System Overview The Hayward Aqua Plus 16v is a multifunction pool controller used to fully manage your pool/spa system. The Aqua Plus 16v can control pumps, valves, lighting, heaters, and chlorination. Although the Aqua Plus 16v is easy to use, it is important to completely read through this operating manual before attempting to operate the control. G Optional Wireless Spaside Remote POOL LDLINE C O N TRO LS I NC .
Chlorination With the use of the included Turbo Cell and flow switch, the Aqua Plus 16v is also an automatic chlorine generation 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 Plus 16v automatically converts the salt into free chlorine which kills bacteria and algae in the pool/spa. Chlorine will revert back to sodium chloride after killing bacteria.
Manual System Operation While the main objective of the Aqua Plus 16v 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 manually. To operate the pool equipment manually while keeping the automation active, push the corresponding button on the remote keypad or one of the remote controls.
Instant Salt 3200 PPM (+=save) Press to load the “Instant Salt” into the averaged salt display Move to previous/next menu item This display will be shown only if the chlorinator is enabled. 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.
VSP Relay: This selection is used to configure a Lights/Aux output to supply power and control a Hayward Variable Speed pump (VSP). 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.

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 Plus 16v will remind you to do this by displaying the message “Inspect/Clean Cell” after approximately 500 hours of operation. The Aqua Plus 16v 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.
