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 The Aqua Logic is also an automatic chlorine generation system for pool and/or spa sanitization. The operation requires a low concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the pool/spa water. The Aqua Logic automatically converts the salt into free chlorine which kills bacteria and algae in the pool/spa. Chlorine will revert back to sodium chloride after killing bacteria. -
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. -

Pressing the POOL/SPA button again will switch back to pool-only. -
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. -

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. The Default Menu is a series of informative displays (temperatures, salt levels, chlorinator settings, etc.) with nothing to set. -

The Settings Menu and the Timers Menu are the menus you will be using most often to adjust the operation of your pool.

Refer to page 9 for general notes regarding timeclock programming. If your pool has a separate jet pump or blower controlled by Aux1 and/or Aux2 , you will have to program those separately (see below).

Questions and answers
System unable check water temp. whether in spa or pool mode. Heater will not come on.
@Paul Bunnell
If the Goldline Aqua Logic AQ-LOGIC-P-4 system is unable to check water temperature and the heater will not turn on in spa or pool mode, possible issues include:
1. Temperature Sensor Problem: The system uses a 10K ohm thermistor-type water temperature sensor. If this sensor is missing, damaged, or not connected properly, the system cannot detect water temperature and the heater will not activate.
2. Heater Not Enabled: If Heater1 is set to "Disabled" in the configuration menu, it will not operate.
3. Heater Not in Correct Valve Position: The heater only turns on when the pool/spa valves are in the “pool only” or “spa spillover” position and the filter pump is running.
4. Filter Pump Not Running: The heater requires the filter pump to be running. If it's off, the heater won’t activate.
5. Solar Priority Enabled Without Solar Heat: If solar priority is enabled and solar heat is not available, the conventional heater will not operate.
6. Freeze Protection Mode Active: If freeze protection is active, the pump may run but the heater will not operate unless other conditions are met.
7. Heater Set to Remote and Displaying “OFF”: If the heater is being controlled remotely by Aqua Logic, it may display “OFF.” If manually changed to “POOL” or “SPA” on the heater, remote control is disabled and the system may not function as expected.
Check these conditions to identify the cause.
