Mounting Points
2. Hang the Connect LITE+ Controller from the two screws, ensuring that the power supply drops down
into place and is locked in position. Plug the controller mains cable into a 15 Amp mains outlet.
3. Ensure mains power to the Connect LITE+ Controller is off.
4. To connect your lights to the power supply (12 VAC, 1.5 A per light Max), insert each wire of the light
cable into one of each opening in the supplied green connectors, and then tighten the screws on top.
The wires can go into either opening, as there is no polarity.
5. Insert each green connector into any of the available positions in the base of the Controller. The
connectors will only insert one way. (See Figure 1) See also Section 2.2 regarding naming Lighting
Zones and allocating lights to these Zones.
6. Insert the required 240 VAC plugs into the base of the Controller. NOTE that the total current draw
from the 2 outlets must not exceed 14.5 Amps! See also Section 2.2 regarding naming Channels and
allocating them to the Power Outlets.
7. Connect any RJ12 cables that are required for communicating to other Astral Pool equipment
8. Ensure that all wiring and connected equipment is safe and ready to start, then turn mains power on
to the Controller. To turn the lights and other equipment on, press the appropriate button on the RF
Remote Transceiver.
9. The RF Remote Transceiver can also be used to change the Light Colour (COLOUR Button) and to
synchronise each light zone to the specified colour if necessary (SYNC Button). In Basic Installations,
the ALL AUTO button on the RF Remote Control isn’t used (It has no function) See Section 3.1

Figure 1
2.1 Connection to a Viron or EQ Chlorinator
The Connect LITE+ can control a Viron or EQ Chlorinator (Version 4.2 and above) without plugging the chlorinator
into either of the two 240VAC outlets. Instead the Chlorinator is plugged into a separate 240 VAC outlet and is
connected to the Connect LITE+ through the RJ12 communications cable. The Filter pump is then plugged directly
into the Chlorinator.
In this configuration, on the RF Remote Transceiver, the Chlorinator is CH1. On the main units display it will be
shown as Channel 1 Filter Pump
The two 240 VAC outlets on the Connect LITE+ can then be used to power other devices such as Cleaners, Water
Features, Blowers etc.
The Chlorinator and the other Channels are then controlled either by the RF Remote Transceiver or Manually
using buttons on the Main Control Unit or Automatically through timers in the Connect LITE+
Refer to your Viron or EQ Chlorinator user instructions for full details, but the following is a quick guide.
Ensure that your Viron or EQ Chlorinator is installed with “Timer Disabled”, “G4 System Installed”, “Fast
Comms” enabled” and “Light Disabled”
IF Ai Mode is required, ensure that the chemical sensing probes are plugged in. Both the EQ Chlorinator and the
Connect LITE+ need to be set to Ai Mode during the installation process.
2.2 Install menu
The Install menu is used to allocate names to the Power outlet channels and to the Lighting Zones as well
as to set up a replacement Hand Held RF Transceiver. (The RF Transceiver that comes with the kit is
already setup so doesn’t need to be configured)
If an EQ or Viron Chlorinator is to be used in this installation, ensure that it is installed as above and that
the RJ12 cable is connected.
To enter the Install menu press “MAINT” and then “INSTALL”.
From here you can either install Equipment such as Pumps and Lights etc or RF devices. As the RF
Transceiver is factory set, the RF menu will be covered in Section 4.2 Advanced Installation Instructions.

3.2 Controlling your Connect LITE+ using the RF Remote Control.
The Channel and Lighting buttons on the RF Remote Control are used to Turn the appropriate
Channel/Lighting Zone to ON or OFF mode.
The RF Remote Control buttons get “feedback” from the Main Controller, so that when a button is
pressed the LED above the button will glow green for approximately 5 seconds if the Power Outlet or
Light is being turned to ON mode. If the Power Outlet or Light is being turned to OFF Mode by the button,
the LED will flash for approximately 5 seconds.
“ALL AUTO” Any Power Outlets or Lights that have been selected to be controlled by a timer will be set
to AUTO Mode. If any Power Outlets are in ON mode when this button is pressed they will be turned off
and the Timers will take control.
“CH1” If a Viron or EQ Chlorinator is installed, the Filter Pump will be controlled by this button. If a Viron
or EQ Chlorinator isn’t installed, this button will not have any function.
“CH2” This button is used to turn the Power Outlet on the LHS of the Main Controller ON or OFF.
“CH3” This button is used to turn the Power Outlet on the RHS of the Main Controller ON or OFF.
“LIGHT 1” This button is used to turn lights that have been assigned to Lighting Zone 1 ON or OFF.
“LIGHT 2” This button is used to turn lights that have been assigned to Lighting Zone 2 ON or OFF.
“SYNC” This button is used to synchronise the lights in both Lighting Zones to the colour that they are
set to. If the lights are off at the time that this button is pressed, the synchronisation process will still take
place and the lights will flash (to show that synchronisation was successful) and then turn off again. If you
wish to have different colours in each zone, you need to use the buttons on the Main Controller to achieve
this.
“COLOUR” This button is used to change the colour of the lights. If the Lights are off when this button is
pressed, they will turn on at the last used colour. The next press will then change the colour of the lights.
3.3 Controlling your Connect LITE+ using the Main Controller buttons.
Equipment and Lights can be manually controlled using the buttons on the Main Controller.
(If the equipment is set to ON, it will remain on until it is set to OFF or AUTO. To enable it to use the
inbuilt timers it needs to be set to Auto.)
From the home screen of the controller, press “CONTROL”, Then choose either “POWER” to control the
equipment, or “LIGHTS” to control the Pool or Spa Lights.
If you press “POWER” the first item of equipment will be displayed and you can use the arrow buttons to

4.3 Connecting a Connect LITE to a Connect LITE+ system
If more than 4 lights are required, a Connect LITE can be connected into a Connect LITE+ system.
The Connect LITE is plugged into a separate 240 VAC outlet (Not one of the Connect LITE+’s outlets) and an
RJ12 data cable is connected between the Connect LITE and the Connect LITE+.
The lights that are connected to the Connect LITE can operate in either Lighting Zone 1 or Lighting Zone 2
depending on the DIP Switch setup of the Connect LITE. (See also Connect LITE installation Instructions).
Up to 4 Connect LITE’s can be connected to a Connect LITE+, giving a total of 20 Lights. All of these lights can be
in the same Zone, or they can be spread across both zones.
4.4 Connecting a Touch Screen to a Connect LITE+ system
The Connect LITE+ can be controlled by an AstralPool Touchscreen.
If a Touchscreen is connected into the system, then the Touchscreen will take over control of the system. i.e. Use
the Touchscreens In-built Timers to control the system and control the Connect LITE+ through the RJ12 cable.
The Touchscreen should be set up as 4 Channels and 1 or 2 Zones for Lighting.
If a Viron or EQ chlorinator is used, it should be set to “Timer Not Enabled”, “G4 System Installed” etc and Channel
1 on the Touchscreen should be set to “Filter Pump”. (Channels 2& 3 are then set to control the two 240VAC
outlets in the Connect LITE+ and Channel 4 should be configured as “Unused”)
NB. There are a number of Touchscreen options that are not available on a Connect LITE+ system such as No
Solar Control, No Valve control and no Customisable Switches. Other features such as Heating can be included in
a Connect LITE+ system.
4.5 Connecting a “Touchscreen Transceiver” or “Cable Free Extender” to a
Connect LITE+ system
If a Touchscreen or an Internet Gateway is required in the system and an RJ12 cable can’t be run to it, a
“Touchscreen Transceiver” or “Cable Free Extender” (Part # 10016) can be utilised. Follow section 4.2 above to
determine the Network ID of your Connect LITE+ and then on the Touchscreen press “Set up”, then “Configure
Wireless”. Enter Code 1,2,3,4 and then press “Install Transceivers” and then “Install Fixed Transceivers”, press
“Next” and then use the keypad to enter the Connect LITE+’s Network ID.
The “Touchscreen Transceiver” or “Cable Free Extender” then needs to be connected to the Touchscreen via an
RJ12 cable to transfer the Network ID. Once it is connected, press “Next” and the code will be transferred.
The Touchscreen on screen instructions can then be followed to test the Transceiver.
4.6 Connecting an “Internet Gateway” to a Connect LITE+ system
An Internet Gateway can be connected to a Connect LITE+ system. An RJ12 cable needs to be run to the Internet
Gateway and then the Internet Gateway can connect to the Internet via a WiFi or Ethernet Connection to enable
control of your Connect LITE+ from your Smart Phone or Tablet.
The installation of the Internet Gateway is a simple three stage process. Follow these instructions carefully and
you will have instant access to control your Connect LITE+, no matter where you are: in your house, on the way
home from work, or on the way to your holiday home.
Stage 1: install the hardware and connect to your home Wi-Fi or internet Router.
Stage 2: register your pool owner’s details and any other authorised users at www.connectmypool.com
Stage 3: Download the ConnectMyPool App from the Apple App store or Android Play Store
Stage 1 –Installing the hardware and connecting to your home Wi-Fi or Internet Router.
The most common way of connecting the ‘Internet Gateway’ (Part # 10030) to the internet via a home Wi-Fi
connection is shown below. Wherever possible though, it is always recommended to connect via Ethernet cable.
Use of a “Touchscreen Transceiver” or “Cable Free Extender” (Part # 10016) are recommended for retrofitting
control system to existing pool system, or where cable installation is impossible. If area is known to have poor Wi-
Fi or reception quality, then Ethernet installation is highly recommended.
In all cases the internet connection must be permanently connected to a broadband internet service. (The Internet
Gateway cannot be connected via a mobile ‘hotspot’ or similar).
Prior to commencing the installation, the location of the home Wi-Fi transmitter (or host computer if using an
Ethernet connection) must be determined along with the Wi-Fi Network name and Wi-Fi Password or Passcode.

Inst.419 Astral Pool Connect LITE+ Instructions V08-20
10
Each Internet Gateway is labelled with its own unique Internet Gateway Serial number. Also within the packaging
of the Internet Gateway is the unique Internet Gateway Passcode. This label will be required to register the
Internet Gateway onto the internet and needs to be retained by the pool owner.
The home Wi-Fi signal strength can initially be observed using a mobile phone as a guide. As a reliable connection
is essential, it is important to find a position that has a strong Wi-Fi signal. The Internet Gateway has a reset button
in its base, as well as LEDs that will assist when determining the final position for installation. Once an
approximate position is determined, the ‘Internet Gateway’ Can be connected to a loose RJ12 cable until the
location with best signal strength is found.
Base (underneath) of Internet Gateway
After connecting the Internet Gateway to the Pool System the Home Wi-Fi can be configured. This is achieved
using the Touch Screen
1. On the Touchscreen, go to ‘Setup’.
2. Use the arrows to scroll pages, and then press on the ‘Internet Gateway’ button.
3. You are now shown the main Internet Gateway Diagnostics page. This page allows you to configure the
Wi-Fi settings. On this page the Internet Serial Number is also displayed. If the serial number is shown as ‘???’,
then the Touchscreen cannot communicate with the Internet Gateway. (Refer to troubleshooting before continuing)

Inst.419 Astral Pool Connect LITE+ Instructions V08-20
11
4. You are now shown the ‘Configure Wi-Fi’ page. This page allows you to configure the Wi-Fi settings.
5. If Your WiFi Router is “WPS” compliant, follow your Routers instructions for WPS set up. (Usually press
the WPS button on the Router) and then press the “Join with WPS” button on the Touchscreen. If WPS is not
available, then press the “Scan” button on the Touchscreen. This will then scan for available networks. Select the
appropriate WiFi network from the list and then enter the Passphrase/Password. (Alternatively, from the Configure
WiFi screen you can press ‘Set network’ and use the Backspace button to remove the ‘Your Name’ text and then
use the keyboard to enter the name of your home Wi-Fi connection.) Similarly use the ‘Set passphrase’ key to set
the passphrase/password of your home Wi-Fi connection. NB Network names and Passphrases are case
sensitive- make sure you enter them correctly and exactly otherwise system will not connect to network.
6. From the ‘Configure Wi-Fi’ screen, press the ‘Back’ button to go back to the ‘Internet Gateway
Diagnosis’ screen and then press the ‘View Network Status’ button to check the signal strength. It will take a few
minutes to connect to the Wi-Fi, but at the end of the connection process the screen should show that the
connection is Enabled, Initialized and Linked. It should also show the home IP address and the Wireless Signal
strength. (Wi-Fi) The Wi-Fi signal strength should be 29 or greater. If it is less than 29 the Internet Gateway should
be moved closer to the Home Wi-Fi source to ensure reliable and stable connection.
If the Wi-Fi signal strength is 29 or greater, the Internet Gateway can be mounted in position.

4.7 Registering “Pool Owner” and authorised “Users” of the Pool App
In order to activate the ConnectMyPool App you must register the pool’s owner. The Pool Owner will
have authority to access applicable functions in the Viron Connect 10 Pool and Spa controller and also
delegate access to other users –which may be other members of the family or your pool service
technician.
It is important that the actual Pool Owner is the registered Pool Owner. This ensures that the Pool Owner
and his family are given access to the ConnectMyPool App and control of the pool and NOT the installer
or service technician.
To register to be a Pool Owner and use the Pool App, owners need to have a valid email address and to
have purchased an Internet Gateway (Part #10030) which comes with a unique serial number and
passcode.
Registration needs to be done on a desktop or Laptop computer (ie not a mobile phone or tablet) and is
initialized by visiting http://connectmypool.com in your website browser
The following screen will then be visible:
Clicking on ‘Register Here’ will then bring up the User Registration page:
All fields in the User Registration need to be filled out. The email address supplied must be a valid email
address as an email with a link in it will be sent to this address.
The Password is used by the Pool Owner to access the App.
In a latter process, other users can be allocated access to this pool. They will be able to use their own
password to access the App.
After this is filled in and ‘Next’is pressed, the Pool Registration page is shown:
The ‘Internet Gateway’s’unique Serial Number and Passcode must
now be entered. This is found on the registration sticker inside the box
and must be kept by the pool owner. This information has been
included as an adhesive label for convenience to consumer and also for

Inst.419 Astral Pool Connect LITE+ Instructions V08-20
13
security reasons.
The Pool Name that is entered on this page will be displayed on the App. If you plan to be able to log
into more than one pool, then the name should describe which pool you are wanting to control.
e.g. For this registration you may name the pool ‘Jones Home’ and for a second Pool Registration it may
be named ‘Jones Beach’ . Once your first Pool has been registered, the second pool can be entered later
by logging onto your existing account, (using a desktop computer) through the ‘Settings’ tab. And ‘Add
Pool’.
The Pool Street address and Post Code is used to identify the Pool Location and provide weather
information for the area around the pool.
After pressing the ‘Submit’ button above, an email should be delivered to your Email Address. This
email will contain a link that you need to press to confirm and complete the registration process.
NB. Some providers may interpret this email as Junk. If you don't receive an email within a few minutes
please check your Junk email folder.
After completing registration, it is necessary to log out. Wait 10 minutes and log back in with the user
name/email and password you created. The system should now have configured itself and you will
have access to the programming that has already been completed on your Connect 10 touch screen.
After the system has configured itself you can proceed to add more users to your pool if required. This
can allow all your family members with a Smart Phone or Tablet to also access the pool and control
remotely, or possibly allow your pool technician to monitor your pool water chemistry.
To let additional people access your pool controller press ‘SETTINGS’, then ‘User List’, then ‘Add User’.
After pressing ‘Add User’ you will be prompted to enter the new user’s name and email address along
with their password.
Once a User is added, their ability to access different features can be setup using the ‘Screen
Configuration’ button. (On the ‘User List’ page).
This feature allows the Pool Owner to grant user access to specific features only. For example if the pool
has heating, the pool owner can restrict a user from changing the temperature etc.

Inst.419 Astral Pool Connect LITE+ Instructions V08-20
14
In addition, the new User once added, will receive an email which will require them to ‘confirm’ their
link to your pool and then download the Connectmypool.com app.
In certain circumstances, you may wish to give access to service people or guests. They can be added to
the User list as above and their access can be deleted later if desired.
Other features on the ‘Settings’ page include the ability to add another pool to your App. To do this you
need to purchase a separate Internet Gateway and connect it to the new pool. Remember to make the
new pool name descriptive so that you can easily see which pool you are controlling. (On the App,
tapping the pool name will bring up a list of your available pools if you have more than one.
4.8 Downloading the “ConnectMyPool” App to your Smart Phone or Tablet
Go to the Apple App Store or Android Play Store and search for ConnectMyPool to download and Install
the App. Enter the user name/email address and password you registered as the Pool Owner or
authorised ‘User’.
Click on the ConnectMyPool icon and the application will start. Log in using the username and password
that was set up during registration

4.9 Internet Gateway Troubleshooting
To confirm that the Internet Gateway is able to connect to the ConnectMyPool servers, follow these steps.
1. On the Touchscreen, go to ‘Setup’.
2. Use the arrows to scroll pages, and then press on the ‘Internet Gateway’ button.
3. You are now shown the main Internet Gateway Diagnostics page. This page shows you the serial number of the ‘Internet
Gateway’, as well as allowing you to perform further configuration or diagnostics.
If the serial number is shown as ‘???’, then the Touchscreen cannot communicate with the Internet Gateway.
Check that the Internet Gateway is plugged in to the pool system, using normal flat-cable RJ12 connection, and
that the plugs of the RJ12 cable have the correct orientation.
4. Press the ‘View Network Status’ button. This page shows you the status of the two network connections of which the
Internet Gateway can make use. The information can be refreshed with the ‘Refresh’ button.
The Internet Gateway can use either wired (Ethernet) or wireless (Wi-Fi) connection. The status of each is shown in the
table.
If the table is filled with ‘?’, then the Touchscreen cannot communicate with the Internet Gateway. Check that
the Internet Gateway is plugged in to the pool system, using normal flat-cable RJ12 connection, and that the
plugs of the RJ12 cable have the correct orientation.
In most cases, the Internet Gateway will only be using one of the two connection methods. To confirm that the Internet
Gateway has a proper network connection, the following is required for either the Ethernet or Wireless connection:
The ‘Linked’ field for the appropriate connection method must be ‘Yes’; and,
The IP address must NOT be ‘0.0.0.0’.

In the image shown above, the Ethernet connection indicates that it is operating correctly, whilst the Wireless connection
shows that it is not operating.
In the image above, the Ethernet connection is no longer operating correctly, as the ‘Linked’ field shows ‘No’.
Troubleshooting The Ethernet Connection
‘Initialized’ shows ‘No’
The Internet Gateway was unable to initialize the Ethernet connection. Cycle power to the Internet
Gateway and wait 1 minute to allow for re-initialization. If the problem persists, call AstralPool for
support.
‘Linked’ shows ‘No’
Check that the Ethernet cable is correctly connected to both the Internet Gateway and the pool
owner’s home network hub (router).
Check the orange light beside the Internet Gateway’s Ethernet connection; if it is illuminated, the
Ethernet connection is present and there may be a problem with the router or internal security of the
home network. Call network support to clarify issue. If network connection ok and the problem
persists, call AstralPool for support on 1300 244 414
Troubleshooting The Wireless Connection
‘Initialized’ shows ‘No’
The Internet Gateway was unable to initialize the Wireless connection. Cycle power to the Internet
Gateway and wait 1 minute to allow for re-initialization. Check all connections and signal strength ok.
If the problem persists, call AstralPool for support.
‘Linked’ shows ‘No’
The Internet Gateway was unable to connect to the pool owner’s wireless network. Verify that the
network name and passphrase have been correctly configured by re-entering them into the
Touchscreen. Allow the Internet Gateway 30 seconds to attempt connection to the home network
before proceeding.
Cycle power to the Internet Gateway and wait 1 minute to allow for re-initialization. If the problem
persists, call AstralPool for support.
IP Address shows ‘0.0.0.0’
The most common cause is that the Internet Gateway is right on the fringe of wireless range. Try
moving the Internet Gateway closer to the pool owner’s wireless router, then cycle power to the
Internet Gateway to cause re-initialization. Ideally, the strength should be shown as 29 or greater.
If the problem persists, consider changing from Wireless to Ethernet connection types.
5. Return to the main Internet Gateway Diagnostics screen by pressing ‘Back’.
6. Press the ‘View Server Connection Status’ button. This page shows you that status of the connection between the
Internet Gateway and the connectmypool server.

Inst.419 Astral Pool Connect LITE+ Instructions V08-20
17
If the status is shown as ‘?’, then the Touchscreen cannot communicate with the Internet Gateway. Check that
the Internet Gateway is plugged in to the pool system, using normal flat-cable RJ12 connection, and that the
plugs of the RJ12 cable have the correct orientation.
The ‘status’ field will show a numerical code and a text explanation. See the table below for more information. The two most
common codes you will see are 32769 and 61440. These codes indicate that the connection to the server is open/closed
normally. Other codes may indicate a fault condition, or be ‘connection in progress’ codes.
If you need to update the information on the screen, press ‘Refresh’. If you wish to force the Internet Gateway to
recommence the connection sequence, press ‘Reconnect’. Note that the internet Gateway will periodically attempt
reconnection automatically (typically 30 seconds, but the pool owner can adjust this through the ConnectMyPool website).
Code
Text
Meaning
0
Idle
The IG has not yet attempted to connect to the server. Wait for the IG to
automatically connect, or press ‘Reconnect’ to force a connection attempt.
32768
Connection open
The connection to the server is open, but no communication has yet been
received. If this state persists for more than 30 seconds, please call AstralPool for
support.
32769
Communicating with server
The connection is open and the Internet Gateway is communicating normally
with the ConnectMyPool server. This is not a fault state; this is normal
operation.
61440
Connection closed
The connection to the ConnectMyPool server was closed as part of normal
operation. This is not a fault state; the IG will automatically reconnect shortly.
256
No suitable interfaces ready
The Internet Gateway is unable to connect to the internet because none of its
interfaces (Ethernet or Wireless) are operating correctly. Return to the receding
troubleshooting steps to confirm that at least one of the network interfaces is
operating correctly.
513
DNS resolve error
The Internet Gateway was unable to determine the IP address (internet address)
of the ConnectMyPool server. The most likely cause is that the pool owner’s
internet connection has failed. Verify that the home internet connection is still
operating.
769
Internal error creating local socket
The Internet Gateway has suffered an internal error. Cycle power to the Internet
Gateway; if the problem persists, call AstralPool for support.
1024
Connecting to server
The Internet Gateway is trying to connect. If this state persists for more than 30
seconds, call AstralPool for support.
1025
Failed to connect
The Internet Gateway was unable to connect to the ConnectMyPool server. The
most likely cause is that the pool owner’s internet connection has failed. Try to
verify that the home internet connection is still operating. If the problem
persists, cycle power to the Internet Gateway. Call AstralPool for further support
if required.
61441,
61442,
61443,
61444
The connection to the ConnectMyPool server has been closed due to various
errors. One cause is the loss of the pool owner’s internet connection. Try to
verify that the home internet connection is still operating. Press ‘Reconnect’, and
wait for the IG to attempt to reconnect to the ConnectMyPool server. If you
continue to get these error codes, call AstralPool for support.
Others
There are other status codes that won’t be detailed here. If the Internet Gateway
gets “stuck” on one of them, call AstralPool for more details.

Internet Gateway Status Lights
The image below shows the bottom view of the Internet Gateway module.
The Internet Gateway has three main status lights.
The ‘Alive’ status light flashes once every two seconds to indicate that the module is powered and operating correctly.
The ‘Connected’ status light provides information about whether the Internet Gateway is/was able to connect to the
ConnectMyPool servers.
When this connected light is off, the Internet Gateway has not yet attempted to connect to the ConnectMyPool
servers (such as just after powering up).
When this light is solidly illuminated (not flashing), then the Internet Gateway is currently connected to the
ConnectMyPool servers.
When this light is flashing, the Internet Gateway is no longer connected to the ConnectMyPool servers. If it is giving
a single flash, then the connection to the servers was closed normally. If it is giving a double-flash, then the
connection to the servers was terminated due to an error.
The ‘Wi-Fi’ light indicates the status of the wireless connection. When this light is off, there is no wireless connection. When
this light is lit, it means that the Internet Gateway is properly connected to the pool owner’s Wi-Fi network. It will blink
briefly when the Internet Gateway is sending or receiving information over the wireless network. Please note that this
indicator is only giving the status of the local connection to the wireless network. The status for the connection to the
ConnectMyPool servers is still given by the ‘Connected’ indicator.
The Ethernet connector has two in-built indicators. The orange indicator is illuminated when the Ethernet connection is
properly connected to the pool owner’s Ethernet network. Please note that this indicator is only giving the status of the local
connection to the Ethernet network. The status for the connection to the ConnectMyPool servers is still given by the
‘Connected’ indicator. The green indicator blinks when there is data being sent or received on the Ethernet network.

MAINTENANCE OF YOUR CONTROLLER
Maintenance Schedule: Your new product incorporates parts to with stand high velocity water with chemicals in it.
Some of these parts will wear in the normal course of use and require regular checks and maintenance. Performing
these checks and maintenance will identify parts that have worn and require repair/replacement before further serious
damage is sustained. A small amount of regular care and attention to your pool equipment will help ensure long life
and trouble free performance.
To protect against extremes of temperature, your unit is vented to allow expensive electronics to cool.
Ants and some insects are often attracted to the warmer, dry environment inside the enclosure. We
recommend that, with power turned off, you spray a surface insecticide on the surfaces surrounding the
control to prevent ant and insect ingress. Repeat every three months or as necessary.
