INTRODUCTION
The AquaRite+ is the most advanced salt water chlorinator for sanitising swimming pools and spas or pool/spa combinations on the market.
Not only is the AquaRite+ a salt water chlorinator that controls the filtration pump with a magnitude of different on/off timer features, but
with the addition of optional upgrade kits, it can measure and control the pH and ORP levels, control a heater and power an LED light, which
can all be done remotely with the optional remote display screen and/or the Wi-Fi module with free App.
The AquaRite+ requires a low concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the pool/spa water and automatically converts the salt into free
chlorine which kills bacteria and algae in the water. The chlorine will revert back to sodium chloride after killing the bacteria and algae. These
reactions will continuously recycle virtually eliminating the need to add sanitising chemicals to your pool/spa. The only time that you may
need to add salt to the pool/spa water is when water is replenished due to back-washing, draining, or splashing out only (not evaporation).
The actual amount of chlorine required to properly sanitise a pool or spa varies due to bather load, rainfall, water temperature, and the
general cleanliness of the pool or spa. The AquaRite+ is suitable for treating most size residential pools up to 150,000 litres in a cool
climate and depending which size Hayward Turbo Cell is connected to the unit.
NOTE: Before installing this product as part of a salt water purification system in a pool or spa using natural stone for coping or for immediately
adjacent patios/decking, a qualified stone installation specialist should be consulted regarding the appropriate type, installation, sealant (if any) and
maintenance of stone used around a saline pool with an electronic chlorine generator in your particular location and circumstances.
NOTE: The use of dry acid (sodium bisulfate) to adjust pool pH is discouraged especially in arid regions where pool water is subject to excessive
evaporation and is not commonly diluted with fresh water. Dry acid can cause a buildup of by-products that can damage your chlorinator cell.

Independently Controlled Accessories
As a standalone salt water chlorinator with no optional upgrade
kits connected to it, the AquaRite+ will turn the filter pump on/
off through timer schedules as well as measures the pool water
temperature back to the pool and salt concentration level via
the T-Cell. Depending which T-Cell is fitted to the unit the chlorine
production can be set between 0 and 30 g/hr.
To the right is a basic pool/spa system demonstrating
how individual components would be set up to replicate the
performance of a fully accessory integrated AquaRite+ system.
Each component has it’s own control point with independent
programming. This requires a lot of manual input from the user to
maintain the pool and spa.
AquaRite+ Controlled Accessories
The AquaRite+’s accessory integration capabilities allows the
entire pool/spa system to have one, comprehensive control point.
The diagram below demonstrates this.
Through the AquaRite+ programming, the components can communicate measurements and then react accordingly to achieve a safe and
comfortable pool environment. User input becomes simplified with the installation of the pH and ORP Upgrade Kits, and the Temperature
Probe and Spa Flow Switch Upgrade Kits. Additionally, user accessibility is increased with the inclusion of the Remote Display and Wi-Fi
Upgrade Kits. Below is a breakdown of what each kit brings to the pool/spa system:
»SPA FLOW SWITCH UPGRADE KIT -
detects flow from spa, allowing the AquaRite+
to automatically reduce chlorinator output. No
secondary method is required to adjust the
chlorine levels in the spa.
»pH UPGRAGE KIT - control of both pH
measurement and acid addition for the pool
and spa. No secondary pH system is required
to balance the spa.
»ORP UPGRADE KIT - used in conjunction
with the pH kit to measure the water’s ORP
and controls chlorine output accordingly.
»TEMPERATURE PROBE UPGRADE KIT-
allows a heater to be controlled by the
AquaRite+ by measuring the water
temperature before the heater. Also, with
this kit, the AquaRite+ has the capability to
run ‘Heating’ and ‘Intelligent’ filtration modes.
These improve the pool system’s efficiency
through temperature sensing and filter pump
reactive programming.
»REMOTE DISPLAY UPGRADE KIT - mirrors
the display interface on the AquaRite+. Allows
a secondary point of pool/spa system control
for the user
»Wi-Fi NETWORK UPGRADE KIT - Enables
the AquaRite+ to communicate with the free
Vista Pool App, allowing the user to remotely
control the pool/spa system with a phone or
tablet.

Wall Mounted Installaon
The AquaRite+ must be installed a minimum 3.5 m horizontal distance (or more, if required by local regulations) from the pool, within 1 m
of an RCD protected general purpose outlet and within 4.5 m from where the T-Cell will be installed. The unit must be placed vertically on a
flat surface, with the cables downwards. As the unit enclosure is also used to evacuate heat (heat dissipation from internal components),
it is important that the four sides of the unit remain unobstructed. Do not to install the AquaRite+ behind a panel or in an enclosed space.
See the Wall Mounting Installation Template at the centrefold of this guide (between pages 10 -11) and use as an aid to drill accurate
holes for the installation.
Before installing the control unit in the intended location, check that the power cord can reach the protected outlet and that the cell cable
can reach the intended T-Cell location. Installation must be performed in accordance with Local/State/Federal Government codes and the
latest edition of the AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules.
Plumbing Installaon
Disconnect the pool filtration pump before starting the installation and remove pressure from the system.
The flow switch must be installed on the return pipe directly in line with the T-Cell and the liquid acid injection point (if optional pH Upgrade
Kit is used). Allow a 30 cm straight section before the flow switch if it is mounted in position 1 below. If it is mounted in position 2 below, then
the T-Cell can be counted as the 30 cm straight section of pipe.
The flow switch must be installed with the arrows on it pointing in the direction of water flow to ensure that it is tripped by the water flow
during filter pump operation. The T-Cell can also be mountd verticle as long as the water enters the cell from the bottom to keep it flooded
during operation.
(See page 6 for a comprehensive diagram of the AquaRite+ system with the optional accessories.)

IMPORTANT: There must be at least a 30 cm straight pipe run before (upstream) the Flow Switch.
IMPORTANT: ONLY use a hand screwdriver to fasten the mounting lugs to the
enclosure until the screws are firm. Use of a power tool will strip the threads out of
the plastic.
