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.
Automation
The AQL-PS-4 (-8, -16) can control up to 4 (8, 16) high voltage (120/240V) pieces of equipment, up to
4 (8 for the PS-16) automatic valve actuators, and 2 conventional heaters plus a 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.
1

Chlorination
With the use of the optional AQL-CL chlorination kit, the Aqua Logic is also an automatic chlorine genera-
tion system for pool and/or spa sanitization. If enabled (see Configuration Menu), this operation requires
a low concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the pool/spa water. The Aqua Logic automatically con-
verts 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).
The Aqua Logic 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.
For pools larger than 40,000 gallons, the Aqua Logic can control one or more Goldline Aqua Rite chlori-
nators 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.
Default Display
Turn power on at the main panel and turn the Aqua Logic 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 7 to view all possible displays. The Aqua Logic will automatically scroll through all of
the available default menu displays or you can press “<” or “>” to manually scroll.
Optional Remote Display/keypad shown--the display keypad on the

main control unit will have a “Service” button in the upper left
corner instead of the “System Off” button.

Manual System Operation
While the main objective of the Aqua Logic 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 manu-
ally. 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.

Output Names
The Aqua Logic is shipped from the factory with each output labeled with a generic name (e.g. AUX1,
VALVE3, etc.). One of the features in the software (see Configuration Menu, page 16) is that each output
can be assigned a new name that is more descriptive of the equipment being controlled. This makes it much
easier to operate all of the equipment on your pool without having to memorize what each output controls.
Insert name labels are also provided to be placed next to each display pushbutton. Since there is no way
to know how your particular system is configured, this manual will use the original generic names for each
output.
Pool Filter Pump

The pool filter pump can be manually operated whether in Standard (single pump) or Dual Equipment
(separate pumps for both pool and spa) mode. When in Standard mode, the display will refer to the pool
filter pump as “FILTER”. When in Dual Equipment mode, the display will read “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. If you attempt to switch
to low speed shortly after turning on high speed the filter pump will automatically remain in high speed for
3 minutes before switching to low speed to 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 Pump Configuration), the Aqua Logic will turn on the filter pump to circulate the
water.
Spa Filter Pump (when using Dual Equipment)

Single Speed Filter Pump: If the pump is currently off, press the “AUX1” button to turn on the pump.
Pressing the “AUX1” 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 “AUX1” 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 “AUX1”
button again to turn off the filter pump.
Two Speed Filter Pump: If the pump is currently off, simply press the “AUX1” button to turn on high
speed operation of the filter pump. The “AUX1” LED will illuminate continuously. Pressing the “AUX1”
button again will switch to low speed operation and the “AUX1” LED will flash. If you attempt to switch
to low speed shortly after turning on high speed the filter pump will automatically remain in high speed for
3 minutes before switching to low speed to 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, the Aqua Logic will turn on the spa filter pump to circulate the water.
Lights and Aux Outputs

Standard Relay: Manual operation of all relays (LIGHTS, AUX1 and AUX2 for a PS-4 model, LIGHTS,
AUX1 - AUX6 for a PS-8 model, or LIGHTS, AUX1 - AUX14 for a PS-16 model) is identical. Assum-
ing 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.
Pool/Spa Valves
Pool-only or Spa-only systems: The POOL/SPA/SPILLOVER button has no function.
Standard Pool and Spa systems without spa spillover: In pool-only mode (“POOL” LED illuminated),
press the “POOL/SPA/SPILLOVER” button to switch to spa-only operation (“SPA” LED illuminated).
Pressing the “POOL/SPA/SPILLOVER” button again will switch back to pool-only. Note that the filter
pump will turn off while the pool/spa valves are turning.

Standard Pool and Spa systems with spa spillover: When currently in the pool-only mode (“POOL”
LED illuminated), press the “POOL/SPA/SPILLOVER” button to switch to spa-only operation (“SPA”
LED illuminated). Press the button again to switch to spa spillover operation (“SPILLOVER” LED
illuminated). Pressing the “POOL/SPA/SPILLOVER” button again will switch back to pool-only mode.
Note that the filter pump will turn off while the pool/spa valves are turning.
Dual Equipment Pool and Spa systems without spa spillover: The POOL/SPA/SPILLOVER button
has no function. The “POOL” LED will always be illuminated.
Dual Equipment Pool and Spa systems with spa spillover: When currently in the separate Pool and
Spa loops mode (“POOL” LED illuminated) and the Spa Filter is off, press the POOL/SPA/SPILLOVER
button to switch to spa spillover operation (“SPILLOVER” LED illuminated). Press the POOL/SPA/
SPILLOVER button again to return to the separate Pool and Spa loops mode of operation. Note that the
Pool Filter pump will shut off while the pool/spa return valve is turning. The system will automatically
switch out of spillover whenever the spa filter pump is turned on.
Note: For Dual Equipment Pool and Spa systems, there is no Spa Only mode.
Heaters
This description applies to Heater1 and to Heater2, if programmed (note that the function of the Valve4
button changes to Heater2 when Heater2 is enabled). Pressing the “HEATER” button causes the Aqua
Logic to switch the heater control output between a “forced off” state and a normal, automatic thermo-
static control operating state.
System Off
Each remote display/keypad has a red “SYSTEM OFF” button on the upper left corner of the keypad.
Pressing this button will turn all outputs off and they will remain off, regardless of any programmed control
logic, until either the “SYSTEM OFF” button (on any remote display/keypad) is pressed again or the
“SERVICE” button is pressed on the display/keypad at the main unit. The red “SYSTEM OFF” LED will
illuminate to indicate that all outputs and being forced off.
! WARNING: pressing the “SYSTEM OFF” button overrides any programmed freeze pro-
tection and may cause damage to your system in freezing conditions.
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 emer-
gencies). The red “SERVICE” LED will be illuminated and the Aqua Logic will remain in this mode of
operation until manually taken out of service mode.
Pressing the “SERVICE” button again will cause the Aqua Logic to switch to service-timed mode which is
very similar to service mode, except that the Aqua Logic 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 Aqua Logic to normal (automatic) operation. See
Troubleshooting/Diagnostic Information (page 36) for more information about the service modes.

Automatic System Operation
The Aqua Logic controls most of your pool equipment automatically in order to minimize the time spent
working 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 the
pool equipment pad or the in-home remote display/keypad.

The Aqua Logic’s five main menus have many items in each that allow you to customize the operation of
your pool/spa equipment. The chart on the previous page shows the Aqua Logic’s five menus as well as
each menu’s specific settings.
The Default Menu is a series of informative displays (temperatures, salt levels, chlorinator settings, etc.)
with nothing to set. The Aqua Logic will automatically switch to the default menu when no keys have been
pressed for 2 minutes and will then scroll through each display.
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 can be
found on page 16.
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.
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.
! Important: All of the displays shown below use the default generic names for each function
or output. The Aqua Logic allows more descriptive names to be assigned to each piece of equip-
ment (refer to the section regarding the Configuration Menu for more information).

The spa heater setting will only appear if the system has been setup for “spa only” or “pool
and spa” operation and the “Heater1” and/or “Heater2” 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.
For Pool and Spa dual equipment with separate heaters (“Pool and Spa -Dual” and “Htr1=Spa,
Htr2=Pool” selected), Spa Heater1 is tied to the Spa Filter (AUX1).

running and the pool water temperature is less than the desired temperature setting and solar
heat is available.
Super Chlorinate >+ Turn super chlorinate on or off

Off > Move to previous/next menu item
This display only appears if the chorinator function is enabled (see Configuration Menu).
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 Aqua Logic Super-Chlorinate function. The Aqua Logic 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.
Spa Chlorinator >+ Adjust the desired chlorinator output for spa (0,1,2,3...9,10,15,20...95,100%)
3% > Move to previous/next menu item
This setting will appear only if the chorinator function is enabled and system has been setup
for “spa only” or “pool and spa-std”. 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.

This menu will only appear if a wireless base station is connected to the Aqua Logic. Perform
this procedure each time a wireless remote control is added to the Aqua Logic system.
During this procedure the wireless remote “learns” and remembers the ID code for the
wireless base station connected to this particular Aqua Logic unit and will reject messages
with any other ID codes. If “Base NOT found” is displayed, then the Aqua Logic 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 using the “Change Channel” command and then repeat the “Teach

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.

or output. The Aqua Logic allows more descriptive names to be assigned to each piece of equip-
ment (refer to the section regarding the Configuration Menu for more information).

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 and filter
operation set to “spillover”, the valves will automatically switch to spillover mode at the start
of the filtration period. For pool/spa combination systems with spillover enabled and filter
operation set to “pool only”, the valves will switch to the pool-only position. Refer to page
11 for general notes regarding timeclock programming.
For two speed pumps, 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 below). If the high speed and low speed
periods overlap, then the pump will operate in low speed during the overlap period.
There are several reasons the filter 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.

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.

During the programmed spa time, the Aqua Logic will move the pool/spa valves into the
“spa-only” position and turn on the filter pump. The heater will automatically heat the spa
up to the programmed spa temperature. This programmed spa operation will take precedence
12

over all other automatic functions, only manual operation of the filter button or pool/spa

Aqua Logic will keep the relay off until these other conditions are suitable for operation. If
the Aux1 relay is on during the programmed off time, it may be because of freeze protection.
Also, manual operation overrides the timeclock. Refer to page 11 for general notes regarding

less hours of Superchlorination.
Group Function
The latest version of the Aqua Logic offers the ability to assign a Group function to a particular button.
Instead of a button controlling one particular function, the button can be programmed to initiate a sequence
of commands that are programmed in the Configuration Menu. For example, instead of the Lights button
turning on and off the pool light only, the button can be programmed to turn on the pool light, turn on the
bug light, turn off the pool cleaner, turn on and dim the patio lights, turn on the music, etc. all at the same
time. This convenient feature is offered on all Aux buttons, both Valve buttons and the Lights button. Refer
to this section when programming Group commands.
Before assigning and configuring all the desired functions and their control parameters, the group itself must
be configured. The options for controlling groups are Manual On/Off, Countdown Timer, and Timeclock.
The group will turn on and off based on this selection.
When setting up a Group function in the Configuration Menu, the first menu allows you to select the control
parameter (how the group is activated and de-activated) and the second menu allows you to select which
Aqua Logic functions are to be controlled in the group.
15

A table of functions and their corresponding control parameters are listed below.

SuperChlr Unaffected, Off, On
Note that all functions in the table may not be offered. The available functions are dependent on how the
Aqua Logic is configured. For example, if the Aqua Logic is configured for a single heater, “Heater2” will
not be available as an option in the Group menu. Also, under some circumstances, functions will be
displayed but can’t be changed. Note that the function whose menu you are in, will not be displayed as an
option and will automatically turn on when the group is activated. For example, if programming a Group
function under the Lights menu, the Lights function will not be offered as an option and the Lights function
will automatically turn on with the group.
The available control parameters vary with each function. All functions offer “Unaffected”, which should
be selected if you do not wish to control that particular function within the group. All other parameters will
depend on the particular function selected.
When activating Group functions, be aware that the most recent Group function that you activate will
override any previous Group functions.
Heater Setpoints in Groups

The Aqua Logic can be programmed to use alternate heater setpoints (conventional and/or solar) while
running group commands. This allows the heater to be set to a higher or lower temperature than normal,
while the group is activated. When the group stops, the setpoint will return to its normal setting.
Changing the setpoint while the Group is running will make the Group release the alternate setpoint control
and revert back to the normal heater setting. Any changes that are made at that point will affect the normal
heater setting. The next time the Group is activated, the temperature will return to the group setpoint that
was originally programmed in the Configuration Menu. To change the setpoint while the Group is running,
go to the Settings menu and press the +/- button while “Group Control” is displayed. The setpoint will
change and be retained as the new normal heater setpoint.
16

Super Chlorinate
The Aqua Logic can be programmed to Super Chlorinate the pool or spa while running a group command.
When the Group starts, the Super Chlorinate cycle will begin. Super Chlorinate will continue until the
preset time expires (see Timers Menu/Super Chlorinate Hours) or until the Group turns off. Changing the
Super Chlorinate state using the Settings Menu, the Aqua Pod Super Chlorinate button, or a Super Chlo-
rinate assigned Aux/Lights/Valve button will temporarily cancel the Group’s control of Super Chlorinate
until the next time the Group is activated.
PS-8 and PS-16 Virtual Models

Aqua Logic Virtual models are similar to standard PS models, but offer additional auxiliary outputs with
limited functionality. The AQL-PS-8-V is similar to the AQL-PS-4 with 4 additional Aux outputs. The
AQL-PS-16-V is similar to the AQL-PS-8 with 8 additional outputs. The additional aux outputs on virtual
models can only be assigned to the Super Chlorinate function (if the Chlorinator is enabled) or to a Group
function. Refer to the following programming information when assigning functions to the virtual auxiliary
outputs.
Configuration Menus
Each item needs to be programmed and may contain additional sub-menu items. Refer to the following

Chlorinator
If the chlorinator is enabled (requires the use of the AQL-CL chlorination kit), then the cell
and flow switch must also be installed and the Aqua Logic will automatically chlorinate both
the pool and spa according to the desired output setting (see Settings Menu in the Operation
manual). If disabled (default), then neither the cell nor flow switch need to be installed and
all displays relating to the chlorinator will be suppressed.
When the chlorinator is enabled, the Aqua Logic will automatically detect and control any
Aqua Rite(s) that is installed in the system (see page 21).
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-5 or T-CELL-15 (default). Make the proper selection based
on the electrolytic cell that is used in your system. For pools up to 20,000 gallons, the T-
CELL-5 is typically used. The T-CELL-15 is for pools up to 40,000 gallons.

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-
Std” is selected, then the pool/spa suction and return valve actuators should be connected
to the Aqua Logic. Pressing the POOL/SPA button on the display/keypad will allow the
homeowner to alternate between pool and spa operation. If “Pool and Spa-Dual” is selected,
then only the Pool/Spa return valve actuator should be connected to the Aqua Logic.
For more information on “Pool and Spa-Std” and “Pool and Spa-Dual”, refer to Section 3,
Plumbing, on pages 9-12.
Heaters
This menu will only appear if Pool/Spa setup is set to “Pool and Spa-Dual”. This allows the
heater(s) to either be shared between the pool and spa (“Shared” selected) or for Heater1 to
be dedicated to the spa and Heater2 to be dedicated to the pool (“Htr1=Spa, Htr2=Pool”
selected).
Spa CountDn
This menu will appear only if Pool/Spa Setup is set to “Pool and Spa-Std”. This setting is the
time, after you manually switch the Pool/Spa valves to “Spa Only”, until the Aqua Logic
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-Std”, 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. For
“Pool and Spa-Dual”, only “Pool Only” and “Spillover” are available.
Filter Operation
If “Spa Spillover” is selected, the Aqua Logic will automatically switch the pool/spa suction
and return valves to “spillover” at the start of the programmed pool filtering time period or
18

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 Aqua Logic will switch the pool/spa valves to the “pool
only” position at the start of the programmed pool filtering time period or when the super-
chlorinate 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”. 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 the heater has Cooldown enabled and is either on or in the
Heater Cooldown mode.

Filter Name
The Aqua Logic allows you to assign any one of a number of names (e.g. “Filter Pump, Pool
Filter, Spa Filter, etc.) to the filter relay. This will make the Aqua Logic more user friendly to the
homeowner when they want to control the filter equipment. A sheet of small name labels is
included with the Aqua Logic main unit and each remote display/keypad so that appropriate
pushbuttons can be labeled the same as the name that you have assigned.
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 (see page 14 for wiring
and page 31 for AUX configuration). See the Operation manual for specific information
regarding the control logic for 2-speed pump operation.
Flow Monitor
This feature will help protect the filter pump from damage due to no flow. When used with a
Goldline flow switch, the Aqua Logic monitors the state of water flow when the filter pump is
on. If no flow is detected for more than 15 minutes, the Aqua Logic will shut down the pool
pump and the “Check System” LED will indicate an error. The error will be cleared the next
time the pump is turned on.
19

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 Aqua Logic will turn on the filter pump to circulate the water. If “Pool and
Spa” is selected in the Pool/Spa sub-menu (see page 24), 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 Temperature

Select the temperature to be used for freeze protection. Temperature is adjustable from 33ºF
- 42ºF (1ºC - 6ºC). 38ºF (3ºC) is default. This threshold will be used for all outputs that have
freeze protection enabled.
NOTE: Heater1 and Heater2 configuration are identical. If Heater2 is enabled then Valve4 will automatically be
disabled due to the fact that they use the same output relay and only 1 function can be assigned to that relay.

Heater1
If the heater is “Enabled”, the heater relay will turn on when the water temperature is less
than the desired temperature setting and the filter pump is running. The desired temperature
is in the “Settings Menu”. If applicable, the homeowner will be prompted to enter separate
“pool” and “spa” settings. Depending on the position of the pool/spa suction valves, the
proper temperature setting will be used.
Heater Name
The Aqua Logic allows you to assign any one of a number of names (e.g. “Gas Heater, Heat
Pump, etc.) to each of the heater control functions. This will make the Aqua Logic much more
user friendly to the homeowner when they want to turn various heaters on or off or set
temperatures. A sheet of small name labels is included with the Aqua Logic main unit and
each remote display/keypad so that appropriate pushbuttons can be labeled the same as the
name that you have assigned.
Heater Cooldown
This feature ensures that the heater cools down before water circulation is stopped. When
enabled, the Aqua Logic 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.
20

For a Pool/Spa Setup selection of “Pool Only”, “Spa Only” or “Pool and Spa-Std”, Heater1
and/or Heater2 cooldown affect the filter pump. For “Pool and Spa-Dual”, Heater1 is associated
with the spa filter and Heater2 with the pool filter.
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.
For a Pool/Spa Setup selection of “Pool Only”, “Spa Only” or “Pool and Spa-Std”, Heater1
and/or Heater2 will keep the filter pump running. For “Pool and Spa-Dual”, Heater1 will keep
the spa filter running and Heater2 will keep the pool filter running.
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 heater is on. If Allow Low Speed is
enabled, low speed will be allowed even if the heater is on.

Solar
The Solar configuration menu will NOT appear if “Pool and Spa - Dual” has been selected in
the Pool/Spa setup menu. If the solar control logic is “Enabled”, several additional steps
must be taken to ensure proper operation of the solar heating system. If the solar is operated
by a valve, then a valve (Valve3 or Valve4) output must be setup for solar logic (page 29). If
the solar is operated by a pump, then one of the AUX relays must be set up for solar logic
(page 31). 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 by at
least 8ºF. 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.

Lights Name
The Aqua Logic allows you to assign any one of a number of names (e.g. “Pool Light, Spa
Light, Deck Light, etc.) to this control function. Note that other lights may be assigned to
other Aux outputs. This will make the Aqua Logic much more user friendly to the homeowner
when they want to turn various lights on or off. A sheet of small name labels is included with
the Aqua Logic main unit and each remote display/keypad so that the “Lights” pushbutton
can be labeled the same as the name that you have assigned. At this time it is also a good
idea to make sure that the relay in the control box is also labeled (hand written) with the same
name as a help to technicians who may service this system at a later date.
Lights Function
Although designated as the “Lights” output, the function of the lights relay is similar to the
Aux 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 are not
applicable 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—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 Aqua Logic will turn on the lights relay whenever
the low speed operation of the filter pump is required. It is very important that the “2-speed”
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 Settings Menu (see Settings Menu in Operation Manual). The LIGHTS button can
also be used to turn the output on and off.
22

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” must be enabled in the “Solar Config.” menu for
proper operation to occur.
Low Speed of a 2-Speed Spa Filter Pump – the Aqua Logic will turn on the lights relay
whenever the low speed operation of the Dual Equipment Spa filter pump is required. “Pool
and Spa-Dual” (located in Pool/Spa Setup menu) and “2-Speed” (located in Spa Filter Config.
menu) must be selected for proper operation.
Group – the lights relay operates when the Group function is initiated and shuts off when
the Group function is terminated. See Lights Group section for operation information for the
Group function.
Super Chlorinate – The Super Chlorinate function can be assigned to any Aux, Lights or
Valve button. This allows the user to simply hit a button to start a Super Chlorinate cycle,
rather than using the Settings Menu. Note that only one button can me assigned to this
function.
Lights Relay
This feature allows the user to select either “Standard” (default) or “Dimmer” 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.
Lights Interlock
If enabled, this feature will override the function (Manual On/Off, Countdown Timer,
Timeclock) selected above and turn the lights relay 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, dimmer, or group functions.
Lights Group
The Lights Group function allows the user to perform multiple tasks with a single push of the
“Lights” button. When setting up a Group function, refer to page 22 for specific programming
information. There are two Group menus; the first menu determines how the group command
will be initiated (Manual On/Off, Countdown Timer, or Timeclock) and the second menu
selects the desired functions and their respective control parameters.
When activating Group functions, be aware that the most recent Group function that is
initiated will override any previous Group function.
Lights Freeze Protection

This function helps protect equipment that is wired to the lights relay against freeze damage.
If Freeze Protection is enabled and the AIR temperature sensor falls below the selected freeze
temperature threshold, the Aqua Logic will energize the lights relay. IMPORTANT: this only
enables operation of the lights relay 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, or group functions.

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 (see page 15 for wiring
23

and page 31 for AUX configuration). See the Operation manual for specific information
regarding the control logic for 2-speed pump operation.
Freeze Protection
Freeze protection is used to protect the spa and plumbed equipment against freeze damage.
If freeze protection is enabled and the AIR temperature sensor falls below the freeze threshold
(selectable in Filter Pump Configuration Menu - page 25), the Aqua Logic will turn on the spa
filter pump to circulate the water.
NOTE: The configuration parameters for all Aux outputs are same as shown below for Aux1. PS-4: Aux1 and Aux2.
PS-8: Aux1 through Aux6. PS-16: Aux1 through Aux14. Also note that for the PS-16, Valves7, 8, 9 and 10 are turned

Quick “How To” Guide
Operate the Spa—Manually
1. Press the “Pool/Spa” button to go to “spa-only” operation (“SPA” 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 con-
trolled 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 days” or “Spa—weekends” 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 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 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 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 spa-only 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.
30

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 per 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
Supechlorination below.
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”.
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
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 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 opera-
tions that prevent the relay/valve from operating—see a more detailed discussion under
Automatic System Operation/Timers Menu/Aux Timeclock or in Troubleshooting/Diag-
nostic Information.
Program a Countdown Timer

2. Press the “>” button repeatedly until the “xxx—Timer” 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 by 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.
31

Enter/Exit Service (or Service—Timed) Mode
1. 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 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 time period.

Chlorinator Operation / Water Chemistry
General Water Chemistry
Salt is required only if you are using the chlorinator features on the Aqua Logic Control. If you are NOT
using the chlorinator, it is recommended that you follow all of the other chemistry recommendations be-
sides salt. Refer to the description of the Aqua Logic configuration menu for information on enabling/
disabling the chlorinator (see page 16).
Water Chemistry
The table below summarizes the levels that are recommended by the Association of Pool and Spa Profes-
sionals (APSP). The only special requirements for the Aqua Logic are the salt level and stabilizer.
Gallons Liters
(pool size in feet) (pool size in meters)
Rectangular Length x Width x Length x Width x

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 - 12.1
Calcuim Total
ºC ºF Ti Hardness Ci Alkalinity Ai
12 53 .3 75 1.5 75 1.9
100 1.6 100 2.0
16 60 .4
125 1.7 125 2.1

34 94 .8
600 2.4 600 2.8
39 103 .9 800 2.5 800 2.9
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 the above equation. If Si equals .2 or more, scaling 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 Aqua Logic’s optional chlorinator func-
tion. 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 Aqua Logic
system.
Salt (When using optional chlorinator function - requires AQL-CL chlorination kit)
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 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 Aqua Logic 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 through-
out 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 chart on page 34 to determine how much stabilizer must be added to raise the level to 80 ppm.

System Maintenance
To maintain maximum performance, it is recommended that you open and visually inspect the cell every 3
months 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 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.
Servicing and Cleaning the Aqua Logic Cell

Turn off power to the Aqua Logic 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 Aqua Logic. 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.
Winterizing
The Aqua Logic 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 Aqua Logic system may be
set up to circulate the pool water whenever the air sensor drops to 38ºF. Make sure the air sensor is
recording the correct temperature and is NOT located in the direct sunlight to ensure proper freeze pro-
tection 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 (Settings Menu/Pool Sanitizer & Spa Sanitizer) 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 31). 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.

Troubleshooting and Diagnostic Information
The Aqua Logic 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 Goldline Technical Service Dept. from Monday through Friday, 8AM to
8PM EST at 888-9221-7665.
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 “SER-
VICE” 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 Aqua Logic will remain in this mode of operation until manu-
ally taken out of service mode.
Pressing the “SERVICE” button again will cause the Aqua Logic to switch to service-timed mode which is
very similar to service mode, except that the Aqua Logic 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 Aqua Logic to normal (automatic) operation.
Check System Indicator

The “CHECK SYSTEM” LED will alert you when the Aqua Logic detects any of the following conditions
that are abnormal and require attention for optimal operation of your pool.
• Inspect Cell -- for optimum operation, you will need to inspect the Aqua Logic chlorinator cell ap-
proximately every 3 months and clean the cell if necessary. The Aqua Logic 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, pg 28) 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 Aqua Logic will
generate less chlorine and the life of the cell is degraded. Check the cell and clean if necessary (see
instructions, pg 35) before adding salt (see instructions, pg 32).
• High Salt/Amps/Minerals -- the Aqua Logic 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/Pool Sensor -- if the water or pool (if Dual Equipment) 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/Spa sensor -- if the solar (if solar is enabled), (Configuration Menu/Solar Config.) or spa (if
Dual Equipment) sensor is either an open or short circuit.
38

• Chlorinator Cell sensor -- if the chlorinator function enabled (Configuration Menu/Chlorinator) and
the cell sensor is either an open or short circuit.
• PS-16 Communication Error -- if an AQL-PS-16 and the Expansion Unit is not responding.
• Low Volts -- if the chlorinator cell voltage is too low.
• No Cell Power -- if no chlorinator cell power is detected on the printed circuit board.
• Chk Flow Switch -- if the flow switch input is invalid.
• Cell Power Error -- if a chlorinator cell power error is detected on the printed circuit board.
• No Flow-Filter Pump -- if the filter pump is on and the flow switch indicates no flow for 15 minutes or
more.
• Cell Missing -- if the chlorinator is enabled but no cell is detected.
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:

Wednesday
84°F 3200PPM
10:37P > Move to previous/next menu item
+/- 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 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 Aqua Logic 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 Aqua Logic default
display.

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.

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 Aqua Logic main unit.
