Flow Switch
The 15 ft flow switch cable plugs into the flow switch connector shown on page 14. Ensure that the
connector catch “snaps” into place in order to provide a reliable connection.
TurboCell
Only applicable if the chlorinator function is enabled. The TurboCell should be plugged in AFTER the
OmniPL cover panel is installed. Refer to page 14 for the location of the chlorinator cell connector.
HLRELAY
The HLRELAY is a single high voltage relay designed to be mounted in the #9 and/or #10 positions
near the four on-board relays (see page 14). After installing the HLRELAY, a wire connection must be
made at the OmniPL Main Board. At startup, the OmniPL will detect the HLRELAY and allow the user
to configure the additional relay(s) in the CONFIGURATION WIZARD. Refer to the HLRELAY manual for
installation and wiring instructions.
Preparing Pool/Spa Water
Salt Chlorination
When used with an optional Hayward TurboCell and P-KIT, the OmniPL can generate all the chlorine
needs for pools up to 40,000 gallons (150,000 liters), or the needs of most commercial pools up to
25,000 gallons (95,000 liters). If enabled (see Configuration Wizard), this operation requires a low
concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the pool/spa water. The OmniPL automatically converts
salt into free chlorine which kills bacteria and algae in the pool/spa. Chlorine will revert back to
sodium chloride after killing bacteria. These reactions will continuously recycle, virtually eliminating
the need to add sanitizing chemicals to your pool/spa. The only time you may need to add more
salt to the pool/spa is when water is replenished due to backwashing, draining, or splashing (not
evaporation). The actual amount of chlorination required to properly sanitize a pool varies due to
bather load, rainfall, temperature, and the pool’s cleanliness.
General Water Chemistry
Salt is required only if you are using the chlori-
nator features on the OmniPL Control Center. If
you are NOT using the chlorinator, it is recom-
mended that you follow all of the other chemis-
try recommendations besides salt.
Water Chemistry
This table summarizes the levels that are rec-
ommended by the Association of Pool and Spa
Professionals (APSP). The only special require-
ments for the OmniPL are the salt level and
stabilizer.
