NOTE: This manual assumes that the SwimPure Plus with Controls has been wired and configured according to the Installation Manual. Aspects of the SwimPure Plus with Controls that pertain to system setup are not covered inthismanual.

Automation

The SwimPure Plus with Controls 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.

Chlorination

With the use of the included Turbo Cell and flow switch, the Swimpure Plus with Controls 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 Swimpure Plus with Controls 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).

This display will be shown only if sensing is enabled. This display shows both pH and ORP levels/ status when chemistry sensing is enabled via the Chemistry Configuration Wizard (requires the use of AQL-CHEM Sensing Kit). The SwimPure Plus with Controls will refer to these levels to determine how much chlorine to generate (ORP) and, if using an AQL-CHEM2 dispense kit, how much CO2 or acid to dispense (pH). Refer to the AQL-CHEM manual for specific information about these levels as well as the recommended ranges.

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 SwimPure Plus with Controls main unit.

•ORP Low - Check Chlor -- If an ORP level of 350mV or less is detected. Check the chlorinator for proper operation.

•ORP High - Check Chlor -- If an ORP level of 950mV or higher is detected. Check the chlorinator for proper operation.

•ORP High - Chlor Off -- If an ORP level of 950mV or higher is detected and the chlorine feed mode is ORP Auto Sensing, the chlorinator has been turned off. Check the chlorinator for proper operation.

•ORP Timeout -Chlor Off -- If the unit has been chlorinating for more than the selected sanitizer timeout without reaching the desired level, the chlorinator has been turned off. Press the “+” button to reset the alarm and resume chlorination.

•Ambient Sensor -- If the SwimPure Plus with Controls internal temperature 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:

+23.45 +6.75A 84°F 3200PPM

Instant Salt

3200 PPM (+=save)

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

This display will be shown only if the chlorinator is enabled. 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 SwimPure Plus with Controls 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 SwimPure Plus with Controls default

display.

Press to load the “Instant Salt” into the averaged salt display

Move to previous/next menu item

This display will be shown only if the chlorinator is enabled. This display shows “Instant Salt” or “Instant Minerals” (if Chlor. Config. is set for “Display Minerals”). 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.

The SwimPure Plus with Controls 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 SwimPure Plus with Controls can control one or more HaywardAqua 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 SwimPure Plus with Controls 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 SwimPure Plus with Controls will automatically scroll through all of the available default menu displays or you can press “<” or “>” to manually scroll.

Manual System Operation

While the main objective of the SwimPure Plus with Controls 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 9:00Ato 5:00Pdaily. 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.

Buttons

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 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.

Variable Speed Filter Pump: If the pump is currently off, press the “FILTER” button to turn the filter pump on to the last speed (1, 2, 3, or 4) that was used.Atemporary display is generated indicating the current speed selection (Filter On:Spd 1). Pushing the “+” or “-” button changes the speed selection. If the pump has been off for more than 30 seconds, it will run at the highest 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 SwimPure Plus with Controls 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.
