hours with the suction coming from the main drain (use pool vacuum if there is no main drain) to
allow the salt to evenly disperse throughout the pool. The salt display may take 24 hours to respond
to the change in salt concentration.
Always check stabilizer (cyanuric acid), when checking salt. These levels will most likely decline
together. Use the chart below to determine how much stabilizer must be added to raise the level
to 40 ppm.
System Startup
Before Startup
Before starting the OmniPL for the first time, be sure that the following items have been completed:
1. Pool/spa chemicals are within the recommended levels according to the chart on page 25.
2. If using chlorinator function, pool/spa salt level is between 2700 – 3400 PPM.
3. Properly rated circuit breakers are installed in the OmniPL subpanel.
4. All wiring is performed according to NEC and local codes.
5. The OmniPL is properly grounded and bonded.
Firmware Upgrade
The OmniPL’s firmware is the basic operating system that runs the unit. The OmniPL was shipped
with the version of firmware that was available at the time of release. There may be a newer version
available and if so, we encourage you to upgrade. Also, if you have experienced problems, Hayward

firmware, refer to the procedure shown in the OmniPL Operation Manual. Upgrading firmware can
be performed before or after Configuration but should be done before the OmniPL begins operation.
