Timer

The pool filter pump should run long enough to circulate the entire volume of pool water each day.  

This will vary depending on pump size, pool plumbing and pool size.  Consult a local pool store to help 

determine the appropriate run time for your pool.  

Set the Aqua Trol’s timer by rotating the clock hands in a clockwise direction.  The arrow (positioned 

approximately 2 o’clock on dial) points to the current time.  The internal “hands” show time at a 

glance.  On the outside of the timer, there are a series of small slide trippers.  Each tripper controls a 

15 minute interval.  Set the trippers for the desired run time.

 

OFF

 - Push trippers IN (toward center)

 

ON

  - Pull trippers OUT (away from center)

Manual Control

There is a switch on the timer (located at approximately the 4 o’clock position) that allows the pump 

to be manually turned on or off.

 

“1” 

(up)      - pump ON

 

“  “ 

(center) - timer controls pump

 

“0” 

(down) - pump OFF

Main Switch

AUTO:  For normal operation, the Main Switch should be left in the AUTO position.  In this position the 

Aqua Trol

®

 will produce chlorine according to the “Desired Level %” adjustment setting for the entire 

filtering/pumping cycle.

SUPER CHLORINATE:  When you have an abnormally high bather load, a large amount of rain, a cloudy 

water condition, or any other condition which needs a large amount of purification to be introduced, 

put the Main Switch in the SUPER CHLORINATE position.  This electronically “super chlorinates” 

(shocks) the water for 24 hours (filter pump must be on during this time) or until the power has been 

turned off, whichever comes first.  At the end of the super chlorinate time, be sure to put the switch 

back into the AUTO position.  

OFF:  The OFF position prevents the Aqua Trol from energizing the electrolytic cell.  In this position 

there is no chlorine generation.  NOTE:  To service any of the pool equipment or the Aqua Trol, turn the 

power off at the circuit breaker.

“Desired Level %” adjustment knob

This setting is used to control the amount of chlorine the Aqua Trol generates.  Raise this setting to 

increase chlorine level and lower it to decrease chlorine level.

Indicator LED’s

POWER  When illuminated, the Aqua Trol has input power.  

GENERATING  This LED is on steady during normal operation.  When flashing, the pool water is too 

hot or cold to operate.    

SUPER CHLORINATE  Illuminates during Super Chlorination.  See description above.
