PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS
Recommended Hydraulic Schematic
Plumb system in accordance with recommended hydraulic schematic, local codes and the following guidelines.
Bring all lines back to the equipment pad:
1. Spa should be at or above the level of the pool. If spa is attached to pool, provide a dam between the two bodies
of water and allow spa overflow into pool. If spa is not attached to pool, an overflow, sufficient in size to carry
full pump-flow, must be installed between spa and pool.
2. Plumb a 3-port Freedom Valve on the suction-side of the filter pump, so that center port of valve is connected to
the pump inlet. Connect spa suction to one side of Intake Valve, and pool suction to the other side.
3. Plumb a 3-port Freedom Valve on the output-side of the heater, so that return water will enter valve through the
center port. Connect spa return to one port, and pool return to the other.
4. A ¾” spa makeup line (incorporating a ¾” manual gate or ball valve and, for elevated spas, a ¾” check valve)
may be provided to bypass the pool return line. This will enable some of the pool water to cycle through the spa,
thus keeping it chemically balanced with the pool. The manual valve will allow the amount of bypass to be
adjusted.
5. If an optional Spa-Side Remote is to be used, install a 6” to 12” length of 1½” Sch. 40 pvc pipe above water level
in the spa wall so that the Spa-Side Remote will not be submerged. This can be done by positioning the top of
the 1 ½” pipe ½” below the coping. The pipe should be perpendicular to the spa wall and protrude beyond the
finished surface of the spa. It will be cut back at a later date. Outside the spa, reduce the pipe size down to ½” or
¾” conduit, and run to proposed Lx3000 Power Center location at equipment pad. Use sweep elbows for turns.
The Spa-Side Remote should not be installed until spa construction is complete.

6. For systems which incorporate a skimmer, it is possible to balance the amount of suction between the skimmer
and main drain for maintenance purposes. This is easily accomplished by installing a manual 3-port Freedom
Valve at the suction line. Plumb one port to the skimmer and the other to the main drain.
7. If a “booster pump” type pool cleaner is being used, plumb the pump so that its suction-side is connected to the
pool return, after the heater and as close to the ground as practical.
8. A motorized 3-port Freedom Valve can be installed to create a waterfall from the return line. This enables a
waterfall effect to occur whenever the filter pump is running, and eliminates the need for a separate pump.
9. For systems which utilize solar panels, plumb the solar feed and return lines between the filter and heater, and
install a motorized 3-port Compool Solar Valve at the solar feed line. Provide a vacuum relief valve at the
highest point of the solar panel array, and a ½ lb. spring check valve at the solar return line. Use Compool Solar
Valve (model SOL-2T), to allow the panels to automatically drain whenever the filter pump is not running.
10. For solar systems with very long plumbing runs, or where panels are installed at a very high elevation (higher
than reasonable head pressure of filter pump), a solar booster pump should be installed at the solar feed line. The
motorized Solar Valve should always be used in conjunction with this pump, except where the vertical elevation
of panels above pool water level exceeds 25 feet.
11. For solar systems with glazed panels, plumb a ½” motorized Solar Drain Valve (model HW-5B) from the solar
feed line, through a check valve, to a zero psi point (such as a jet air intake or pool fill line). Do not connect it to
pump suction. This will enable the panels to automatically drain whenever the solar turns off, even if the filter
pump is still running. This prevents possible scaling of panels and damage from overheating. The Solar Drain
Valve (model HW-5B) should also be used for solar systems which do not facilitate gravity drainage of panels
(i.e.: where solar plumbing crosses the ridge of the roof).
EQUIPMENT LOCATION
With the exception of the Spa-Side Remote (which is UL Listed for installation right at the tile-line of the spa), all
equipment must be located five feet or more from the water’s edge.
1. Lx3000 Power Center at the equipment site.
2. Cp3000 Controller inside the house or other weather-protected area.
3. CVA-24 Valve Actuator(s) at valve(s) to be motorized.
4. TS-5L Water Temperature Sensor at the filter pump.
5. TS-5L Solar Temperature Sensor at solar panels (where applicable).
6. Spa-Side Remote (optional) at spa wall or decking.

HIGH VOLTAGE WIRING
SUB-PANEL
At the equipment site, install an electrical sub-panel with separate breakers for each load. Circuit breakers should be
readily accessible to the pool/spa user, but installed at least 5 feet from the water’s edge.
Note: It is possible to install system without a sub-panel.
Lx3000 POWER CENTER
Lx3000
1. Select a convenient location to mount the Lx3000 Power Center. Ensure that the location is greater than 5 feet
from the water’s edge and no further than 15 feet from any motorized valves (otherwise Valve Actuator cables
will need to be extended).
2. Mount the Lx3000 on a flat surface using appropriate screws through the three external mounting points located
on the side of the enclosure.
Caution: Do not drill and mount from inside the enclosure.
3. Remove the three service panel screws in right-side of Lx3000 to expose the high voltage compartment.

SYSTEM POWER
1. Provide a separate circuit breaker to power the system. Either 115 or 230 VAC can be used (115 VAC is
preferable). The Cp3000 system draws less than 1 amp.
Caution: Incorrect system wiring will cause permanent damage to the transformer.
2. Verify that the breaker will open all ungrounded supply conductors to comply with section 422-20 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1987.
3. Run appropriate wires from circuit breaker to high voltage compartment of Lx3000, and connect to top terminal
block in accordance with wiring label, which is marked “SYSTEM POWER”. The diagram above shows system
wired for 115 volts.
4. For 115 VAC, connect to Screw Terminals #2 and #3.

EQUIPMENT POWER
1. Install circuit breakers to provide voltage for power relays at R1 through R4. Run appropriate wires from
breakers to high voltage compartment of Lx3000, and connect to LINE 1 and LINE 2 Screw Terminals at each
terminal block.
2. Pumps and other high voltage equipment are connected to LOAD 1 and LOAD 2 terminals. Each individual
terminal block can be wired to operate either 115 or 230 VAC.
3. Connect the high voltage equipment to LOAD 1 and LOAD 2 terminals at each terminal block. The diagram
above shows the high voltage wiring of a 230 VAC filter pump.
4. If the system is to control a pool cleaner pump, it should be connected to the R2 terminal block.
Note: For 115 VAC equipment, only half of the terminal block needs to be used (i.e.: LINE 1 and LOAD 1). The
neutral wire connects directly from the sub panel to the equipment.
ADDING RELAYS
The Cp3000 system comes standard with 4 power relays for activating the Filter Pump, Aux1, Aux2 and Aux3 circuits.
It is possible to install additional Relay Kits (model RLY-LX) to the Lx3000, in order to activate additional equipment.
Install RLY-LX in accordance with instructions provided, and plug relay control wire into Lx3000 circuit board at
appropriate Relay Socket. The Lx3000 Power Center will accommodate a maximum of 7 power relays.

SYSTEM OPTIONS
SPA-SIDE REMOTE
SS4-100W
The optional Spa-Side Remote (model SS4-100W) is a double-insulated device which is UL Listed for installation
within 5 feet of the water’s edge. It is typically installed at the tile-line on the spa wall (above water level), or in the
deck within arm’s reach of the spa. If the Spa-Side Remote is to be installed into the wall of a gunite spa, provision
must be made while the spa is being plumbed (See PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS for details):
1. When the spa construction is completed, cut back the 1½” dia. pvc pipe receptacle flush with the spa wall finish
or surface of deck.
2. Screw Mounting Adapter onto Spa-Side Remote, and finger-tighten. Caution: Do not use wrench.
3. Thread Spa-Side Remote cable through conduit to low-voltage compartment of Lx3000.
4. Carefully glue Mounting Adapter into 1½” pvc receptacle using pvc cement. For aesthetic purposes, it is
suggested that the Spa-Side Remote be installed with Red button in the 12 o’clock position.
5. At the Lx3000, identify the 6-conductor cable from the Spa-Side Remote, and cutoff excess cable as necessary.
Strip insulation of each conductor ¼" and connect to appropriate Screw Terminals at bottom of circuit board in
accordance with wiring diagram:
6. Connect Black wire (Switch Common) to GND Screw Terminal.
7. Connect Orange (Status Lamp) to HLMP Screw Terminal.
8. Determine which 4 of the following circuits you wish to control from within the spa, and connect Red (Red
button), Yellow (Yellow button), Green (Green button) and Blue (Blue button) wires to the appropriate Screw
Terminals (see LX3000 CIRCUIT BOARD for details):
• SPA Rotates intake and return valves, and activates filter pump and heater.

A set of adhesive labels is provided for custom identification of individual Spa-Side Remote buttons. Use a pair of
fine-tip tweezers to carefully adhere the appropriate label at each button.
2-SPEED FILTER PUMP CONTROL
If the system is equipped with a 2-Speed Filter Pump, a 2-Speed Filter Pump Relay Kit (model RLY-LXD) should be
installed at the Power Center in accordance with instructions provided.
There are three ways to configure the 2-Speed Filter Pump control:
1. Automatic configuration:
The system will run the filter pump in “low speed” during normal operation, but will automatically switch the pump
to “high speed” for 5 minutes whenever the filter pump turns on.
It is additionally possible to activate the pump in “high speed” whenever the spa, heater, solar and/or Aux1 (pool
cleaner) is running. To enable the pump to run in “high speed” during these conditions, it is necessary to adjust the 4-
position HI SPD Program Switch, which is located at top center of Lx3000 circuit board. Use the corner of a small
screwdriver or other blunt instrument to slide the appropriate Switch(es) to the ON position:
Switch #1: Enables high speed when spa is running.
Switch #2: Enables high speed when heater is running.
Switch #3: Enables high speed when solar system is running.
Switch #4: Enables high speed when Aux1 (pool cleaner) is running.
Connect RLY-LXD relay control wire into 2SPD Relay Socket.
2. Manual configuration:
The system will run the filter pump in “low speed” during normal operation, but will switch the pump to “high speed”
when an Auxiliary Circuit is activated.
Select an Auxiliary Circuit (Aux1 - Aux6), and connect RLY-LXD control wire into the appropriate Relay Socket.
3. Combined configuration:
The “high speed” is controlled by an Auxiliary Circuit and the HI-SPD Program Switch. Use Dual Circuit Relay
Adapter (model CRA-LX) to connect RLY-LXD relay control wire into an Auxiliary Relay Socket and into 2SPD
Relay Socket.
AUXILIARY VALVE ACTUATORS
MOD-VLV3
It is possible to add Valve Actuators (model CVA-24) to the system to motorize two-port or three-port valves for
custom hydraulic features (such as a pool cleaner, fountain, waterfall, etc.). A total of three Valve Actuators may be
added. Valve Actuators can be activated from any Circuit.
1. Install Auxiliary Valve Module (model MOD-VLV3) at the Lx3000 low voltage compartment in accordance with

5. Locate Wiring Harnesses, which are provided with the Valve Module.
6. Select which Circuit(s) you wish to use for activating Valve Actuator(s). Each Circuit will require a Wiring
Harness.
7. Plug one end of Wiring Harness into Lx3000 circuit board at the appropriate Relay Socket.
8. Plug other end of Wiring Harness into MOD-VLV3 at appropriate CONTROL JUMPERS Socket.
9. To combine the operation of VLV1 with VLV2 and/or VLV2 with VLV3, adjust the COMBINED VALVES
Program Switch (at upper left-side of MOD-VLV3) accordingly.
HIGH VOLTAGE THERMOSTAT HEATER
For systems which utilize a high voltage thermostat, such as an oil fired heater, electric heater, or heat pump, a Relay
Kit (model RLY-LX) should be added.
1. Install RLY-LX at the Lx3000 in accordance with instructions provided, and plug relay control wire onto circuit
board at EHTR Relay Socket. The relay will close whenever the Cp3000 is calling for heat.
2. Splice thermostat wiring inside heater and run wires of sufficient gauge to Line 1 and Load 1 of RLY-LX relay
terminal block.
FREEZE PROTECTION SETTINGS
It is possible to automatically circulate water through the equipment whenever the temperature drops to 35° F. This
will protect the equipment against possible freeze damage.
The Control System uses the Water Temperature Sensor to detect freezing conditions, so a separate Freeze Sensor is
not required.
It is, however, necessary to adjust the 7-position FREEZ PROT Program Switch, which is located at top center of
Lx3000 circuit board. Determine which equipment you would like to activate during freezing conditions, and use the
corner of a small screwdriver or other blunt instrument to slide the appropriate Switch(es) to the ON position:
Switch #1: Activates FLTR (filter pump) during freezing conditions.
Switch #2: Activates AUX1 during freezing conditions.
Switch #3: Activates AUX2 during freezing conditions.
Switch #4: Activates AUX3 during freezing conditions.
Switch #5: Activates AUX4 during freezing conditions.
Switch #6: Activates AUX5 during freezing conditions.
Switch #7: Activates AUX6 during freezing conditions.
When Freeze Mode starts, the Cp3000 display will indicate “FRZ” and turn on any circuit that has been selected by
the FREEZ PROT Program Switch. Equipment key icons will not show “ON” if activated by the Freeze Mode.
Switch #1 additionally cycles the pool and spa for 15 minutes each. The Freeze Mode lasts for 30 minutes. Pressing
Installation

Compool Cp3000

any of the equipment keys on the Cp3000 controller will deactivate the Freeze Mode.
SOLAR TEMPERATURE SENSOR
If the system incorporates solar, install an optional Temperature Sensor (model TS-5L) at the solar panel array.
1. Adjust the 2-position Program Switch, which is located at top center of Lx3000 circuit board. Use the corner of
a small screwdriver or other blunt instrument to slide Switch #1 (SOLAR) to the ON position.
2. Discard clamp (included with TS-5L). Do not drill hole and clamp sensor into solar pipe. For unglazed
panels, fasten Sensor to surface next to solar panels. Do not bolt directly to panel. For glazed panels, suspend
Sensor between collector and glazing.
3. Provide 2-conductor cable between Solar Sensor and low voltage compartment of Lx3000 Power Center.
4. At the Sensor, pay attention to color-coding of wires (green wire connects to green; red wire connects to red), and
use crimp connectors (included) to provide waterproof connections. Before making connections, shorten sensor
leads to about 6”. Do not strip wires. Push the 2 wires to be connected into the small holes at one end of the
connector, and squeeze the cylinder with a pair of pliers. 2 additional connectors are included. It is
recommended to tape connections and wiring to prevent possible damage from UV radiation. Be sure to keep
wires separated.
5. At the Lx3000, connect cable from Solar Sensor to circuit board at STS- and STS+ Screw Terminals. Pay
attention to color-coding of wires (green wire connects to STS- and red wire connects to STS+).
Note: Infield calibration of temperature sensors is required. See CALIBRATING TEMPERATURE SENSORS for
details.
SOLAR BOOSTER PUMP CONTROL
If a solar booster pump is being used, install a Relay Kit (model RLY-LX) at the Lx3000 in accordance with
instructions provided, and plug onto circuit board at SOL PMP Relay Socket.
