POOLWARDEN OVERVIEW
ControlOMatic, with over 20 years of technological leadership in Pool & Spa Chemical Control Systems,
congratulates you on your selection of the PoolWarden Chemical Controller. PoolWarden measures pH,
sanitizer and temperature on up to two bodies of water and will control the appropriate feed equipment to keep
the measurements within a preprogrammed range. Using ORP (oxidation reduction potential) technology the
control of sanitizer takes into account the effects of pH, and a pH lockout feature is also included for high pH
values. Supporting both 110 and 220 VAC, the PoolWarden will control chemical feed equipment using relays
to keep the pool or spa water in balance. Water measurements are taken continuously while PoolWarden's
internal relay programing determines if chemical adjustments are needed. PoolWarden then communicates
the adjustment signals through relays which control the chemical feed equipment. PoolWarden also contains
additional dry-contact auxiliary relays that can be used to control heaters, pumps, chlorine backup and
external alarm notifications.
SYSTEM COMPONENTS
⧫
CONTROLLER:
PoolWarden is a microprocessor based, modular automation system that is
capable of continuous monitoring locally onsite or remotely offsite.
⧫
INTERFACE:
PoolWarden uses a 16-button built in keypad, and an easy to read 80 character
liquid crystal display. The display’s internal back-light provides controller viewing in pool rooms with low
light conditions. Back-light illumination time can be adjusted to suit the operator.
⧫
MEMORY:
PoolWarden is designed with nonvolatile memory which preserves all internal programming in
case of power loss. Internal memory is preserved for up to 10 years without having power applied.
⧫
RELAYS:
PoolWarden S (single pool) includes 4 relays (2 of which are dry contact relays). PoolWarden
D (two pools) includes 8 relays. Four of the 8 relays are dry contact relays (2 for each body of water).
⧫
SENSORS:
ORP Sensor, pH Sensor, Temperature Sensor and Flow Sensor.
⧫
VOLTAGE:
PoolWarden is designed with an ON/OFF switch and requires 120 VAC Input Voltage to
operate.
⧫
SECURITY:
PoolWarden is designed with a lockable enclosure and provides up to four levels of password
security protection (Admin, Tech, Service and Guest) for both local onsite and remote offsite interaction
with the controller.
⧫
COMMUNICATION:
PoolWarden can connect to the Internet for direct monitoring, setup, and data
interface via a WIFI or Ethernet option.
⧫
DATA:
PoolWarden will record up to 8192 lines of data with the built in internal memory.
⧫
HEATERS:
Auxiliary relays can control pool heaters with up to two set-points for each day to facilitate
energy management.
⧫
PUMP CONTROL:
Auxiliary relays can be setup as a simple timer for controlling the on/off state of
main pumps.
⧫
OVERFEED PROTECTION:
PoolWarden is designed with overfeed protection. Standard Overfeed limits
the amount of time a relay can turn on feed equipment in a 24-Hour period.
⧫
PROPORTIONAL FEED:
Proportionally reduces the on-time as the measurement gets closer to the set-
point to prevent overshoot.
⧫
E-MAIL ALERTS:
PoolWarden provides support for 4 email addresses. Alarm alerts can be sent directly
from the controller for real-time management.
⧫
DIGITAL FLOW SENSORS:
PoolWarden can track flow rate and flow volume.
⧫
AUXILIARY RELAYS:
Auxiliary relays can control additional / backup sanitizer or acid feed pumps.
