  • Page 2 • Overfeed Timers prevent potentially dangerous, unintentional dispensing of chemicals. Hayward recommends always having the “Overfeed Timeout” functions enabled as a precautionary measure. By disabling the “Overfeed Timeout” the overfeeding of chemi- cals could occur and create unsafe water chemistry conditions. Overfeeding chemicals is dangerous and could potentially harm patrons.
  • Page 3 Foreword Congratulations on your wise investment. The product you have selected from the CAT 1000 line of automated controllers should provide you with substantially reduced chemical maintenance, improved compliance with safe water quality standards, chemical cost savings, and many years of reliable operation.
  • Page 4: Introduction

    The ideal pH range for pools and spas is 7.4 - 7.6. The CAT 1000 controller is preset from the factory to maintain pH 7.5. If pH is maintained below 7.4 (too acidic), eye irritation, corrosion of equipment, and damage to the pool or spa surface can occur.
  • Page 5 The Flow Cell provides a convenient location for mounting the pH sensor while ensuring ideal hydraulic conditions to maximize sensor performance and life. The CAT 1000 controller unit scans and interprets the signals from the pH sensor, displays water quality readings in digital format, and activates chemical feeder in proportion to the demand re- quired to maintain the pH setpoint level.

    10. If new or additional chemical feeders are to be used with the controller, install according to manufacturer’s instructions at this time. 11. Connect chemical feeder to the controller as labeled. 12. Check all electrical and mechanical connections. Resume filtration system operation and check for any leaks.

  • Page 8: Pool Chemistry

    Now that your new controller has been physically installed, water chemistry should be tested and adjusted prior to initiating automated control of the pool or spa. Confirm that your pool or spa water conforms to the following ranges before powering on and setting up the CAT 1000. Test...
  • Page 9 Selecting Acid or Base Feed The CAT 1000 is preset from the factory to operate in the acid feed mode (when pH exceeds the setpoint, the pH chemical feeder is activated). If the sanitizer used at your pool or spa causes the pH to decrease you must select base feed mode.
  • Page 10 Changing the pH Setpoint The CAT 1000 is preset from the factory to maintain pH at 7.5. To set pH control at a different level, perform the following: Press the pH Setpoint Adjustment Button (#4) until the green “SET” LED is illuminated.
  • Page 11 As the difference increases, the duration the pH feed output is turned on increases to 20, 30, 40, and 50 seconds of the 60 second cycle, and then the pH feed output is turned on continuously. This is the default setting. USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS...
  • Page 12 P.OF (pH Overfeed Timer) Overfeed Timers prevent potentially dangerous, unintentional dispensing of chemicals. Hayward recommends always having the “Overfeed Timeout” functions enabled as a precautionary mea- sure. By disabling the “Overfeed Timeout” the overfeeding of chemicals could occur and create unsafe water chemistry conditions.
  • Page 13: Display Functions

    The Beeper setting allows the audible alarm to be enabled (default) or disabled. Srl (Serial Interface) The CAT 1000 includes a standard RS232 serial interface. A header assembly and cable are required to connect. Onl: Online Communications. Use this selection when the controller is attached to a PC or building automation system.

  • Page 15: System Maintenance

    System Maintenance CAT 1000 Controller The CAT 1000 controller unit is virtually maintenance free. Cleaning of the enclosure, front panel and flow cell can be performed using a clean, soft cloth moistened with mild soap and water solution or glass cleaner. Use of abrasives or harsh chemicals may damage the enclosure and membrane switch panel.
  • Page 16: Troubleshooting

    Winterization The pH sensor should be prepared for storage as outlined above and protected from freezing tem- peratures. Although the CAT 1000 controller is designed to withstand a broad temperature range, winter storage in a secure location is desirable. The flow cell and poly tubing must be drained prior to exposure to freezing temperatures. Either purge all water using compressed air or thoroughly drain through the valve ports and tubing con- nections.
