EasyTouch System Overview

EasyTouch® Pool and Spa Control System Overview

Welcome to the EasyTouch Pool and Spa Control system − The next generation in automatic control systems.
The EasyTouch 8 or EasyTouch 4 system allows you to automatically control all of your spa and pool daily
operations. Pool and spa service operations can be manually controlled from the EasyTouch outdoor control
panel located at the pool equipment pad. Also available is the optional Indoor Control Panel and wireless
control panel which allows automatic control of pool and spa operations from inside you home or outside
around your pool area. The EasyTouch 8 or EasyTouch 4 system can control high voltage (120 VAC / 240
VAC) equipment, automatic valve actuators, pumps, lighting, a conventional heater or a solar heating system,
heat pump (heating/cooling or both), and the optional IntelliChlor salt chlorine generator and IntelliChem water
chemistry controller.

Operating EasyTouch

The EasyTouch system is designed to automatically control your pool and spa equipment, lights and other
optional equipment. However, you can also manually control all EasyTouch system operations from the outdoor
control panel. Using the “Mode” button, the system can be switched from “Auto” mode (normal operating
mode) to “Service” mode for manual operation and service purposes. Using the outdoor control panel buttons
you can manually override any automatic settings. If required, the EasyTouch outdoor control panel can be
password protected. To access a password protected control panel, simply enter the assigned the four digit
password (see page 53).

1

EasyTouch Systems

There are two EasyTouch system configurations available; EasyTouch 8 (auxiliary circuits) and EasyTouch 4
(auxiliary circuits). The EasyTouch system is factory configured to operate with a “shared” equipment system
or with a “single body” system. For EasyTouch 4 and EasyTouch 8 menu settings, see page 14.

IntelliChlor® Electronic Chlorine Generator

The optional IntelliChlor salt chlorination system allows the EasyTouch system to
automatically control water sanitization by using a low concentration of salt (sodium
chloride) in the pool and spa water. IntelliChlor automatically converts the salt into
free chlorine which eliminate bacteria and algae in the pool and spa water. The
chlorine will then revert back to sodium chloride after killing the bacteria. The
outcome of this continuous cycle, practically eliminates the need to use sanitizing
chemicals in the pool/spa water. IntelliChlor model IC20 (P/N 520554/520556) is
designed for swimming pools up to 20,000 U.S. gallons (75,000 liters). Model IC40
(P/N 520555/520556) is designed for swimming pools up to 40,000 U.S. gallons (151,000 liters).

IntelliChem® Chemical Dispenser

The optional IntelliChem is a pH and ORP sensing device that dispenses correct
amount of chlorine or bromine, muriatic acid or CO2 gas. IntelliChem provides
continual analysis of your swimming pool water sanitation and pH levels, providing
real-time status information to dispense the proper amount of muriatic acid (pH
reducer) and chlorine or bromine for the correct sanitization and pH balance.
IntelliChem operates with or without a salt chlorine generator to provide a self­replenishing supply of chlorine generated from salt. IntelliChem can also connect to carbon dioxide (CO2)
liquid gas tanks to lower pH in your swimming pool water. When CO2 dissolves into water it produces weak
neutral bicarbonate salts which reduces pH. CO2 is environmentally friendly and produces no secondary
pollution into the treated water by salts such as chlorides or sulfates. IntelliChem also supports IntelliChlor salt
chlorine generator (SCG) to help manage your pool water sanitizer levels.

Valves (V) button is in “Pool” mode. In this mode the valves are automatically rotated so that
only the pool water is circulated through the system and the filter pump is activated. Pressing this
button once enables “Spa” mode and activates the filter pump to circulate only spa water
through the system. “Fill/Spillway” and “Drain” mode can only be used while in “Service” mode
(See Mode button for details). “Fill/Spillway” and “Drain” mode are used when cleaning the spa.
Pressing the Valves (V) button again returns the system to “Pool” mode. Note that the filter
pump will switch off while the pool/spa valves are rotating into position. The current operating
mode is shown in the LCD display. Note: The Valves button (Pool, Spa, Fill (Spillway),

Drain) button has no function in “Pool only” or “Spa only” systems. For an EasyTouch
single body system, “Pool” and “Spa” modes are Lo- Temp (Pool) and Hi-Temp (Spa)
temperature controls. For more information, see “Hi-Temp/Lo-Temp Controls for Single
Body Systems,” page 41.

Aux 1 - 7 buttons/LEDs: Auxiliary output circuit buttons operate the pool and spa system valves,

lights and other equipment. These auxiliary circuits are assigned in the “Circuit Function” menu, see
page 39 for details. There are three auxiliary circuits (AUX 1- 3) on the EasyTouch 4 outdoor
control panel and seven auxiliary circuits (AUX 1- 7) on EasyTouch 8 outdoor control panel. The
Solar button can also be used for an “extra” auxiliary circuit if the Solar circuit is not being for solar
equipment. Labels can be affixed next to each auxiliary button to identify the circuit function. Labels
can be affixed over each auxiliary button to identify the circuit function. When an auxiliary circuit is
activated or the button is pressed, the LED is on. Pressing an auxiliary circuit button will activate the
corresponding circuit in either “Auto” or “Service” mode. When a circuit relay is switched on
manually, it remains on until either you switch it off manually, or the next time the relay is scheduled
to be switched off. For example, if the filter pump is scheduled to automatically run from 9:00 AM to
5:00 PM daily then the filter pump is switched on manually at 9:00 PM, it will run continuously until
the next day at 6:00 PM then switch off. The schedule will then continue from then on.

EasyTouch Menus

From the EasyTouch control panel menus you can schedule everyday pool/spa, heating, filtration and cleaning.
Lights and laminars can also be scheduled to switch on and off at specific times. The “Settings” and
“Schedule” menus are typically used most often for daily spa and pool operations. The “Settings” menu is used
by the pool installer to setup installed equipment which is connected to each output relay (filter pump, auxiliary
relays, heater, valves, lights, etc.). For EasyTouch equipment installation instructions, see the EasyTouch
Installation Guide (P/N 520584).

The EasyTouch main screen displays the current mode of operation
(AUTO/SERVICE/TIMEOUT), heat source being used, spa (or pool) actual water
temperature (95° F), current heater set point temperature (100° F) and the current
ambient air temperature (air sensor). Degree units can be displayed in either
Fahrenheit (default) or Celsius (see page 48). If the second display line is blank and
the heat source is not displayed, there is no spa or pool function currently active. The
main screen is automatically displayed if there is no control panel menu activity for
five minutes. If there is an IntelliChlor salt chlorinator generator being used, pool and
spa sanitizer settings, and salt levels can be viewed in the Diagnostics, “Chlorinator,”
settings (see page 37).

Main Screen Description

AUTO: EasyTouch is in normal (automatic) operating mode. For information about “Service” and “Timeout”

operating modes, see page 4.

HEATER: The selected heat source as selected in the “Heat” menu (see page 25). The heat options are:

OFF - No heating even though pump and other circuits may be operating.

•

• HEATER - Gas heater only.

• SOLAR ONLY - Solar heating system to be the only heat source. In order to display “Solar Pref.” on

the main screen, you must first enable solar in the “Solar” menu (see page 46).

• SOLAR PREF. - (Solar Preferred) - For when solar and gas heating are combined, and you want to

use solar heating only when it is most effective. In order to display “Solar Pref.” on the main screen,
you must first enable solar in the “Solar” menu.

SPA: “SPA” is displayed after the Valves (V) button is pressed to set in “spa” mode then the Filter (F)

button is pressed to switch the filter pump on, rotate the valve actuator (to isolate spa water from pool water),
and switch the heater on (if enabled in the “Heat” menu). Pressing the Valves (V) button alternates between
“Pool” and “Spa” mode. The temperature unit displayed on the left side is the actual water temperature (95°
F) and the set point temperature (100° F) as set in the “Heat” menu is displayed on the right side. If this
display line is blank, it indicates no spa or pool function is currently active. For Hi-Temp controls (EasyTouch
single body system), see page 41.

POOL: “POOL” is displayed after the Filter (F) button is pressed to switch the filter pump on, rotate the

valve actuator to isolate the pool water from the spa water, and switch the heater on (if enabled in the “Heat”
menu). Pressing the Valves (V) button alternates between “Pool” and “Spa” mode. The temperature unit
displayed on the left side is the actual water temperature (95° F) and the set point temperature (100° F) as set
in the “Heat” menu is displayed on the right side. If this display line is blank, it indicates no spa or pool function
is currently active. For Lo-Temp controls (EasyTouch single body system), see page 41.

AIR: Displays the actual outside ambient air temperature (70° F) as recorded by the air sensor located near

the EasyTouch load center.

DAY and TIME: The current system day and time (AM/PM). See the “Clock” menu to set the system day and

time (page 46).
