    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.

  • Page 7: Lights And Aux Outputs

    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.

  • Page 17 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.

  • Page 18: Group Function

    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.
  • Page 19 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.

  • Page 20: Configuration Menu

    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...
  • Page 21 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”...
  • Page 22 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.
  • Page 23 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.
  • Page 24 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).
  • Page 25 Move to previous/next configuration menu 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.

  • Page 32 > Move to previous/next configuration menu This selection affects ALL of the timeclock logic in the Aqua Logic. If “7-day” is selected, each timeclock will have one set of turn-on/turn-off settings that operate every day of the week. If “Weekend/Weekdays” option is selected then the user can enter one set of turn-on/ turn-off times for the weekend (fixed as Saturday/Sunday) and another set of turn-on/turn- off times for weekdays (Monday through Friday).

  • Page 33: Operate The Spa-Manually

    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.

  • Page 34: Start/Stop Superchlorination

    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.

  • Page 35: Enter/Exit Service Mode

    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.

  • Page 36: Saturation Index

    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.

  • Page 37: Salt Level

    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.

  • Page 40: Servicing And Cleaning The Aqua Logic Cell

    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.

  • Page 41: Service Mode

    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.

  • Page 42: Diagnostic Menu

    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.
