Hayward Aqua Plus PL-PLUS Installation Manual Download Page 25

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 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.

Filter Pump

For 2-speed pumps:  When a 2-speed pump is configured, one of  the AUX relays must also be configured
to control the low speed motor winding on the pump.  Refer to the appropriate sections in the Installation
manual for specific information regarding the control logic for 2-speed and variable speed pump operation.

For the Hayward variable speed pump:  The Filter relay is used to supply input power to the pump.  The
relay will be on when the filter pump output is on.  When the filter pump output is off, the relay will be off.
On , off and speed is controlled by commands sent to the pump.

Lowest Speed

This is the lowest speed that the variable speed pump is allowed to run at. It is used as the lower limit in the
Low Speed Settings Menu. Set lowest speed from 10% (default) to 50%.

Highest Speed

This is the highest speed that the variable speed pump is allowed to run at. It is used as the upper limit in
the High Speed Settings Menu.  Also, this is the speed that the pump will run at during the first 3 minutes
of operation anytime the pump has been off for more than 30 seconds. Set highest speed from 20% to 100%
(default).

Freeze Protection

Freeze protection is used to protect the pool and plumbed equipment against freeze damage.  If freeze
protection is enabled and the AIR temperature sensor falls below the freeze threshold (see below), the
Aqua Plus will turn on the filter pump to circulate the water. If “Pool and Spa” is selected in the Pool/Spa
sub-menu, the valves will also alternate between the pool and spa every 30 minutes and the filter pump will
turn off while the valves are turning.  The chlorinator will not operate if freeze protection is the only reason
the pump is running.

Freeze Protection Speed

This menu only appears if freeze protection is enabled and the pump is configured for 2-speed or variable
speed pump operation. If the pump turns on due to freeze protection only, the pump will run at this speed.

2-Speed pumps: Select high (default) or low speed operation.

Variable Speed pumps: Select the desired speed (from Filter Lowest to Filter Highest speed).
