System Startup - Hayward OmniLogic HLBASE Installation Manual

Type of Salt to Use
It is important to use only sodium chloride (NaCl) salt that is greater than 99.0% pure. This can be found at most pool stores in 40-80 lb. bags labeled "for use
in swimming pools". Alternatively, use common food quality or water softener salt that is at least 99.0% pure. It is also acceptable to use water conditioning
salt pellets, however, it will take longer for them to dissolve. Do not use rock salt, or salt with more than 1% of yellow prussiate of soda, salt with anti-caking
additives, or iodized salt.
How to Add Salt
For new plaster pools, wait 10-14 days before adding salt to allow the plaster to cure. Turn the circulating pump on and add salt directly into the pool. Brush
the salt around to speed up the dissolving process—do not allow salt to pile up on the bottom of the pool. Run the filter pump for 24 hours with the suction
coming from the main drain (use pool vacuum if there is no main drain) to allow the salt to evenly disperse throughout the pool. The salt display may take 24
hours to respond to the change in salt concentration.
Always check stabilizer (cyanuric acid), when checking salt. These levels will most likely decline together. Use the chart below to determine how much stabilizer
must be added to raise the level to 40 ppm.
Before Startup
Before starting the OmniLogic for the first time, be sure that the following items have been completed:
1. Pool/spa chemicals are within the recommended levels according to the chart on page 20.
2. If using chlorinator function, pool/spa salt level is between 2700 – 3400 PPM Standard Salt or 1200-1800 PPM Low Salt (see page 29).
3. Properly rated circuit breakers are installed in the OmniLogic subpanel.
4. All wiring is performed according to NEC and local codes.
5. The OmniLogic is properly grounded and bonded.
Firmware Upgrade
The OmniLogic's firmware is the basic operating system that runs the unit. The OmniLogic was shipped with the version of firmware that was available at the
time of release. There may be a newer version available and if so, we encourage you to upgrade. Also, if you have experienced problems, Hayward Technical
Support may advise you to upgrade your OmniLogic firmware. To upgrade the OmniLogic firmware, refer to the procedure shown in the OmniLogic Operation
Manual. Upgrading firmware can be performed before or after Configuration but should be done before the OmniLogic begins operation.
