  • Page 4: System Overview Block Diagram

    System Overview The Aqua Logic is a multifunction pool controller used to fully manage your pool/spa system. The Aqua Logic can control pumps, valves, lighting, heaters, and chlorination. Although the Aqua Logic is easy to use, it is important to completely read through this operating manual before attempting to operate the control.
  • Page 5: Chlorination

    Chlorination With the use of the optional AQL-CL chlorination kit, the Aqua Logic is also an automatic chlorine genera- tion system for pool and/or spa sanitization. If enabled (see Configuration Menu), this operation requires a low concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the pool/spa water. The Aqua Logic automatically con- verts the salt into free chlorine which kills bacteria and algae in the pool/spa.
  • Page 6: Manual System Filter Pump

    Manual System Operation While the main objective of the Aqua Logic is to automate the operation of your pool/spa system, there may be certain times when you want to override the automatic operation and control the equipment manu- ally. To operate the pool equipment manually while keeping the automation active, perform the following procedures.

  • Page 8: Automatic System Using The Programming Buttons

    Automatic System Operation The Aqua Logic controls most of your pool equipment automatically in order to minimize the time spent working on your pool. Most of the pool equipment can be programmed to operate on a timeclock basis. In addition, the desired pool and spa temperatures and pool and spa chlorinator settings can be pro- grammed.
  • Page 9: Operation Programming Menu Flow Chart

    Programming Menu Flowchart The Aqua Logic’s five menus have many items in each menu that allow you to customize the operation of your pool/spa equipment. The chart below shows the Aqua Logic’s five menus as well as each menu’s specific settings denotes conditional items PS-4 only PS-4 only...
  • Page 10: (Programming) Settings Menu

    The Default Menu is a series of informative displays (temperatures, salt levels, chlorinator settings, etc.) with nothing to set. The Aqua Logic will automatically switch to the default menu when no keys have been pressed for 2 minutes and will then scroll through each display. The Settings Menu and the Timers Menu are the menus you will be using most often to adjust the operation of your pool.

    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 the Aqua Logic can not communicate with the transmitter/receiver base station attached to the main unit.
  • Page 14 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.

  • Page 28: Chlorinator Operation/Saturation Index

    Chlorinator Operation / Water Chemistry General Water Chemistry Salt is required only if you are using the chlorinator features on the Aqua Logic Control. If you are NOT using the chlorinator, it is recommended that you follow all of the other chemistry recommendations be- sides salt.
  • Page 29: Water Chemistry Salt Level

    The pool’s chemistry must be balanced BEFORE activating the Aqua Logic’s optional chlorinator func- tion. 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 Aqua Logic system.
  • Page 32: System Maintenance Servicing And Cleaning The Turbo Cell

    System Maintenance To maintain maximum performance, it is recommended that you open and visually inspect the cell every 3 months or after cleaning your filter. The Aqua Logic will remind you to do this by displaying the message “Inspect/Clean Cell” after approximately 500 hours of operation. The Aqua Logic electrolytic cell has a self cleaning feature incorporated into the electronic control’s logic.

    Troubleshooting and Diagnostic Information The Aqua Logic provides 2 different tools to aid in troubleshooting any problems that may occur in your pool and/or spa system. The Service mode will allow you to disable automatic operation and manually control most of the equipment (the heater and general purpose Valve3 output are the exceptions). The Diagnostic Menu will provide some detailed information regarding system operation.
