, heat temperatures and<br />
chlorination settings to switch on and off at a time and day. For maintenance and service purposes, the control<br />
panel allows manual control of all pool and spa operations.<br />
