Team
Dear Owner:
Congratulations on your wise decision to make an AquaCal AutoPilot chlorinator a part of your home. Just add salt, and let your Cubby
produce the chlorine to sanitize your pool or spa. And, a wonderful thing
happens to the salt after it is turned into chlorine and does the work of
sanitizing the water—it turns back into salt and the process begins all over
again. Plus, the salt, being at a much lower level than even contact lens
solutions, means no “salty” taste to the water.
No more odors from harsh chlorine products, and never again carry chlo-
rine jugs or buckets in your car or worry
about storage. And, no longer expe-
rience the discomfort and inconve-
nience of harsh chemical reactions like
red eyes, green hair, itchy skin, or faded
swim wear.
Your pool and spa will retain a con-
stant level of chlorine, purifying the water while making it soft and silky to
the touch.
Welcome
to the
“You can rest assured know-
ing your new chlorinator is of
the highest quality and effi-
ciency, and is designed and
built to provide years of
trouble-free operation.”

The Pool Pilot Cubby Digital is a salt chlorination system designed for pool or spa water purification.Although
the Pool Pilot is easy to use, it is important to read through the entire manual before attempting to operate
the system. How Your Chlorine Generator Works
The system requires a low concentration of dissolved salt (sodium chloride) in the water. The salt concentration
level is normally maintained below the taste threshold. The Cubby Digital automatically converts the salt
into chlorine, which your pool/spa requires to remain sanitized and algae free. The chlorine reverts back
to salt after treating the water. Since the salt is constantly recycled, there is minimal loss during a swimming
season. However, salt can be lost due to filter backwashing, rain water overflow, leaks, or bather splashing/
carry out... but not through evaporation.
The Cubby Digital is designed to handle the purification needs of residential
swimmingpoolsand spas. The amountof chlorine required for propersanitization
will vary based on the pool size and various factors such as water tempera-
ture, bather load, exposure to direct sunlight, and special water features.
Thewatercirculation pump must be operatingfor your Cubby to producechlorine,
so run time is one of several key components to maintaining the proper sanitizer
levels. Most installations require a minimum of eight (8) hours-per-day
pump run time to properly filter and sanitize the water.

Please Note: Thissectionassumestheinstallerhasalreadyprogrammedthesystemforspecificsiteparameters,
has established proper water balance, and has pretreated water to 1 - 3 ppm chlorine.
AttentionOwner: shouldcentigradevs.fahrenheit,choiceof language,orother owneroptionsrequire modification,
please refer to the programming information located on page-27. See: Menu Button and Owner Options.
Use the UP and DOWN arrows to control the purifier output level,
thenpresstheSELECTbuttontosavethevaluechosen.Withaproperly
prepared pool, the recommended starting output level is 50%.
Upon initial start-up, check sanitizer level every few days and make
small output level adjustments as necessary to maintain 1-3 ppm
freechlorinelevels.Keepinmind,yourCubbydoesnot directlymeasure
orregulate the sanitizer levels in yourpool.Rather,theowner/operator
willneedtoperiodically test the water todeterminethe current chlorine
level, and adjust the output setting as needed.
After the purifier output level is “tuned in,” the unit will automatically
make fine output adjustments as the water temperature fluctuates. This temperature compensation feature
willadjustoutputdependingon water temperature. See page-12 formoreinformationconcerningthe temperature
compensation feature.
Please Note: The optimum output setting will vary based upon pool size, location, exposure to sunlight,
number of users, vegetation around the pool, water balance practices, and pump run time. Your installer
shouldhavealready taken these factors into considerationwhenperforming installation programming. Therefore,
your adjustments, at this point, should be relatively minor.

Proper water balance is critical to the operation of your Cubby Sanitizer.
Conditions such as high pH levels, low cyanuric acid (stabilizer ) levels, or other factors causing unbalanced
water, will mask thesanitizer production of your Cubby. Please note the following recommendedwater chemistry
parameters:

Winterizing
Freeze Protection & Extended Shut Down:
Important !!!
Information Critical to the Survival
of Your Pool Pilot Follows...
In areas where freezing conditions are a rare occurrence, allow the filtration
system to run continuously throughout the freeze period. Typically, during light
freeze conditions, circulating (moving) water will not freeze.
In areas where freezing conditions are prevalent and sustained, the Pool
Pilot MUST be winterized; please refer to winterizing instructions on page-41.
Special measures are required in the event of freezing conditions.Your Pool Pilot may be damaged
if measures are not taken in advance of freezing conditions. Equipment damage due to freezing con-
ditions is NOT covered under the equipment warranty.
Failure to heed the following may result in equipment
damage.

feature operates between 55°F and 125°F (13°C - 52°C).
Aswater temperature falls below65°F(18°C), the controller willactivate a high purifier percent
lockout,and maynot allow purifieradjustments upto100%. Thisfeature preventsthecontroller
from over-driving the cell under colder temperatures, thus preventing premature cell wear.
At 55°F (13°C) or colder water temperatures, the controller will adjust to a fixed 1% output,
thus preventing over-chlorination and premature cell failure.
As the water temperature rises above set point, the controller will adjust at 5% per °F up to
100%, thus preventing under-chlorination during warmer water temperatures.

ifold's four key components are the: Strainer Screen,
Tri-Sensor, SuperCell, and Bypass Flow Valve.
The Strainer Screen prevents debris in the water from
entering the Tri-Sensor or SuperCell, and requires
periodic inspection and cleaning.
TheTri-Sensorprovidesdata(fromelectronicsensors)

The Bypass Valve allows the water flow rate to be slowed and optimized through the SuperCell, while
permitting the pump to continue to circulate water to-and-from the pool/spa at full flow rates. The slowed
waterflow through theSuperCell results ina more efficient"Super-Chlorination” effect, resultingin improved
overall sanitization.

Installation Steps:
Details on each step of the installation process are presented on the following pages:
1. Plumbing the ManifoldAssembly (see below)
2. Mounting the Control Unit (page-21)
3. Electrical Requirements & Connections (pages 21-22-23)
a. Grounding and bonding
b. Line (high) voltage wiring (Pool Pilot Digital to an external timer or controller)
c. Low voltage wiring
• SuperCell cable
• Tri-sensor cable
4. Preparing the Water (pages-24 & 25)
5. Programming and Setup for Site Parameters. (pages 26-32)
Note: Insure flow rates for two-speed pump can provide sufficient flow at low speed.
Plumbing the Manifold Assembly:
STEP-1: Select the location for installing the manifold:
It is recommended the manifold be installed prior to installation of the Control Unit. The Control Unit
must be installed close enough to the ManifoldAssembly to allow the Tri-Sensor and SuperCell cables
sufficient slack to enable component service and maintenance. The cables are 12’ long.
If using the Bypass Manifold/Cell (# 94105), the assembly must be installed in a vertical orientation as
illustratedin the diagram on previous page. This orientation prevents hazardous gas buildup in the system,
should the flow switch should fail to detect insufficient flow. WARNING! Place manifold vertical ONLY.
Thedirectionof the water flowthrough the manifold mustbe as indicated forthe system to operate properly.
For a Pool/Spa combination, the manifold must be located as the last component in the POOLRETURN
LINE (to avoid over-sanitization of the spa).
Flow Rates Within Normal Range:
The manifold can be directly plumbed into the system (as shown in the diagrams on the prior page).
If the flow rate for the system is less than 20-gpm (76 L/m), a larger pump must be installed (or steps
taken to improve flow rate).
Plumbing Requirements:
The ManifoldAssembly is 2" Schedule 40 PVC, and is typically plumbed into the pool return line; and, if
applicable, after the heater and spa return diverter valve.
