Why You'll Love It
Reliable Performance
High-accuracy photocell technology delivers consistent activation at sunrise and deactivation at sunset, ensuring your pool remains clear even during fluctuating weather conditions.
Low-Stress Ownership
Eliminates the complexity of mechanical pins and digital scheduling; the system adjusts itself naturally to the changing length of the day throughout the season.
Built to Last
Heavy-duty construction meets CSA and IEC safety standards, featuring a weather-resistant housing designed to withstand UV exposure and humidity.
Easy Integration
The 20-amp twist-lock design provides a secure and grounded electrical connection that fits standard pool equipment outlets without complex wiring.
PRO TIP
Position the photocell sensor away from strong artificial light sources like floodlights or pool house lanterns, as these can interfere with the sensor’s ability to detect natural sunset.
Always follow manufacturer instructions and local codes. Proper installation, operation, and routine maintenance help ensure optimal performance and longevity.
