Introduction
This manual assumes that the OmniPL has been installed and configured according to the Installa-
tion Manual and is using the latest firmware version available from Hayward. The OmniPL 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 OmniPL 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 OmniPL Controller is not touched for more than two minutes, the Idle Screen will be
displayed.
Using the OmniPL Controller
The OmniPL Controller is the main interface with the device. Once configured, the OmniPL can be
controlled remotely using various Hayward remote terminals or, when connected to the home’s net-
work, by Internet enabled devices such as computers, tablets and phones. The OmniPL Controller
must be used to access the Configuration Wizard. The Configuration Wizard is used for initial con-
figuration (completed during the installation process) and for any changes to existing configuration.
Idle Screen
The OmniPL Controller 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 Body of Water shown in
the upper left corner. If the OmniPL is configured to control two Bodies of Water, the idle screen will
toggle between both. On the right side of the screen, the air temperature will toggle with the date.

Home Screen
When the idle screen is touched, the OmniPL 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 OmniPL is not idle. When touched, it offers the
following 4 functions:
Shut Down - When Shut Down is selected, the OmniPL 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 OmniPL by touching the large power button displayed on the left side of the screen.
Service Mode (page 29) - Service Mode will turn off all pool equipment and disable all remote con-
trols including networked devices. Service Mode is useful to prevent scheduled operation and dis-
able remote operation while servicing the pool. After selecting Service Mode, there are two options:
Service Mode (Standard): The OmniPL 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 OmniPL will stay in Service Mode before automatically exit-
ing. The timeout can be set between 1-96 hours. There is no need to exit Service Mode manu-
ally.
Features Off - Features Off offers a quick way to turn off all equipment with a single touch of a but-
ton. Note that the filter pump, heater, lights and chlorination will continue to run if scheduled.

Simple Mode (page 34)- Simple Mode is a customizable screen that can be set up for quick access
to your Favorites (page 19). 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 infor-
mation on how to create and delete Simple Mode functions, refer to the “Favorites” section in this
manual as well as page 34. The MSP ID number 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 spa), pressing the left and right arrows in the middle
of the screen will toggle between the Bodies of Water. If just a pool is configured, there will be no
arrows shown.
Features Screen - 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,
then go to the Features Screens.
The various buttons shown in the Body of Water Features Screens are related to initial configuration.
For example, if you configured a gas heater to heat the Spa Body of Water, the heater setting for the
gas heater will be found in the Spa Features Screens.
Favorites - Right Side of Home Screen
The right side of the Home Screen is Favorites. These buttons offer universal control for Backyard
equipment and all Bodies of Water regardless of which one is displayed. Up to four Favorite buttons
will be shown on the home screen. To access more Favorites, touch the arrows to the left or right of
the Favorite buttons.

Body of Water Features and Control Screens
As previously stated, the Body of Water Features Screens allow you to control functions and equip-
ment for a particular Body of Water. Making a change will not affect other Bodies of Water. For
example, if the Pool is being displayed when entering the Features Screens, only the pool will be
affected by any changes or settings that you make. The contents of the Features Screen is a result of
how the OmniPL was configured using the Configuration Wizard. If equipment is missing or does not
belong in the Body of Water 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 lower left of screen). The arrow button on the right means that there are more Features Screens
if we advance.
Depending on the equipment that has been configured 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 ex-
amples that will help you create and change settings for all the equipment in your Features Screens.
The following examples will be shown for the Pool only. All of the equipment shown in the Features
Screens have been initially configured in the Configuration Wizard to operate with the Pool. You
may have also configured the same type of equipment to operate with a different body of water. For
example, you may have a heater for the pool and a second heater for the spa. The following informa-
tion should help you understand how to control all of your equipment, regardless of which Body of
Water is selected.
Control Screens
After an item has been selected in the Features Screen, you’ll be brought to a Control Screen. Con-
trol Screens are where you will actually make changes to the pool’s equipment settings. To change
a setting, you’ll first select the Body of Water, then select the feature you’d like to change in the
Features Screen, then make your change in that feature’s Control Screen.
Filter Pump
In the example on page 8, a variable speed pump which was named “vsp” has been configured to be
used with the Pool in the Configuration Wizard. Touching the “vsp” button in the Features Screen will
bring you to a pump Control Screen which will let you manually turn on/off the pump, set a schedule,
set a speed, apply a countdown timer and view the status. Single speed and two speed pumps will
have a similar Control Screen.

If there is more than one heater configured for the body of water, the Set Priority button will appear in
the Heater Control Screen. If the Priority heater can not meet the demand for heat, the next heater
will be allowed to operate. Use Priority to maximize efficiency by allowing the most cost effective
heater(s) to run first.
The example below shows how to change priority to run the heat pump first, then, if it can’t meet
the demand for heat, the gas heater will be allowed to operate. Note that the time interval used for
heater priority can only be changed in the Configuration Wizard. Note that a time interval setting of
“0” will eliminate priority and always run both heaters at the same time.

Chlorinator
If a chlorinator has been configured in the Configuration Wizard, you will see it in the Features
Screen. Touching the chlorinator button will bring you to the Chlorinator Control Screen that will allow
you to enable/disable the chlorinator, set a schedule, super chlorinate and view/change diagnostics.
A sample screen is shown below. For schedules, refer to the previous examples in this 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 OmniPL to automatically generate 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 OmniPL will display chlorinator readings and set-
tings in “mV” rather than “%”. Refer to the information below as well as the HL-CHEM manual for
configuration and operation instructions.
Chlorinator Setting - The OmniPL can only generate chlorine while the filter pump is operating. Set
the percentage of run time that you desire chlorine generation. Raise this value to generate more
chlorine. Lower this value 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 OmniPL Super Chlorinate function. The OmniPL will turn on the filter pump
(if not scheduled), set the pool/spa valves to the correct position, and set the chlorine generator to

maximum output. The super chlorinate function 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
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 OmniPL 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 OmniPL default display.
Restart Average Salt - The OmniPL 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 OmniPL begins calculating the new
average from that moment. The OmniPL will start with the instant salt reading and calculate an
ongoing average.
Reverse Polarity - The OmniPL 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 OmniPL

Universal ColorLogic lights built after June 2018 are capable of Omni Direct mode. To run in this
mode, select Omni Direct mode when configuring your lights in the Configuration Wizard (see Instal-
lation Manual). The OmniPL will test your lights during configuration to confirm that they support
Omni Direct mode. If so, the ColorLogic Control Screen will display a Settings icon rather than a
Synchronize button, which allows both Speed and Brightness control shown on the diagram below.
Note that Settings will also be an option when setting up schedules and timers for lights running

Freeze Protect Override
If freeze protection is enabled AND the air temperature falls below the freeze threshold, the OmniPL
will turn on the filter pump to circulate the water. If two bodies of water are configured, 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 can be overridden for 60 minutes by touching the Freeze Prot.
button found in the Features Screen for the Body of Water with the highest heating priority (see
below). IMPORTANT: Ensure that equipment is protected from a freeze condition before overriding
this feature. To resume normal freeze protection, simply touch the Freeze Prot. button again.
Favorites
Favorites can be found on the right side of the Home Screen and offer control for equipment regard-
less of which Body of Water is being displayed. Favorites are also used to control equipment that has
been configured for the “Backyard”. Favorites offer quick easy access to frequently used functions
and most Favorites can be added to Simple Mode (page 34).
The OmniPL will automatically create some Favorites based on your system’s configuration. You can
also create your own Favorites. Once Favorites have been created, you can change the location in
which they appear on the Home Screen. In addition, if you no longer require a Favorite, it can be
deleted. The OmniPL supports up to a total of 50 Favorites.
In most cases, touching a Favorite button on the Home Screen will bring you to the same screens
that have been covered in the Control Screens section of this manual. Refer to these screens if
necessary.
