requires a large amount of chlorine to be introduced to the pool, activate the Aqua Logic
Super-Chlorinate function. The Aqua Logic will turn on the filter pump, set the pool/spa
valves to the correct position, and set the chlorine generator to maximum output. The
superchlorinate function will continue for the programmed number of hours (see Timers/
Super Chlorinate Hours below) overriding the normal filter pump timeclock settings. At the
end of the super chlorinate period, the pool will return to normal operation.
If you manually turn off the filter pump (using the “Filter” button on any display/keypad),
the super chlorinate function terminates. When you turn the filter pump back on, super
chlorinate will resume for the balance of the programmed number of hours.

During this procedure the wireless remote “learns” and remembers the ID code for the
wireless base station connected to this particular Aqua Logic unit and will reject messages
with any other ID codes. If “Base NOT found” is displayed, then theAqua Logic can not
communicate with the transmitter/receiver base station attached to the main unit. If “NOT
Successful” is displayed, then the base station did not receive a signal from the remote
control. This may be due to the distance between the Base Receiver and the remote device
being too great or may be due to interference caused by other RF equipment operating in the
neighborhood. Try changing the channel and then repeat the “Teach Wireless” command.

For one speed pumps, this is the first filter timeclock and will determine the normal hours of
filtration for the pool. For pool/spa combination systems with spillover enabled, the valves
will automatically switch to spillover mode at the start of the filtration period. For all other
systems, the valves will switch to the pool-only position. Refer to the text above for general
notes regarding timeclock programming.

For two speed pumps, this setting will be the period of time when the pump runs at high
speed (the word “Filter T1” in the display will be replaced with “Filter Hi”). There is a
separate timeclock for the low speed operation (see “Filter T2” below). If the high speed and
low speed periods overlap, then the pump will operate in low speed during the overlap
period.
There are several reasons the filter pump may be running at times other than the timeclock
period set above. These include super-chlorination, spa operation, manual operation, heater
cooldown, freeze protection and “solar-extend”.
For one speed pumps, this is the second filter timeclock
Fortwospeedpumps,thistimeclockwillsetthenormaltimeperiodfor filterpumplowspeed
operation (the word “Filter T2” in the display will be replaced with “Filter Lo”). If the filter
pump was off prior to the start of this time period, the filter pump will first turn on at high
speed for 3 minutes to prime and establish water flow. Afterwards, it will drop down to low
speedfor the remainder oftheprogrammedlow speed time period. While thistimeclock will
override the high speed timeclock (see above), there are several reasons why the pump will
automatically switch to high speed operation during this programmed time period. These
include manual operation, spa operation, or heating operation. Refer to page 10 for general
notes regarding timeclock programming.
This menu is only available if the system has been setup for “spa only” or “pool and spa”.
During the programmed spa time, theAqua Logic will turn on the filter pump and move the
pool/spa valves into the “spa-only” position. The heater will automatically heat the spa up
to the programmed spa temperature (page 7). This programmed spa operation will take
precedence over all other automatic functions, only manual operation of the filter button or
pool/spa valve button will override this function.
Ifyour pool has a separatejetpumpor blower controlled byAux1 and/orAux2 , youwillhave
to program those separately (see page 12).

This menu will appear only if the Lights are configured for timeclock. The lights will turn on
and off at the designated times. The only override on this function is manual on/off control
by the “Lights” button.
This menu will appear only if the Lights are configured for countdown timer. This setting is
the time after you manually turn on the lights until theAqua Logic automatically turns off the
lights. You can also manually turn off the lights at an earlier time by pressing the LIGHTS
button. If the Lights relay is on during the programmed off time, it may be because of freeze
protection.
Aux1 andAux2 configurations are identical.
This menu will appear only if theAux1 is configured for timeclock. TheAux output will turn
on and off at the designated times. If theAux relay is off during the programmed on time—
note that some pool equipment (example pressure side pool cleaner) can only be operated
when the filter pump is running and the pool/spa valves are in the pool-only position—the
Aqua Logic will keep the relay off until these other conditions are suitable for operation. If
theAux relay is on during the programmed off time, it may be because of freeze protection.
Also, manual operation overrides the timeclock.
This menu will appear only if theAux1 is configured for countdown timer. This setting is the

Pool/Spa Setup
If “Pool Only” or “Spa Only” are selected, then the pool/spa valves are not needed and
pushing the POOL/SPAbutton on the display/keypad will have no effect. If “Pool and Spa”

15
is selected, then the pool/spa suction and return valve actuators should be connected to the
AquaLogic. Pressingthe POOL/SPAbutton on the display/keypad will allow thehomeowner
to alternate between pool and spa operation.
Spa CountDn
This menu will appear only if Pool/Spa Setup is set to “Pool and Spa”. This setting is the
time, after you manually switch the Pool/Spa valves to “Spa Only”, until the Aqua Logic
automatically returns the valves to their previous positions. It is programmed in increments
of5 minutes, from “Manual On/Off” (0minutes) to“21:00”(21hours). Thefilter is forced on
during this time period.
Spa Spillover
When spa spillover is “Enabled” and “Pool and Spa”, the homeowner will be able to rotate
through “Pool Only” (both suction and return valves switched to pool), “Spa Only” (both
suction and return valves switched to spa) and “Spillover” (suction valve switched to pool
and return valve switched to spa) by successive presses of the “Pool/Spa) button.
Filter Operation
If “Spa Spillover” is selected, theAqua Logic will automatically switch the pool/spa suction
and return valves to “spillover” at the start of the programmed pool filtering time period or
when the super-chlorinate function is turned on. The valves will remain in this position for
the remainder of the super-chlorinate period. This option is usually preferable because both
the pool and spa water will be filtered and sanitized.
If “Pool Only” is selected, then theAqua Logic will switch the pool/spa valves to the “pool
only” position at the start of the programmed pool filtering time period or when the super-
chlorinate function is turned on. This may be desirable on some systems with in-floor
cleaners because it allows the cleaner to operate all the time the pool is being filtered and/or
the super chlorinate is running.
V1=Aux1, V2=Aux2
This menu appears only if the Pool/Spa Setup is “Pool Only” or “Spa Only”. When enabled,
Valve1(return)will follow theAux1 output and Valve2(suction)willfollowtheAux2 output.
When disabled (default), the return and suction pool/spa valves function normally.

Select single speed or 2-speed pump. If a 2-speed pump is configured, one of the AUX
relays must also be configured to control the low speed motor winding on the pump. See
page 3 for specific information regarding the control logic for 2-speed pump operation.
Freeze Protection
Freeze protection is used to protect the pool and plumbed equipment against freeze damage.
Iffreeze protection is enabled and theAIR temperature sensor falls belowthefreezethreshold
(see below), theAqua Logic will turn on the filter pump to circulate the water. If “Pool and
Spa” is selected in the Pool/Spa sub-menu, the valves will also alternate between the pool
and spa every 30 minutes and the filter pump will turn off while the valves are turning. The
chlorinator will not operate if freeze protection is the only reason the pump is running.
Freeze Protection Temperature
Select the temperature to be used for freeze protection. Temperature is adjustable from 33ºF
- 42ºF (1ºC - 6ºC). 38ºF (3ºC) is default. This threshold will be used for all outputs that have
freeze protection enabled.

Heater1
If the heater is “Enabled”, the heater relay will turn on when the water temperature is less
than the desired temperature setting and the filter pump is running. The desired temperature
is in the “Settings Menu”. If applicable, the homeowner will be prompted to enter separate
“pool” and “spa” settings. Depending on the position of the pool/spa suction valve, the
proper temperature setting will be used.
Heater Cooldown
This feature ensures that the heater cools down before water circulation is stopped. When
enabled, the Aqua Logic will continue to run the filter pump for 5 minutes after the heater
turns off. During this period the filter pump LED will flash and also a “Heater Cooldown,
X:XX remaining” message will scroll on the display.
When the filter pump is running and the heater is on: Pressing the “Filter” button once will
cause the heater to turn off, but the filter pump will continue to run for heater cooldown (filter
LED flashing and message on display). Pushing the filter button a second time will override
the heater cooldown operation and turn the filter pump off.
Heater Extend
If “Enabled”, the filter extend logic keeps the filter pump running beyond the normal turn-off
time until the pool (or spa) is heated up to the desired temperature setting (see Settings
Menu). Heater extend will NOT cause the filter pump to turn on, it will only delay the turn
off time when the heater is operating.

Solar
If the solar control logic is “Enabled”, several additional steps must be taken to ensure
proper operation of the solar system. If the solar is operated by a valve, then the Valve3
output must be setup for solar logic. If the solar is operated by a pump, then one of theAUX
relays must be set up for solar logic. Also, the “solar” temperature sensor must be installed.
This sensor is typically mounted near the collector array and is used to sense whether
sufficient solar heat is available.
Ifsolar is “Enabled”, thevalveor solar pump relaywillturn on when thewatertemperature is
less than the desired temperature settingAND the solar sensor is hotter than the water. The

17
desiredtemperatureis in the “Settings Menu”. If applicable, the homeownerwill beprompted
to enter separate pool and spa desired temperature settings. Depending on the position of
the pool/spa suction valve, the proper temperature setting will be used.
Solar Extend
If “Enabled”, the filter extend logic keeps the filter pump running beyond the normal turn-off
time if solar heat is still available. When solar heat is no longer available, both the solar
valve/pump and filter pump will turn off simultaneously. Solar extend will NOT cause the
filter pump to turn on, it will only delay the turn off time when solar is operating.
Solar Priority
If both “Solar Control” and “Heater Control” are enabled, the Solar Priority feature will keep
the conventional heater off whenever solar heat is available. This provides the most cost
effective way of heating the pool. When solar heat is not available, the conventional heater
willoperatenormally.

Timeclock – the lights relay will turn-on and turn-off at the times set for the lights timeclock
in the Settings Menu (see Settings Menu in Operation Manual). The LIGHTS button can
also be used to turn the output on and off.
Solar – the lights relay can operate a solar booster pump which will turn on when the filter
pump is running and solar heat is available and the water is less than the desired temperature
setting. It is important to note that “Solar Control” must be enabled in the “Solar Config.”

Low Speed of a 2-speed Filter Pump – theAqua Logic will turn on the lights relay whenever
the low speed operation of the filter pump is required. It is very important that the “2-speed”
filter pump option be selected under the “Filter Config.” Menu for proper operation.
