The German solar heating specialist for swimming pools, SOLAR-RIPP, is currently extending its range by introducing the new solar controller SRC181RO.

The unit which is controlled by a micro-processor in compact design has four digital displays: current pool water temperature, current solar temperature of the SOLAR-RIPP solar absorber, maximum temperature set by the operator at which the system switches off in each case as well as the adjustable start-up temperature difference can be read. In particular, the adjustable maximum temperature is important for Mediterranean countries so that the pool does not become too warm.

Apart from the control unit, the contents of delivery include an exchangeable pool water sensor which is installed in the filter cable before branching off to the solar energy plant. The control unit automatically controls the swimming pool filter pump or an external booster pump as well as motor-driven valve.
