"Weston Pool Co installed our heat pump last autumn and the difference has been remarkable. We're swimming well into May now. Professional from start to finish."
A solar pool controller is the brain of your solar heating system — automatically monitoring temperatures, controlling circulation pumps and ensuring your pool is heated efficiently without any manual intervention. Modern controllers go beyond basic solar management, integrating heat pump and gas backup systems, smartphone connectivity and detailed energy monitoring. Weston Pool Co supplies and installs solar controllers from the leading brands.
Automatic Temperature Management
Set your desired pool temperature and let the controller do the rest. It monitors both pool and collector temperatures, circulating water through solar panels whenever conditions are ideal for heating.
Hybrid System Integration
Advanced controllers can manage solar heating alongside heat pump or gas backup, automatically switching between energy sources based on availability and conditions — always prioritising the cheapest option.
Smartphone App Control
Monitor your pool temperature, solar contribution and system status from anywhere via a smartphone app. Adjust settings and check performance whether you're at home or away.
Energy Monitoring & Reports
Track exactly how much energy your solar system is collecting and how much heating cost you're saving. Detailed reporting helps you optimise your system over time.
PV Integration
Some advanced controllers can integrate with your home's solar PV generation data, routing excess solar electricity to the heat pump during peak generation hours for even greater savings.
