QUICK START REFERENCE
Use this section for reference - please read all safety instructions and
appropriate manual sections for installation and operation instructions.
• Do NOT add chemicals to feeders until all start-up operations are completed.
• Manually adjust and balance pool/spa to acceptable levels and verify using DPD test kit
prior to start-up. Automation should be used to maintain chemical levels, not to balance a
pool/spa that is out of acceptable chemical ranges.
On/Off:
• press the mode button to turn the unit on.
note: ‘FLOW’ light must illuminate.
• press and hold the mode button to turn the unit off.
“OFF” will be displayed in the windows
To Operate:
• press and release the mode button until the “AUTO” light is lit.
Unit will now operate in the factory preset settings:
- Set level: pH = 7.4
- Feed times: 0.6 second feed with a 5 minute delay
- Limits/Alerts: pH; 8.0 hi, 7.0 low
To Change Settings:
• Press and release the mode button –AUTO light off.
Note: Once the settings are changed, they will remain at those settings until they are
manually changed.
Set Level
Feed Time
The number represent the seconds of feed time
(all with 5 minute delays).
Range is 0.6 to 900 sec. (15 min.).
Constant feed is ‘con’.
Other: See the appropriate manual sections for:
: press the Set Level button until the desired set point is reached.
: press the Feed Time button until the desired feed time is reached.
• calibrating the pH sensor
• changing function (acid/base feed)

1.0 Safety Instruction
A- WARNING: Do not shut down circulating and control system immediately after
using pool, spa or hot tub.
Systems must operate until water chemistry is stable. Systems must be restarted
before water chemistry is out of NSPI recommended ranges or water chemistry must
be manually corrected.
B- WARNING: Removing power from circulating pump must also remove power from
the controller.
Provide a properly located outlet controlled by the circulating pump circuit.
C- WARNING: Pool water must be balanced and stabilized before operating this
controller.
(See ‘READ ME FIRST’ document for further information.)
D- WARNING: Use a device such as a flow switch to shut-off power from the
controller in the event of pool pump or circulation failure.
It is not safe to automatically dispensed chemicals into a circulating system that is
not running.
E- WARNING: Controller uses microprocessor.
Wireless communication equipment or other electrical operated devised operated in
close proximity may cause inadvertent actuation of chemical feed pumps.
F- WARNING: Risk of electric shock.
Connect power cord to ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Contact qualified
electrician if you can not verify that your installation meets local electrical codes,
including grounding of water system components.
G- WARNING: Do not bury cords. Do not use extension cords.
Locate cord to minimize abuse from lawn mowers, trimmers and other equipment.
Replace damaged cords immediately.
H- WARNING: Do not install within an outer enclose or beneath skirt of tub or spa
unless so marked.
