Can you write more about that? I use a Resol DeltaSol BS Pro controller and have occasionally noticed it running the pump when I wouldn't have expected it to. I thought it was something to do with what the manual calls OTC Tube Collector Special Function, where a 2-degree rise in collector temperature causes a 30-second running of the pump, but now you have put a doubt in my mind.
When you say to only turn on above 20C do you mean 20C tube temperature, not 20C ambient?
