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

The following statement is applicable if any of the wireless accessories are connected to the Aqua Logic system. FCC Statement (Compliance Statement, Part 15.19): This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. WARNING (Part 15.
Display Press to load the “Instant Salt” into the averaged salt display > Move to previous/next menu item 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.
• 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.
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.
System Maintenance Automatic System Operation 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 controls most of your pool equipment automatically in order to minimize the time spent working on your pool.

The pool’s chemistry must be balanced BEFORE activating the Aqua Logic’s optional chlorinator function. 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. For Pool and Spa dual equipment with separate heaters (“Pool and Spa -Dual” and “Htr1=Spa, Htr2=Pool” selected), Pool Heater2 is tied to the Pool Filter (FILTER).
Chlorinator Operation / 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 besides salt. Refer to the description of the Aqua Logic configuration menu for information on enabling/ disabling the chlorinator (see page 16). Round Diameter x Diameter x Average Depth x 5.
