    System Overview The Hayward Pro Logic is a multifunction pool controller used to fully manage your pool/spa system. The Pro Logic can control pumps, valves, lighting, heaters, and chlorination. Although the Pro Logic is easy to use, it is important to completely read through this operating manual before attempting to operate the control.

  • Page 5: Chlorination

    The actual amount of chlorination required to properly sanitize a pool varies due to bather load, rainfall, temperature, and the pool’s cleanliness. For pools larger than 40,000 gallons, the Pro Logic can control one or more Hayward Aqua Rite chlorinators to supplement chlorine production.

    Manual System Operation While the main objective of the Pro 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 manually. To operate the pool equipment manually while keeping the automation active, perform the following procedures.
