Introduction
This manual assumes that the OmniHub has been installed and configured according to the Instal-
lation Manual and is using the latest firmware version available from Hayward. The OmniHub can
now be programmed with user desired settings such as schedules, themes, and favorites. This
manual will also explain how to manually turn pool equipment on/off, program settings for specific
equipment, view pool equipment status and conditions, and more.
Now that the initial configuration has been completed, the OmniHub will automatically go to the
Home Screen or Idle Screen. All settings and operation functions can be accessed from the Home
Screen. Note that if the OmniHub Control Pad is not touched for more than two minutes, the Idle
Screen will be displayed.
Using the Control Pad
The OmniHub uses the Control Pad touchscreen as the main interface with the device. Once
configured, the OmniHub can be controlled remotely by internet enabled devices such as comput-
ers, tablets, and phones. The Control Pad must be used to access the Configuration Wizard. The
Configuration Wizard is used for initial configuration (completed during the installation process) and
for any changes to existing configuration.
Idle Screen
The Control Pad will display the idle screen after two minutes of user inactivity. When the filter
pump is on, the Idle Screen will display the current temperature of the pool on the left side of the
screen. On the right side of the screen, the time will be displayed and the air temperature will
toggle with the date as well as other information.

Home Screen
When the Idle Screen is touched, the OmniHub will display the Home Screen. This screen will give
the user access to all functions, settings, and configuration options.
Power Button
The power button is displayed at all times when the OmniHub is not idle. When touched, it offers
the following 4 functions:
Shut Down - When Shut Down is selected, the OmniHub will turn off all pool equipment and report
when it is safe to remove power. When this message is displayed, you can either power off the unit
or restart the OmniHub by touching the large power button displayed on the left side of the screen.
Service Mode - Service Mode will turn off all pool equipment and disable all networked devices.
Service Mode is useful to prevent scheduled operation and disable remote operation while servic-
ing the pool. After selecting Service Mode, there are two options:
Service Mode (Standard): The OmniHub will remain in Service Mode until you manually exit.
To exit Service Mode, touch the power button and select the Service Mode button again.
Service Mode Timed: Before entering Service Mode, you will select a Service Mode timeout.
This is the amount of time that the OmniHub will stay in Service Mode before automatically
exiting. The timeout can be set between 1-96 hours. There is no need to exit Service Mode
manually.

Features Off - Features Off offers a quick way to turn off all equipment (except the filter pump and
lights if running because of a schedule) with a single touch of a button.
Simple Mode - Simple Mode is a customizable screen that can be set up for quick access to your
Favorites (page 21). You can set up only the Favorites that you want shown while in Simple Mode.
Because it’s customizable, Simple Mode can provide a convenient way to access the most common
functions for owners as well as a handy solution to limit access to other users. For information on
how to create and delete Simple Mode functions, refer to the “Favorites” section in this manual.
The MSP ID number (page 39) is needed when entering and exiting Simple Mode.
Selecting a Body of Water - Left Side of Home Screen
The left side of the Home Screen allows you to select and control a Body of Water. If more than one
Body of Water is used (typically a pool and a spa), pressing the left and right arrows shown below
toggle between the Bodies of Water. If just a pool is configured, there will be no arrows shown.
Controlling a Body of Water
When the desired Body of Water is displayed, touch the left side of the screen to advance to the Body
of Water Features Screens. The items shown on the Features Screen relate to that Body of Water
ONLY. To control a different Body of Water, select the desired Body of Water at the Home Screen first,

Features (left side of the Home Screen)
After selecting the desired Body of Water (if applicable), touch the left side of the screen to advance
to the Features Screen. The various buttons shown in the Features Screen are related to initial
configuration. For example, if you configured a heat pump to heat the pool, then the heater set-
tings for the heat pump will be displayed.
Favorites - Right Side of Home Screen
The right side of the Home Screen is Favorites. These buttons offer universal control for all Bodies
of Water and Backyard equipment. Up to four Favorite buttons will be shown on the Home screen.
To access more Favorites, touch the arrows on the left or right of the Favorite buttons.
Note that some default buttons will appear on the Favorites Screen. These buttons are related
to your initial configuration settings and are automatically created. In addition, custom “Favorite”
buttons can also be added. The OmniHub supports up to 50 Favorites for quick, easy access to
commonly used functions.
Navigation
The OmniHub has been designed to be intuitive, allowing most users the ability to navigate with
little instruction. Following is a list of commonly used buttons. As you navigate through the various
screens, these buttons will likely be displayed. Some sections of this manual may refer to buttons
that are specific to certain types of pool equipment. You’ll find more information about those but-
tons under their corresponding section. If your installation does not include that particular equip-
ment, those sections can be skipped.

Features and Control Screens
As previously stated, the Features Screen allows you to control functions and equipment. The
contents of the Features Screen is a result of how the OmniHub was configured using the Configu-
ration Wizard. If equipment is missing or does not belong in the Features Screen, you may have to
go back to the Configuration Wizard and correct the configuration of that equipment.
An example of a Features Screen is shown below. In this example, we are looking at the Pool
(shown in the lower left of the screen) configured with a pump, a heater, a cleaner, and UCL lights.
Depending on the equipment in your system, your screens will likely be different. The purpose of
this section is to explain how Features and Control Screens work as well as show some common
equipment examples which will help familiarize you with the interface. Even though some of your
equipment may be different, you should see similarities in the following examples that will help you
create and change settings for all the equipment in your Features Screens.

manual.
If using an HL-CHEM - The Hayward HL-CHEM Sense and Dispense accessory continuously tests
the pool’s sanitization and pH levels allowing the OmniHub to automatically generate/dispense the
correct amount of chlorine and dispense the proper amount of pH reducer. If using the HL-CHEM
and ORP has been enabled in the Configuration Wizard, the OmniHub will display chlorinator readings
and settings in “mV” rather than “%”. Refer to the following information+ as well as the HL-CHEM

Chlorinator Setting - The OmniHub can only generate/dispense chlorine while the filter pump is
operating. If not using an HL-CHEM (optional with AquaRite only), set the percentage of run time that
you desire chlorine generation. Raise this value to generate more chlorine. Lower to generate less.
NOTE: After the initial setting, you may need to raise the setting when the pool water temperature
increases significantly, when there is higher than normal bather load or when your chlorinator cell
ages. You may need to lower the setting when the pool water temperature decreases significantly or
there are long periods of inactivity.
Super Chlorinate - When you have an unusually high bather load, a large amount of rain, a cloudy
water condition, or any other condition that requires a large amount of chlorine to be introduced to
the pool, activate the Super Chlorinate function. The OmniHub will turn on the filter pump (if not
scheduled) and set the chlorine generator/dispenser to maximum output. The super chlorinate func-
tion will continue for the programmed number of hours overriding the normal filter pump schedule
settings. At the end of the super chlorinate period, the pool will return to normal operation. If you
manually turn off the filter pump, the super chlorinate function terminates.
Chlorinator Diagnostics (AquaRite only)
For the chlorinator to be operating, several conditions must exist: the filter pump must be running, the
flow switch must detect flow, the chlorinator setting must be greater than 0%, the water temperature
at the cell must be between 50ºF and 140ºF (superchlorinate will run under 50º except during freeze
protection), and the salt level must be within the operating range. If any of these conditions are not
met, the diagnostic screen will show that the chlorinator is off. Also, depending on the chlorinator
setting, the OmniHub may be in between cycles and the chlorinator is at rest (cell current shows
0.00A). To force the start of the new cycle, you can touch the Reverse Polarity button.

NOTE: If a conventional or solar heater is operating, it is likely that the temperature of the water at
the cell is higher than the pool/spa water temperature displayed on the OmniHub default display.
Restart Average Salt - The OmniHub monitors salt level while chlorinating. At any time, go to the
chlorinator diagnostic screen to view the average salt based on an ongoing calculated average. If
you restart average salt, the previous average is deleted and the OmniHub begins calculating the
new average from that moment. The OmniHub will start with the instant salt reading and calculate
an ongoing average.
Reverse Polarity - The OmniHub periodically reverses the polarity of the voltage applied to the
chlorinator cell in order to automatically clean off any calcium deposits. To check operation in both
polarities, touch this button. The chlorinator will turn off, wait for 15 seconds and then turn on in the
opposite polarity.
Reset Cell Maintenance Timer - To maintain maximum performance, it is recommended that you
open and visually inspect the chlorinator cell every 3 months or after cleaning your filter. The Om-
niHub will remind you to do this by displaying a message to clean and inspect the cell after approxi-
mately 500 hours of operation. You can restart the timer by touching this button.
pH Dispense
If using an HL-CHEM: The Hayward HL-CHEM Sense and Dispense accessory continuously tests
the pool’s sanitization and pH levels allowing the OmniHub to automatically generate the correct

pH Calibration
If the OmniHub pH reading differs from independent water tests, you can adjust the reading by touch-
ing the Calibrate button and using procedure below. You’ll be asked for the difference between the
displayed pH level and the true pH level. You’ll want to select the amount needed to go from the
displayed level to the true level. In the example below, the displayed level is 7.3 and the true level is
7.5. You need to add .2 to the displayed level to arrive at the true pH level.
ColorLogic Lights
IMPORTANT: Noise induced into the supply wiring from the inductive kick of the isolated low volt-
age transformer can sometimes interfere with ColorLogic operation. If your ColorLogic lights do
not respond properly to commands, install a Hayward GLX-HAL-XSNUB snubber capacitor at the
transformer. These are available from your local Hayward dealer.
You can set schedules for the ColorLogic lights as well as countdown timers. This procedure has
been previously shown. Note that after the countdown interval, the lights will go off regardless of
their previous state.
Light Show/Color - From the ColorLogic Control Screen, select the desired show or color. Use the
Advance button to show all of the available selections. Use the Light Show/Color button to switch
between all light shows and all solid colors.
Synchronize - Because changing colors and shows requires interrupting power to the ColorLogic
lights, there is a chance that the lights could lose synchronization due to timing issues. If you find
that the color or show does not correspond with the selection that you’ve made, the lights may be
out of sync. Touch the Synchronize button to re-sync the ColorLogic lights.

OmniDirect Mode (Universal ColorLogic Lights built after June 2018)
Universal ColorLogic lights built after June 2018 are capable of OmniDirect mode. To run in this
mode, select OmniDirect mode when configuring your lights in the Configuration Wizard (see Instal-
lation Manual). The OmniHub will test your lights during configuration to confirm that they support
OmniDirect mode. If so, the ColorLogic Control Screen will display a Settings icon rather than a Syn-
chronize button, which allows both Speed and Brightness control shown on the diagram below. If a
WaterBowl light is configured, the Flicker effect can also be activated from the Settings screen. Note
that these settings will also be an option when setting up schedules and timers for lights running in
OmniDirect mode.
Other Lights
You can turn other lights on/off, set schedules, and set a countdown timer at the Other Lights Control
Screen shown below. These functions have been illustrated previously in this manual.
