It is the same sensor Pentair fits at the factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSolar heating only helps when the panels are hotter than the pool. The solar sensor sits at the collector array and reports that temperature back to the controller, which compares it with the water reading and decides whether to send flow up to the roof. Get that reading wrong and the system either sits idle on a good day or pushes water through cold panels and loses heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to replace it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSensors live outdoors in full sun and eventually drift or fail open. If the controller displays a solar temperature that cannot be right, or your solar valve never actuates on a hot afternoon, replace the sensor before you start troubleshooting the valve or the actuator.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48634473316564,"sku":"COM-30-748","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/pentair_solortemp_sensor_522101.jpg?v=1788831854","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/pentair-522101-solar-temperature-sensor","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
