    Why is my Davey SolarMatic Controller temperature display flashing a fault code?

      Brian ReedAug 12, 2025
      If your Davey Controller is showing a flashing fault code on the temperature display, first check that the POOL sensor cable is intact, that the brass sensor is correctly fitted into the pipe, and that the connector (BLACK) is properly plugged into the control unit. Also, cold roof temperatures can trigger this fault code, so wait for warmer conditions. Ensure the ROOF temperature cable is intact and the connector (RED) is properly plugged into the unit. Finally, verify that both POOL and ROOF temperature cables are intact and their connectors are properly plugged into the unit.

    How to troubleshoot a Davey Controller if the pool is not heating or not hot enough?

      Logan GutierrezAug 18, 2025
      If your pool isn't heating sufficiently with the Davey Controller, it could be due to several reasons. Check if the ROOF temperature is below the SET temperature and wait for warmer weather. Also, ensure the POOL temperature isn't already above the SET temperature; adjust the SET temperature if needed. Finally, insufficient solar radiation or solar collectors may be the cause; wait for warmer weather and verify that enough solar collectors have been installed for your pool size.

      If the Davey Controller is causing your pool to heat in winter, reduce the SET temperature to its minimum value. When warmer weather returns, simply adjust the SET temperature back to your preferred comfort level.
