System Overview

The Aqua Logic is a multifunction pool controller used to fully manage your pool/spa system. The AquaLogic can control pumps, valves, lighting, heaters, and chlorination. Although the Aqua Logic is easy touse, it is important to completely read through this operating manual before attempting to operate thecontrol.

NOTE: This manual assumes that the Aqua Logic has been wired and configured according to the Instal-lation Manual. Aspects of the Aqua Logic that pertain to system setup are not covered in this manual.

AutomationThe AQ-LOGIC-P-4 can control up to 4 high voltage (120/240V) pieces of equipment, up to 3 automaticvalve actuators, and conventional and solar heaters. Both manual and automatic (programmed) operationare available. All of the control functions can be programmed at a display/keypad which is part of the mainunit (typically located near the pool equipment) or at one or more remote display/keypads.

ChlorinationThe Aqua Logic is also an automatic chlorine generation system for pool and/or spa sanitization. Theoperation requires a low concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the pool/spa water. The Aqua Logicautomatically converts the salt into free chlorine which kills bacteria and algae in the pool/spa. Chlorinewill revert back to sodium chloride after killing bacteria. These reactions will continuously recycle virtuallyeliminating the need to add sanitizing chemicals to your pool/spa. The only time you may need to addmore salt to the pool/spa is when water is replenished due to backwashing, draining, or splashing (notevaporation).

The Aqua Logic is designed to handle the purification needs of most residential swimming pools up to40,000 gallons (150,000 liters), or the needs of most commercial pools up to 25,000 gallons (95,000liters). Check local codes for other restrictions. The actual amount of chlorination required to properlysanitize a pool varies due to bather load, rainfall, temperature, and the pool’s cleanliness.

The Default DisplayTurn power on at the main panel and turn the Aqua Logic control power circuit breaker on. The keypadwill 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 unusual circumstances additionaldisplays may be added to the default menu to inform you about system operation. The Aqua Logic willautomatically scroll through all of the default menu displays or you can press “<” or “>” to manually scroll.

Manual System OperationWhile the main objective of the Aqua Logic is to automate the operation of your pool/spa system, theremay be certain times when you want to override the automatic operation and control the equipment manu-ally. To operate the pool equipment manually while keeping the automation active, perform the followingprocedures. 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: thefilter pump is programmed to run from 9:00A to 5:00P daily. If you turn the filter pump on manually at8:00PM, it will run continuously until the next day at 5:00PM at which time it will turn off and follow thenormal program from then on. Manually turning off a relay works in a similar fashion.

Filter PumpSingle 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, andit is operating, and the “Heater Cooldown” feature is enabled (Configuration Menu) then: when you pressthe FILTER button to turn off the filter, only the heater will turn off, the Filter LED will flash and the displaywill indicate “Heater Cooldown”. At this point the filter pump will automatically turn off after 15 minutes ofheater cooldown operation. If you want to override the heater cooldown, simply press the FILTER buttonagain to turn off the filter pump.

Two Speed Filter Pump: If the pump is currently off, simply press the FILTER button to turn on highspeed operation of the filter pump. The Filter LED will illuminate continuously. Pressing the FILTERbutton again will switch to low speed operation and the Filter LED will flash. If you attempt to switch tolow speed shortly after turning on high speed the filter pump will automatically remain in high speed for 3minutes before switching to low speed to allow the pump to prime and establish normal water flow.

Lights, Aux1, and Aux2Manual operation of all 3 relays is identical. Assuming that the relay is currently off, simply press theappropriate 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 berunning and the valves to be in the pool-only position. This protects pumps and other equipment frompossible 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 than38ºF.

Pool/Spa ValvesPool-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 illuminated), press thePOOL/SPA button to switch to spa-only operation (right LED illuminated). Pressing the POOL/SPAbutton again will switch back to pool-only.

Pool and Spa systems with spa spillover: When currently in the pool-only mode (the left LED illumi-nated), press the POOL/SPA button to switch to spa-only operation (right LED illuminated). Press thebutton again to switch to spa spillover operation (both LEDs illuminated). Pressing the POOL/SPA buttonagain will switch back to pool-only mode.

ServiceThe main unit keypad has a SERVICE key. This button is used primarily during servicing of the poolequipment. 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. Pressingthe SERVICE button once will switch the system into service mode which means that all automatic func-tions are disabled, the remote display/keypads are disabled (except for manual turn off for emergencies).The red service LED will be illuminated and the Aqua Logic will remain in this mode of operation untilmanually taken out of service mode.

Pressing the SERVICE button again will cause the Aqua Logic to switch to service-timed mode which isvery similar to service mode, except that the Aqua Logic will automatically return to normal operation after3 hours. During service timed operation, the service LED will flash and the time remaining will be dis-played on the remote display/keypad(s).

Pressing the SERVICE button again, will return the Aqua Logic to normal (automatic) operation.

See Troubleshooting/Diagnostic Information (page 21) for more information about the service modes.

Automatic System OperationThe Aqua Logic controls most of your pool equipment automatically in order to minimize the time spentworking on your pool. Most of the pool equipment can be programmed to operate on a timeclock basis.In addition, the desired pool and spa temperatures and pool and spa chlorinator settings can be pro-grammed. This section will guide you on how to program the automatic operation for each function.

The programming of automatic functions can be performed at either the main display/keypad located at thepool equipment pad or the in-home remote display/keypad.

Using the programming buttonsThere are 5 buttons on each keypad that are used for programming (refer to diagram).

There are 4 steps to programming any function:

1. Menu Press the “Menu” button to get to the desired menu. Multiple pushes of the buttonwill rotate through all 5 menus and return to the starting point.

2. >>

Press either key to scroll through the various items in the selected menu. Multiplepushes of the button will rotate through all menu items and return to the startingpoint. Only menu items that are applicable to your pool will appear. (Example: ifyou don’t have a spa, then no spa related menu items will appear).

3. + Once a menu item has been selected above, the current setting/selection will ap-pear (flashing) on the display. Use the “+” and/or “-” keys to change this selec-tion. Sometimes “+” and “-“ will adjust a value up or down (example: heatertemperature setting or timeclock on/off time) or, in other cases the “+” and “-“may toggle between 2 options (example: turning superchlorination ON or OFF).

4. >>

Menu After you have adjusted the item to the desired value, simply move on to the nextmenu item to “lock in” your new setting. The Aqua Logic memory will maintainthe setting, even if power is removed for an extended period.

The Settings Menu and the Timers Menu are the menus you will be using most often to adjust the operationof your pool. The Configuration Menu is used when the system is installed and defines what equipment isconnected 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 areincluded in the Aqua Logic Installation Manual.

The “Diagnostic Menu” is primarily intended for the service technician and contains information and detailsabout the system operation that are helpful in troubleshooting, if problems occur.

Settings MenuThe Settings Menu allows you to set all system operating parameters except the timeclock and countdowntimers which are part of the Timers Menu.

When you have an unusually high bather load, a large amount of rain, a cloudy watercondition, or any other condition that requires a large amount of chlorine to be introduced tothe pool, activate the Aqua Logic Super-Chlorinate function. The Aqua Logic will turn onthe filter pump, set the pool/spa valves to the correct position, and set the chlorine generatorto maximum output. The superchlorinate function will continue for the programmed numberof hours (see Timers/Super Chlorinate Hours below) overriding the normal filter pump timeclocksettings. At the end of the super chlorinate period, the pool will return to normal operation.

If there is a programmed period of spa operation (see Timers Menu/Spa below), then thesuper chlorinate function will be temporarily suspended for the spa operation. At the end ofthe spa operation, super chlorinate will resume for the remaining number of hours.

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, superchlorinate will resume for the balance of the programmed number of hours.

Timers MenuThe Timers Menu allow you to set all timeclock and countdown timers which control the automatic opera-tion 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 toprogram on times for both weekdays and weekends and off times for both weekdays and weekends, evenif 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 turnon. If you want to disable a timeclock, you can set the times equal as noted above or you can adjust theon time between 11:45P and 12:00A (23:45 and 00:00) and you will notice the times disappear and thedisplay 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.

10

The Countdown timer is programmed in increments of 5 minutes from “0:00” to a maximum of “21:00”.When “0:00” is programmed, the countdown timer is disabled and the output will be manually controlled.When a countdown timer is greater than “0:00”, pressing the appropriate output button will turn the outputon and start the timer. When the programmed time has elapsed, the output will automatically turn off.

This will determine the normal hours of filtration for the pool. For pool/spa combinationsystems with spillover enabled, the valves will automatically switch to spillover mode at thestart of the filtration period. For all other systems, the valves will switch to the pool-onlyposition. Refer to page 8 for general notes regarding timeclock programming.

If you have a 2-speed pump, this setting will be the period of time when the pump runs at highspeed. There is a separate timeclock for the low speed operation (see below). If the highspeed and low speed periods overlap, then the pump will operate in low speed during theoverlap period.

There are several reasons the filter pump may be running at times other than the timeclockperiod set above. These include super-chlorination, spa operation, manual operation, heatercooldown, freeze protection and “solar-extend”.

This menu item is only available if you have a 2-speed pump (Configuration Menu). Thistimeclock will set the normal time period for filter pump low speed operation. If the filter pumpwas off prior to the start of this time period, the filter pump will first turn on at high speed for3 minutes to prime and establish water flow. Afterwards, it will drop down to low speed forthe remainder of the programmed low speed time period. While this time clock will overridethe high speed timeclock (see above), there are several reasons why the pump willautomatically switch to high speed operation during this programmed time period. Theseinclude manual operation, spa operation, or solar heating operation. Refer to page 9 forgeneral notes regarding timeclock programming.

This menu is only available if the system has been setup for “spa only” or “pool and spa”.During the programmed spa time, the Aqua Logic will turn on the filter pump and move thepool/spa valves into the “spa-only” position. The heater will automatically heat the spa upto the programmed spa temperature (see page 7). This programmed spa operation will take

precedence over all other automatic functions, only manual operation of the filter button orpool/spa valve button will override this function. Refer to page 9 for general notes regardingtimeclock programming.

If your pool has a separate jet pump or blower controlled by Aux1 and/or Aux2 , you will haveto program those separately (see below).

This menu will appear only if the Lights are configured for timeclock. The lights will turn onand off at the designated times. The only override on this function is manual on/off controlby the “Lights” button. Refer to page 9 for general notes regarding timeclock programming.

This menu will appear only if the Lights are configured for countdown timer. This setting isthe time after you manually turn on the lights until the Aqua Logic automatically turns off thelights. You can also manually turn off the lights at an earlier time by pressing the LIGHTSbutton. Refer to page 9 for general notes regarding timeclock programming.

This menu will appear only if the Aux1 is configured for timeclock. The Aux output will turnon and off at the designated times. If the Aux relay is off during the programmed on time—note that some pool equipment (example pressure side pool cleaner) can only be operatedwhen the filter pump is running and the pool/spa valves are in the pool-only position—theAqua Logic will keep the relay off until these other conditions are suitable for operation. Ifthe Aux relay is on during the programmed off time, it may be because of freeze protection.Also, manual operation overrides the timeclock. Refer to page 9 for general notes regardingtimeclock programming.

This menu will appear only if the Aux1 is configured for countdown timer. This setting is thetime after you manually turn on the Aux relay until the Aqua Logic automatically turns off therelay. You can also manually turn off the relay at an earlier time by pressing the AUX1 orAUX2 button. Refer to page 9 for general notes regarding timeclock programming.

2. Press the “>” button repeatedly until the “Spa—all days” or “Spa—weekends” is displayed.

3. Use the “+” and “-“ buttons to set the desired start time, then press “>” to switch to the offtime. 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 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 desiredtemperature, the heater will start. This operation is the highest priority and will takeprecedence over other automatically programmed operations. At the end of the spaperiod, the Aqua Logic will return to its normally programmed operation state.

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 Heater” or “Pool Heater” is displayed.

3. Press the “+” or “-“ buttons repeatedly to adjust the temperature. If you adjust the tempera-ture below 65ºF or above 104°F the display will indicate “off” and the heater will not operateregardless of temperature.

Note: Separate temperatures for the pool and spa must be set. If the valves are in thepool-only or spa spillover positions, then the heater will use the pool setting. If thevalves are in the spa-only position then the heater will operate according to the spasetting.

Set the Chlorinator Output1. Press the “Menu” button repeatedly until “Settings Menu” is displayed

2. Press the “>” button repeatedly until the “Spa Chlorinator” or “Pool Chlorinator” is displayed.

14

3. Press the “+” or “-“ buttons repeatedly to adjust the setting. If you adjust the setting to 0% thechlorinator will be off all the time

Note: Separate chlorinator output levels for the pool and spa must be set. If the valvesare in the pool-only or spa spillover positions, then the chlorinator will operate per thepool setting. If the valves are in the spa-only position then the chlorinator will operateaccording to the spa setting. The actual amount of chlorine introduced into the pool/spais determined by: this output setting, the amount of time the filter pump is running, thewater temperature, and the amount of salt in the water. Also see Start/StopSupechlorination below.

Start/Stop Superchlorination1. Press the “Menu” button repeatedly until “Settings Menu” is displayed

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

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

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 Timeclock1. Press the “Menu” button repeatedly until “Timers Menu” is displayed

2. Press the “>” button repeatedly until the “xxx—all days” or “xxx—weekends” is displayed.

3. Use the “+” and “-“ buttons to set the desired start time, then press “>” to switch to the offtime. 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 opera-tions that prevent the relay/valve from operating—see a more detailed discussion underAutomatic System Operation/Timers Menu/Aux Timeclock or in Troubleshooting/Diag-nostic Information.

Program a Countdown Timer1. Press the “Menu” button repeatedly until “Timers Menu” is displayed

2. Press the “>” button repeatedly until the “xxx—countdown” 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 automaticturn off function is disabled by manual operation is still permitted. There may be otherautomatic or manual operations that prevent the relay/valve from operating—see amore detailed discussion under Automatic System Operation/Timers Menu/Aux Timeclockor in Troubleshooting/Diagnostic Information.

Enter/Exit Service (or Service—Timed) mode1. Go to Aqua Logic 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 Aqua Logic unit. Both “Ser-vice” and “Service-Timed” disable all automatic programmed operations and allowmanual operation from the main unit only. The buttons on the remote display/keypadswill still be able to turn equipment off in case of an emergency, but will not turn anyequipment on. If the system is in “Serviced-Timed” it will automatically switch back tonormal operation at the end of the time period.

Chlorinator Operation / Pool ChemistryThe table below summarizes the levels that are recommended by the National Spa and Pool Institute(NSPI). The only special requirements for the Aqua Logic are the salt level and stabilizer. It is importantto maintain these levels in order to prevent corrosion or scaling and to ensure maximum enjoyment of thepool. Test your water periodically. Your Authorized Aqua Dealer or most pool stores can provide youwith the chemicals and procedures to adjust the water chemistry. Be sure to tell the pool store that you areusing an Aqua Logic chlorine generator.

Saturation indexThe saturation index (Si) relates to the calcium and alkalinity in the water and is an indicator of the poolwater “balance”. Your water is properly balanced if the Si is 0 ±.2. If the Si is below -0.2, the water iscorrosive and plaster pool walls will be dissolved into the water. If the Si is above +0.2, scaling andstaining will occur. Use the chart below to determine the saturation index.

Insert values of pH, Ti, Ci and Aiinto the above equation. If Si equals .2 or more, scaling and staining may occur. If Si equals -.2 or less corrosion or irritationmay occur.

Si = pH + Ti + Ci + Ai - 12.1

Salt LevelUse the chart on page 18 to determine how much salt in pounds or (Kgs) need to be added to reach therecommended levels. Use the equations below (measurements are in feet/gallons and meters/liters) if poolsize is unknown.

The ideal salt level is between 2700-3400 PPM (parts per million) with 3200 PPM being optimal. If thelevel is low, determine the number of gallons in the pool and add salt according to the chart on page 18. Alow salt level will reduce the efficiency of the Aqua Logic and result in low chlorine production. The saltin your pool/spa is constantly recycled and the loss of salt throughout the swimming season should besmall. 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 UseIt is important to use only sodium chloride (NaCl) salt that is greater than 99% pure. This is common foodquality or water softener salt and is usually available at building supply stores in 40-80 lb. bags labeled“Coarse Solar Salt”. It is also acceptable to use water conditioning salt pellets, however, it will take longerfor them to dissolve. Do not use rock salt, salt with yellow prussiate of soda, salt with anti-caking addi-tives, or iodized salt.

How to Add or Remove SaltFor new plaster pools, wait 10-14 days before adding salt to allow the plaster to cure. Turn the circulatingpump on and add salt directly into the pool. Brush the salt around to speed up the dissolving process—donot allow salt to pile up on the bottom of the pool. Run the filter pump for 24 hours with the suction comingfrom the main drain (use pool vacuum if there is no main drain) to allow the salt to evenly disperse through-out the pool. The salt display may take 24 hours to respond to the change in salt concentration.

The only way to lower the salt concentration is to partially drain the pool and refill with fresh water.

Always check stabilizer (cyanuric acid), when checking salt. These levels will most likely decline together.Use the chart on page 20 to determine how much stabilizer must be added to raise the level to 80 PPM.

System MaintenanceTo maintain maximum performance, it is recommended that you open and visually inspect the cell every 3months or after cleaning your filter. The Aqua Logic will remind you to do this by displaying the message“Inspect/Clean Cell” after approximately 500 hours of operation.

The Aqua Logic electrolytic cell has a self cleaning feature incorporated into the electronic control’s logic.In most cases this self cleaning action will keep the cell working at optimum efficiency. In areas wherewater is hard (high mineral content) or in pools where the water chemistry has been allowed to get “out ofbalance”, the cell may require periodic cleaning.

Servicing and Cleaning the Aqua Logic cellTurn off power to the Aqua Logic before removing the electrolytic cell. Once removed, look inside the celland inspect for scale formation (light colored crusty or flaky deposits) on the plates and for any debriswhich has passed through the filter and caught on the plates. If no deposits are visible, reinstall. If depositsare seen, use a high pressure garden hose and try to flush the scale off. If this is not successful, use a plasticor wood tool (do not use metal as this will scratch the coating off the plates) and scrape deposits off ofplates. Note that a buildup on the cell indicates that there is an unusually high calcium level in the pool (oldpool water is usually the cause). If this is not corrected, you may to have to periodically clean the cell. Thesimplest 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 majorityof deposits. To acid wash, turn off power to Aqua Logic. Remove cell from piping. In a clean plasticcontainer, 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 glovesand appropriate eye protection. The level of the solution in the container should just reach the top of thecell so that the wire harness compartment is NOT submerged. It may be helpful to coil the wiring beforeimmersing 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.

WinterizingThe Aqua Logic electrolytic cell and flow detection switch will be damaged by freezing water just as yourpool plumbing would. In areas of the country which experience severe or extended periods of freezingtemperatures, be sure to drain all water from the pump, filter, and supply and return lines before anyfreezing conditions occur. The electronic control is capable of withstanding any winter weather and shouldnot be removed.

If you are in an area that only experiences occasional freezing conditions, your Aqua Logic system may beset up to circulate the pool water whenever the air sensor drops to 38ºF. Make sure the air sensor isrecording the correct temperature and is NOT located in the direct sunlight to ensure proper freeze pro-tection operation.

Spring Start-upWhen first starting the pool in the spring time, it is highly recommended that you temporarily set the pooland spa chlorinator settings (Settings Menu/Pool Sanitizer & Spa Sanitizer) to 0% (off) and then manuallyshock the pool with any chlorine based shock product and balance the pool water chemistry per the levelsindicated in the Chlorinator Operation section (page 16). Make sure to check the salt and stabilizer levelsand bring them up to the recommended levels. Your local Authorized Aqua Dealer or pool store canrecommend the best chemical treatment for your pool. After the water is clear and balanced, then go backand adjust the pool and spa chlorinator settings to the appropriate levels. Test the pool chlorine levelweekly 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. Seeinstructions above.

Troubleshooting and Diagnostic InformationThe Aqua Logic provides 2 different tools to aid in troubleshooting any problems that may occur in yourpool and/or spa system. The Service mode will allow you to disable automatic operation and manuallycontrol most of the equipment (the heater and general purpose Valve3 output are the exceptions). TheDiagnostic 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, theirfunction is fully explained below. If you believe your system is not operating properly or have questionsregarding the operation, call the Goldline Technical Service Dept. from Monday through Friday, 8AM to8PM EST at 888-9221-7665.

Service ModeThe 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 putthe 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). Theoutputs can be manually controlled by pressing the buttons on the local display/keypad. The red serviceLED will be illuminated and the Aqua Logic will remain in this mode of operation until manually taken outof service mode.

Pressing the “Service” button again will cause the Aqua Logic to switch to service-timed mode which isvery similar to service mode, except that the Aqua Logic will automatically return to normal operation after3 hours. During service timed operation, the service LED will flash and the time remaining will be dis-played on the remote display/keypad(s).

Pressing the “Service” button again, will return the Aqua Logic to normal (automatic) operation.

Check System IndicatorThe “Check System” LED will alert you when the Aqua Logic detects conditions that are abnormal andrequire attention for optimal operation of your pool. The following conditions will cause the “Check Sys-tem” LED to illuminate:

• Inspect Cell—for optimum operation, you will need to inspect the Aqua Logic chlorinator cell approxi-mately every 3 months and clean the cell if necessary. The Aqua Logic will automatically remind youwhen it is time and display “Inspect Cell, + to reset” as part of the rotating Default Menu. Clean the cell(see instructions, pg 20) and then press the “+” button during the “Inspect Cell” display to reset thetimer.

• Low Salt—when the salt is too low the Aqua Logic will generate less chlorine and the life of the cell isdegraded. Check the cell and clean if necessary (see instructions, pg 20) before adding salt (see in-structions, pg 17).

• High Salt—the Aqua Logic will stop generating chlorine under certain high salt conditions in order toprotect the internal electronics from damage. The only way to lower the salt level is to partially drain thepool 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 control feature is enabled (Configuration Menu / Solar Config.) and the solar

sensor is either an open or short circuit.

For helpful troubleshooting information on any of these issues, go to the Diagnostic Menu and then scrollthrough the various items until you see the cause for the “Check System” LED being illuminated.

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 cell84ºF is the water temperature at the cell3200PPM is the “instant” salt level at this time

For the chlorinator to be operating, several other things must be happening: the filter pumpmust be running, the flow switch must be detecting flow, the chlorinator setting must be setgreater than 0%, the water temperature at the cell must be between 50ºF and 140ºF, and thesalt level must be within the operating range. If any of these conditions are not met, thechlorinator diagnostic display will tell you the reason. It’s possible to have more than onereason, in which case after you rectify what was displayed the first time, a second display willappear.

If the current (amps) display is 0.00A, then the chlorinator is operating normally but is in theoff part of its normal operating cycle. Simply press either the “+” or “-“ key to start a newcycle.The Aqua Logic periodically reverses the polarity of the voltage applied to the cell in orderto automatically clean off any calcium deposits. It is important that you check the chlorinatoroperation in both polarities. To do this, press either the “+” or “-“ buttons and the chlorinatorwill 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 atthe cell is higher than the pool/spa water temperature displayed on the Aqua Logic defaultdisplay.

Instant Salt3200 PPM (+=save) >> Move to previous/next menu item

+ Press to load the “instant salt” into the averaged salt display

The “instant salt” is calculated based on the voltage, current (amps), and water temperatureat the cell. This is different than the “average salt” value which is displayed as part of thedefault menu. There are a number of reasons why instant and average salt readings maydiffer. Some of these include salt having just been added to the pool and not yet thoroughlymixed, calcium buildup on the cell, and the cell aging.

If the sensor appears to operating properly, then the temperature will be displayed. If thistemperature is not correct then check the placement of the sensor. If the problem is notplacement 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 thatthe wires are secure in the terminal block in the Aqua Logic main unit.
