System Overview

The Aqua Logic is a multifunction pool controller used to fully manage your pool/spa system. The Aqua Logic can control pumps, valves, lighting, heaters, and chlorination. Although the Aqua Logic is easy to use, it is important to completely read through this operating manual before attempting to operate the control.

NOTE: This manual assumes that the Aqua Logic has been wired and configured according to the Installation Manual. Aspects of the Aqua Logic that pertain to system setup are not covered in this manual.

Automation

The AQ-LOGIC-P-4 can control up to 4 high voltage (120/240V) pieces of equipment, up to 3 automatic valve actuators, and conventional and solar heaters. Both manual and automatic (programmed) operation are available. All of the control functions can be programmed at a display/keypad which is part of the main unit (typically located near the pool equipment) or at one or more remote display/keypads.

Chlorination

The Aqua Logic is also an automatic chlorine generation system for pool and/or spa sanitization. The operation requires a low concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the pool/spa water. The Aqua Logic automatically converts the salt into free chlorine which kills bacteria and algae in the pool/spa. 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/spa. The only time you may need to add more salt to the pool/spa is when water is replenished due to backwashing, draining, or splashing (not evaporation).

The Aqua Logic 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.

The Default Display

Turn power on at the main panel and turn the Aqua Logic control power circuit breaker on. The keypad will show the default display. The default display alternates between the day/time, air and pool (or spa) temperature, pool/spa sanitizer setting, and salt level. Under certain unusual circumstances additional displays may be added to the default menu to inform you about system operation. The Aqua Logic will automatically scroll through all of the default menu displays or you can press “<” or “>” to manually scroll.

Manual System Operation

While the main objective of the Aqua Logic is to automate the operation of your pool/spa system, there may be certain times when you want to override the automatic operation and control the equipment manually. To operate the pool equipment manually while keeping the automation active, perform the following procedures. Note that if you turn a relay on manually, it will remain on until either you turn it off manually, or the next time the programmed automatic operation would normally turn that relay off. Example: the filter pump is programmed to run from 9:00A to 5:00P daily. If you turn the filter pump on manually at 8:00PM, it will run continuously until the next day at 5:00PM at which time it will turn off and follow the normal program from then on. Manually turning off a relay works in a similar fashion.

Filter Pump

Single Speed Filter Pump: If the pump is currently off, press the FILTER button to turn on the pump. Pressing the FILTER button again will turn off the pump. However, if there is a heater in the system, and it is operating, and the “Heater Cooldown” feature is enabled (Configuration Menu) then: when you press the FILTER button to turn off the filter, only the heater will turn off, the Filter LED will flash and the display will indicate “Heater Cooldown”. At this point the filter pump will automatically turn off after 15 minutes of heater cooldown operation. If you want to override the heater cooldown, simply press the FILTER button again to turn off the filter pump.

Two Speed Filter Pump: If the pump is currently off, simply press the FILTER button to turn on high speed operation of the filter pump. The Filter LED will illuminate continuously. Pressing the FILTER button again will switch to low speed operation and the Filter LED will flash. If you attempt to switch to low speed shortly after turning on high speed the filter pump will automatically remain in high speed for 3 minutes before switching to low speed to allow the pump to prime and establish normal water flow.

Lights, Aux1, and Aux2

Manual operation of all 3 relays is identical. Assuming that the relay is currently off, simply press the appropriate button to turn on the relay. If the relay does not turn on, it probably is due to the “interlock” feature (which was set up in the Configuration Menu) being activated that requires the filter pump to be running and the valves to be in the pool-only position. This protects pumps and other equipment from possible damage. If the controlled output is on, pressing the appropriate button again will turn off the relay. Manual turn off is disabled if the “Freeze Protection” feature is enabled and the air temperature is less than 38ºF.

Pool/Spa Valves

Pool-only or spa-only systems: The POOL/SPA button has no function.

Pool and Spa systems without spa spillover: In pool-only mode (the left LED illuminated), press the

POOL/SPA button to switch to spa-only operation (right LED illuminated). Pressing the POOL/SPA button again will switch back to pool-only.

Pool and Spa systems with spa spillover: When currently in the pool-only mode (the left LED illuminated), press the POOL/SPA button to switch to spa-only operation (right LED illuminated). Press the button again to switch to spa spillover operation (both LEDs illuminated). Pressing the POOL/SPA button again will switch back to pool-only mode.

Service

The main unit keypad has a SERVICE key. This button is used primarily during servicing of the pool equipment. If you want to completely disable the automatic operation and operate the system manually, you can put the system into Service or Service-Timed mode by pressing the SERVICE button. Pressing the SERVICE button once will switch the system into service mode which means that all automatic functions are disabled, the remote display/keypads are disabled (except for manual turn off for emergencies). The red service LED will be illuminated and the Aqua Logic will remain in this mode of operation until manually taken out of service mode.

Pressing the SERVICE button again will cause the Aqua Logic to switch to service-timed mode which is very similar to service mode, except that the Aqua Logic will automatically return to normal operation after 3 hours. During service timed operation, the service LED will flash and the time remaining will be displayed on the remote display/keypad(s).

Pressing the SERVICE button again, will return the Aqua Logic to normal (automatic) operation.

See Troubleshooting/Diagnostic Information (page 21) for more information about the service modes.

Automatic System Operation

The Aqua Logic controls most of your pool equipment automatically in order to minimize the time spent working on your pool. Most of the pool equipment can be programmed to operate on a timeclock basis. In addition, the desired pool and spa temperatures and pool and spa chlorinator settings can be programmed. This section will guide you on how to program the automatic operation for each function.

The programming of automatic functions can be performed at either the main display/keypad located at the pool equipment pad or the in-home remote display/keypad.

Using the programming buttons

There are 5 buttons on each keypad that are used for programming (refer to diagram).

There are 4 steps to programming any function:

Press the “Menu” button to get to the desired menu. Multiple pushes of the button will rotate through all 5 menus and return to the starting point.

Press either key to scroll through the various items in the selected menu. Multiple pushes of the button will rotate through all menu items and return to the starting point. Only menu items that are applicable to your pool will appear. (Example: if you don’t have a spa, then no spa related menu items will appear).

Once a menu item has been selected above, the current setting/selection will appear (flashing) on the display. Use the “+” and/or “-” keys to change this selection. Sometimes “+” and “-“ will adjust a value up or down (example: heater temperature setting or timeclock on/off time) or, in other cases the “+” and “-“ may toggle between 2 options (example: turning superchlorination ON or OFF).

“+” and “-” Buttons

After you have adjusted the item to the desired value, simply move on to the next menu item to “lock in” your new setting. The Aqua Logic memory will maintain the setting, even if power is removed for an extended period.

Programming Menu Flowchart

The Aqua Logic’s five menus have many items in each menu that allow you to customize the operation of your pool/spa equipment. The chart below shows the Aqua Logic’s five menus as well as each menu’s specific settings.

The Default Menu is a series of informative displays (temperatures, salt levels, chlorinator settings, etc.) with nothing to set. The Aqua Logic will automatically switch to the default menu when no keys have been pressed for 2 minutes and will then scroll through each display.

The Settings Menu and the Timers Menu are the menus you will be using most often to adjust the operation of your pool. The Configuration Menu is used when the system is installed and defines what equipment is connected to each output and the operational logic that will control the equipment. This menu is normally “locked” and should only be used by a pool professional. Details regarding the Configuration menu are included in the Aqua Logic Installation Manual.

The “Diagnostic Menu” is primarily intended for the service technician and contains information and details about the system operation that are helpful in troubleshooting, if problems occur.

Super Chlorinate

Turn super chlorinate on or off

Move to previous/next menu item

When you have an unusually high bather load, a large amount of rain, a cloudy water condition, or any other condition that requires a large amount of chlorine to be introduced to the pool, activate the Aqua Logic Super-Chlorinate function. The Aqua Logic will turn on the filter pump, set the pool/spa valves to the correct position, and set the chlorine generator to maximum output. The superchlorinate function will continue for the programmed number of hours (see Timers/Super Chlorinate Hours below) overriding the normal filter pump timeclock settings. At the end of the super chlorinate period, the pool will return to normal operation.

If there is a programmed period of spa operation (see Timers Menu/Spa below), then the super chlorinate function will be temporarily suspended for the spa operation. At the end of the spa operation, super chlorinate will resume for the remaining number of hours.

If you manually turn off the filter pump (using the “Filter” button on any display/keypad), the super chlorinate function terminates. When you turn the filter pump back on, super chlorinate will resume for the balance of the programmed number of hours.

Timers Menu

The Timers Menu allow you to set all timeclock and countdown timers which control the automatic operation of your pool/spa system.

Each timeclock has a single on/off program per day. All of the timeclocks are setup (Configuration Menu) either as “all days” or “weekends/weekdays”. If “weekends/weekdays” are selected, you will need to program on times for both weekdays and weekends and off times for both weekdays and weekends, even if you want them to be the same. All times are adjusted in 15 minute increments (9:00A, 9:15A, 9:30A, etc). If you program the on time equal to the off time (“10:00A to 10:00A”) the output will NEVER turn on. If you want to disable a timeclock, you can set the times equal as noted above or you can adjust the on time between 11:45P and 12:00A (23:45 and 00:00) and you will notice the times disappear and the display simply shows “Off”. If, at a later time, you wish to re-activate the timeclock, simply press either the “+” or “-“ buttons to go back to a normal timeclock programming display.

The Countdown timer is programmed in increments of 5 minutes from “0:00” to a maximum of “21:00”. When “0:00” is programmed, the countdown timer is disabled and the output will be manually controlled. When a countdown timer is greater than “0:00”, pressing the appropriate output button will turn the output on and start the timer. When the programmed time has elapsed, the output will automatically turn off.

This will determine the normal hours of filtration for the pool. For pool/spa combination systems with spillover enabled, the valves will automatically switch to spillover mode at the start of the filtration period. For all other systems, the valves will switch to the pool-only position. Refer to page 8 for general notes regarding timeclock programming.

If you have a 2-speed pump, this setting will be the period of time when the pump runs at high speed. There is a separate timeclock for the low speed operation (see below). If the high speed and low speed periods overlap, then the pump will operate in low speed during the overlap period.

There are several reasons the filter pump may be running at times other than the timeclock period set above. These include super-chlorination, spa operation, manual operation, heater cooldown, freeze protection and “solar-extend”.

This menu item is only available if you have a 2-speed pump (Configuration Menu). This timeclock will set the normal time period for filter pump low speed operation. If the filter pump was off prior to the start of this time period, the filter pump will first turn on at high speed for 3 minutes to prime and establish water flow. Afterwards, it will drop down to low speed for the remainder of the programmed low speed time period. While this time clock will override the high speed timeclock (see above), there are several reasons why the pump will automatically switch to high speed operation during this programmed time period. These include manual operation, spa operation, or solar heating operation. Refer to page 9 for general notes regarding timeclock programming.

Configuration Menu

The Aqua Logic MUST BE CONFIGURED before attempting to operate. Configuration information is entered at the keypad and “tells” the Aqua Logic what equipment is connected and how each should be controlled.

CAUTION: When changing an existing configuration, it is important to understand how the pool

system operates and what specific equipment is connected to each output. Incorrect settings in the configuration menu could lead to damaged equipment and improper operation of the pool system.

Accessing the Configuration Menu

Configuring the Aqua Logic requires that you navigate through the Configuration Menu and input various information.

For 2-speed pumps: When a 2-speed pump is configured, either the AUX1 or AUX2 relays must also be configured to control the low speed motor winding on the pump . CAUTION: Incorrect programming may result in pump damage--consult with a pool professional before making any changes.

Freeze Protection

Freeze protection is used to protect the pool and plumbed equipment against freeze damage. If freeze protection is enabled and the AIR temperature sensor falls below 38°F, the Aqua Logic will turn on the filter pump to circulate the water. If “Pool and Spa” is selected in the Pool/Spa sub-menu (see page 20), the valves will also alternate between the pool and spa every 30 minutes.

Heater 1

If the heater is “Enabled”, the heater relay will turn on when the water temperature is less than the desired temperature setting and the filter pump is running. The desired temperature is in the “Settings Menu”. If applicable, the homeowner will be prompted to enter separate “pool” and “spa” settings. Depending on the position of the pool/spa suction valve, the proper temperature setting will be used.

Heater Cooldown

This feature ensures that the heater cools down before water circulation is stopped. When enabled, The Aqua Logic will continue to run the filter pump for 15 minutes after the heater turns off. During this period the filter pump LED will flash and also a “Heater Cooldown, Filter Pump On’ message will scroll on the display.

When the filter pump is running and the heater is on: Pressing the “Filter” button once will cause the heater to turn off, but the filter pump will continue to run for heater cooldown (filter LED flashing and message on display). Pushing the filter button a second time will override the heater cooldown operation and turn the filter pump off.

Heater Extend

If “Enabled”, the filter extend logic keeps the filter pump running beyond the normal turn-off time if heat is still available. When heat is no longer available, both the valve/pump and filter pump will turn off simultaneously. Heater extend will NOT cause the filter pump to turn on, it will only delay the turn off time when the heater is operating.

Solar

If the solar control logic is “Enabled”, several additional steps must be taken to ensure proper operation of the solar system. If the solar is operated by a valve, then the Valve3 output must be setup for solar logic (page 22). If the solar is operated by a pump, then either the AUX1 or AUX2 relay must be set up for solar logic (page 21).

Also, the “solar” temperature sensor must be installed. This sensor is typically mounted near the collector array and is used to sense whether sufficient solar heat is available.

If solar is “Enabled”, the valve or solar pump relay will turn on when the water temperature is less than the desired temperature setting AND the solar sensor is hotter than the water. The desired temperature is in the “Settings Menu”. If applicable, the homeowner will be prompted to enter separate pool and spa desired temperature settings. Depending on the position of the pool/spa suction valve, the proper temperature setting will be used.

Solar Extend

If “Enabled”, the filter extend logic keeps the filter pump running beyond the normal turn-off time if solar heat is still available. When solar heat is no longer available, both the solar valve/pump and filter pump will turn off simultaneously. Solar extend will NOT cause the filter pump to turn on, it will only delay the turn off time when solar is operating.

Solar Priority

If both “Solar Control” and “Heater Control” are enabled, the Solar Priority feature will keep the conventional heater off whenever solar heat is available. This provides the most cost effective way of heating the pool. When solar heat is not available, the conventional heater will operate normally.

Pool/Spa Setup

If “Pool Only” or “Spa Only” are selected then the pool/spa valves are deactivated and pushing the POOL/SPA button on the display/keypad will have no effect. If “Pool and Spa” is selected, then the pool/spa suction and return valve actuators should be connected to the Aqua Logic. Pressing the POOL/SPA button on the display/key pad will allow the homeowner to alternate between pool and spa operation.

Spa Spillover

When spa spillover is “Enabled”, the homeowner will be able to rotate through “Pool Only” (both suction and return valves switched to pool), “Spa Only” (both suction and return valves switched to spa) and “Spillover” (suction valve switched to pool and return valve switched to spa) by successive presses of the “Pool/Spa) button.

Filter Operation

If “Spa Spillover” is selected, the Aqua Logic will automatically switch the pool/spa suction valves to the “spillover” at the time of the programmed pool filtering time period or when the super-chlorinate function is turned on. The valves will remain in this position for the remainder of the super-chlorinate period. This option is usually preferable because both the pool and spa water will be filtered and sanitized. If “Pool Only” is selected, then the Aqua Logic will switch the pool/spa valves to the “pool only” position during super chlorinate. This may be desirable on some systems with in-floor cleaners because it allows the cleaner to operate all the time the pool is being filtered and/or the super chlorinate is running.

Aux1 Function (Aux2 Function)

Manual On/Off (default)—the aux relay will alternate between turning on and off when the aux button is pressed. There is no automatic control logic.

Countdown Timer – the aux relay will turn on when the aux button is pressed and then will turn off automatically after a programmed time (see Timers Menu in the Operations Manual). The aux button can also be used to turn the output off. This function is typically used to control spa jets where they can be turned on with the press of a button and then they will turn off automatically at a later time.

Timeclock – the aux relay will turn-on and turn-off at the times set for the aux1 (aux2) timeclock in the Timers Menu (see Operations Manual).

Solar – the aux relay operates a solar booster pump which will turn on when the filter pump in running and solar heat is available and the water is less than the desired temperature setting. It is important to note that “Solar Control” must be enabled in the “Solar Config.” menu for proper operation to occur. Low Speed of a 2-speed Filter Pump – the Aqua Logic will operate the aux relay whenever the low speed operation of the filter pump is required. It is very important that the “2-speed” filter pump option be selected under the “Filter Config.” Menu for proper operation.

Aux1 Interlock (Aux2 Interlock)

If “Enabled”, this feature will override the function (manual on/off, countdown timer, timeclock, selected above and turn the aux1 or aux2 relay off. This forced off condition occurs when: filter pump is off, first 3 minutes of filter pump operation (allows the pump to prime and get water flowing), when the pool/spa suction return valves are in any position other than “pool only”, for 3 minutes after solar turns on (allows air in the solar panels to be purged). Interlock is not available for solar or lowspeed filter pump functions.

Aux1 Freeze Protection (Aux2 Freeze Protection)

This function protects the pool, plumbing, and equipment against freeze damage. If Freeze Protection is enabled and the AIR temperature sensor falls below 38°F, the Aqua Logic will turn on the aux relay to circulate the water. IMPORTANT: this only enables operation of the AUX output during freeze--see the “Filter Pump Config.” menu to enable freeze protection for the main circulation system.

Timeclock – the valve turns on/off at the times set for the Valve3 timeclock in the Timers Menu (see Operations Manual).

Solar (default) – the valve operates when the filter pump is running and solar heat is available and the water is less than the desired temperature setting. Solar heating must be enabled in the “Solar Config. menu for proper operation to occur.

In-Floor Cleaner – the valve switches the water returning to the pool between the in-floor cleaner and the normal return jets which facilitate efficient surface skimming. The valve will operate the in-floor cleaner for the first half of each clock hour and then switch to the jets/ skimming for the last half of the hour.

Valve3 Interlock

If “Enabled”, this feature will override the function (timeclock, or in-floor cleaner) selected above and turn the valve off whenever the filter pump is off or the pool/spa suction/return valves are set to “spa only” or “spillover” operation. Interlock is not available with solar.

Quick “How To” Guide

Operate the Spa—manually

1. Press the “Pool/Spa” button to go to “spa-only” operation (right LED illuminated). In some cases, this may take more than one press of the button.

2. If the filter pump is not already on, press the “Filter” button to turn it on.

3. If the spa is below the desired temperature, the heater will turn on automatically when the filter pump is on and the valves are in the spa-only position. If you have not already set the desired temperature for the spa, see “Set Heater Temperature” below

4. If the spa has a separate jet pump and or blower, determine if the jet pump/blower is controlled by Aux1 or Aux2 (it should be marked on the label inside the door). Then press either the appropriate button to turn on the jets/blower.

Operate the Spa—automatically

1. Press the “Menu” button repeatedly until “Timers Menu” is displayed

2. Press the “>” button repeatedly until the “Spa—all days” or “Spa—weekends” is displayed.

3. Use the “+” and “-“ buttons to set the desired start time, then press “>” to switch to the off time. Use the “+” and “-“ buttons to adjust the off time. If you are setting the “weekend” timeclock, press “>” to go to the “weekday” settings.

Note: During the programmed spa time, the valves will automatically switch to the “spa-only” position, the filter pump will turn on, and, if the spa is not up to the desired temperature, the heater will start. This operation is the highest priority and will take precedence over other automatically programmed operations. At the end of the spa period, the Aqua Logic will return to its normally programmed operation state.

Set the Heater Temperature (or turn heater permanently off)

1. Press the “Menu” button repeatedly until “Settings Menu” is displayed

2. Press the “>” button repeatedly until the “Spa Heater” or “Pool Heater” is displayed.

3. Press the “+” or “-“ buttons repeatedly to adjust the temperature. If you adjust the temperature below 65ºF or above 104°F the display will indicate “off” and the heater will not operate regardless of temperature.

Note: Separate temperatures for the pool and spa must be set. If the valves are in the pool-only or spa spillover positions, then the heater will use the pool setting. If the valves are in the spa-only position then the heater will operate according to the spa setting.

Set the Chlorinator Output

1. Press the “Menu” button repeatedly until “Settings Menu” is displayed

2. Press the “>” button repeatedly until the “Spa Chlorinator” or “Pool Chlorinator” is displayed.

3. Press the “+” or “-“ buttons repeatedly to adjust the setting. If you adjust the setting to 0% the

chlorinator will be off all the time

Note: Separate chlorinator output levels for the pool and spa must be set. If the valves are in the pool-only or spa spillover positions, then the chlorinator will operate per the pool setting. If the valves are in the spa-only position then the chlorinator will operate according to the spa setting. The actual amount of chlorine introduced into the pool/spa is determined by: this output setting, the amount of time the filter pump is running, the water temperature, and the amount of salt in the water. Also see Start/Stop Supechlorination below.

Start/Stop Superchlorination

1. Press the “Menu” button repeatedly until “Settings Menu” is displayed

2. Press the “>” button repeatedly until the “Super Chlorinate” is displayed.

3. The display will show whether superchlorination is “on” or “off”.

4. Press “+” or “-“ to toggle between “on” and “off”

Note: Once started, superchlorination will run for the programmed number of hours (Timers Menu/Super Chlorinate Hours) or until you manually turn it off. Superchlorination may be temporarily interrupted for a programmed spa operation.

Program a Timeclock

1. Press the “Menu” button repeatedly until “Timers Menu” is displayed

2. Press the “>” button repeatedly until the “xxx—all days” or “xxx—weekends” is displayed.

Note: During the programmed time, there may be other automatic or manual operations that prevent the relay/valve from operating—see a more detailed discussion under Automatic System Operation/Timers Menu/Aux Timeclock or in Troubleshooting/Diagnostic Information.

Program a Countdown Timer

1. Press the “Menu” button repeatedly until “Timers Menu” is displayed

2. Press the “>” button repeatedly until the “xxx—countdown” is displayed.

3. Use the “+” and “-“ buttons to set the desired timer period.

Note: A setting of 0:00 will display as “manual on/off.” The countdown automatic turn off function is disabled by manual operation is still permitted. There may be other automatic or manual operations that prevent the relay/valve from operating—see a more detailed discussion under Automatic System Operation/Timers Menu/Aux Timeclock or in Troubleshooting/Diagnostic Information.

Enter/Exit Service (or Service—Timed) mode

1. Go to Aqua Logic main unit (normally mounted near the pool equipment)

2. Pressing the “Service” button rotates through normal operation (red LED off), service mode (red LED on continuously) and service-timed mode (red LED flashing).

Note: This operation can only be performed at the main Aqua Logic unit. Both “Service” and “Service-Timed” disable all automatic programmed operations and allow manual operation from the main unit only. The buttons on the remote display/keypads will still be able to turn equipment off in case of an emergency, but will not turn any equipment on. If the system is in “Serviced-Timed” it will automatically switch back to normal operation at the end of the time period.

Chlorinator Operation / Pool 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. 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 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 Logic 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.

Si = pH + Ti + Ci + Ai - 12.

ºC ºF Ti

103

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

Salt Level

Use the chart on page 18 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.

Liters

Rectangular

Round

Oval

Gallons

(pool size in feet)

Length x Width x Average Depth x 7.5

Diameter x Diameter x Average Depth x 5.9

Length x Width x Average Depth x 6.7

(pool size in meters)

Length x Width x Average Depth x 1000

Diameter x Diameter x Average Depth x 785

Length x Width x Average Depth x 893

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 18. A low salt level will reduce the efficiency of the Aqua Logic and result in low chlorine production. 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.

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 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 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.

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 20 to determine how much stabilizer must be added to raise the level to 80 PPM.

System Maintenance

To maintain maximum performance, it is recommended that you open and visually inspect the cell every 3 months or after cleaning your filter. The Aqua Logic will remind you to do this by displaying the message “Inspect/Clean Cell” after approximately 500 hours of operation.

The Aqua Logic electrolytic cell has a self cleaning feature incorporated into the electronic control’s logic. In most cases this self cleaning action will keep the cell working at optimum efficiency. In areas where water is hard (high mineral content) or in pools where the water chemistry has been allowed to get “out of balance”, the cell may require periodic cleaning.

Servicing and Cleaning the Aqua Logic cell

Turn off power to the Aqua Logic before removing the electrolytic cell. Once removed, look inside the cell and inspect for scale formation (light colored crusty or flaky deposits) on the plates and for any debris which has passed through the filter and caught on the plates. If no deposits are visible, reinstall. If deposits are seen, use a high pressure garden hose and try to flush the scale off. If this is not successful, use a plastic or wood tool (do not use metal as this will scratch the coating off the plates) and scrape deposits off of plates. Note that a buildup on the cell indicates that there is an unusually high calcium level in the pool (old pool water is usually the cause). If this is not corrected, you may to have to periodically clean the cell. The simplest way to avoid this is to bring the pool chemistry to the recommended levels as specified.

Mild Acid Washing: Use only in severe cases where flushing and scraping will not remove the majority of deposits. To acid wash, turn off power to Aqua Logic. Remove cell from piping. In a clean plastic container, mix a 2:1 solution of water to muriatic acid (one gallon of water to two quarts of muriatic acid). ALWAYS ADD ACID TO WATER - NEVER ADD WATER TO ACID. Be sure to wear rubber gloves and appropriate eye protection. The level of the solution in the container should just reach the top of the cell so that the wire harness compartment is NOT submerged. It may be helpful to coil the wiring before immersing the cell. The cell should soak for a few minutes and then rinse with a high pressure garden hose. If any deposits are still visible, repeat soaking and rinsing. Replace cell and inspect again periodically.

Winterizing

The Aqua Logic electrolytic cell and flow detection switch will be damaged by freezing water just as your pool plumbing would. In areas of the country which experience severe or extended periods of freezing temperatures, be sure to drain all water from the pump, filter, and supply and return lines before any freezing conditions occur. The electronic control is capable of withstanding any winter weather and should not be removed.

If you are in an area that only experiences occasional freezing conditions, your Aqua Logic system may be set up to circulate the pool water whenever the air sensor drops to 38ºF. Make sure the air sensor is recording the correct temperature and is NOT located in the direct sunlight to ensure proper freeze protection operation.

Spring Start-up

When first starting the pool in the spring time, it is highly recommended that you temporarily set the pool and spa chlorinator settings (Settings Menu/Pool Sanitizer & Spa Sanitizer) to 0% (off) and then manually shock the pool with any chlorine based shock product and balance the pool water chemistry per the levels indicated in the Chlorinator Operation section (page 16). Make sure to check the salt and stabilizer levels and bring them up to the recommended levels. Your local Authorized Aqua Dealer or pool store can recommend the best chemical treatment for your pool. After the water is clear and balanced, then go back and adjust the pool and spa chlorinator settings to the appropriate levels. Test the pool chlorine level weekly and adjust the chlorinator settings up or down accordingly.

It is usually a good idea to also inspect the cell and clean if necessary at the start of the season. See instructions above.

Troubleshooting and Diagnostic Information

The Aqua Logic provides 2 different tools to aid in troubleshooting any problems that may occur in your pool and/or spa system. The Service mode will allow you to disable automatic operation and manually control most of the equipment (the heater and general purpose Valve3 output are the exceptions). The Diagnostic Menu will provide some detailed information regarding system operation.

While both of the features are primarily intended for the use of the professional service technician, their function is fully explained below. If you believe your system is not operating properly or have questions regarding the operation, call the Goldline Technical Service Dept. from Monday through Friday, 8AM to 8PM EST at 888-9221-7665.

Service Mode

The main unit keypad has a SERVICE button that is used primarily during servicing of the pool equipment.

If you want to completely disable the automatic operation and operate the system manually, you can put the system into Service or Service-Timed mode by pressing the “Service” button. Pressing the “Service” button once will switch the system into service mode which means that all automatic functions are disabled, the optional remote display/keypads are disabled (except for manual turn off for emergencies). The outputs can be manually controlled by pressing the buttons on the local display/keypad. The red service LED will be illuminated and the Aqua Logic will remain in this mode of operation until manually taken out of service mode.

Pressing the “Service” button again will cause the Aqua Logic to switch to service-timed mode which is very similar to service mode, except that the Aqua Logic will automatically return to normal operation after 3 hours. During service timed operation, the service LED will flash and the time remaining will be displayed on the remote display/keypad(s).

Pressing the “Service” button again, will return the Aqua Logic to normal (automatic) operation.

Check System Indicator

The “Check System” LED will alert you when the Aqua Logic detects conditions that are abnormal and require attention for optimal operation of your pool. The following conditions will cause the “Check System” LED to illuminate:

• Inspect Cell—for optimum operation, you will need to inspect the Aqua Logic chlorinator cell approximately every 3 months and clean the cell if necessary. The Aqua Logic 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, pg 20) and then press the “+” button during the “Inspect Cell” display to reset the timer.

• Low Salt—when the salt is too low the Aqua Logic will generate less chlorine and the life of the cell is degraded. Check the cell and clean if necessary (see instructions, pg 20) before adding salt (see instructions, pg 17).

• High Salt—the Aqua Logic will stop generating chlorine under certain high salt conditions in order to protect the internal electronics from damage. The only way to lower the salt level is to partially drain the pool and add fresh water.

• Water Sensor—if the water sensor is either an open or short circuit.

• Air sensor—if the freeze protection feature is enabled (Configuration Menu / Filter Config.) and the air sensor is either an open or short circuit

• Solar sensor-if the solar control feature is enabled (Configuration Menu / Solar Config.) and the solar sensor is either an open or short circuit.

For helpful troubleshooting information on any of these issues, go to the Diagnostic Menu and then scroll through the various items until you see the cause for the “Check System” LED being illuminated.

Diagnostic Menu

To enter the Diagnostic Menu, press the “Menu” button repeatedly until the display shows “Diagnostic Menu”. At this point, you can use either the “<” or “>” buttons to scroll through the various menu items which are described below:

Set Day and Time

Press to switch chlorinator operation to opposite polarity (15 second delay)

Move to previous/next menu item

+/- 23.45V is the voltage applied to the chlorinator cell +/-6.75A is the current (amps) through the cell 84ºF is the water temperature at the cell 3200PPM is the “instant” salt level at this time

For the chlorinator to be operating, several other things must be happening: the filter pump must be running, the flow switch must be detecting flow, the chlorinator setting must be set greater than 0%, the water temperature at the cell must be between 50ºF and 140ºF, and the salt level must be within the operating range. If any of these conditions are not met, the chlorinator diagnostic display will tell you the reason. It’s possible to have more than one reason, in which case after you rectify what was displayed the first time, a second display will appear.

If the current (amps) display is 0.00A, then the chlorinator is operating normally but is in the off part of its normal operating cycle. Simply press either the “+” or “-“ key to start a new cycle. The Aqua Logic periodically reverses the polarity of the voltage applied to the cell in order to automatically clean off any calcium deposits. It is important that you check the chlorinator operation in both polarities. To do this, press either the “+” or “-“ buttons and the chlorinator will turn off, wait for 15 seconds and then turn on in the opposite polarity.

If a conventional or solar heater is operating, it is likely that the temperature of the water at the cell is higher than the pool/spa water temperature displayed on the Aqua Logic default display.

Instant Salt

Move to previous/next menu item

The “instant salt” is calculated based on the voltage, current (amps), and water temperature at the cell. This is different than the “average salt” value which is displayed as part of the default menu. There are a number of reasons why instant and average salt readings may differ. Some of these include salt having just been added to the pool and not yet thoroughly mixed, calcium buildup on the cell, and the cell aging.

If the sensor appears to operating properly, then the temperature will be displayed. If this temperature is not correct then check the placement of the sensor. If the problem is not placement related, then the sensor will, most likely, require replacement. If the display is “Open Circuit” or “Short Circuit” then check the wiring to the sensor and also make sure that the wires are secure in the terminal block in the Aqua Logic main unit. Note that the solar sensor is displayed only when the solar function is enabled (configuration menu).
