MiniWarden/PoolWarden + (PLUS) Operation Manual • www.poolwardentraining.com • 6
, with over 25 years of technological leadership in Pool & Spa Chemical Control Systems,
congratulates you on your chemical controller selection. PoolWarden measures pH, sanitizer
and temperature on up to two bodies of water (MiniWarden one body of water) and will control the appropriate feed
equipment to keep the measurements within a preprogrammed range. Using ORP (oxidation reduction potential)
technology the control of sanitizer takes into account the effects of pH, and a pH lockout feature is also included for
high pH values. Supporting both 110 and 240 VAC to control chemical feed equipment using relays to keep the pool
or spa water in balance. Water measurements are taken continuously while internal relay programing determines if
chemical adjustments are needed. PoolWarden also contains additional dry-contact auxiliary relays that can be used
to control heaters, pumps, chlorine backup and external alarm notifications. The MiniWarden has the above features
except it is for one pool only and does not have auxiliary relays. The sanitizer relay on the MiniWarden can be
switched between VAC and dry contact.
System Components
tPlus CONTROLLER: Micro computer running the Linux operating system.
tINTERFACE: A 16-button built in keypad, and an easy to read 80 character liquid crystal display. The display’s
internal back-light provides controller viewing in pool rooms with low light conditions.
tMEMORY: Hard drive is 16 GB MicroSD which preserves all internal programming in case of power loss.
tRELAYS: PoolWarden S (single pool) includes 4 relays (2 of which are dry contact relays). PoolWarden
D (two pools) includes 8 relays. Four of the 8 relays are dry contact relays (2 for each body of water). MiniWarden
includes 2 relays - 1 for pH and 1 for ORP.
tSENSORS: ORP, pH, Temperature, flow and optional free chlorine.
tSECURITY: A lockable enclosure and three levels of password security protection (Admin, Service and Guest)
for both local onsite and remote offsite interaction with the controller.
tCOMMUNICATION: Connection to the Internet for direct monitoring, setup, and data interface via

Default Readings Screen
The Default Readings Screen is displayed after power up and when a
button isn’t pressed for 2 minutes. It is the most critical screen as it will
display the current pH & ORP sensor readings, flow status, relay status,
alarm status and various symbols that are defined below. Menus within
PoolWarden are accessed through the Default Readings Screen. Please
review definitions of all Row & Column information and symbols below.
Row 1 (Column Header): The first row is a column header and
defines what you find below that particular column header. Example:
The “pH” Column Header on the first row means that the current pH
readings for Pool 1 (7.7) and Pool 2 (7.5) are just below.
Row 2 (Current Measurements Pool1): The current real time
measurements and status for Pool 1. Example for Pool 1: ORP=681,
pH=7.7, Temperature (Tf) = 75 degrees Fahrenheit, Flow switch 1 is
ON. The “a” on the far right indicates that Pool1 is in alarm.
Row 3 (Current Measurements Pool2, PoolWarden only): The current real time measurements and
status for Pool 2. Example for Pool 2: PPM = 3.2, ORP = 695, pH = 7.5, Temperature (Tf) = 102
degrees Fahrenheit, Flow switch 3 is ON and the alarm is not on for Pool2.
Row 4 (Relay Status): Row 4 displays the current status of all the relays in the following order with
symbols that are defined below (RlyP1 = Pool1 and P2 = Pool 2);
qPoolWarden Dual: RlyP1: ORP1, pH1, Aux1, Aux2 P2: ORP2, pH2, Aux3, Aux4
qPoolWarden Single: RELAY: ORP1, pH1, Aux1, Aux2
qMiniWarden: RELAY: ORP1, pH1
q_ : An underline indicates the relay is OFF and not in an active feed cycle. If there is no underline
for the Aux relay then the relay isn’t setup for control.
q↑ : An Up arrow indicates the relay is ON and in an active feed cycle.
q↓ : A Down arrow indicates the relay is OFF and in the OFF part of an active cycle.
qo : An "o" indicates the relay has reached the on time limit (overfeed limit) for the
day and will not turn on again until the overfeed limit clears automatically each night at midnight.
Note that cycling the power doesn’t clear the overfeed time. Select Clear Overfeed Times in the
service menu to reset the timer.
s : An "s" indicates the relay has reached the setpoint overfeed limit and will not turn on again until
the setpoint is achieved by other means (manually adding the required chemicals). Select Clear
Overfeed Times in the service menu to reset the timer.
qThe letter ‘b’ next to an ORP reading indicates ORP is in pH lockout and the feature of feeding
sanitizer at a fixed rate of minutes per hour is on (not available with TrueDPD or MiniWarden).
qThe letter ‘p’ next to an ORP reading indicates ORP is in pH lockout and is off.
q
When the PoolWarden is turned on a time number will display on this line to the right which is a delay
before the relays will operate, the turn on delay gives time for accurate readings prior to controlling the
relays.
Other Symbols Defined:
qThe letter “a” on the right will display when the Pool alarm is on.
tFlow Status: The flow will either be ON or OFF with the standard flow sensor. Flow status for Pool 1
uses Flow 1 input for the sensor connection and Pool 2 uses Flow 3 input for the sensor connection on
the sensor circuit board. This cannot be changed.
qPool1: 1:2, Both flow switch 1 and 2 are on. 1:_, Flow switch 1 is on, 2 is off.
qMiniWarden with TrueDPD: 1:d, Flow switch 1 is on and 2 is used for TrueDPD commands.
qPool2 with TrueDPD: 3:d, Flow switch 3 is on and 4 is used for TrueDPD commands.
tPPM Display on Error: When the TrueDPD has an error the PPM is set to a high value so that it will
not start a sanitizer feed cycle. If that happens the PPM value will display as “—”.

tCalibration Pool1 and Pool2: Select the desired pool to calibrate and
scroll to the sensor to calibrate. Manual Pool Measurements must be
taken to calibrate each sensor. For best results the pool should be at the
setpoints when calibrating. The percentage to the right of the current
reading is the amount of calibration and if it is at 99% that sensor is at the
maximum calibration and may need to be replaced. When calibrating,
press Back or Down Arrow to cancel and Enter to save the new
calibration. The current value displayed in the calibration screens is the
un-calibrated sensor.
qpH: Enter the manually measured pH value. A pH sensor can be
calibrated +/- 2 pH units.
qORP: If the sanitizer level is higher than desired and the pH is at the
setpoint then raise the ORP calibration slightly. If the sanitizer level is
lower than desired and the pH is at the setpoint then lower the ORP
calibration slightly. The ORP sensor can be calibrated +/- 200 mV.
ORP sensors are affected by cyanuric acid, pH and other factors and it
may take a few days to get it adjusted.

tAcid Setpoint 7.5: The relay will turn on if the measured pH reading is greater than 7.5.
tBase Setpoint 0.0: The factory default setting is 0.0 (disabled). When set, the relay will turn on if the
measured pH reading is less than the value. Note: One of the two setpoints must be 0.0.
tOn Delay 00:00:20: The turn on delay requires the setpoint condition to be met for an extended period
of time before turning the relay on. The value 00:00:00 disables the on delay.
tMax Time On 00:00:30: When the relay turns on this is the maximum time before it turns off. If the pH
reading is not being maintained then more or less on time may be needed. The maximum time may be
less if the pH control span is used.
tMinTimeOff 00:05:00: This is the minimum amount of time the relay will be OFF after it was on. Allows
for chemical mixing.
tOff If RLY On -none: The default setting is none or disabled. This feature prevents 2 relays being on at
the same time. This is useful in cases where the chemical injection points are very close together and
prevents the pH relay from being on at the same time the ORP relay is on. Simply press Enter to toggle.
tOff if Flow Off - 1 or 3: The pH Relay will be turned off if “No Flow” is detected in Flow Switch Input 1
for Pool1 and if “No Flow” is detected in Flow Switch Input 3 for Pool2. Note: This setting can’t be
changed as it relates to safety, pressing the Right Arrow to change has no effect.
tSetOvrfeed 00:00:00: Setpoint overfeed requires the measurement to reach the setpoint to clear. If a
feed tube is broken and the chemicals are going on the floor this type of overfeed protection will detect
that and shut down the relay sooner than the daily overfeed. Calculate how much feed time is required
for the setpoint to be reached when the pH is a full point off. When the Setpoint Overfeed is reached the
relay status will display an “s”. The default value is 00:00:00 which is disabled, in order to use this feature
calculate the amount of time required and enter that time.
qSetpoint Overfeed can be cleared by manually fixing the chemical imbalance or clearing the overfeed
timers in the Service menu.
tOverfeed 01:00:00: The Overfeed time represents the maximum amount of time a relay can be on from
midnight to midnight. This must be set up properly to reduce the chance of feeding large amounts of
chemicals in the event something goes wrong and the default time will most likely need to be adjusted.

1. Calculate the total amount of chemical the pool would ever need in a 24 hour period.
2. Calculate the amount of time it would take the feed-pump to inject that total amount of chemical in
a 24 hours. Example: Limit to 1 gallon with a 10 Gallon Per Day (GPD) Fixed Rate Peristaltic
Pump. 1 Gallons / 10 Gallons * 24 Hours = 2.4 hours or 02:24:00. You will need to adjust for
variable pumps depending on the variable pump setting. Most variable pumps use a scale of 10 to
0. So if the pump is set on 8 then use 80% of the total GDP rate, in this case .80 x 10 GPD = 8
GPD.
3. Calculate the overfeed time with the following equation using the following example…..
Overfeed Time = (Daily Gallon Limit) / (Pump GPD Rate) times (24 Hours)

TrueDPD is enabled there will be PPM commands.
tManual Time 00:02:00: Is the amount of time you can set a relay to turn
on manually.
tORP Control Span: Press Enter to cycle between 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50
mv. If the measurement is less than the span below the setpoint then the
relay will be on for the full on time and if in between the setpoint and the
span the on time will be proportionately decreased. If the measurement is
greater than the setpoint the relay will be off. Span control helps to prevent
chemical overshoot.
tPPM Control Span: Press Enter to cycle between 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0
ppm. If the measurement is less than the span below the setpoint then the
relay will be on for the full on time and if in between the setpoint and the
span the on time will be proportionately decreased. If the measurement is
greater than the setpoint the relay will be off. Span control helps to prevent
chemical overshoot. If both PPM and ORP spans are used, the higher
calculated on time will be used.
tORP Setpoint 700: The relay will turn on if the ORP is less than 700.
tpH Lockout 0.0: The pH Lockout default setting is zero “0” or disabled.
ORP is highly dependant on pH. A high pH reduces the effectiveness of
the sanitizer and has a direct effect on lowering the ORP even though
there may be an ample amount of sanitizer in the water. pH Lockout helps
to prevent chlorine overfeed. A typical pH Lockout setting is 8.0 and will
lockout (keep from turning on) the ORP relay when pH reaches 8.0 or
higher. This command doesn’t effect the PPM setpoint. In the setup menu
a feed time in minutes per hour can be selected to allow some feeding of
sanitizer during pH lockout, this feature is only available if the TrueDPD
isn’t enabled.
tPPM Setpoint 2.0: The relay will turn on if the measured PPM is less than
2.0. As a Safety the PPM must also not be 0.0. If the DPD reagent is out
or something is wrong with the TrueDPD it may measure 0.0.

tMax Time On 00:01:00: When the relay turns on this is the maximum time before it turns off. If the
sanitizer level is not being maintained then more or less on time may be needed. The maximum time
may be less if the sanitizer span is used. Use Max Time On for liquid sanitizer.
tMin Time On 00:00:00: This is the minimum amount of time the relay will be ON if the measurement is
below the setpoint. Use this command for salt water chlorine generators and chlorinators. With this type
of on time, when the relay turns on it will be on until the setpoint is reached and for at least the on time
specified. Span isn’t used. Note: Max Time On and Min Time On can’t both be 00:00:00 and one is
required to be 00:00:00.

MiniWarden/PoolWarden + (PLUS) Operation Manual • www.poolwardentraining.com • 18
tMinTimeOff 00:05:00: This is the total amount the relay will be OFF in the off part of the cycle and is
part of the mixing time. This command can’t be disabled.
tPPM High Limit 0.0: Prevents feeding sanitizer if the PPM reading reaches a high value.
tORP High Limit 0: Prevents feeding sanitizer if the ORP reading reaches a high value.
tOff if Flow Off - 1 or 3: The ORP Relay will be turned off if “No Flow” is detected in Flow Switch Input
1 for Pool1 and if “No Flow” is detected in Flow Switch Input 3 for Pool2. Note: This setting can’t be
changed.
tSetOvrfeed 00:00:00: Setpoint overfeed requires the measurement to reach the setpoint to clear. If a
feed tube is broken and the chemicals are going on the floor this type of overfeed protection will detect
that and shut down the relay sooner than the daily overfeed. Calculate how much feed time is required
for the setpoint to be reached starting from 0. When the Setpoint Overfeed is reached the relay status
will display an “s”. The default value is 00:00:00 which is disabled, in order to use this feature calculate
the amount of time required and enter that time.
qSetpoint Overfeed can be cleared by manually fixing the chemical imbalance or clearing the
overfeed timers in the Service menu.
tOverfeed 01:00:00: The Overfeed time represents the maximum amount of time a chemical relay will
feed in a day from midnight to midnight. This must be set up properly to reduce the chance of feeding
large amounts of chemicals in the event something goes wrong. The default time will most likely not be
correct. Please follow the calculation below. The minimum value for Overfeed time is 1 minute, it can’t
be disabled.
qCalculate the total amount of chemical the pool would ever need in a 24 hour period. (Example: 10
Gallons would be the MOST liquid chlorine a pool would need on any given day).
qCalculate the amount of time it would take the feed-pump to inject that total amount of liquid chlorine
in a 24 hour period. Example: Limit to 10 gallons with a 50 Gallon Per Day (GPD) Fixed Rate
Peristaltic Pump. 10 Gallons / 50 Gallons * 24 Hours = 4.8 hours or 04:48:00. You will need to adjust
for variable pumps depending on the variable pump setting. Most variable pumps use a scale of 10
to 0. So if the pump is set on 8 then use 80% of the total GDP rate, in this case .80 x 50 GPD = 40
GPD.
qCalculate the overfeed time with the following equation using the following example…..
Overfeed Time = (Daily Gallon Maximum) / (Pump GPD Rate) times (24 Hours)
Round up and set the overfeed time. It can be set for minutes and seconds for finer control.

Main Menu - Cyanuric Acid - CYA
ORP Is effected by cyanuric acid and during the day the ORP measurement
will drop and at night it will go up for the same chlorine and pH level if there is
cyanuric acid in the water. The higher the concentration the larger the ORP
change. At night the ORP increases and the controller will not feed any more
sanitizer until the sun comes up the next day, but during the night the actual
chlorine may drop so in the morning the chlorine level may be low. Increasing
the ORP setpoint at night will allow for sanitizer to still be fed even in the
presence of cyanuric acid.
