Chlorination
When used with an optional Hayward TurboCell and P-KIT, the OmniLogic can generate all the chlorine needs for pools up to 40,000 gallons (150,000 liters), or
the needs of most commercial pools up to 25,000 gallons (95,000 liters). If enabled (see Configuration Wizard), this operation requires a low concentration of
salt (sodium chloride) in the pool/spa water. The OmniLogic automatically converts salt into free chlorine which kills bacteria and algae in the pool/spa. Chlorine
will revert back to sodium chloride after killing bacteria. These reactions will continuously recycle, virtually eliminating the need to add sanitizing chemicals
to your pool/spa. The only time you may need to add more salt to the pool/spa is when water is replenished due to backwashing, draining, or splashing (not
evaporation). The actual amount of chlorination required to properly sanitize a pool varies due to bather load, rainfall, temperature, and the pool’s cleanliness.
Installation Steps
DANGER of Death, Injury or Property Damage if procedure not followed. Dead front removal is required for this installation. Power to the OmniLogic
panel MUST be shut off before the dead front is removed. This means a complete shutdown of power to the entire OmniLogic panel.

Preparing Pool/Spa Water
General Water Chemistry
Salt is required only if you are using the chlorinator features on the OmniLogic Control Center. If you are NOT using the chlorinator, it is recommended that
you follow all of the other chemistry recommendations besides salt.
Water Chemistry
This table summarizes the levels that are recommended by the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals (APSP). The only special requirements for the
OmniLogic are the salt level and stabilizer.
Saturation index
The saturation index (Si) relates to the calcium and alkalinity in the water and is an indicator of the pool water “balance”. Your water is properly balanced
if the Si is 0 ±0.2. If the Si is below -0.2, the water is corrosive and plaster pool walls will be dissolved into the water. If the Si is above +0.2, scaling and
staining will occur. Use the chart below to determine the saturation index.
The pool’s chemistry must be balanced BEFORE activating the OmniLogic’s optional chlorinator function. NOTE: If the pool does not have new water, add
metal remover and non-copper based algaecide to the pool, per manufacturer’s instructions. This ensures a quick, troublefree transfer to the OmniLogic
system.

Salt (When using optional chlorinator function)
Use the chart at the bottom of the page to determine how much salt in pounds or (Kgs) should be added to reach the recommended levels. Use the Pool Sizing
Formula below (measurements are in feet/gallons and meters/liters) if pool size is unknown.
The operating salt level is between 2700-3400 PPM (parts per million) with 3200 PPM being optimal. Before adding any salt, test the salt level. This is espe-
cially important for retrofit installation to older pools where all of the chlorine added to the pool over time is ending up as salt. If the level is low, determine the
number of gallons in the pool and add salt according to the chart below. A low salt level will reduce the efficiency of the sanitization and result in low chlorine
production. A high salt level can cause the OmniLogic to stop chlorinating. The salt in your pool/spa is constantly recycled and the loss of salt throughout the
swimming season should be minimal. This loss is due primarily to the addition of water because of splashing, backwashing, or draining (because of rain). Salt
is not lost due to evaporation.
Type of Salt to Use
It is important to use only sodium chloride (NaCl) salt that is greater than 99.0% pure. This can be found at most pool stores in 40-80 lb. bags labeled “for use
in swimming pools”. Alternatively, use common food quality or water softener salt that is at least 99.0% pure. It is also acceptable to use water conditioning
salt pellets, however, it will take longer for them to dissolve. Do not use rock salt, or salt with more than 1% of yellow prussiate of soda, salt with anti-caking
additives, or iodized salt.

USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS
6
How to Add Salt
For new plaster pools, wait 10-14 days before adding salt to allow the plaster to cure. Turn the circulating pump on and add salt directly into the pool. Brush the
salt around to speed up the dissolving process—do not allow salt to pile up on the bottom of the pool. Run the filter pump for 24 hours with the suction coming
from the main drain (use pool vacuum if there is no main drain) to allow the salt to evenly disperse throughout the pool. The salt display may take 24 hours to
respond to the change in salt concentration.
Always check stabilizer (cyanuric acid), when checking salt. These levels will most likely decline together. Use the chart below to determine how much stabilizer
must be added to raise the level to 40 ppm.
Mounting the Equipment
OmniLogic Enclosure
The OmniLogic is contained in a raintight enclosure that is suitable for outdoor mounting. The control must be mounted a minimum of 6 ft. (2 meters) horizontal
distance from the pool/spa (or more, if local codes require). The OmniLogic is designed to mount vertically on a flat surface with the knockouts facing downward.
Because the enclosure also acts as a heat sink (disperses heat from inside the box), it is important not to block the four sides of the control. Do not mount the
OmniLogic inside a panel or tightly enclosed area.
When selecting a location, note that the standard cables supplied with the included flow switch and temperature sensors, as well as optional accessories like
Hayward TurboCells and actuators are all 15 ft. (5m) long.
The OmniLogic weighs close to 60lbs. and will require two people to position and install. Select the proper location and mounting hardware given the size and
weight of the unit. The OmniLogic mounting brackets require a total of 6 mounting bolts to fasten the OmniLogic to the mounting surface.
Note that there is a heatsink on the back of the enclosure. Refer to the following information regarding the OmniLogic heatsink:
In all cases the heat sink on the back of the OmniLogic panel should not contact the wall behind the panel. This restricts air flow and makes the heat sink less
efficient. A minimum separation of 1/8” (except for vinyl siding) should be maintained between any heat sink pin and the siding on the wall behind the enclosure.
In the case of a flat wall the mounting flanges on the enclosure ensure that the minimum clearance is maintained. For shingles, clapboards or other siding with
a non-flat profile, the installer must ensure the minimum separation. Refer to the diagram on page 7.
Special Installation Instructions for Vinyl Siding
IMPORTANT: The heat sink on the back of the OmniLogic panel cannot be allowed to contact vinyl siding; during normal chlorinator operation the heat sink pins
get warm enough to deform vinyl siding on contact. An increased minimum separation of 3/8” should be maintained between any heat sink pin and the vinyl
siding behind the enclosure.

USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS
7
Temperature Sensors
Three sensors are included with the OmniLogic. A water sensor and an air sensor must be installed at all times for proper operation. A solar sensor is required
if the solar function is enabled.
Water Sensor
This sensor is used to measure the pool/spa temperature and is installed in the filtration plumbing after the filter but before either the solar or conventionally
fueled heaters—refer to the plumbing overview diagram.
1. Drill a 3/8” (10mm) diameter hole in the PVC piping and remove all chips and burrs.
2. Insert sensor until O-ring collar sits flush on the hole.
3. Position hose clamp over the sensor and gently tighten until O-ring makes an adequate seal. Do not overtighten.
Air Sensor
Mount the air sensor outdoors. IMPORTANT: The air sensor must not be mounted in direct sunlight.
Solar Sensor
For solar applications, mount the sensor near the solar collector array so that it is exposed to the same sunlight as the collectors. Use additional cable (20 AWG)
if necessary.
Minimum Clearance between heatsink and mounting surface - 1/8”
For Vinyl Siding - 3/8”

Optional Chlorination Function
The OmniLogic model requires the use of a chlorinator cell and plumbing kit to provide pool chlorination. These items are not included with the OmniLogic and
can be purchased separately at your local Hayward dealer. Choose a chlorinator cell model based on the size of your pool. The following models are available:
T-CELL-15 for pools up to 40,000 gallons
T-CELL-9 for pools up to 25,000 gallons
T-CELL-3 for pools up to 15,000 gallons
In addition to the chlorinator cell, a plumbing kit (P-KIT) must be purchased. This kit contains the cell unions and flow switch. Refer to pages 12 and 23 for
plumbing and wiring instructions.
Optional HL-CHEM Sensing Kit
The HL-CHEM is an ORP and pH sensing kit for the OmniLogic. When chlorination is enabled (requires chlorinator cell and P-KIT), the OmniLogic senses the
pool’s ORP and pH levels and generates the correct amount of chlorine to keep your pool properly sanitized. Wiring and plumbing requirements for the HL-CHEM
should be considered before installing the OmniLogic. Refer to the HL-CHEM manual for specific installation information.
Optional AQL-CHEM2 CO2 Dispensing Kit
The AQL-CHEM2 is a CO2 dispensing device that connects directly to the OmniLogic. When used with an HL-CHEM, the OmniLogic will sense the pool’s pH
level and automatically dispense the correct amount of CO2 to control the pool’s pH to the desired level. Wiring and plumbing requirements for the AQL-CHEM2
should be considered before installing the OmniLogic. Refer to the AQL-CHEM2 manual for specific installation information.
Wired Remote Terminal
Hayward offers an optional wired remote terminals for the OmniLogic, giving you the ability to control your pool’s functions from a remote location, away from
the pool pad. The OmniLogic can also be controlled remotely by various internet enabled devices such as phones, tablets and PCs.
HLWALLMOUNT
The HLWALLMOUNT is a wired touchscreen remote terminal designed to be mounted up to 500’ away (depending on cable gauge) from the OmniLogic. The
HLWALLMOUNT must be mounted indoors or in a weather protected area (rain should never touch the unit). It can mount over a single gang electrical utility box
or can be mounted directly onto any wall surface. When selecting a mounting location, refer to the HLWALLMOUNT manual for more information.
Networking and Web Enabled Devices
The OmniLogic offers ethernet connectivity to the web through the home’s network. Once connected, web enabled devices such as a PC, laptop, tablet or phone
can be used to control and monitor the OmniLogic. For web connectivity, an ethernet cable must be run from the OmniLogic to the router or access point or a
wireless connection can be made to the home’s router using an optional HLWLAN.
HLWLAN
If running ethernet cable from the home’s router/access point to the OmniLogic is impractical, an optional HLWLAN can be used. The HLWLAN is a 802.11b/g/n
transceiver kit that can make a wireless connection up to 250’ to the home’s router/access point preventing the need to run cable for web access. Refer to the
HLWLAN Owner’s Manual for wiring and configuration information.
Optional Valve Actuators
For optional actuators used with the OmniLogic—note that the internal cams in the actuator may also have to be adjusted depending on the way the actuator
is mounted on the valve and the desired valve action.

Plumbing
Pool/Spa System Configuration
These systems use a single filter pump and filter. Pool or spa operation is controlled by two 3-way valves (suction and return). Refer to the diagram below.
Some important notes regarding standard Pool/Spa systems:
1. The OmniLogic can be programmed to accommodate spa spillover, if desired.
2. A conventional heater (gas or heat pump) and solar can be used to heat both the pool and the spa.
3. If the chlorinator cell is plumbed prior to the pool/spa return valve, then both the pool and the spa can be chlorinated
4. The water sensor should be installed prior to any heater or solar and will display either the pool or the spa temperature, depending on the current operation
of the pool. The temperature will only be displayed when the filter pump is running.
5. If any water feature or pressure side cleaner boost pumps are used, be sure to enable the “interlock” feature (see CONFIGURATION for details) to ensure
that the pumps operate only when the filter pump is on and the system is in the “pool only” operating mode.
6. The plumbing diagram above is intended to be used as a general guideline and is not a complete plumbing schematic for the pool.
7. The air sensor must be installed if the freeze protection feature is enabled for the filter, valves, chlorinator, other pool functions.

“Dual Equipment - Separate Heaters” for Pool/Spa Configuration
These systems have 2 complete sets of equipment (filter pump, filter, heater)—1 set for the pool and the other set for the spa. Refer to the diagram below:
Some important notes regarding the control of Dual Equipment Pool/Spa systems with separate heaters:
1. When dual equipment is selected:
a. The pool filter can be a one, two or variable pump.
b. The spa filter can be a one, two or variable pump.
2. The water sensor should be installed on the pool loop prior to the heater and will display the pool temperature whenever the “Pool Filter” pump is running.
3. The dual equipment spa sensor should be installed on the spa loop prior to the heater and will display the spa temperature whenever the “Spa Filter” pump
is running.
4. The OmniLogic can be programmed to accommodate spillover if desired. Note that spillover operation will be automatically suspended whenever the spa
filter pump is turned on.
5. The chlorinator cell must be installed in the pool plumbing. If spillover is enabled, then the OmniLogic can chlorinate both the pool and spa (during spillover
operation). Otherwise, the OmniLogic will only chlorinate the pool and the spa sanitization will have to be handled manually.
6. If any water feature or pressure side cleaner boost pumps are used, be sure to enable the “interlock” feature (see CONFIGURATION for details) to ensure
that the pumps operate only when the “Pool Filter” pump is on and the system is in the “pool only” operating mode.

These systems have 2 complete sets of equipment (filter pump, filter) and shared heaters. Refer to the diagram below:
Some important notes regarding the control of Dual Equipment Pool/Spa systems with shared heaters:
In the Pool/Spa Config., select:
1. When dual equipment is selected:
a. The pool filter can be a one, two or variable pump.
b. The spa filter can be a one, two or variable pump.
c. The heater(s) will be dedicated to the spa whenever the spa filter is on and the spa temperature setting is not off.
2. The water sensor should be installed on the pool loop prior to the heater(s) and will display the pool temperature whenever the “Pool Filter” pump is running.
3. The dual equipment spa sensor should be installed on the spa loop prior to the heater(s) and will display the spa temperature whenever the “Spa Filter”
pump is running.
4. The OmniLogic can be programmed to accommodate spillover if desired. Note that spillover operation will be automatically suspended whenever the spa
filter pump is turned on.
5. The chlorinator cell and flow switch must be installed in the heater return path. If spillover is enabled, then the OmniLogic can chlorinate both the pool and
spa (during spillover operation). Otherwise, the OmniLogic will only chlorinate the pool when the spa does not control the heater(s) and the spa sanitization
will have to be handled manually.
6. If any water feature or pressure side cleaner boost pumps are used, be sure to enable the “interlock” feature (see CONFIGURATION for details) to ensure
that the pumps operate only when the “Pool Filter” pump is on and the system is in the “pool only” operating mode.
7. The plumbing diagram on page 9 is intended to be used as a general guideline and is not a complete plumbing schematic for the pool.

Optional TurboCell
The TurboCell (used for chlorine generation) must be plumbed AFTER the filter and heater. If installed on a pool/spa combination system, the cell must be
plumbed BEFORE the pool/spa return valve in order to allow proper chlorination of both the pool and the spa. Refer to plumbing diagram below:
The cell may be mounted vertically or horizontally, and water can move in either direction through the cell. Install using the 2” unions provided. Tighten unions
BY HAND for a watertight seal. For systems with 1½“ plumbing use adapters (provided by installer).
Flow Switch (supplied with P-KIT)
A Hayward flow switch is required if using the optional TurboCell for chlorination or an AQL-CHEM2 for pH dispensing. The flow switch is a safety device that
ensures that water is flowing through the cell before the OmniLogic starts to generate chlorine or dispenses acid.
The flow switch must be plumbed in the same section of plumbing as the TurboCell. Failure to properly install the flow switch can result in explosive gases
accumulating in the pool plumbing system.
IMPORTANT: There must be at least a 12” (30cm) straight pipe run before (upstream) the flow switch. If the switch is plumbed after the cell, the cell can by
counted as the 12” (30cm) of straight pipe.
IMPORTANT: To ensure proper operation, verify that the arrow on the flow switch points in the direction of water flow.

Electrical Wiring
The OmniLogic requires both high and low voltage connections. Low voltage connections will be made to actuators, sensors, remote keypad, etc. High voltage
connections will be made to pumps, lights, etc., as well as providing direct input power to the Control Center. Always:
-Ensure that Power is disconnected prior to performing any wiring
-Follow all local and NEC (CEC if applicable) codes
-Use copper conductors only
-Remove power to the OmniLogic subpanel before removing the deadfront

Main Service (Power to the Circuit Breaker Subpanel)
The OmniLogic circuit breaker subpanel can accommodate up to 12 circuit breakers and is rated for 125A service. Run properly rated conductors (L1, L2, N,
and ground) from the primary house electrical panel to the main power connections on the OmniLogic circuit breaker base. The connection at the main house
panel should be to a 240VAC circuit breaker rated at 125A maximum.
Grounding and Bonding
Connect a ground wire from the primary electrical panel to the OmniLogic ground bus bar. Also ground each piece of high voltage (120 or 240VAC) equipment
that is connected to the OmniLogic control relays or circuit breakers. The OmniLogic should also be connected to the pool bonding system by an 8AWG (6AWG
for Canada) wire. A lug for bonding (2 for Canada) is provided on the outside/bottom of the OmniLogic enclosure.
Circuit Breaker Installation and Wiring
Circuit breakers are to be supplied by the installer. Refer to the circuit breaker chart below for a list of suitable circuit breakers that can be used. Follow the
code and the circuit breaker manufacturer’s rating requirements regarding the size and temperature rating for wiring. Note that some pool equipment may be
required to be connected to ground fault circuit breakers—check local and NEC (CEC) codes.
General Purpose Outlet
If desired, a duplex receptacle with weatherproof cover (supplied by installer) may be installed in the knockout on the lower right side of the OmniLogic enclosure.
Per code, use a GFCI type receptacle or a standard receptacle protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Breaker.
OmniLogic Power
The OmniLogic requires 120VAC, 5A power to operate the control logic circuits and the chlorinator. This power should be connected to a dedicated circuit
breaker.
WARNING: 120VAC only (permanent damage will occur if connected to 240V)

Connection Table
The HLBASE includes 4 high voltage relays, 4 low voltage/heater relays, 4 valve outputs and 4 temperature sensor inputs. Additional relays and inputs/outputs
can be added using an HLRELAYBANK, HLIOEXPAND or HLRELAY(s) (see Accessories) . When wiring pool equipment to the OmniLogic, keep a record of all
connections. You’ll need to record which input/output is used and what equipment is attached. To aid in this process, use the table below. To identify the vari-
ous inputs/outputs, refer to the diagram on the side of the table. After attaching a equipment to the OmniLogic, fill in the appropriate information in the table.

High Voltage Wiring
High Voltage Relays - (120/240V) Pool Equipment
All OmniLogic relays are double pole (they make/break both “legs” of 240V circuits) and are rated at 3HP/30A at 240V (1½HP/30A at 120V). Refer to the
diagram below for typical relay wiring. Record all connections using the table on page 15.
WARNING: Do not use the OmniLogic to control an automatic pool cover. Swimmers may become entrapped underneath the cover.
Two speed filter pump
Requires two relays for proper operation of both speeds. NOTE: When selecting relays for two speed operation, note that both relays must be within the Relay
Bank (HLRELAYBANK) or neither relay should be within the Relay Bank. The diagram below shows the pump connected to relays outside of the Relay Bank.
