Note that all functions in the table may not be offered. The available functions are dependent on how the Aqua Plus
16v is configured. For example, if the Aqua Plus 16v is configured for a single heater, “Heater2” will not be
available as an option in the Group menu. Also, under some circumstances, functions will be displayed but can’t be
changed. Note that the function whose menu you are in, will not be displayed as an option and will automatically
turn on when the group is activated. For example, if programming a Group function under the Lights menu, the
Lights function will not be offered as an option and the Lights function will automatically turn on with the group.
The available control parameters vary with each function. All functions offer “Unaffected”, which should be
selected if you do not wish to control that particular function within the group. All other parameters will depend on
the particular function selected.
When activating Group functions, be aware that the most recent Group function that you activate will override any
previous Group functions.
Heater Setpoints in Groups
The Aqua Plus 16v can be programmed to use alternate heater setpoints (conventional and/or solar) while running
group commands. This allows the heater to be set to a higher or lower temperature than normal, while the group is
activated. When the group stops, the setpoint will return to its normal setting.
Changing the setpoint while the Group is running will make the Group release the alternate setpoint control and
revert back to the normal heater setting. Any changes that are made at that point will affect the normal heater
setting. The next time the Group is activated, the temperature will return to the group setpoint that was originally
programmed in the Configuration Menu. To change the setpoint while the Group is running, go to the Settings menu
and press the +/- button while “Group Control” is displayed. The setpoint will change and be retained as the new
normal heater setpoint.
Super Chlorinate
The Aqua Plus 16v can be programmed to Super Chlorinate the pool or spa while running a group command.
When the Group starts, the Super Chlorinate cycle will begin. Super Chlorinate will continue until the preset time
expires (see Timers Menu/Super Chlorinate Hours) or until the Group turns off. Changing the Super Chlorinate
state using the Settings Menu, the Aqua Pod Super Chlorinate button, or a Super Chlorinate assigned Aux/Lights/
Valve button will temporarily cancel the Group’s control of Super Chlorinate until the next time the Group is
activated.
Variable Speed in Groups
The Aqua Plus 16v can be programmed to use alternate pump speeds while running group commands. This allows
the pump(s) to be set to a higher or lower speed than normal, while the group is activated. When the group stops,
the speed will return to its normal setting.
Changing the speed setting while the group is running will make the group release the alternate speed setting and
revert back to the normal speed setting. Any changes that are made at that point will affect the normal speed
setting. The next time the group is activated, the speed will return to the group speed setting that was originally
programmed in the Configuration Menu. To change the speed setting while the group is running, go to the Settings
menu and press the +/- button while “Group Control” is displayed. The speed setting will change to the normal
speed setting.
