4. The Aqua Plus 16v can be programmed to accommodate spillover if desired.  Note that spillover operation

will be automatically suspended whenever the spa filter pump is turned on.

5. The chlorinator cell and flow switch must be installed in the heater return path.  If spillover is enabled, then

the Aqua Plus 16v can chlorinate both the pool and spa (during spillover operation).  Otherwise, the Aqua
Plus 16v will only chlorinate the pool when the spa does not control the heater(s) and the spa sanitization
will have to be handled manually.

6. If any water feature or pressure side cleaner boost pumps are used, be sure to enable the “interlock”

feature (see “Configuration Menu” for details) to ensure that the pumps operate only when the “Pool
Filter” pump is on and the system is in the “pool only” operating mode.

7. The plumbing diagram on page 10 is intended to be used as a general guideline and is not a complete

plumbing schematic for the pool.

8. When using the wireless spa-side remote control (AQL2-SS-RF), the “POOL” button will position the

valves for Pool mode and the “SPA” button will position the valves for Spillover mode.

Turbo Cell

The Turbo Cell (used for chlorine generation) should be plumbed AFTER the filter and heater.  If installed on a

pool/spa combination system, the cell should be plumbed BEFORE the pool/spa return valve in order to allow

proper chlorination of both the pool and the spa.  Refer to plumbing diagram below:

The cell may be mounted vertically or horizontally, and water can move in either direction through the cell.  Install

using the 2" unions provided.  Tighten unions 

BY HAND

 for a watertight seal.  For systems with 1½“ plumbing use

adaptors (provided by installer).

Flow Switch

The flow switch must be plumbed in the same section of plumbing as the Turbo Cell. The flow switch is a safety

device that ensures that water is flowing through the cell before the Aqua Plus 16v starts to generate chlorine.

Failure to properly install the flow switch can result in explosive gases accumulating in the pool plumbing system.

!

  IMPORTANT: There must be at least a 12" (30cm) straight pipe run before (upstream) the flow

switch.  If the switch is plumbed after the cell, the cell can by counted as the 12" (30cm) of straight pipe.

!

  IMPORTANT:  To ensure proper operation, verify that the arrow on the flow switch points in the

direction of water flow

Lights Name

The Pro Logic allows you to assign any one of a number of names (e.g. “Pool Light, Spa Light, Deck
Light, etc.) to this control function.  Note that other lights may be assigned to other  Aux outputs.  This
will make the Pro Logic much more user friendly to the homeowner when they want to turn various
lights on or off.   A sheet of small name labels is included with the Pro Logic main unit and each remote
display/keypad so that the “Lights” pushbutton can be labeled the same as the name that you have
assigned.  At this time it is also a good idea to make sure that the relay in the control box is also labeled
(hand written) with the same name as a help to technicians who may service this system at a later date.

Lights Function

Although designated as the “Lights” output, the function of the lights relay is similar to the Aux
relays.  If pool lights are wired to the lights relay, some options including Solar function, Low Speed
of a 2-Speed Filter Pump, Lights Interlock and Lights Freeze Protection are not applicable and should
be disabled.  If no pool lights are used, the lights relay can be used to control other pool devices that
may require these options.  The function of each option is shown below.

Manual On/Off

—the lights relay will alternate between turning on and off when the LIGHTS button is

pressed.  There is no automatic control logic.

Countdown Timer

—the lights relay will turn on when the LIGHTS button is pressed.  The lights relay

will turn off automatically after a programmed time (see Timers Menu in Operation Manual).  The
LIGHTS button can also be used to turn the output off.

Low Speed of a 2-speed Filter Pump

 – the Pro Logic will turn on the lights 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 lights relay will turn-on and turn-off at the times set for the lights timeclock in the

Settings Menu (see Settings Menu in Operation Manual).  The LIGHTS button can also be used to
turn the output on and off.

Solar

 – the lights relay can operate 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.  Note
that “Solar” must be enabled in the “Solar Config.” menu for proper operation to occur.

Low Speed of a 2-Speed Spa Filter Pump

 – the Pro Logic will turn on the lights relay whenever the low

speed operation of the Dual Equipment Spa filter pump is required.  “Pool and Spa-Dual” (located in
Pool/Spa Setup menu) and “2-Speed” (located in Spa Filter Config. menu) must be selected for proper
operation.

Group 

 – the lights relay operates when the Group function is initiated and shuts off when the Group

function is terminated.  See Lights Group section for operation information for the Group function.

Super Chlorinate 

 – The Super Chlorinate function can be assigned to any Aux, Lights or Valve

button.  This allows the user to simply hit a button to start a Super Chlorinate cycle, rather than using
the Settings Menu.  Note that only one button can me assigned to this function.

pH Dispense 

 –When Chemistry Sensing is enabled and pH Reduction Control is NOT disabled, the

Pro Logic will turn on the Lights relay when there is a need to energize the pH dispensing device. The
pH Dispense function can be assigned to any Aux or the Lights output. Once programmed for pH
Dispense, the Lights button will have no function.  Requires the use of the AQL-CHEM sensing kit.

Lights Relay

This feature allows the user to select either “Standard” (default), “Dimmer” or “VSP” type relay for the
Lights output.  The optional AQL-DIM dimmer kit must be installed if “Dimmer” is desired.  When
“Dimmer” is selected, and the Lights 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 lights are turned from off to
on.

If “VSP” is selected, the Lights relay is used to supply power to a Hayward Variable Speed Pump
(VSP).  The relay will be on when the Lights output is on and off when the output is off.  On, off and
