  • Page 4: System Overview Block Diagram

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

  • Page 5: Default Display

    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 Aqua Plus can control one or more Goldline Aqua Rite chlorinators to supplement chlorine production.

  • Page 6: Manual System Filter Pump

    Manual System Operation While the main objective of the Aqua Plus 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.

  • Page 7: Operation Lights And Aux Outputs

    Lights, Aux1 and Aux2 Outputs Standard Relay: Manual operation of all 3 relays is identical. Assuming that the relay is currently off, simply press the appropriate button to turn on the relay. If the relay does not turn on, it probably is due to the “interlock” feature (which was set up in the Configuration Menu) being activated that requires the filter pump to be running and the valves to be in the pool-only position.

  • Page 8: Automatic System Using The Programming Buttons

    Automatic System Operation The Aqua Plus 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.

  • Page 9: Operation Programming Menu Flow Chart

    Programming Menu Flowchart The Aqua Plus’s six menus have many items that allow you to customize the operation of your pool/spa equipment.

  • Page 10: (Programming) Settings Menu

    The Default Menu is a series of informative displays (temperatures, salt levels, chlorinator settings, etc.) with nothing to set. The Aqua Plus will automatically switch to the default menu when no keys have been pressed for 2 minutes and will then scroll through each display. The Settings Menu and the Timers Menu are the menus you will be using most often to adjust the operation of your pool.

    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 Aqua Plus will remind you to do this by displaying the message “Inspect/Clean Cell” after approximately 500 hours of operation. The Aqua Plus electrolytic cell has a self cleaning feature incorporated into the electronic control’s logic.
