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 Tristar variable speed pump: The Filter relay is used to supply input power to the
VSC pump control. 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. This is the speed that the pump will run at during freeze protection
operation. Select high (default) or low speed operation.
Freeze Protection Temperature
Select the temperature to be used for freeze protection. Temperature is adjustable from 33ºF - 42ºF
(1ºC - 6ºC). 38ºF (3ºC) is default. This threshold will be used for all outputs that have freeze protection
enabled.
External Input Interlock
When enabled, the filter pump will be forced off when the external input is active. Note that freeze
protection will have precedence over this feature.

Aux1 Interlock
If “Enabled”, this feature will override the function (Manual On/Off, Countdown Timer, Timeclock),
selected above and turn the aux1 off when: filter pump is off, first 3 minutes of filter pump operation
(allows the pump to prime and get water flowing), when the pool/spa suction return valves are in any
position other than “pool only”, or for the first 3 minutes after solar turns on (allows air in the solar
panels to be purged). Interlock is not available for solar, low speed filter pump, super chlorinate or
dimmer.
Aux1 External Input Interlock
When enabled, Aux1 will be forced off when the external input is active. Note that freeze protection
does NOT have precedence over this feature.
Aux1 Freeze Protection
This function protects the pool, plumbing, and equipment against freeze damage. If Freeze Protection
is enabled and the AIR temperature sensor falls below the selected freeze temperature threshold, the
Aqua Plus will turn on the aux relay to circulate the water. IMPORTANT: this only enables operation
of the AUX output during freeze--see the “Filter Pump Config.” menu to enable freeze protection for
the main circulation system.

Valve3 Function
Timeclock (default)
– the valve turns on/off at the times set for the valve3 timeclock in the Timers
Menu (see Operations Manual). The VALVE3 button can also be used to turn the valve output on or
off.
Solar
– the valve operates when the filter pump is running and solar heat is available and the water is
less than the desired temperature setting. Solar heating must be enabled in the “Solar Config. menu
for proper operation to occur.
In-Floor Cleaner
– the valve switches the water returning to the pool between the in-floor cleaner and
the normal return jets which facilitate efficient surface skimming. The valve will operate the in-floor
cleaner for the first half of each clock hour and then switch to the jets/skimming for the last half of the
hour.
Super Chlorinate
– if “Chlorinator” is enabled, this option allows the user to start a Super Chlorinate
cycle when the Valve3 button is pressed, rather than using the Settings Menu. Note that only one
button can be assigned to this function.
Valve3 Interlock
If “Enabled”, this feature will override the function (timeclock or in-floor cleaner) selected above and
turn the valve off when: the filter pump is off, first 3 minutes of filter pump operation (allows the pump
to prime and get water flowing), or for the first 3 minutes after solar turns on (allows air in the solar
panels to be purged). Interlock is not available for solar or super chlorinate.
Valve3 External Input Interlock
When Valve3 External Input Interlock is enabled, the Valve3 output will be forced off when the external
input is active. This will have precedence over freeze protection. Valve3 External Input Interlock is not
available for solar and super chlorinate.
