is changed and confirmed, all wireless remote will have to be re-taught. This menu will only appear if
a wireless base station is connected to the Aqua Plus 16v.
Timers Menu
The Timers Menu allows you to set all timeclock and countdown timers which control the automatic operation of
your pool/spa system.
Each timeclock has a single on/off program per day. All of the timeclocks are setup (Configuration Menu) either as
“all days” or “weekends/weekdays”. If “weekends/weekdays” are selected, you will need to program on times for
both weekdays and weekends and off times for both weekdays and weekends, even if you want them to be the
same. All times are adjusted in 15 minute increments (9:00A, 9:15A, 9:30A, etc.). If you program the on time
equal to the off time (“10:00A to 10:00A”) the output will NEVER turn on. If you want to disable a timeclock, you
can set the on time equal to the off time and you will notice the times disappear and the display simply shows “Off”.
If, at a later time, you wish to re-activate the timeclock, simply press either the “+” or “-“ buttons to go back to a
normal timeclock programming display.
The Countdown timer is programmed in increments of 5 minutes from “Manual On/Off” (0 minutes) to a maximum
of “21:00” (21 hours). When “Manual On/Off” is displayed, the countdown timer is disabled and the output will be
manually controlled. When a countdown timer is equal or greater than “0:05”, pressing the appropriate output
button will turn the output on and start the timer. Pressing the button again will turn the output off or, when the
programmed time has elapsed, the output will automatically turn off.
!
Important:
All of the displays shown below use the default generic names for each function or
output. The Aqua Plus 16v allows more descriptive names to be assigned to each piece of equipment
(refer to the section regarding the Configuration Menu for more information).
For one speed pumps, this is the first filter timeclock and will determine the normal hours of filtration
for the pool. For pool/spa combination systems with spillover enabled and filter operation set to
“spillover”, the valves will automatically switch to spillover mode at the start of the filtration period.
For pool/spa combination systems with spillover enabled and filter operation set to “pool only”, the
valves will switch to the pool-only position. Refer to page 12 for general notes regarding timeclock
programming.
For two speed or variable speed pumps, this setting will be the period of time when the pump runs at
high speed (the word “Filter T1” in the display will be replaced with “Filter Hi”). There is a separate
timeclock for the low speed operation (see below). If the high speed and low speed periods overlap,
then the pump will operate in low speed during the overlap period.
There are several reasons the filter pump may be running at times other than the timeclock period set
above. These include super-chlorination, spa operation, manual operation, heater cooldown, freeze
protection, heater-extend and solar-extend.
Chlorinator Operation / Water Chemistry
General Water Chemistry
Salt is required only if you are using the chlorinator features on the Aqua Plus 16v Control. If you are NOT using
the chlorinator, it is recommended that you follow all of the other chemistry recommendations besides salt. Refer to
the description of the Aqua Plus 16v configuration menu for information on enabling/disabling the chlorinator (see
page 17).
Water Chemistry
The table below summarizes the levels that are recommended by the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals
(APSP). The only special requirements for the Aqua Plus 16v are the salt level and stabilizer.
Saturation index
The saturation index (Si) relates to the calcium and alkalinity in the water and is an indicator of the pool water
“balance”. Your water is properly balanced if the Si is 0 ±0.2. If the Si is below -0.2, the water is corrosive and
plaster pool walls will be dissolved into the water. If the Si is above +0.2, scaling and staining will occur. Use the
chart below to determine the saturation index.

How to use:
Measure pool pH, temperature, calcium hardness,
and total alkalinity. Use the chart above to determine Ti, Ci,and
Ai from your measurements. Insert values of pH, Ti, Ci and Ai
into the above equation. If Si equals .2 or more, scaling and
staining may occur. If Si equals -.2 or less corrosion or irritation
may occur.
Si = pH + Ti + Ci + Ai - 12.1
