IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS When using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: READ AND FOLLOW ALL • INSTRUCTIONS • Use Copper Conductors Only • Disconnect all AC power during installation. • Warning - To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
The operation requires a low concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the pool water. These levels are low enough that it normally will not be tasted. The Aqua Rite automatically sanitizes your pool by converting the salt into free chlorine which kills bacteria and algae in the pool.

Saturation index The saturation index (Si) relates to the calcium and alkalinity in the water and is an indicator of the pool water "balance". Your water is properly balanced if the Si is 0 ±.2. If the Si is below -0.2, the water is corrosive and plaster pool walls will be dissolved into the water.

If the level is low, determine the number of gallons in the pool and add salt according to the chart on page 4. A low salt level will reduce the efficiency of the Aqua Rite and result in low chlorine production. A high salt level can cause ®...
OFF: The OFF position prevents the Aqua Rite from energizing the electrolytic cell. In this position there is no chlorine generation. NOTE: To service any of the pool equipment or the Aqua Rite, turn the power off at the circuit breaker. Indicator LED's POWER When illuminated, the Aqua Rite has input power.

"Desired Output %" adjustment knob The "Desired Output %" adjustment knob is located in the lower center of the Aqua Rite control panel. This setting is used to control the amount of chlorine the Aqua Rite generates. Raise this setting to increase chlorine level and lower it to decrease chlorine level.
Spring Start-up DO NOT turn the Aqua Rite on, until the pool water chemistry has been brought to the proper levels. This information can be found on page 1.
Aqua Rite system. Mounting the Aqua Rite Control The Aqua Rite is contained in a raintight enclosure that is suitable for outdoor mount- ing. The control must be mounted a minimum of 5 ft. (2 meters) horizontal dis- tance (or more, if local codes require) from the pool/spa.
Plumbing Ensure that the Aqua Rite installation does not constitute a cross connection with ® the local potable water supply. Consult local plumbing codes. The flow switch and cell should be plumbed in the return line to the pool/spa. The preferred installation is after (downstream) all the pool equipment (filter, heater, solar, etc.).
Input Power For stand alone operation: Wire the Aqua Rite to the LOAD SIDE of the filter pump timer. It is very important that the Aqua Rite is powered only when the pump is running.

The Goldline, Pentair and Polaris controls use a 4 wire connection to communicate to the Aqua Rite and can be wired up to 500' apart. Any outdoor rated 4 conductor cable can be used. Refer to each manufacturer's instructions and the wiring diagrams below for proper wiring connection to the Aqua Rite.

Aqua Rite control. Verify input voltage with a voltme- ter. If there is input power, the fuse may have blown. The Aqua Rite is protected by a 20 amp mini ATO fuse located on the circuit board above the cell connector.

- Salt level too high (High Salt LED on). - Very warm pools increase chlorine demand--increase Output %, or filter run time. - Cold water (below 50ºF) causes Aqua Rite to stop generating (Generating LED flash- ing). - Excessive scaling on cell.

Goldline, the manufacturing datecode on the Aqua Rite, Aqua Rite Pro, Aqua Trol, Aqua Logic and Pro Logic electronics unit will be the sole determinant of the date of the initial system installation.
