Heat Menu (2/13)

Use the heat menu settings to specify the set point temperature and select the heat source for the pool and
spa. The water will begin to heat whenever the heater is manually switched on. To switch the heater on, press
the Spa button (Up arrow button) or switch the Filter Pump to “On” (see Circuit On/Off on page 13) even if
the heater is set to off. The spa will also begin to heat when switched on by the optional QuickTouch wireless
remote. The SunTouch system allows for solar and conventional heaters. The SunTouch will use the heating
source that is selected. The heat source selections are:
•OFF - No heating even though pump and other circuits may be operating.
•HEATER - Use gas heater only. Use the UP arrow button to switch the filter pump then the heater
on. Once the heater is switched on it will continue heating the water until the heater’s current highest
set point temperature triggers the heater sensor (approximately 104° F or 40° C). Note that setting
the “Heat Source” to “Heater” does not activate the filter pump. The filter pump must first be
switched on before the heater switches on. The heater will not run if water flow is not detected. Do
not activate the heater without running the pump.
•SOLAR - Solar heating system selected as the only heat source. Solar heat can be switched on and
off in the “Solar” menu (see page 20). When solar energy is active the solar relay is switched on to
activate the booster pump (if installed) and rotate the valves to divert water through the solar
collector panels.
•SOLAR PREF. - (Solar Preferred) - Used when solar and gas heating are combined. This feature
uses solar heating energy when it is most effective, then switch to gas heating when solar heating is
not available. In order to display “Solar Pref.” on the main screen, enable “Solar” in the Solar menu
(see page 20).
