OPERATION

The Aqua Rite Pro is an automatic chlorine generation system for pool or spa sanitiza­tion. The operation requires a low concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the pool
water . These levels are low enough that it normally will not be tasted. The Aqua Rite Pro
automatically sanitizes your pool by converting the salt into free chlorine which kills
bacteria and algae in the pool. Chlorine will revert back to sodium chloride after killing
bacteria. These reactions will continuously recycle virtually eliminating the need to add
sanitizing chemicals to your pool. The only time you may need to add more salt to the
pool is when water is replenished due to backwashing, draining, or splashing (not
evaporation).

The Aqua Rite Pro is designed to handle the purification needs of most residential
swimming pools up to 40,000 gallons (150,000 liters), or the needs of most commercial
pools up to 25,000 gallons (95,000 liters). Check local codes for other restrictions. The
actual amount of chlorination required to properly sanitize a pool varies due to bather
load, rainfall, temperature, and the pool's cleanliness.

Aqua Rite Pro chlorine generators operating with software version 1.10 or later are
designed to use one of 3 different chlorinator cells that are available from your autho­rized Goldline dealer . These cells are not included with the Aqua Rite Pro and must be
purchased before installation. Choose the appropriate cell based on the size of your
pool. The models are shown below:

T -CELL-15- for pools up to 40,000 gallons
T -CELL-9 - for pools up to 25,000 gallons
T -CELL-3 - for pools up to 15,000 gallons

Note that the installation and mounting requirements are the same for all models.
The Aqua Rite Pro can be used with the optional Goldline AQL-CHEM to provide a fully

integrated chemistry solution for your pool. W ith the AQL-CHEM installed, the Aqua
Rite Pro senses the pool's ORP and pH levels and automatically generates the correct
amount of chlorine to keep your pool properly sanitized. The Aqua Rite Pro can also
control pH by introducing acid or CO2 into the pool using an AQL-CHEM2 (120V), AQL­CHEM2-240 (240V) or other dispensing device requiring 120VAC or 240VAC on/off
control. The Aqua Rite Pro and AQL-CHEM products offer the user a complete auto­mated system controlling both sanitization and pH balance.

NOTE: Goldline does not recommend using the Aqua Rite Pro to generate bro­mine.

NOTE: Before installing this product as part of a saline water purification system in a
pool or spa using natural stone for coping or for immediately adjacent patios/decking, a
qualified stone installation specialist should be consulted regarding the appropriate
type, installation, sealant (if any) and maintenance of stone used around a saline pool
with electronic chlorine generator in your particular location and circumstances.

NOTE: The use of dry acid (sodium bisulfate) to adjust pool pH is discouraged espe­cially in arid regions where pool water is subject to excessive evaporation and is not
commonly diluted with fresh water. Dry acid can cause a buildup of by-products that
can damage your chlorinator cell.

Check System Indicator

The “CHECK SYSTEM” LED will alert you when the Aqua Rite Pro detects any of the
following conditions that are abnormal and require attention for optimal operation of
your pool. Press “<“ or “>” to view all of the existing “Check System” conditions.

• Inspect Cell -- For optimum operation, you will need to inspect the Aqua Rite Pro

chlorinator cell approximately every 3 months and clean the cell if necessary. The
Aqua Rite Pro will automatically remind you when it is time and display “Inspect Cell,
+ to reset” as part of the rotating Default Menu. Clean the cell (see instructions, page

12) and then press the “+” button during the “Inspect Cell” display to reset the timer .

• Low Salt/Minerals or V ery Low Salt/Minerals -- When the salt is too low the Aqua

Rite Pro will generate less chlorine and the life of the cell is degraded. Check the cell
and clean if necessary before adding salt.

Water Chemistry

The table below summarizes the levels that are recommended by The Association of
Pool and Spa Professionals (APSP). The only special requirements for the Aqua Rite
Pro are the salt level and stabilizer. It is important to maintain these levels in order to
prevent corrosion or scaling and to ensure maximum enjoyment of the pool. Test your
water periodically . Your authorized Aqua Rite Pro dealer or most pool stores can provide
you with the chemicals and procedures to adjust the water chemistry. Be sure to tell the
pool store that you are using an Aqua Rite Pro chlorine generator.

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 ±.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.

Salt Level

Use the chart on page 4 to determine how much salt in pounds or (Kgs) need to be added
to reach the recommended levels. Use the equations below (measurements are in feet/
gallons and meters/liters) if pool size is unknown.

The ideal salt level is between 2700-3400 ppm (parts per million) with 3200 ppm being
optimal. If the level is low, determine the number of gallons in the pool and add salt
according to the chart on page 4. A low salt level will reduce the efficiency of the Aqua
Rite Pro and result in low chlorine production. A high salt level can cause the Aqua Rite
Pro to shutdown and may begin to give a salty taste to your pool (generally , the salt will
begin to be tasted at a level of about 3500-4000 ppm). The salt in your pool/spa is
constantly recycled and the loss of salt throughout the swimming season should be
small. 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.

T ype 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 in 40-80 lb. bags
labeled "Coarse 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, salt with yellow
prussiate of soda, salt with anti-caking additives, or iodized salt.

How to Add or Remove Salt

For new plaster pools, wait 10-14 days before adding salt to allow the plaster to cure.
Turn 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 vac 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.

The only way to lower the salt concentration is to partially drain the pool and refill with
fresh water .

Always check stabilizer (cyanuric acid), when checking salt. These levels will most
likely decline together . Use the chart on page 5 to determine how much stabilizer must
be added to raise the level to 80 ppm.

Electrolytic Cell and Flow Switch:

The electrolytic cell and flow switch cables are terminated with connectors which plug
into the Aqua Rite Pro for easy attachment and removal. The door of the Aqua Rite Pro
must be open and the front panel removed to access the cell cable and flow switch
connectors. Route the flow switch cable through one of the knockouts. A cutout in the
enclosure is provided for the cell cable. The diagram below shows the location of these
connections.

Optional AQL-CHEM Chemistry Kit

Plug the connector from the AQL-CHEM into the designated connector on the Aqua
Rite Pro PCB as shown below . For detailed installation and operation information, refer
to the AQL-CHEM instructions.

If an AQL-CHEM kit will be used, take into consideration the space necessary for
mounting the unit as well as running the plumbing lines from the AQL-CHEM's probe
cell to the pool plumbing. Refer to the AQL-CHEM manual for specific mounting in-
structions.

Plumbing

Ensure that the Aqua Rite Pro installation does not constitute a cross connection with
the local potable water supply . Consult local plumbing codes.

The Aqua Rite Pro is packaged with a flow switch and cell unions. The cell must be
purchased separately . Refer to page 1 for information about available chlorinator cells.

The flow switch and cell should be plumbed in the return line to the pool/spa. The
preferred installation is after (downstream) all the pool equipment (filter, heater , solar,
etc.). The electrolytic cell and flow switch tee fitting are designed to be plumbed into 2"
(51mm) PVC pipe. Adapters (not included) can be used for systems with 1½" (38 mm)
plumbing.

For proper plumbing, refer to the overview diagram on page 13. Alternate configura-
tions #1 shows the flow switch can also be in front of the cell. Configurations #2 and #3
allow for chlorination of both the pool and spa during spa spillover operation, but
prevent overchlorination of the spa during "spa only" operation. Never use configura-
tion #4.

Flow Switch: IMPORTANT: There must be at least a 12" (25cm) straight pipe run
