Two Speed Filter Pump:
If the pump is currently off, simply press the “FILTER” button to turn on high speed
operation of the filter pump. The “Filter” LED will illuminate continuously. Pressing the “FILTER” button again will
switch to low speed operation and the “FILTER” LED will flash. Note that if the pump has been off for more than
30 seconds, it will run at high speed for 3 minutes regardless of selection. This high speed operation helps allow the
pump to prime and establish normal water flow.
Variable Speed Filter Pump:
If the pump is currently off, press the “FILTER” button to turn the filter pump on to
the last speed (1, 2, 3, or 4) that was used. A temporary display is generated indicating the current speed selection
(Filter On:Spd 1). Pushing the “+” or “-” button changes the speed selection. If the pump has been off for more
than 30 seconds, it will run at the highest speed for 3 minutes regardless of selection. This high speed operation
helps allow the pump to prime and establish normal water flow.
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 preset freeze protection temperature (see
Filter Configuration), the Aqua Plus 16v will turn on the filter pump to circulate the water.
Spa Filter Pump (when using Dual Equipment)
Single Speed Filter Pump:
If the pump is currently off, press the “AUX1” button to turn on the pump. Pressing
the “AUX1” button again will turn off the pump. However, if there is a heater in the system, and it is operating, and
the “Heater Cooldown” feature is enabled (Configuration Menu) then: when you press the “AUX1” button to turn
off the filter, only the heater will turn off, the Filter LED will flash and the display will indicate “Heater Cooldown”.
At this point the filter pump will automatically turn off after 5 minutes of heater cooldown operation. If you want to
override the heater cooldown, simply press the “AUX1” button again to turn off the filter pump.
Two Speed Spa Filter Pump:
If the pump is currently off, simply press the “AUX1” button to turn on high speed
operation of the filter pump. The “AUX1” LED will illuminate continuously. Pressing the “AUX1” button again will
switch to low speed operation and the “AUX1” LED will flash. Note that if the pump has been off for more than
30 seconds, it will run at high speed for 3 minutes regardless of selection. This high speed operation helps allow the
pump to prime and establish normal water flow.
Variable Speed Filter Pump:
If the pump is currently off, press the “AUX1” button to turn the filter pump on to
the last speed (1 or 2) that was used. A temporary display is generated indicating the current speed selection (Filter
On:Spd 1). Pushing the “+” or “-” button changes the speed selection. If the pump has been off for more than 30
seconds, it will run at the highest speed for 3 minutes regardless of selection. This high speed operation helps allow
the pump to prime and establish normal water flow.
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 preset freeze protection temperature, the
Aqua Plus 16v will turn on the spa filter pump to circulate the water.
Lights and Aux Outputs
Standard Relay:
Manual operation of all relays (LIGHTS, AUX1 - AUX6) is identical. Assuming that the relay
is currently off, simply press the appropriate button to turn on the relay. If the relay does not turn on, it probably is
due to the “interlock” feature (which was set up in the Configuration Menu) being activated that requires the filter
pump to be running and the valves to be in the pool-only position. This protects pumps and other equipment from
possible damage. If the controlled output is on, pressing the appropriate button again will turn off the relay.
Manual turn off is disabled if the “Freeze Protection” feature is enabled and the air temperature is less than the
selected freeze temperature threshold.
Dimmer Relay
: If Lights or an Aux output is configured as a dimmer, pressing the corresponding button will
generate a temporary display which shows the dimmer output level (Off - On 100%). Pushing the “+” or “-”
button changes the level in increments of 20%. When the desired output level is displayed, press the correspond-
ing button again to turn off the display and return to normal operation. When the Lights or Aux output comes on
again (either manually or automatically), the dimmer output level will be the same as the last time that it was set.
ColorLogic Relay
: This selection will only appear if an optional ColorLogic Network Module (AQL-COLOR-
MODHV) is detected at startup. The Network Module allows the Aqua Plus 16v to control custom colors and
light shows in Hayward Generation 4 or later ColorLogic pool and spa lights. Refer to the AQL-COLOR-
MODHV manual for details on how to configure an Aux output for use with these lights. If a ColorLogic Module
is detected at power up, the Lights relay is under automatic control and is used to power the ColorLogic lights.

Instant Salt
3200 PPM (+=save)
Move to previous/next menu item
Press to load the “Instant Salt” into the averaged salt display
This display will be shown only if the chlorinator is enabled.
This display shows “Instant Salt” or
“Instant Minerals” (if Chlor. Config. is set for “Display Minerals”). The “Instant Salt” is calculated
based on the voltage, current (amps), and water temperature at the cell. This is different than the
“average salt” value which is displayed as part of the default menu. There are a number of reasons
why instant and average salt readings may differ. Some of these include salt having just been added
to the pool and not yet thoroughly mixed, calcium buildup on the cell, and the cell aging.
pH 7.5 (On)
ORP 700 mV (On)
No function
Move to previous/next menu item
if AQL-CHEM is used
This display will be shown only if sensing is enabled.
This display shows both pH and ORP levels/
status when chemistry sensing is enabled via the Chemistry Configuration Wizard (requires the use of
AQL-CHEM Sensing Kit). The Aqua Plus 16v will refer to these levels to determine how much
chlorine to generate (ORP) and, if using an AQL-CHEM2 dispense kit, how much CO
2
or acid to
dispense (pH). Refer to the AQL-CHEM manual for specific information about these levels as well as
the recommended ranges.
Flow Switch
Flow
No function
Move to previous/next menu item
This display will be shown only if the chlorinator is enabled.
The current status of the flow switch is
displayed. There is a short delay when transitioning from flow to no-flow and a longer delay on the
transition from no-flow to flow. The delay time is displayed.
