Heater Checkout

Follow these instructions to verify that the SwimPure Plus with Controls is properly controlling the heater .

1. Check that the SwimPure Plus with Controls is calling for the heater to turn on as indicated by the “Heater” LED being illuminated. If the “Heater” LED is illuminated, go directly to step 2; if not, then check the following:

• The heater is enabled (Configuration Menu/Heater Config.).

• The heater temperature setting is at least 2ºF greater than the water temperature (Settings Menu / Pool Heater & Spa Heater).

• The filter pump is running.

• If the pool has solar heat and the solar priority feature is enabled (Configuration Menu/Solar Config) then solar must be off in order for the heater to fire. The easiest way to force solar off is to go to the Settings Menu / Pool Solar & Spa Solar and temporarily lower the temperature settings below the current water temperature.

2. Check that the heater is running. If not, then check:

• Power is supplied to the heater .

• The SwimPure Plus with Controls control output is properly connected to the heater control (see ”Heater Control” wiring, page 13).

• Some heaters also have internal switches or jumpers that have to be set correctly for remote control operation—refer to the heater manual and also “Heater Control” (page 13).

• Heater is turned on (“Kill Switch” is in the “ON” position).

• If a heater bypass valve is installed, check that water is flowing through the heater .

• The heater temperature setting is set as high as possible (usually 104ºF/40ºC). Also note that some heat pumps actually have be set to the lowest possible temperature.

3. Once the heater is running, you can verify the “heater cooldown” feature (optional - see Configuration Menu/Heater Config.) is operating properly:

• Press the “Filter” button once (for 2 speed pumps, this may require 2 pushes of the “Filter” button).

• The heater should turn off (“Heater” LED off) and the “Filter” LED will flash to indicated heater cooldown is active.

• The display will periodically indicate that the filter pump is on for heater cooldown and show the minutes remaining.

• The pump will automatically turn off at the end of the 5 minute heater cooldown period.

For more detailed instructions on control and operation of the SwimPure Plus with Controls system, refer to the Operation Manual.

Service Mode

Service mode disables all automatic control operation and is intended to be used when servicing the pool system. T o enter service mode, push the SER VICE button once on the main unit keypad. This will initially turn all outputs off and then allow you to turn outputs on/off manually at the main display (only). In service mode, the buttons on the optional remote display/keypad and the optional spa side remote will turn outputs off, but will not turn any output on. Heater control outputs and solar control outputs are prevented from turning on if the water temperature exceeds 104ºF (40ºC).

1. Preparing Pool/Spa Water

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 20).

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 .

VSP Speed

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 “W eekend/W eekdays” 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).

Toggle between % and RPM Move to previous/next configuration menu

This is the unit of measure for displaying the speed of the variable speed pump. Select % of maximum speed (3450 RPM) or revolutions per minute (RPM).

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.

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

ºC ºF Ti 12

103

How to use: Measure pool pH, temperature, calcium hardness, and total alkalinity. Use the chart above to determine Ti, Ci,and Ai from your measurements. Insert values of pH, Ti, Ci and Ai into th e above equat ion. If Si equals .2 or more, scal ing and staining may occur. If Si equals -.2 or less corrosion or irritation may occur.

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

Salt Level

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

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 all of the chlorine added to the pool over time is ending 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.

Valve3 Function

Timeclock (default) – the valve turns on/of f 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. IMPOR TANT: 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 V alve3 output is on, push “+” or “-” and select from “Filter Lowest” to “Filter Highest” in 5% increments.
