PoolPilot Digital Total Control Temp Sensor Location with Heater

[Poolsean]

The delta T (change in temperature from the inlet to the outlet) from a heat pump is not drastic enough to affect the automatic temperature compensation. It should be about 3-5 degrees. A gas heater would be about 7 - 10 degrees and would affect the temp compensation.
I would not worry about it with your set up.

With a gas heater, if you position the manifold at least 4' after the heater outlet, there should be enough dissipation of the heat to not affect the temp compensation that much.

You're fine going from your 1.5" lines up to 2" then back down.

Sean,

Once again thank you for the quick reply.

This is great news and yes it further away than your figure plus it remixes with the pool's unheated water.

Have all the equipment and additional equipement tools needed to install. The electrician, as we need to upgrade and relocate the box, says he will be out here Wednesday. Will let you know how it is working after a week.

Aloha.
