if AQL-CHEM is used

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

Move to previous/next menu item

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.

No function Move to previous/next menu item

This display will be shown only if the chlorinator is enabled. The current status of the flow switch is displayed. There is a short delay when transitioning from flow to no-flow and a longer delay on the transition from no-flow to flow. The delay time is displayed.

Move to previous/next menu item

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.

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 in this manual.

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).

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

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.

• 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:

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

+/- 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 pools larger than 40,000 gallons, the SwimPure Plus with Controls can control one or more Hayward 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 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.

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.

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.

Check System

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 9:00A 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 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. A temporary 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.

Troubleshooting and Diagnostic Information

The SwimPure Plus with Controls 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 Hayward Technical Service Department from Monday through Friday, 8AM to 8PM EST at 888921-7665.

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 SwimPure Plus with Controls will remain in this mode of operation until manually taken out of service mode.

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.

VSP Relay: This selection is used to configure a Lights/Aux output to supply power and control a Hayward Variable Speed pump (VSP).

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.

Pressing the “SERVICE” button again will cause the SwimPure Plus with Controls to switch to service-timed mode which is very similar to service mode, except that the SwimPure Plus with Controls 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 SwimPure Plus with Controls to normal (automatic) operation.

Check System Indicator

The “CHECK SYSTEM” LED will alert you when the SwimPure Plus with Controls 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 SwimPure Plus with Controls chlorinator cell approximately every 3 months and clean the cell if necessary. The SwimPure Plus with Controls 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 30) and then press the “+” button during the “Inspect Cell” display to reset the timer.

• Low Salt/Minerals or Very Low Salt/Minerals -- When the salt is too low the SwimPure Plus with Controls will generate less chlorine and the life of the cell is degraded. Check the cell and clean if necessary before adding salt.

• High Salt/Amps/Minerals -- The SwimPure Plus with Controls 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 sensor is either an open or short circuit.

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 SwimPure Plus with Controls 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 SwimPure Plus with Controls 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 SwimPure Plus with Controls will remain in this mode of operation until manually taken out of service mode.

Pressing the SERVICE button again will cause the SwimPure Plus with Controls to switch to service-timed mode which is very similar to service mode, except that the SwimPure Plus with Controls 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 SwimPure Plus with Controls to normal (automatic) operation. See Troubleshooting/Diagnostic Information (page 30) for more information about the service modes.

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.

Turn off power to the SwimPure Plus with Controls 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 SwimPure Plus with Controls. 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.

There are 4 steps to programming any function:

3. Once a menu item has been selected above, the current setting/selection will appear (flashing)

Press the “MENU” button to get to the desired menu. Multiple pushes of the button will rotate through all 6 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).

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). In this case, pushing the “+” or “-” will change the value by one increment and holding the “+” or “-” button in for more than one second will make the values auto scroll. In other cases, the “+” and “-“ may toggle between 2 options (example: turning superchlorination ON or OFF).

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 SwimPure Plus with Controls memory will maintain the setting, even if power is removed for an extended period.

Winterizing

The SwimPure Plus with Controls 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 SwimPure Plus with Controls system may be set up to circulate the pool water whenever the air sensor drops to the selected freeze temperature threshold. 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 (Pool Sanitizer & Spa Sanitizer in the Settings Menu) 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 26). 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.

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.

Adjust the desired pool temperature (Off, 65°F, 66°F, ...103°F, 104°F, Off)

The pool heater setting will only appear if the system has been setup for “pool 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 “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 pool’s chemistry must be balanced BEFORE activating the SwimPure Plus with Controls’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 SwimPure Plus with Controls system.

Salt (When using optional chlorinator function)

Salt Level

Use the chart on the following page to determine how much salt in pounds or (Kgs) should 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 Filter and up to 3 Lights and Aux outputs can be configured to control variable speed pumps. These settings allow you to select the desired speed of the variable speed pump for each output used. The speed can be displayed in % or RPM, whichever is selected in the Configuration Menu. When the Filter output is on, the actual speed of the pump(s) will be dependent on the minimum and maximum speeds set for that output in the Configuration Menu.

Turn super chlorinate on or off Move to previous/next menu item

This display only appears if the chlorinator function is enabled. 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 AQLCHEM manual).

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 chlorine added to the pool over time has ended 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 SwimPure Plus with Controls 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 99.0% pure. This can be found at most pool stores in 40-80 lb. bags labeled “for use in swimming pools”. Alternatively, use common food quality or water softener salt that is at least 99.0% pure. 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. 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.

Always check stabilizer (cyanuric acid), when checking salt. These levels will most likely decline together. Use the

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 SwimPure Plus with Controls Super-Chlorinate function. The SwimPure Plus with Controls 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 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.

Chlorinator Operation / Water Chemistry

General Water Chemistry

Salt is required only if you are using the chlorinator features on the SwimPure Plus with Controls 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 SwimPure Plus with Controls configuration menu for information on enabling/ disabling the chlorinator (see page 13).

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 SwimPure Plus with Controls and are also displayed as part of the default menu.

The SwimPure Plus with Controls 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.

Toggle between Always On and On for 60 sec.

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.

Enabled (default) and Disabled Beeper

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.

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 SwimPure Plus with Controls 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.

Push to start process

Press any button on wireless remote

This menu will only appear if a wireless base station is connected to the SwimPure Plus with Controls. Perform this procedure each time a wireless remote control is added to the SwimPure Plus with Controls system. During this procedure the wireless remote “learns” and remembers the ID code for the wireless base station connected to this particular SwimPure Plus with Controls unit and will reject messages with any other ID codes. If “Base NOT found” is displayed, then the SwimPure Plus with Controls can not communicate with the transmitter/receiver base station attached to the main unit. If “NOT Successful” is displayed, then the base station did not receive a signal from the remote control. This may be due to the distance between the Base Receiver and the remote device being too great or may be due to interference caused by other RF equipment operating in the neighborhood. Try changing the channel and then repeat the “Teach Wireless” command.

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

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 according 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 Superchlorination.

Start/Stop Superchlorination

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

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

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

This setting changes the channel to be used by the wireless base station and remote(s). If the channel is changed and confirmed, all of the wireless remotes will have to be retaught. This menu will only

appear if a wireless base station is connected to the SwimPure Plus with Controls.

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 “xxx—all” or “xxx—wkend” (where xxx is the parameter that you want to program) 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 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

Timers Menu

The Timers Menu allows 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 on time equal to the off time 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 “Manual On/Off” (0 minutes) to a maximum of “21:00” (21 hours). When “Manual On/Off” is displayed, the countdown timer is disabled and the output will be manually controlled. When a countdown timer is equal or greater than “0:05”, pressing the appropriate output button will turn the output on and start the timer. Pressing the button again will turn the output off or, when the programmed time has elapsed, the output will automatically turn off.

2. Press the “>” button repeatedly until the “xxx—Timer” (where xxx is the parameter that you want to program) 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 but 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 SwimPure Plus with Controls 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 SwimPure Plus with Controls 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 3 hour time period.

Quick “How To” Guide

Move between start and stop times & to previous/next menu item

For one speed pumps, this is the first filter timeclock and 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.

For two speed, this setting will be the period of time when the pump runs at high speed (the word “Filter T1” in the display will be replaced with “Filter Hi”). There is a separate timeclock for the low speed operation (see “Filter T2” below). If the high speed and low speed periods overlap, then the pump will operate in low speed during the overlap period.

For a variable speed pump, this setting will be the period of time when the pump will run at the speed selected for speed1 in the settings menu. If there is an overlap in any of the timeclocks, then the lower number timeclock/speed has priority.

Depending on the type of filter pump used, there are several reasons why the 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, heater-extend and solar-extend. For variable speed pumps, when there is more than one reason for the pump to run, the speed priority in order from highest to lowest is priming (first 3 minutes after filter has been turned on), freeze protection, group, heater minimum, aux/valve override, spa mode, speed1, speed2, speed3, speed4. Note that the reason

for the current speed is shown in the Default Menu.

Move between start and stop times & to previous/next menu item

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 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” or “Spa—wkend” is displayed.

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 SwimPure Plus with Controls will return to its normally programmed operation state.

NOTE: The third and forth filter timeclocks function similarly to the first and second (respectively). Program these timeclocks in the same manner.

Move between start and stop times & to previous/next menu item

For one speed pumps, this is the second filter timeclock

For two speed pumps, this timeclock will set the normal time period for filter pump low speed operation (the word “Filter T2” in the display will be replaced with “Filter L1”). 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 heating operation. Refer to page 10 for general notes regarding timeclock programming.

For a variable speed pump, this setting will be the period of time when the pump will run at the speed selected for speed2 in the settings menu. If there is an overlap in any of the timeclocks, then the lower number timeclock/speed has priority.

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 Heater1” or “Pool Heater1” 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 spaonly 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: After the ideal setting has been found, you may need to raise the setting when the pool water temperature increases significantly, when there is higher than normal bather load or when your chlorinator cell ages. You may need to lower the setting when the pool water temperature decreases significantly or there are long periods of inactivity.

The Swimpure Plus with Controls is shipped with the chlorinator enabled. The cell and flow switch must be installed and the Swimpure Plus with Controls will automatically chlorinate both the pool and spa according to the desired output setting (see Settings Menu in the Operation manual). If disabled, all displays relating to the chlorinator will be suppressed.

When the chlorinator is enabled, the Swimpure Plus with Controls will automatically detect and control any Aqua Rite(s) that is installed in the system.

Display

Allows for the display of salt (default) or mineral values.

Cell Type Selection

The Cell Type Menu appears after “Display Salt/Minerals” in the Chlorinator Configuration Menu. The options are T-CELL-15 (default), T-CELL-9, T-CELL5 or T-CELL-3. Make the proper selection based on the chlorinator cell that is used in your system (the Swimpure Plus with Controls includes the T-CELL-15). Refer to the information below.

"T-CELL-3" = T-CELL-3, GLX-CELL-3-W "T-CELL-5" = GLX-CELL-5, GLX-CELL-5-W "T-CELL-9" = T-CELL-9, GLX-CELL-9-W "T-CELL-15" = T-CELL-15, GLX-CELL-15-W

Press to access Chemistry Config. Wizard

Chemistry Configuration Wizard

Requires use of the optional AQL-CHEM Sensing Kit. Following the steps of the Chemistry Config. Wizard will set up the AQL-CHEM to sense ORP and pH levels and, if chlorination is used, can configure the SwimPure Plus with Controls to generate the correct amount of chlorine to properly sanitize the pool. Refer to the AQL-CHEM manual for more detailed information.

This selection affects ALL of the timeclock logic in the SwimPure Plus with Controls. If “7-day” is selected, each timeclock will have one set of turn-on/turn-off settings that operate every day of the week. If “Weekend/Weekdays” option is selected then the user can enter one set of turn-on/turn-off times for the weekend (fixed as Saturday/Sunday) and another set of turn-on/turn-off times for weekdays (Monday through Friday).

Valve3 Function

Timeclock (default) – the valve turns on/off at the times set for the valve3 timeclock in the Timers Menu (see Operations Manual). The VALVE3 button can also be used to turn the valve output on or off.

Solar – 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.

Super Chlorinate – if “Chlorinator” is enabled, this option allows the user to start a Super Chlorinate cycle when the Valve3 button is pressed, rather than using the Settings Menu. Note that only one button can be assigned to this function.

Valve3 Interlock

If “Enabled”, this feature will override the function (timeclock or in-floor cleaner) selected above and turn the valve off when: the filter pump is off, first 3 minutes of filter pump operation (allows the pump to prime and get water flowing), or for the first 3 minutes after solar turns on (allows air in the solar panels to be purged). Interlock is not available for solar or super chlorinate.

Valve3 External Input Interlock

When Valve3 External Input Interlock is enabled, the Valve3 output will be forced off when the external input is active. This will have precedence over freeze protection. Valve3 External Input Interlock is not available for solar and super chlorinate.

Valve3 Freeze Protection

This function protects the pool and plumbed equipment against freeze damage. If Freeze Protection is enabled and the AIR temperature falls sensor falls below the selected freeze temperature threshold, the SwimPure Plus with Controls will turn on the valve to allow circulation of the water. IMPORTANT: this only enables operation of the valve3 output during freeze--see the “Filter Pump Config.” menu to enable freeze protection for the main circulation system.

Valve3 Pump Speed

This is the speed of the pump when the Valve3 output is on. The default selection is “Settings Menu”. This is the speed of the pump that has been selected in the Settings Menu for normal filter operation. If an alternate speed is desired when the Valve3 output is on, push “+” or “-” and select from “Filter Lowest” to “Filter Highest” in 5% increments.

Pool/Spa Setup

If “Pool Only” or “Spa Only” are selected, then the pool/spa valves are not needed 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 SwimPure Plus with Controls. Pressing the POOL/SPA button on the display/keypad will allow the homeowner to alternate between pool and spa operation.

Spa CountDn

This menu will appear only if Pool/Spa Setup is set to “Pool and Spa”. This setting is the time, after you manually switch the Pool/Spa valves to “Spa Only”, until the SwimPure Plus with Controls automatically returns the valves to their previous positions. It is programmed in increments of 5 minutes, from “Manual On/Off” (0 minutes) to “21:00” (21 hours). The filter is forced on during this time period.

Spa Spillover

When spa spillover is “Enabled” and “Pool and Spa”, 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 SwimPure Plus with Controls will automatically switch the pool/spa suction and return valves to “spillover” at the start 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 SwimPure Plus with Controls will switch the pool/spa valves to the “pool only” position at the start of the programmed pool filtering time period or when the superchlorinate function is turned on. 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.

V1=Aux1, V2=Aux2

This menu appears only if the Pool/Spa Setup is “Pool Only” or “Spa Only”. When enabled, Valve 1 (return) will follow the Aux1 output and Valve 2 (suction) will follow the Aux2 output. When disabled (default), the return and suction pool/spa valves function normally.

Filter Off Valve Change

This menu appears only if Pool/Spa setup is set to “Pool and Spa - Std”. When enabled (default), the filter pump will shut off for 35 seconds whenever the Pool/Spa valves are turning. The pump will NOT shut off when a heater is in Heater Cooldown mode.

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, Operation Manual). The AUX button can also be used to turn the output off.

Low Speed of a 2-speed Filter Pump – the SwimPure Plus with Controls will operate the aux relay whenever the low speed operation of the filter pump is required. It is very important that the “2speed” filter pump option be selected under the “Filter Config.” Menu for proper operation.

Timeclock – the aux relay will turn-on and turn-off at the times set for the aux1 timeclock in the Timers Menu. The AUX button can also be used to turn the output on and off.

Solar – the aux relay operates a solar booster pump which will turn on when the filter pump is 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.

Super Chlorinate – if “Chlorinator” is enabled, this option allows the user to start a Super Chlorinate cycle when the Aux button is pressed, rather than using the Settings Menu. Note that only one button can be assigned to this function.

Select the desired Freeze Protection speed from Filter Lowest to Filter Highest speed

Adjust the desired freeze protection temperature (33ºF - 42ºF)

Filter Pump

For 2-speed pumps: When a 2-speed pump is configured, one of the AUX relays must also be configured to control the low speed motor winding on the pump. Refer to the appropriate sections in the Installation manual for specific information regarding the control logic for 2-speed and variable speed pump operation.

For the Hayward variable speed pump: The Filter relay is used to supply input power to the pump. The relay will be on when the filter pump output is on. When the filter pump output is off, the relay will be off. On , off and speed is controlled by commands sent to the pump.

Lowest Speed

This is the lowest speed that the variable speed pump is allowed to run at. It is used as the lower limit in the Low Speed Settings Menu. Set lowest speed from 10% (default) to 50%.

Highest Speed

This is the highest speed that the variable speed pump is allowed to run at. It is used as the upper limit in the High Speed Settings Menu. Also, this is the speed that the pump will run at during the first 3 minutes of operation anytime the pump has been off for more than 30 seconds. Set highest speed from 20% to 100% (default).

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 the freeze threshold (see below), the SwimPure Plus with Controls will turn on the filter pump to circulate the water. If “Pool and Spa” is selected in the Pool/Spa sub-menu (see page 18), the valves will also alternate between the pool and spa every 30 minutes and the filter pump will turn off while the valves are turning. The chlorinator will not operate if freeze protection is the only reason the pump is running.

Freeze Protection Speed

This menu only appears if freeze protection is enabled and the pump is configured for 2-speed or variable speed pump operation. If the pump turns on due to freeze protection only, the pump will run at this speed.

2-Speed pumps: Select high (default) or low speed operation.

Aux1 Relay

This feature allows the user to select either “Standard” (default), “Dimmer” or “VSP” type relay for the Aux1 output. The optional AQL-DIM dimmer kit must be installed if “Dimmer” is desired.

When “Dimmer” is selected, and the Aux1 output is manually turned on, the “+” and “-” buttons adjust the level from 20% to 100% (default). The level is saved for the next time the aux1 output is turned from off to on.

If “VSP” is selected, the Aux relay is used to supply power to a Hayward Variable Speed Pump (VSP). The relay will be on when the Aux output is on and off when the output is off. On, off and speed are controlled by commands sent to the VSP.

Aux1 Interlock

If “Enabled”, this feature will override the function (Manual On/Off, Countdown Timer, Timeclock), selected above and turn the aux1 off 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”, or for the first 3 minutes after solar turns on (allows air in the solar panels to be purged). Interlock is not available for solar, low speed filter pump, super chlorinate or dimmer.

Aux1 External Input Interlock

When Aux1 External Input Interlock is enabled, the Aux1 output will be forced off when the external input is active. This will have precedence over freeze protection. Aux1 External Input Interlock is not available for solar, low speed filter pump, dimmer, group, super chlorinate, or pH dispense functions.

Aux1 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 selected freeze protection temperature, the SwimPure Plus with Controls 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. Freeze Protection is not available for low speed filter pump, dimmer, group, super chlorinate or pH dispense functions.

Aux1 Pump Speed

This is the speed of the filter pump when the Aux1 output is on. The default selection is “Settings Menu”. This is the speed of the pump that has been selected in the Settings Menu for normal filter operation. If an alternate speed is desired when the Aux1 output is on, push “+” or “-” and select from “Lowest” to “Highest” in 5% increments.

Variable Speed pumps: Select the desired speed (from Filter Lowest to Filter Highest speed).

Heater Cooldown

This feature ensures that the heater cools down before water circulation is stopped. When enabled, the SwimPure Plus with Controls will continue to run the filter pump for 5 minutes after the heater turns off. During this period the filter pump LED will flash and also a “Heater Cooldown, X:XX remaining” 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 until the pool (or spa) is heated up to the desired temperature setting (see Settings Menu). Heater extend will NOT cause the filter pump to turn on, it will only delay the turn off time when the heater is operating.

Allow Low Speed

This menu only appears if the filter is configured for 2-speed operation. During default operation, high speed mode is used whenever the heater is on. If Allow Low Speed is enabled, low speed will be allowed even if the heater is on.

Minimum Speed

This menu only appears if the filter is configured for variable speed operation. This is the minimum speed the pump will run at when the heater is on. The selection is from Filter Lowest to Filter Highest speed.

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. If the solar is operated by a pump, then one of the AUX relays must be set up for solar logic. 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.

Allow Low Speed

This menu only appears if the pool filter is configured for 2-speed operation. During default operation, high speed mode is used whenever the solar heater is on. If Allow Low Speed is enabled, low speed pump operation will be allowed during solar heating except for the first 3 minutes after solar heat turns on.

Lights Function

Although designated as the “Lights” output, the function of the lights relay is similar to the aux1 and aux2 relays. If pool lights are wired to the lights relay, some options including Solar function, Low Speed of a 2-Speed Filter Pump, Lights Interlock and Lights Freeze Protection will not be necessary and should be disabled. If no pool lights are used, the lights relay can be used to control other pool devices that may require these options. The function of each option is shown below.

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

Countdown Timer—the lights relay will turn on when the LIGHTS button is pressed. The lights relay will turn off automatically after a programmed time (see Timers Menu in Operation Manual). The LIGHTS button can also be used to turn the output off.

Low Speed of a 2-speed Filter Pump – the SwimPure Plus with Controls will turn on the lights relay whenever the low speed operation of the filter pump is required. It is very important that the “2speed” filter pump option be selected under the “Filter Config.” Menu for proper operation.

Timeclock – the lights relay will turn-on and turn-off at the times set for the lights timeclock in the Timers Menu (see Timers Menu in Operation Manual). The LIGHTS button can also be used to turn the output on and off.

Solar – the lights relay can operate a solar booster pump which will turn on when the filter pump is 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.

Super Chlorinate – if “Chlorinator” is enabled, this option allows the user to start a Super Chlorinate cycle when the Lights button is pressed, rather than using the Settings Menu. Note that only one button can be assigned to this function.

Lights Relay

This feature allows the user to select either “Standard” (default), “Dimmer” or “VSP” type relay for the Lights output. The optional AQL-DIM dimmer kit must be installed if “Dimmer” is desired.

When “Dimmer” is selected, and the Lights output is manually turned on, the “+” and “-” buttons adjust the level from 20% to 100% (default). The level is saved for the next time the lights are turned from off to on.
