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.

✔ Common signs your controller needs replacing

  • No hot water or poor heating
  • Pump not turning on
  • Incorrect temperature readings
  • System overheating
  • Inconsistent system performance

✔ Why choose SolaSmart over SolaStat?

The SolaSmart Plus includes advanced features not found in standard SolaStat controllers, including:

  • Smart “Top-Out” control for improved heat recovery
  • Boost function for additional hot water when needed

This allows better energy efficiency and improved system performance compared to older controllers.

✔ Designed for Edson systems

This controller is commonly used as a replacement for Edson solar hot water systems using Senztek controllers.

✔ When this controller is suitable

  • Replacing an Edson Senztek controller
  • Systems requiring improved performance
  • Faulty or ageing controller

✔ When it may NOT be suitable

  • Systems requiring simple 1-2 or 1-3 controllers
  • Non-Senztek controller systems
  • Systems without advanced control requirements

✔ Not the same as other controllers

  • SolaSmart → advanced solar circulation control
  • SolaStat → standard solar circulation
  • AlphaStat → electric booster control
  • Reclaim → heat pump systems
