1. Preparing Pool/Spa Water
General Water Chemistry
Salt is required only if you are using the chlorinator features on the Aqua Logic Control. If you are NOT
using the chlorinator, it is recommended that you follow all of the other chemistry recommendations besides salt. Refer to the description of the Aqua Logic configuration menu for information on enabling/
disabling the chlorinator (see page 19).
Water Chemistry
The table below summarizes the levels that are recommended by the National Spa and Pool Institute
(NSPI). The only special requirements for the Aqua Logic are the salt level and stabilizer.
Saturation index
The saturation index (Si) relates to the calcium and alkalinity in the water and is an indicator of the pool
water “balance”. Your water is properly balanced if the Si is 0 ±0.2. If the Si is below -0.2, the water is
corrosive and plaster pool walls will be dissolved into the water . If the Si is above +0.2, scaling and
staining will occur. Use the chart below to determine the saturation index.
Si = pH + Ti + Ci + Ai - 12.

How to use: Measure pool pH, temperature, calcium hardness,
and total alkalinity. Use the chart above to determine Ti, Ci,and
Ai from your measurements. Insert values of pH, Ti, Ci and Ai
into the above equation. If Si equals .2 or more, scaling and
staining may occur. If Si equals -.2 or less corrosion or irritation
may occur.

The pool’s chemistry must be balanced BEFORE activating the Aqua Logic’ s optional chlorinator function. NOTE: If the pool does not have new water, add metal remover and non-copper based algaecide
to the pool, per manufacturer’s instructions. This ensures a quick, troublefree transfer to the Aqua Logic
system.
Salt
Adjust salt levels only when using the AQL-P-4 optional chlorinator function (requires the use of the AQLCL chlorination kit sold separately).
Salt Level
Use the chart below to determine how much salt in pounds or (Kgs) should be added to reach the recommended levels. Use the equations on the following page (measurements are in feet/gallons and meters/
liters) if pool size is unknown.
The operating salt level is between 2700-3400 PPM (parts per million) with 3200 PPM being optimal.
Before adding any salt, test the salt level. This is especially important for retrofit installation to older pools
where all of the chlorine added to the pool over time is ending up as salt. If the level is low , determine the
number of gallons in the pool and add salt according to the chart below . A low salt level will reduce the
efficiency of the sanitization and result in low chlorine production. A high salt level can cause the Aqua
Logic to stop chlorinating. The salt in your pool/spa is constantly recycled and the loss of salt throughout
the swimming season should be minimal. This loss is due primarily to the addition of water because of
splashing, backwashing, or draining (because of rain). Salt is not lost due to evaporation.

Type of Salt to Use
It is important to use only sodium chloride (NaCl) salt that is greater than 99% pure. This is common food
quality or water softener salt and is usually available at building supply stores in 40-80 lb. bags labeled
coarse or fine “Solar Salt”. It is also acceptable to use water conditioning salt pellets, however, it will take
longer for them to dissolve. Do not use rock salt, or salt with more than 1% of yellow prussiate of soda,
salt with anti-caking additives, or iodized salt.
How to Add Salt
For new plaster pools, wait 10-14 days before adding salt to allow the plaster to cure. T urn the circulating
pump on and add salt directly into the pool. Brush the salt around to speed up the dissolving process—do
not allow salt to pile up on the bottom of the pool. Run the filter pump for 24 hours with the suction coming
from the main drain (use pool vacuum if there is no main drain) to allow the salt to evenly disperse throughout the pool. The salt display may take 24 hours to respond to the change in salt concentration.
Always check stabilizer (cyanuric acid), when checking salt. These levels will most likely decline together .
Use the chart below to determine how much stabilizer must be added to raise the level to 80 ppm.

2. Mounting the Equipment
Aqua Logic Control Center
The Aqua Logic is contained in a raintight enclosure that is suitable for outdoor mounting. The control must
be mounted a minimum of 5 ft. (2 meters) horizontal distance from the pool/spa (or more, if local codes
require). The Control Center is designed to mount vertically on a flat surface with the knockouts facing
downward. Because the enclosure also acts as a heat sink (disperses heat from inside the box), it is
important not to block the four sides of the control. Do not mount the Aqua Logic inside a panel or tightly
enclosed area.
When selecting a location, note that the standard cables supplied with the Turbo Cell, flow switch, temperature sensors, and valve actuators (if applicable) are all 15 ft. (5m) long. Call the Goldline Service
Dept. (888-921-7665) for information regarding longer cables.
Temperature Sensors
The water temperature sensor is required for proper operation of the heater control and/or solar control
functions. This sensor is used to measure the pool water temperature when the pool/spa suction valve is
switched to the “pool” position and measures the spa water temperature when the valve is switched to the
“spa” position. The sensor should be installed in the filtration plumbing after the filter but before either the
solar or conventionally fueled heaters—refer to the plumbing overview diagram.
1. Drill a 3/8” (10mm) diameter hole in the PVC piping and remove all chips and burrs.
2. Insert sensor until O-ring collar sits flush on the hole.
3. Position hose clamp over the sensor and gently tighten until O-ring makes an adequate seal. Do not
overtighten.
4. For maximum temperature accuracy, cover the sensor and 3” (6cm) of pipe on either side with
insulation and paint white.
Also, if the freeze protection option is selected for the filter pump or any aux output, the air sensor is used
to detect freeze conditions.
The solar sensor (order separately) is required only for the solar control function. Mount the sensor near
the solar collector array so that it is exposed to the same sunlight as the collectors. Use additional cable
(20 A WG) if necessary .
IMPORT ANT : Mount the air sensor out of direct sunlight.

Optional AQL-CL Chlorination Kit
The AQL-P4 and AQL-PS-4/8/16 models require the use of the AQL-CL or AQL-CL-25FT chlorination kit when using the chlorinator function. This kit contains a T urbo Cell, cell unions and flow switch.
Refer to pages 9 and 18 for plumbing and wiring instructions.
Optional Remote Display/Keypad
The Aqua Logic Remote Display/Keypad (Goldline part number AQL-WMW -P4 must be mounted indoors or in a weather protected area (rain should never hit the display/keypad). Up to 3 remote display/
keypads (1 supplied with Aqua Logic, order additional remote display/keypads separately) can be installed. The display/keypad is designed to mount onto a standard electrical utility box (ideal for new
construction) or can be mounted directly onto any wall surface. When selecting a location, note that the
wire to the Aqua Logic main unit must be less than 500’ long. Follow the steps below:
1. Remove display/keypad baseplate from the cover by lifting up on the cover at the lower end of the
keypad. See diagram on page 7.

2. Screw the baseplate in the desired position (screws supplied by installer).

3. See “Electrical Wiring” (page 17) for instructions on running the cable from the Aqua Logic main
unit to the remote display/keypad.
Optional Base Receiver
The optional base receiver (Goldline part number AQL-BASE-RF) must be installed if the wireless spaside
remote is used. T o install the base receiver, remove the knockout on the upper left side of the Aqua Logic
main control unit, insert the base receiver, and then tighten the nut from the inside. Also refer to the Base
Receiver manual and the diagram on page 17.
Optional V alve Actuators
For optional actuators supplied with the Aqua Logic—note that the internal cams in the actuator may also
have to be adjusted depending on the way the actuator is mounted on the valve and the desired valve
action.
