Manual System Operation

Turn the power on at the main panel and turn the OnCommand control power circuit breaker on.  The keypad will

show the default display.  The default display alternates between the day/time, air and pool (or spa) temperature.

Under certain circumstances, additional displays may be added to the default menu to inform you about system

operation.  Refer to the Programming Menu Flowchart on page 5 to view all possible displays.     The OnCommand

will automatically scroll through all of the available default menu displays or you can press “<” or “>” to manually

scroll.

While the main objective of the OnCommand is to automate the operation of your pool/spa system, there may be

certain times when you want to override the automatic operation and control the equipment manually.  To operate

the pool equipment manually while keeping the automation active, perform the following procedures.  Note that if

you turn a relay on manually, it will remain on until either you turn it off manually, or the next time the programmed

automatic operation would normally turn that relay off.  Example:  the filter pump is programmed to run from 9:00A

to 5:00P daily.  If you turn the filter pump on manually at 8:00PM, it will run continuously until the next day at

5:00PM at which time it will turn off and follow the normal program from then on.  Manually turning off a relay

works in a similar fashion.

Filter Pump

Single Speed Filter Pump:

  If the pump is currently off, press the FILTER button to turn on the pump.  Pressing

the FILTER 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 FILTER 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 FILTER button again to turn off the filter pump.

Two Speed or Variable 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(est) 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 OnCommand will turn on the filter pump to circulate the water.

For helpful troubleshooting information on any of these issues, go to the Diagnostic Menu and then scroll through

the various items until you see the cause for the “CHECK SYSTEM” LED being illuminated.

Diagnostic Menu

To enter the Diagnostic Menu, press the “Menu” button repeatedly until the display shows “Diagnostic Menu”.  At

this point, you can use either the “<” or “>” buttons to scroll through the various menu items which are described

below:

Salt Level

If external chlorination is used

Salt level of the pool is 3200.  This is measured by the Goldline Aqua Rite or Hayward Swimpure when

external chlorination is used.

This display will be shown only if external chlorination is used and requires a Aqua Rite or Swimpure

chlorine generator.  

For the chlorinator to be operating, several other things must be happening: the

filter pump must be running, the flow switch must be detecting flow, the chlorinator setting must be set

greater than 0%, the water temperature at the cell must be between 50ºF and 140ºF, and the salt level

must be within the operating range.  If any of these conditions are not met, the chlorinator diagnostic

display will tell you the reason.  It’s possible to have more than one reason, in which case after you

rectify what was displayed the first time, a second display will appear.

Possible error messages are:

 •  PCB Error

 •  Low Salt/Amps/Minerals

 •  High Salt/Amps/Minerals

 •  Test Salt Level (Test Minerals)

 Refer to the Aqua Rite or Swimpure manual to correct error.

If the sensor appears to operating properly, then the temperature will be displayed.  If this temperature

is not correct then check the placement of the sensor.  If the problem is not placement related, then the

sensor will, most likely, require replacement.  If the display is “Open Circuit” or “Short Circuit” then

check the wiring to the sensor and also make sure that the wires are secure in the terminal block in the

OnCommand main unit.
