NOTE: Before installing this product as part of a saline water purification system in a pool or spa using natural
stone for coping or for immediately adjacent patios/decking, a qualified stone installation specialist should be
consulted regarding the appropriate type, installation, sealant (if any) and maintenance of stone used around a
saline pool with electronic chlorine generator in your particular location and circumstances.
NOTE: The use of dry acid (sodium bisulfate) to adjust pool pH is discouraged especially in arid regions where
pool water is subject to excessive evaporation and is not commonly diluted with fresh water. Dry acid can cause a
buildup of by-products that can damage your chlorinator cell.

3. Once the heater is running, you can verify the “heater cooldown” feature (optional - see Configuration Menu/
Heater Config.) is operating properly:
•
Press the “Filter” button once (for 2 speed pumps, this may require 2 pushes of the “Filter” button).
•
The heater should turn off (“Heater” LED off) and the “Filter” LED will flash to indicated heater cooldown
is active.
•
The display will periodically indicate that the filter pump is on for heater cooldown and show the minutes
remaining.
•
The pump will automatically turn off at the end of the 5 minute heater cooldown period.
For more detailed instructions on control and operation of the Aqua Plus 16v system, refer to the Operation
Manual.
Service Mode
Service mode disables all automatic control operation and is intended to be used when servicing the pool system.
To enter service mode, push the SERVICE button once on the main unit keypad. This will initially turn all outputs
off and then allow you to turn outputs on/off manually at the main display (only). In service mode, the buttons on
the optional remote display/keypad and the optional spa side remote will turn outputs off, but will not turn any
output on. Heater control outputs and solar control outputs are prevented from turning on if the water temperature
exceeds 104ºF (40ºC).
Pushing the SERVICE button again will enter a timed service mode. Service operation as described above will
continue for 3 hours, then automatically return to normal operation.
Push the SERVICE button once more to exit out of Service mode.
