❄️ WINTER MODE — INSTALLER CHEAT SHEET (Controller‑Specific)

🔧 1. Winter Mode Activation

• Enable Winter Mode — reduces filtration, chlorination, and heating logic
• Confirm correct mode on display — avoid customer confusion
• Check automation handover — ensure pump/heat sources follow controller logic

🔁 2. Filtration Scheduling

• Set winter filtration hours — 2–4 hrs/day
• Run during warmest part of day — 11am–3pm
• Split into short cycles — improves chemical distribution

⚙️ 3. Pump RPM Profiles

• Set low‑RPM winter profile — 900–1400 RPM
• Allow auto‑RPM boost for heating — only when heating is active
• Disable high‑RPM cleaning cycles — unless manually triggered

🌞 4. Solar Heating Lockout

• Turn Solar OFF or Standby — prevents cold‑roof water
• Check roof sensor health — avoid false heating calls
• Disable boost/extended heat — unnecessary in winter

🔥 5. Heat Pump Winter Logic

• Disable heating unless requested — default OFF
• If heating ON: daytime only — prevents overnight run
• Lower setpoint by 2–4°C — reduces energy use

💧 6. Anti‑Stagnation Cycles

• Enable short burst cycles — 5–10 mins every 24–48 hrs
• Low RPM only — just enough to move water
• Independent of main schedule — runs even when filtration is off

🌡️ 7. Sensor Calibration & Drift

• Check water temp sensor — cold weather drift
• Check roof sensor — solar lockout accuracy
• Check pipe sensor — heating logic stability

🧊 8. Freeze Protection (If Supported)

• Enable freeze protection — 2–4°C
• Set low‑RPM freeze circulation
• Disable heating during freeze events

📣 9. Customer Notes (Prevent Call‑Backs)

• Explain reduced run times
• Explain solar/heating lockout
• Explain low RPM operation
