The Aqua Plus is a multifunction pool controller used to fully manage your pool/spa system. The Aqua Plus can
control pumps, valves, lighting, heaters, and chlorination. Although the Aqua Plus is easy to use, it is important to
completely read through this operating manual before attempting to operate the control.
120/240V
NOTE: This manual assumes that the Aqua Plus has been wired and configured according to the Installation
Manual. Aspects of the Aqua Plus that pertain to system setup are not covered in this manual.
Automation
The Aqua Plus can control up to 4 high voltage (120/240V) pieces of equipment, up to 3 automatic valve actuators, and a conventional and solar heater. 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.
Pool/Spa Suction &
Chlorinator Cell
24V Valve
ctuators
Chlorination
With the use of the included Turbo Cell and flow switch, the Aqua Plus is also an automatic chlorine generation
system for pool and/or spa sanitization. When enabled (see Configuration Menu), this operation requires a low
concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the pool/spa water. The Aqua Plus 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 Plus 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.
For pools larger than 40,000 gallons, the Aqua Plus can control one or more Goldline Aqua Rite chlorinators to
supplement chlorine production.
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.
Default Display
Turn power on at the main panel and turn the Aqua Plus 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 circumstances, additional displays may be added to the default
menu to inform you about system operation. Refer to the Programming Menu Flowchart on page 6 to view all
possible displays. The Aqua Plus will automatically scroll through all of the available default menu displays or you
can press “<” or “>” to manually scroll.

Check System
While the main objective of the Aqua Plus 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.

Pool/Spa
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 5 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 or Variable 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. Note that if the pump has been off
for more than 30 seconds, it will run at high(est) speed for 3 minutes regardless of selection. This high speed
operation helps allow the pump to prime and establish normal water flow.
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 the preset freeze protection temperature (see
Filter Configuration), the Aqua Plus will turn on the filter pump to circulate the water.
External Input Interlock:
If enabled, this function will force the filter pump off when the external input is active. External Input Interlock will
have precedence over Freeze Protection for Filter output.
Buttons

Lights, Aux1 and Aux2 Outputs
Standard Relay: 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 the selected freeze temperature threshold.
Dimmer Relay: If Lights or an Aux output is configured as a dimmer, pressing the corresponding button will
generate a temporary display which shows the dimmer output level (Off - On 100%). Pushing the “+” or “-”
button changes the level in increments of 20%. When the desired output level is displayed, press the corresponding button again to turn off the display and return to normal operation. When the Lights or Aux output comes on
again (either manually or automatically), the dimmer output level will be the same as the last time that it was set.
External Input Interlock:
If enabled, this function will force the Lights or Aux off when the external input is active. External Input Interlock
will not have precedence over Freeze Protection for Lights and Aux outputs.
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 next to the POOL/SPA button is
illuminated. Pressing the POOL/SPA button will switch the Aqua Plus to spa-only operation (right LED illuminated). Pressing the POOL/SPA button again will switch back to pool-only. Note that the filter pump will turn off
while the pool/spa valves are turning.
Pool and Spa systems with spa spillover: In pool-only mode, the left LED next to the POOL/SPA button is
illuminated. Pressing the POOL/SPA button will switch the Aqua Plus to spa-only operation (right LED illuminated). Pressing the POOL/SPA button again will switch to spa spillover operation (both LED’s illuminated).
Pressing the POOL/SPA button again will switch back to pool-only. Note that the filter pump will turn off while the
pool/spa valves are turning.
External Input Interlock:
If enabled, this function will force the Valve off when the external input is active. External Input Interlock will not
have precedence over Freeze Protection for Valve outputs
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, and the remote display/
keypads are disabled (except for manual turn off for emergencies). The red SERVICE LED will be illuminated and
the Aqua Plus will remain in this mode of operation until manually taken out of service mode.
Pressing the SERVICE button again will cause the Aqua Plus to switch to service-timed mode which is very similar
to service mode, except that the Aqua Plus 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 Plus to normal (automatic) operation. See Troubleshooting/Diagnostic Information (page 30) for more information about the service modes.

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 both the Operation
and the 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.
The “Maintenance Menu” will be displayed only if the optional AQL-CHEM is used and the Sensing System is
enabled in the Chemistry Config. Wizard. This menu is used to perform functions relating to the AQL-CHEM ORP
and pH sensing kit.
Settings Menu
The Settings Menu allows you to set all system operating parameters except the timeclock and countdown timers
which are part of the Timers Menu.
The spa heater setting will only appear if the system has been setup for “spa only” or “pool and spa”
operation and the heater control is enabled. The heater will turn on whenever the pool/spa valves are
in the “spa only” position and the filter pump is running and the spa water temperature is less than the
desired temperature setting. If you have both solar heat and a conventional heater and the solar
priority option is selected (Configuration Menu), then the conventional heater will only operate when
solar heat is NOT available.

valves are in the “pool only” or “spa spillover” position and the filter pump is running and the pool
water temperature is less than the desired temperature setting. If you have both solar heat and a
conventional heater and the solar priority option is selected (Configuration Menu), then the
conventional heater will only operate when solar heat is NOT available.
The spa solar setting will only appear if the system has been setup for “spa only” or “pool and spa”
operation and the solar control is enabled. The solar system will turn on whenever the pool/spa
valves are in the “spa only” position and the filter pump is running and the spa water temperature is
less than the desired temperature setting and solar heat is available.

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 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.
Adjust the desired chlorinator output for spa (0,1,2,3...9,10,15,20...95,100%)
This setting will appear only if the system has been setup for “chlorinator” and “spa only” or “pool
and spa”. If an AQL-CHEM is being used, super chlorinate will not be available if chemical sensing is
enabled and ORP is in Auto Sensing (see AQL-CHEM manual). It will determine the chlorinator output
when the system is operating in spa-only mode. The actual amount of chlorine introduced into the
spa is determined by: this setting, the amount of time the pool operates in spa-only mode, the water
temperature, and the amount of salt in the water. If the filter pump is running due to the freeze
protection feature, then the chlorinator will not operate during this time.
Adjust the desired chlorinator output for pool (0,1,2,3...9,10,15,20...95,100%)
This setting will appear only if the system has been setup for “pool only” or “pool and spa”. If an
AQL-CHEM is being used, super chlorinate will not be available if chemical sensing is enabled and
ORP is in Auto Sensing (see AQL-CHEM manual). It will determine the chlorinator output when the
system is operating in pool-only or spa spillover modes. The actual amount of chlorine introduced
into the pool is determined by: this setting, the amount of time the filter pump is running, the water
temperature, and the amount of salt in the water. If the filter pump is running due to the freeze
protection feature, then the chlorinator will not operate during this time.
This setting will appear if “pool only” is not selected and variable speed filter pump is enabled. This
setting determines the speed of the pump during high speed spa operation. This value can be set from
20% to “Highest Speed” in 5% increments. “Highest Speed” is default.
This setting will appear if “pool only” is not selected and variable speed filter pump is enabled. This
setting determines the speed of the pump during low speed spa operation. This value can be set from
“Lowest Speed” to 50% in 5% increments. 50% is default.

Adjust the current day of the week
Use this function to set the current day of the week and time. These values are used for all the
automatic timeclock functions of the Aqua Plus and are also displayed as part of the default menu.
The Aqua Plus is designed to keep the clock running during power outages lasting less than 7 days.
If power has been off for longer than 7 days, then the time may have to be reset.
This function controls the backlight on the display. If the “60 seconds” option is selected, then the
backlight will automatically turn off 60 seconds after the last key is pressed and will stay off until next
time a key is pressed.
Note that the Display Light selection only applies to the display keypad that you are currently using.
Other display/keypads will not be affected. In other words, you need to individually set this option
for each display/keypad in the system.
When “Enabled”, the keypad will beep every time a key is pressed. If this audible indication is not
desired, select “Disabled”.
This function only applies to the display/keypad that you are currently using. You need to set this
option for each display/keypad in your system.
NOTE: This function is not supported on all display/keypads. If the “Enabled” selection is not
blinking, then the current software revision of that particular keypad/display does not support the
option and it will default to Beeper Enabled.
Toggle between Always On and On for 60 sec.
