This allows the water to flow to the solar collectors.
The solar roof sensor must be 6° higher than the water temperature. The pump must be
ON for a few minutes for operation. When the roof sensor and the water temperature are
within 3° of each other, solar heat will switch off. The solar temperature start and stop
differential settings are factory set at 6° and 3°. These differential settings are adjustable
in the Advanced Menu settings. Refer to your solar service professional for the optimum
