The Senztek SolaSmart Plus controller is a premium replacement controller designed for Edson solar hot water systems that are not circulating properly, failing to heat, or showing incorrect temperature readings.
If your Edson system is not working correctly, the controller is often the cause. This model restores reliable operation while improving system efficiency with advanced control features.
This is a common solar hot water controller replacement for Edson systems.
