4. Electrical Wiring
The Aqua Plus 16v Control Center. Low voltage connections will be made to actuators, sensors, remote keypad,
etc. High voltage connections will be made to pumps, lights, etc., as well as providing direct input power to the
Control Center. Always:
-Ensure that Power is disconnected prior to doing any wiring
-Follow all local and NEC (CEC if applicable) codes
-Use copper conductors only
Main Service (Power to the Circuit Breaker Subpanel)
The Aqua Plus 16v circuit breaker subpanel is rated for 100A service. Run properly rated conductors (L1, L2, N,
and ground) from the primary house electrical panel to the main power connections on the Aqua Plus 16v circuit
breaker base. The connection at the main house panel should be to a 240VAC circuit breaker rated at 100A
maximum.
Grounding and Bonding
Connect a ground wire from the primary electrical panel to the Aqua Plus 16v ground bus bar. Also ground each
piece of high voltage (120 or 240VAC) equipment that is connected to the Aqua Plus 16v control relays or circuit
breakers. The Aqua Plus 16v should also be connected to the pool bonding system by an 8AWG (6AWG for
Canada) wire. A lug for bonding (2 for Canada) is provided on the outside/bottom of the Aqua Plus 16v enclo-
sure.
Circuit Breaker Installation and Wiring
Circuit breakers are to be supplied by the installer. See the chart below for a list of suitable circuit breakers that
can be used. Follow the code and the circuit breaker manufacturer’s rating requirements regarding the size and
temperature rating for wiring. Note that some pool equipment may be required to be connected to ground fault
circuit breakers—check local and NEC (CEC) codes.
General Purpose Outlet
If desired, a duplex receptacle with weatherproof cover (supplied by installer) may be installed in the knockouts on
the lower right side of the Aqua Plus 16v enclosure. Per code, the receptacle should be a GFCI type. Alterna-
tively, connect a standard receptacle to a GFCB.

Allow Low Speed
This menu only appears if the pool filter is configured for 2-speed operation. During default operation,
high speed mode is used whenever the solar heater is on. If Allow Low Speed is enabled, low speed
pump operation will be allowed during solar heating except for the first 3 minutes after solar heat turns
on.
