Using The Programming Buttons - Hayward Pro Logic Operation Manual

Automatic System Operation
The Pro 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 programmed. This section will
guide you on how to program the automatic operation for each function.
The programming of automatic functions can be performed at either the main display/keypad located at the pool
equipment pad or the in-home remote display/keypad.

Using the programming buttons

There are 5 buttons on each keypad that are used for programming (refer to diagram).

There are 4 steps to programming any function:
1. Press the "MENU" button to get to the desired menu. Multiple pushes of the button will

rotate through all 6 menus and return to the starting point.

2. Press either key to scroll through the various items in the selected menu. Multiple pushes
of the button will rotate through all menu items and return to the starting point. Only menu
items that are applicable to your pool will appear. (Example: if you don't have a spa, then
no spa related menu items will appear).

3. Once a menu item has been selected above, the current setting/selection will appear (flashing)
on the display. Use the "+" and/or "-" keys to change this selection. Sometimes "+" and
"-" will adjust a value up or down (example: heater temperature setting or timeclock on/off
time). In this case, pushing the "+" or "-" will change the value by one increment and
holding the "+" or "-" button in for more than one second will make the values auto scroll.
In other cases, the "+" and "-" may toggle between 2 options (example: turning
superchlorination ON or OFF).

item to "lock in" your new setting. The Pro Logic memory will maintain the setting, even if
power is removed for an extended period.

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 Pro Logic will remind you to do this by displaying the message "Inspect/Clean
Cell" after approximately 500 hours of operation.
The Pro Logic electrolytic cell has a self cleaning feature incorporated into the electronic control's logic. In most
cases this self cleaning action will keep the cell working at optimum efficiency. In areas where water is hard (high
mineral content) or in pools where the water chemistry has been allowed to get "out of balance", the cell may
require periodic cleaning.
Servicing and Cleaning the Turbo Cell
Turn off power to the Pro Logic before removing the electrolytic cell. Once removed, look inside the cell and
inspect for scale formation (light colored crusty or flaky deposits) on the plates and for any debris which has
passed through the filter and caught on the plates. If no deposits are visible, reinstall. If deposits are seen, use a
high pressure garden hose and try to flush the scale off. If this is not successful, use a plastic or wood tool (do not
use metal as this will scratch the coating off the plates) and scrape deposits off of plates. Note that a buildup on the
cell indicates that there is an unusually high calcium level in the pool (old pool water is usually the cause). If this is
not corrected, you may to have to periodically clean the cell. The simplest way to avoid this is to bring the pool
chemistry to the recommended levels as specified.
Mild Acid Washing: Use only in severe cases where flushing and scraping will not remove the majority of
deposits. To acid wash, turn off power to Pro Logic. Remove cell from piping. In a clean plastic container, mix
a 2:1 solution of water to muriatic acid (one gallon of water to two quarts of muriatic acid). ALWAYS ADD ACID
TO WATER - NEVER ADD WATER TO ACID. Be sure to wear rubber gloves and appropriate eye protection.
The level of the solution in the container should just reach the top of the cell so that the wire harness compartment
is NOT submerged. It may be helpful to coil the wiring before immersing the cell. The cell should soak for a few
minutes and then rinse with a high pressure garden hose. If any deposits are still visible, repeat soaking and rinsing.
Replace cell and inspect again periodically.
Winterizing
The Pro Logic electrolytic cell and flow detection switch will be damaged by freezing water just as your pool
plumbing would. In areas of the country which experience severe or extended periods of freezing temperatures, be
sure to drain all water from the pump, filter, and supply and return lines before any freezing conditions occur. The
electronic control is capable of withstanding any winter weather and should not be removed.
If you are in an area that only experiences occasional freezing conditions, your Pro Logic system may be set up to
circulate the pool water whenever the air sensor drops to the selected freeze temperature threshold. Make sure
the air sensor is recording the correct temperature and is NOT located in the direct sunlight to ensure proper freeze
protection operation.
Spring Start-up
When first starting the pool in the spring time, it is highly recommended that you temporarily set the pool and spa
chlorinator settings (Pool Sanitizer & Spa Sanitizer in the Settings Menu) to 0% (off) and then manually shock the
pool with any chlorine based shock product and balance the pool water chemistry per the levels indicated in the
Chlorinator Operation section (page 26). Make sure to check the salt and stabilizer levels and bring them up to the
recommended levels. Your local Authorized Aqua Dealer or pool store can recommend the best chemical treat-
ment for your pool. After the water is clear and balanced, then go back and adjust the pool and spa chlorinator
settings to the appropriate levels. Test the pool chlorine level weekly and adjust the chlorinator settings up or down
accordingly.
It is usually a good idea to also inspect the cell and clean if necessary at the start of the season. See instructions
above.
