    When selecting a mounting location, note that the standard cables supplied with the included flow switch and TurboCell, as well as optional accessories like Hayward temperature sensors, are all 15 ft. (5m) long. Try to mount the AquaRite S3 at a height/location where the screen and keypad can be easily used.

For Pentair VSPs, a Hayward HLPMPCONV converter (sold separately) must be used. The pump and the AquaRite S3 are continuously powered as shown. The AquaRite S3 will control the pump’s function using the low voltage communication wiring.

  • Page 30: Remote Operation

    The AquaRite S3 can be configured to operate as a standalone chlorinator that is controlled by a Hayward Omni automation control or another AquaRite S3. In this configuration, the AquaRite S3 can only make chlorine and will have no other function. Chlorination settings and operation are managed by the Omni automation control or the Master AquaRite S3.
  • Page 31 With either configuration, the remote AquaRite S3 must have a connected flow switch and will not produce chlorine unless there is adequate flow. An AquaRite S3 in Master mode can also control a Hayward AquaRite AQR chlorinator using an HLAQRPCB communication board. Wire the RS-485 from the Master AquaRite S3 to the RS-485 on the communication board in the same manner as the diagrams on the previous page.
