OPERATION

The AquaRite Pro is an automatic chlorine generation system for pool or spa sanitization. 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 AquaRite Pro automatically sanitizes your pool by converting the salt into free chlorine which kills bacteria and algae in the pool. Chlorine will revert back to sodium chloride after killing bacteria. These reactions will continuously recycle virtually eliminating the need to add sanitizing chemicals to your pool. The only time you may need to add more salt to the pool is when water is replenished due to backwashing, draining, or splashing (not evaporation).

The AquaRite Pro is designed to handle the purification needs of most residential swimming pools up to 150 m^3 , or the needs of most commercial pools up to 95 m^3 . Check local codes for other restrictions. The actual amount of chlorination required to properly sanitize a pool varies due to bather load, rainfall, temperature, and the pool's cleanliness.

AquaRite Pro chlorine generators operating with software version 1.00 or later are designed to use one of 3 different chlorinator cells that are available from your authorized Hayward dealer. Choose the appropriate cell based on the size of your pool. The models are shown below:

T-CELL-15-E - for pools up to 150 m ^3

T-CELL-9-E - for pools up to 95 m ^3

T-CELL-3-E - for pools up to 60 m ^3

Note that the installation and mounting requirements are the same for all models.

The AquaRite Pro can be used with the optional Goldline AQL-CHEM to provide a fully integrated chemistry solution for your pool. With the AQL-CHEM installed, the AquaRite Pro senses the pool's ORP and pH levels and automatically generates the correct amount of chlorine to keep your pool properly sanitized. The AquaRite Pro can also control pH by introducing acid into the pool when needed. A dedicated on/off control output is available for pH dispensing devices using 230 V\~. The AquaRite Pro and AQL-CHEM products offer the user a complete automated system controlling both sanitization and pH balance.

NOTE: It is not recommended to use the AquaRite Pro to generate bromine.

NOTE: Before installing this product as part of a saline water purification system in a pool or spa using natural stone for coping or for immediately adjacent patios/decking, a qualified stone installation specialist should be consulted regarding the appropriate type, installation, sealant (if any) and maintenance of stone used around a saline pool with electronic chlorine generator in your particular location and circumstances.

Water Chemistry

The table below summarizes the levels that are recommended by Hayward. The only special requirements for the AquaRite Pro are the salt level and stabilizer. It is important to maintain these levels in order to prevent corrosion or scaling and to ensure maximum enjoyment of the pool. Test your water periodically. Your authorized AquaRite Pro dealer or most pool stores can provide you with the chemicals and procedures to adjust the water chemistry. Be sure to tell the pool store that you are using an AquaRitePro chlorine generator.

CHEMICAL IDEAL LEVELS

Salt 2.7 to 3.4 g/l
Free Chlorine 1.0 to pH 7.2 to 7.6	3.0 ppm
Cyanuric Acid (Stabilizer)	20 to 30 ppm (25 ppm best)Add stabilizer only if necessary
Total Alkalinity 80 to Calcium Hardness 200 to 300 ppm
Metals 0 ppm
Saturation Index -.2 to .2 (0 best)

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 Si is above +0.2, scaling and staining will occur. Use the chart below to determine the saturation index.

How to use: Measure pool pH, temperature, calcium hardness, and total alkalinity. Use the chart above to determine Ti, Ci and Ai into the above equation. If Si equals 0.2 or more, scaling and staining may occur. If Si equals -0.2 or less corrosion or irritation may occur.

CORROSIVE -0.2 0 0.2 OK SCALING

Salt Level

Use the chart on page 4 to determine how much salt in Kgs need to be added to reach the recommended levels. Use the equations below if pool size is unknown.

	M3(pool size in meters)
Rectangular	Length x Width xAverage Depth
Round	Diameter x Diameter xAverage Depth x 0.785
Oval	Length x Width xAverage Depth x 0.893

The ideal salt level is between 2.7 - 3.4 g/L (parts per million) with 3.2 g/L being optimal. If the level is low, determine the number of M ^3 in the pool and add salt according to the chart on page 4. A low salt level will reduce the efficiency of the AquaRite Pro and result in low chlorine production. A high salt level can cause the AquaRite Pro to shutdown and may begin to give a salty taste to your pool (generally, the salt will begin to be tasted at a level of about 3.5 - 4.0 g/L). The salt in your pool/spa is constantly recycled and the loss of salt throughout the swimming season should be small. This loss is due primarily to the addition of water because of splashing, backwashing, or draining (because of rain). Salt is not lost due to evaporation.

Type of Salt to Use

It is important to use only sodium chloride (NaCl) salt that is greater than 99% pure. Use only salt for electronic chlorine generator usually available in 25 Kg bags. Do not use rock salt, salt with yellow prussiate of soda, salt with anti-caking additives, or iodized salt.

How to Add or Remove 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 vac 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.

The only way to lower the salt concentration is to partially drain the pool and refill with fresh water.

Always check stabilizer (cyanuric acid), when checking salt. These levels will most likely decline together. Use the chart on page 5 to determine how much stabilizer must be added to raise the level to 25 ppm. Use stabilizer only if necessary.

Controls

Keypad Buttons

RUN/STOP: The AquaRite Pro will toggle back and forth between RUN and STOP with each push of the RUN/STOP button.

RUN: When in RUN mode, the AquaRite Pro will produce chlorine according to the desired output % or ORP setting (when AQL-CHEM is used) for the entire filtering/pumping cycle. The AquaRite Pro can only produce chlorine when RUN is selected and the filter pump is running.

STOP: When in STOP mode, the AquaRite Pro is prevented from energizing the electrolytic cell. In this position there is no chlorine generation. NOTE: To service any of the pool equipment or the AquaRite Pro, the power must be turned off at the circuit breaker.

SUPER CHLORINATE: (if optional AQL-CHEM sensing is NOT used) When you have an abnormally high bather load, a large amount of rain, a cloudy water condition, or any other condition which needs a large amount of purification to be introduced, SUPER CHLORINATE should be selected. This electronically “super chlorinates” (shocks) the water for a user selectable period of 1-96 hours (filter pump must be on during this time) or until the power has been turned off, whichever comes first. The AquaRite Pro will automatically revert back to the previous desired output % setting at the end of the super chlorinate period.

INFO: Push the INFO button to enter the Information Menu (see Information Me page 7).

SETTINGS: Push the SETTINGS button to enter the Settings Menu (see Settings Menu page 9).

dURSORS (+, -, <, >): Use these buttons to scroll through submenus, make selections and adjust values.

RUN/STOP: When illuminated, the AquaRite Pro is in automatic mode and will produce chlorine based on the desired output % or ORP setting (when AQL-CHEM is used). When the LED is off, the AquaRite Pro has been manually turned off. It will not produce chlorine until RUN has been selected.

SUPER CHLORINATE: When illuminated, the Super Chlorinate feature is active.

CHECK SYSTEM: When Check System is illuminated, an error has occurred that requires attention. Refer to the Troubleshooting section of this manual for possible errors and solutions.

Information Menu

The Information Menu displays valuable system and pool information. The AquaRite Pro will default to displaying a portion of the Information Menu when no buttons have been pushed for 2 minutes. The unit will automatically scroll through several status displays. To access all of the Information Menu items, push the INFO button on the front panel. Advance through the various menu items using the "<" or ">" buttons. A list of the Information Menu items is shown below.

If ORP Auto Sensing is not used

Chlorinator 50 % Super Chlorinate 22:15 remaining

The AquaRite Pro desired output % is shown here. If Super Chlorinate is active, the display will show the time remaining until the AquaRite Pro will return to the desired output %. This menu is disabled if an AQL-CHEM is used and ORP Auto Sensing is enabled (see AQL-CHEM manual).

If AQL-CHEM is used

This display will be shown only if chemical sensing is enabled. This display shows both pH and ORP levels/status when chemistry sensing is enabled via the Chemistry Configuration Wizard (requires the use of AQL-CHEM Sensing Kit). The AquaRite Pro will refer to these levels to determine how much chlorine to generate (ORP) and how much acid to dispense (pH). Refer to the AQL-CHEM manual for specific information about these levels as well as the recommended ranges.

+- Press to switch chlorinator operation to opposite polarity (15 second delay) <> Move to previous/next menu item

+/- 23.45V is the voltage applied to the chlorinator cell
+/-6.75A is the current (amps) through the cell
29°C is the water temperature at the cell
3.2 g/L is the “instant” salt level at this time

For the chlorinator to be operating, several conditions must exist: the filter pump must be running, the flow switch must be detecting flow, the chlorinator setting must be set greater than 0%, the water temperature at the cell must be between 12°C and 60°C, and the salt level must be within the operating range. If any of these conditions are not met, the chlorinator diagnostic display will tell you the reason. It’s possible to have more than one reason, in which case after you rectify what was displayed the first time, a second display will appear.

If the current (amps) display is 0.00A, then the chlorinator is operating normally but is in the off part of its normal operating cycle. Simply press either the “+” or “-” key to start a new cycle.

The AquaRite Pro periodically reverses the polarity of the voltage applied to the cell in order to automatically clean off any calcium deposits that may have built up on the cell. It is important that you check the chlorinator operation in both polarities. To do this, press either the “+” or “-” buttons and the chlorinator will turn off, wait for 15 seconds and then turn on in the opposite polarity.

Operation

Assuming that the water chemical levels are in the recommended range, there are three factors that you can control which directly contribute to the amount of chlorine the AquaRite Pro will generate:

1. filter run time each day (hours)
2. the desired output % setting or ORP setting (when using AQL-CHEM)
3. the amount of salt in the pool

The filter pump timer should be set so that entire volume of pool water passes through the filter each day. For pools with high chlorine demand, the timer may have to be set longer to generate enough chlorine.

If optional AQL-CHEM sensing is NOT used. To find the optimum desired output % setting, start at approximately 50%. Test the chlorine level every few days and adjust the setting up or down accordingly. It usually takes 2-3 adjustments to find the ideal setting for your pool/spa and after that, it should only take minor, infrequent adjustments. Because the chlorine demand of the pool increases with temperature, most people find they have to adjust the desired output up at the peak of the summer and down during the colder periods.

The AquaRite Pro automatically stops generating when the pool water temperatures drops below 12^ C. This is usually not a problem because bacteria and algae

stop growing at this temperature. You can override this low temperature cutoff by using the Super Chlorinate function for a day.

Prevent overchlorination during cold weather: Check chlorine levels periodically. Most pools require less chlorine during cold weather and the desired output % setting should be lowered accordingly.

Maintaining the AquaRite Pro System

To maintain maximum performance, it is recommended that you open and visually inspect the cell every 3 months or after cleaning your filter. The AquaRite Pro will remind you to do this by displaying the message “Inspect/Clean Cell” after approximately 500 hours of operation.

The AquaRite Pro 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) and in pools where the water chemistry has been allowed to get "out of balance", the cell may require periodic cleaning.

Servicing and Cleaning the AquaRite Pro Cell

Turn off power to the AquaRite Pro 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 AquaRite Pro. Remove cell from piping. In a clean plastic container, mix a solution of water to acetic or phosphoric acid (Like descaler for coffee machine). 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 AquaRite Pro 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.

Spring Start-up

DO NOT turn the AquaRite Pro on, until the pool water chemistry has been brought to the proper levels. This information can be found on page 2

NOTE: If the pool does not have new water, add 1 liter of metal remover and 1 liter of non-copper based algaecide to the pool, per manufacturer's instructions. This ensures a quick, troublefree transfer to the AquaRite Pro system.

Mounting the AquaRite Pro Control

The AquaRite Pro is contained in a raintight enclosure that is suitable for outdoor mounting. The control must be mounted a minimum 3.5 meters horizontal distance (or more, if local codes require) from the pool/spa.

The control is designed to mount horizontally on a flat surface with the knockouts facing downward. Because the enclosure also acts as a heat sink (disperses heat from inside the box), it is important not to block the four sides of the control. Do not mount AquaRite Pro inside a panel or tight enclosed area.

If an AQL-CHEM kit will be used, take into consideration the space necessary for mounting the unit as well as running the plumbing lines from the AQL-CHEM's probe cell to the pool plumbing. Refer to the AQL-CHEM manual for specific mounting instructions.

Plumbing

Ensure that the AquaRite Pro installation does not constitute a cross connection with the local potable water supply. Consult local plumbing codes.

The AquaRite Pro is packaged with a flow switch that installs into either the supplied 50 mm or 63 mm saddle clamp. The chlorinator cell, sold separately, installs into the supplied 50 mm cell unions. For 63 mm pool plumbing, use the supplied adaptors to install the cell unions. Refer to page 1 for information about available chlorinator cells.

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.). For proper plumbing, refer to the overview diagram on page 13. Below, alternate configuration #1, #2 and #3 shows the flow switch must be in front of the cell.

Never use configuration #4. The #2 is the best configuration.

Flow Switch:

IMPORTANT: There must be at least a 30 cm straight pipe run before (upstream) the flow switch. The flow switch must be plumbed before the cell. To ensure proper operation, verify that the arrow on the flow switch (located on top of gray hex) points in the direction of water flow. Refer to the diagram on page 15.

Electrolytic Cell:

Install using the unions provided. Tighten unions BY HAND for a watertight seal. For pool/spa combination systems with spillover, use configurations #2 or #3 on page 14 to allow chlorination of both the pool and spa during spillover but preventing overchlorination when operating the spa only.

Wiring

Power must be shut off at the circuit breaker before performing any wiring. Be sure to follow Local electrical codes. To provide safe operation, the AquaRite Pro must be properly grounded. All metal equipments of the pool must be at the same electrical potential (ground).

Input Power:

Wire the AquaRite Pro to the 230 V\~ from the subpanel.

This circuit must be protected by a differential protection device that protects against no more than 30ma leakage current.

Input power to the AquaRite Pro must be 230 V\~. Refer to the wiring label on the AquaRite Pro as well as the diagram below for correct wiring connections.

Electrolytic Cell and Flow Switch:

The electrolytic cell and flow switch cables are terminated with connectors which plug into the AquaRite Pro for easy attachment and removal. The door of the AquaRite Pro must be open and the front panel removed to access the cell cable and flow switch connectors. Route the flow switch cable through one of the knockouts. A cutout in the enclosure is provided for the cell cable. The diagram below shows the location of these connections.

Optional AQL-CHEM Chemistry Kit

Plug the connector from the AQL-CHEM into the designated connector on the AquaRite Pro PCB as shown below. For detailed installation and operation information, refer to the AQL-CHEM instructions.

Connector for AQL-CHEM

Optional pH Dispense Wiring

Requires the use of a Goldline AQL-CHEM. A screw terminal block located on the enclosure surface below the transformer is provided for connection to a 230 V\~ pH related dispensing device (peristaltic pumps). After properly installing and configuring the AQL-CHEM and the pH dispensing device, the AquaRite Pro will turn on the dispensing device when pH correction is required.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Check System Indicator

The “CHECK SYSTEM” LED will alert you when the AquaRite Pro detects any of the following conditions that are abnormal and require attention for optimal operation of your pool. Press “<” or “>” to view all of the existing “Check System” conditions.

• Inspect Cell -- For optimum operation, you will need to inspect the AquaRite Pro chlorinator cell approximately every 3 months and clean the cell if necessary. The AquaRite Pro will automatically remind you when it is time and display “Inspect Cell, + to reset” as part of the rotating Default Menu. Clean the cell (see instructions, page 12) and then press the “+” button during the “Inspect Cell” display to reset the timer.
• Low Salt/Minerals or Very Low Salt/Minerals -- When the salt is too low the AquaRite Pro will generate less chlorine and the life of the cell is degraded. Check the cell and clean if necessary before adding salt.
• High Salt/Amps/Minerals -- The AquaRite Pro will stop generating chlorine under certain high salt conditions in order to protect the internal electronics from damage. The only way to lower the salt level is to partially drain the pool and add fresh water.
• Chlorinator Cell Sensor -- The cell sensor is either an open or short circuit.
• Low Volts -- If the chlorinator cell voltage is too low.
• No Cell Power -- If no chlorinator cell power is detected on the printed circuit board.
• Check Flow Switch -- If the flow switch input is invalid.
• Cell Power Error -- If a chlorinator cell power error is detected on the printed circuit board.
• Cell Missing -- If the chlorinator is enabled but no cell is detected.
• CSM Comm Error: -- If Chemistry Sensing is enabled and the Chemistry Sense Module (CSM) is not responding.
• pH Probe Error -- If the CSM indicates that there is a problem with the pH probe.
• pH Low - Check Feeder -- If a pH level of 6.9 or less is detected, check the feeder for proper operation
• pH High - Check Feeder -- If a pH level of 8.1 or higher is detected, check the chemical supply and the feeder for proper operation
• pH Timeout - Check Feeder -- If the unit has been dispensing for more than the selected timeout without reaching the desired level. Check the chemical supply and the feeder. If both are OK, the timeout may need to be increased. Press the “+” button to reset the alarm and resume dispensing.
• pH Calibration Error -- When using the pH Calibration Wizard and the entered test result was different from the measured pH level by ± 1.0 or more. The pH probe may need to be cleaned or replaced.
