This menu will only appear if a wireless base station is connected to the Aqua Plus. Perform this
procedure each time a wireless remote control is added to the Aqua Plus system. During this proce-
dure the wireless remote “learns” and remembers the ID code for the wireless base station connected
to this particular Aqua Plus unit and will reject messages with any other ID codes. If “Base NOT
found” is displayed, then the Aqua Plus can not communicate with the transmitter/receiver base
station attached to the main unit. If “NOT Successful” is displayed, then the base station did not
receive a signal from the remote control. This may be due to the distance between the Base Receiver
and the remote device being too great or may be due to interference caused by other RF equipment
operating in the neighborhood. Try changing the channel and then repeat the “Teach Wireless”
command.

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.

Chlorinator Operation / Water Chemistry
General Water Chemistry
Salt is required when using the chlorinator feature on the Aqua Plus Control. Refer to the description of the Aqua
Plus configuration menu for information on enabling/disabling the chlorinator (see page 13).
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 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.
The pool’s chemistry must be balanced BEFORE activating the Aqua Plus’s chlorinator function. NOTE: If the
pool does not have new water, add metal remover and non-copper based algaecide to the pool, per manufacturer’s
instructions. This ensures a quick, troublefree transfer to the Aqua Plus system.

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
