This menu is only available if the system has been setup for Dual Equipment. For one speed pumps,
this is the first spa filter timeclock and will determine the normal hours of filtration for the spa. For
pool/spa combination systems with spillover enabled, the valves will automatically switch to pool
only at the start of the filtration period.
For two speed or variable speed pumps, this setting will be the period of time when the spa pump runs
at high speed (the word “Spa Filter T1” in the display will be replaced with “Spa 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 spa filter pump may be running at times other than the timeclock period
set above. These include spa operation, manual operation, heater cooldown and freeze protection.
For one speed spa pumps, this is the second filter timeclock
For two speed or variable speed pumps, this timeclock will set the normal time period for
spa filter
pump low speed operation
(the word “Spa Filter T2” in the display will be replaced with “Spa Filter
Lo”). If the filter pump is off for more than 30 seconds, the pump will first turn on at high speed for 3
minutes to prime and establish water flow. Afterwards, it will drop down to low speed for the remainder
of the programmed low speed time period. While this time clock will override the high speed timeclock
(see above), there are several reasons why the pump will automatically switch to high speed operation
during this programmed time period. These include manual operation, spa operation, or heating
operation.
Aux1 - Aux6 configurations are identical.
This menu will appear only if the Aux1 is configured for timeclock. The Aux1 output will turn on and
off at the designated times. If the Aux1 relay is off during the programmed on time— note that some
pool equipment (example pressure side pool cleaner) can only be operated when the filter pump is
running and the pool/spa valves are in the pool-only position—the Aqua Plus 16v will keep the relay
off until these other conditions are suitable for operation. If the Aux1 relay is on during the programmed
off time, it may be because of freeze protection. Also, manual operation overrides the timeclock. Refer
to page 12 for general notes regarding timeclock programming.
This menu will appear only if the Aux1 is configured for countdown timer. This setting is the time after
you manually turn on the Aux1 relay until the Aqua Plus 16v automatically turns off the relay. You can
also manually turn off the relay at an earlier time by pressing the AUX1 button.

Quick “How To” Guide
Operate the Spa—Manually
1. Press the “Pool/Spa” button to go to “spa-only” operation (“SPA” LED illuminated). In some cases,
this may take more than one press of the button.
2. If the filter pump is not already on, press the “FILTER” button to turn it on.
3. If the spa is below the desired temperature, the heater will turn on automatically when the filter pump
is on and the valves are in the spa-only position. If you have not already set the desired temperature
for the spa, see “Set Heater Temperature” below
4. If the spa has a separate jet pump and or blower, determine if the jet pump/blower is controlled by
any Aux or the Lights relay (it should be marked on the label inside the door). Then press the appro-
priate button to turn on the jets/blower.
Operate the Spa—Automatically
1. Press the “MENU” button repeatedly until “Timers Menu” is displayed
2. Press the “>” button repeatedly until the “Spa—all days” or “Spa—weekends” is displayed.
3. Use the “+” and “-“ buttons to set the desired start time, then press “>” to switch to the off time. Use
the “+” and “-“ buttons to adjust the off time. If you are setting the “weekend” timeclock, press “>” to
go to the “weekday” settings.
Note: During the programmed spa time, the valves will automatically switch to the “spa-only”
position, the filter pump will turn on, and, if the spa is not up to the desired temperature, the
heater will start. This operation is the highest priority and will take precedence over other
automatically programmed operations. At the end of the spa period, the Aqua Plus 16v will
return to its normally programmed operation state
.
Set the Heater Temperature (or turn heater permanently off)
1. Press the “MENU” button repeatedly until “Settings Menu” is displayed
2. Press the “>” button repeatedly until the “Spa Heater” or “Pool Heater” is displayed.
3. Press the “+” or “-“ buttons repeatedly to adjust the temperature. If you adjust the temperature below
65ºF or above 104°F the display will indicate “off” and the heater will not operate regardless of
temperature.
Note: Separate temperatures for the pool and spa must be set. If the valves are in the pool-only
or spa spillover positions, then the heater will use the pool setting. If the valves are in the spa-
only position then the heater will operate according to the spa setting.
Set the Chlorinator Output
1. Press the “MENU” button repeatedly until “Settings Menu” is displayed.
2. Press the “>” button repeatedly until the “Spa Chlorinator” or “Pool Chlorinator” is displayed.
3. Press the “+” or “-“ buttons repeatedly to adjust the setting. If you adjust the setting to 0% the
chlorinator will be off all the time.
NOTE: After the ideal "Desired Output %" setting has been found, you may need to raise the
setting when the pool water temperature increases significantly, when there is higher than
normal bather load or when your chlorinator cell ages. You may need to lower the setting when
the pool water temperature decreases significantly or there are long periods of inactivity.
