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.

Aux1 Interlock

If “Enabled”, this feature will override the function (Manual On/Off, Countdown Timer, Timeclock), selected
above and turn the aux1 off when:  filter pump is off, first 3 minutes of filter pump operation (allows the
pump to prime and get water flowing), when the pool/spa suction return valves are in any position other
than “pool only”, or for the first 3 minutes after solar turns on (allows air in the solar panels to be purged).
Interlock is not available for solar, low speed filter pump, super chlorinate or dimmer.

Aux1 External Input Interlock

When enabled, Aux1 will be forced off when the external input is active.  Note that freeze protection does
NOT have precedence over this feature.

Aux1 Freeze Protection

This function protects the pool, plumbing, and equipment against freeze damage.  If Freeze Protection is
enabled and the AIR temperature sensor falls below the selected freeze temperature threshold, the Pro
Logic will turn on the aux relay to circulate the water.  IMPORTANT:  this only enables operation of the
AUX output during freeze--see the “Filter Pump Config.” menu to enable freeze protection for the main
circulation system.

Valve3 Function

Timeclock (default)

 – the valve turns on/off at the times set for the valve3 timeclock in the Timers Menu

(see Operations Manual).  The VALVE3 button can also be used to turn the valve output on or off.

Solar 

 – the valve operates when the filter pump is running and solar heat is available and the water is less

than the desired temperature setting.  Solar heating must be enabled in the “Solar Config. menu for proper
operation to occur.

In-Floor Cleaner

 – the valve switches the water returning to the pool between the in-floor cleaner and the

normal return jets which facilitate efficient surface skimming.  The valve will operate the in-floor cleaner for
the first half of each clock hour and then switch to the jets/skimming for the last half of the hour.

Super Chlorinate 

– if “Chlorinator” is enabled, this option allows the user to start a Super Chlorinate cycle

when the Valve3 button is pressed, rather than using the Settings Menu.  Note that only one button can be
assigned to this function.

Pool Sizing Formula

Type of Salt to Use

It is important to use only sodium chloride (NaCl) salt that is greater than 99.0% pure.  This can be found at most pool

stores in 40-80 lb. bags labeled “for use in swimming pools”.  Alternatively, use common food quality or water softener

salt that is at least 99.0% pure.  It is also acceptable to use water conditioning salt pellets, however, it will take longer

for them to dissolve.  Do not use rock salt, or salt with more than 1% of yellow prussiate of soda, salt with anti-caking

additives, or iodized salt.

How to Add 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

vacuum 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.

Always check stabilizer (cyanuric acid), when checking salt.  These levels will most likely decline together.  Use the

chart below to determine how much stabilizer must be added to raise the level to 80 ppm.
