Heater1
If the heater is “Enabled”, the heater relay will turn on when the water temperature is less than the
desired temperature setting and the filter pump is running. The desired temperature is in the “Settings
Menu”. If applicable, the homeowner will be prompted to enter separate “pool” and “spa” settings.
Depending on the position of the pool/spa suction valve, the proper temperature setting will be used.
Heater1 Cooldown
This feature ensures that the heater cools down before water circulation is stopped. When enabled,
the Aqua Plus will continue to run the filter pump for 5 minutes after the heater turns off. During this
period the filter pump LED will flash and also a “Heater Cooldown, X:XX remaining” message will
scroll on the display.
When the filter pump is running and the heater is on: Pressing the “Filter” button once will cause the
heater to turn off, but the filter pump will continue to run for heater cooldown (filter LED flashing and
message on display). Pushing the filter button a second time will override the heater cooldown
operation and turn the filter pump off.
Heater Extend1
If “Enabled”, the filter extend logic keeps the filter pump running beyond the normal turn-off time until
the pool (or spa) is heated up to the desired temperature setting (see Settings Menu). Heater extend
will NOT cause the filter pump to turn on, it will only delay the turn off time when the heater is
operating.
Allow Low Speed
This menu only appears if the filter is configured for 2-speed or variable speed operation. During
default operation, high speed mode is used whenever the heater is on. If Allow Low Speed is enabled,
low speed will be allowed even if the heater is on.

Lights External Input Interlock
When Lights External Input Interlock is enabled, the lights output will be forced off when the external
input is active. This will have precedence over freeze protection. Lights External Input Interlock is not
available for solar, low speed filter pump, dimmer, super chlorinate, or pH dispense functions.
Lights Freeze Protection
This function helps protect equipment that is wired to the lights relay against freeze damage. If Freeze
Protection is enabled and the AIR temperature sensor falls below the selected freeze temperature
threshold, the Aqua Plus will energize the lights relay. IMPORTANT: this only enables operation of
the lights relay during freeze--see the “Filter Pump Config.” menu to enable freeze protection for the
main circulation system.
NOTE: The configuration parameters for the Aux2 output are the same as shown below for Aux1.

Aux1 Function
Manual On/Off (default)
—the aux relay will alternate between turning on and off when the aux button
is pressed. There is no automatic control logic.
Countdown Timer
– the aux relay will turn on when the AUX button is pressed and then will turn off
automatically after a programmed time (see Timers Menu, Operation Manual). The AUX button can
also be used to turn the output off.
Low Speed of a 2-speed Filter Pump
– the Aqua Plus will operate the aux relay whenever the low
speed operation of the filter pump is required. It is very important that the “2-speed” filter pump
option be selected under the “Filter Config.” Menu for proper operation.
Timeclock
– the aux relay will turn-on and turn-off at the times set for the aux1 timeclock in the Timers
Menu. The AUX button can also be used to turn the output on and off.
Solar
– the aux relay operates a solar booster pump which will turn on when the filter pump is running
and solar heat is available and the water is less than the desired temperature setting. It is important to
note that “Solar Control” must be enabled in the “Solar Config.” menu for proper operation to occur.
Super Chlorinate
– if “Chlorinator” is enabled, this option allows the user to start a Super Chlorinate
cycle when the Aux button is pressed, rather than using the Settings Menu. Note that only one
button can be assigned to this function.
Aux1 Relay
This feature allows the user to select either “Standard” (default) or “Dimmer” type relay for the Aux1
output. The optional AQL-DIM dimmer kit must be installed if “Dimmer” is desired. When “Dimmer”
is selected, and the Aux1 output is manually turned on, the “+” and “-” buttons adjust the level from
20% to 100% (default). The level is saved for the next time the aux1 output is turned from off to on.
