Configuration

When all input and pool related wiring is comple

te, replace and secure the front panel. The AquaRite 

S3 can now be powered on for the first time. Apply power and wait for the AquaRite S3 to completely 

start. Because this is the first time that the AquaRite S3 has been powered on, it will bring you directly 

to the initial configuration screen. 

The AquaRite S3 uses a Configuration Wizard to assist in the con-

figuration of the AquaRite S3. These screens will prompt you for specific information about your pool 

to help set up the operation of the AquaRite S3. Configuring the AquaRite S3 requires knowledge of 

all of the connected pool equipment (pool filter pump, heater, etc.). 

Navigation and Configuration Wizard

Note that the AquaRite S3 uses 6 pushbuttons to navigate the menu and set values.  The functions 

of these buttons are shown below.
