Plumbing Requirements
The only special plumbing requirements for theAqua Logic are the Turbo Cell and flow switch which are
typically plumbed after the heater but before the pool/spa return valve. Refer to page 9 for detailed
instructions.
Electrical Requirements
Power must be shut off at the circuit breaker before performing any wiring. Be sure to follow all local and
NEC electrical codes.
TheAqua Logic is designed to be used as a circuit breaker subpanel for all the pool equipment. Run the
electrical service from the house’s main panel to theAqua Logic, then install the appropriate circuit breakers
and wire the pool equipment through theAqua Logic relays. If desired, an external subpanel can be used.
TheAqua Logic control circuit requires 120VAC power. Autility receptacle (not included) can be mounted
in the side of theAqua Logic box to provide 120VAC power if desired.

1. Preparing Pool/Spa Water
General Water Chemistry
Salt is required only if you are using the chlorinator features on theAqua Logic Control. If you are NOT
using the chlorinator, it is recommended that you follow all of the other chemistry recommendations be-
sides salt. Refer to the description of theAqua Logic configuration menu for information on enabling/
disabling the chlorinator (see pg 19).
Water Chemistry
The table below summarizes the levels that are recommended by the National Spa and Pool Institute
(NSPI). The only special requirements for theAqua Logic are the salt level and stabilizer.
Saturation index
The saturation index (Si) relates to the calcium and alkalinity in the water and is an indicator of the pool
water “balance”. Your water is properly balanced if the Si is 0 ±0.2. If the Si is below -0.2, the water is
corrosive and plaster pool walls will be dissolved into the water. If the Si is above +0.2, scaling and
staining will occur. Use the chart below to determine the saturation index.

How to use: Measure pool pH, temperature, calcium hardness,
and total alkalinity. Use the chart above to determine Ti, Ci,and
Ai from your measurements. Insert values of pH, Ti, Ci and Ai
into the above equation. If Si equals .2 or more, scaling and
staining may occur. If Si equals -.2 or less corrosion or irritation
may occur.

The pool’s chemistry must be balanced BEFORE activating theAqua Logic’s sanitizing function. NOTE:
If the pool does not have new water, add metal remover and non-copper based algaecide to the pool, per
manufacturer’s instructions. This ensures a quick, troublefree transfer to theAqua Logic system.
Salt
Salt Level
Use the chart below to determine how much salt in pounds or (Kgs) should be added to reach the recom-
mended levels. Use the equations on the following page (measurements are in feet/gallons and meters/
liters) if pool size is unknown.
The operating salt level is between 2700-3400 PPM (parts per million) with 3200 PPM being optimal.
Before adding any salt, test the salt level. This is especially important for retrofit installation to older pools
where all of the chlorine added to the pool over time is ending up as salt. If the level is low, determine the
number of gallons in the pool and add salt according to the chart below. Alow salt level will reduce the
efficiency of the sanitization and result in low chlorine production. Ahigh salt level can cause theAqua
Logic to stop chlorinating. The salt in your pool/spa is constantly recycled and the loss of salt throughout
the swimming season should be minimal. This loss is due primarily to the addition of water because of
splashing, backwashing, or draining (because of rain). Salt is not lost due to evaporation.

Type of Salt to Use
It is important to use only sodium chloride (NaCl) salt that is greater than 99% pure. This is common food
quality or water softener salt and is usually available at building supply stores in 40-80 lb. bags labeled
coarse or fine “Solar Salt”. It is also acceptable to use water conditioning salt pellets, however, it will take
longer for them to dissolve. Do not use rock salt, or salt with more than 1% of yellow prussiate of soda,
salt with anti-caking additives, or iodized salt.
How to Add Salt
For new plaster pools, wait 10-14 days before adding salt to allow the plaster to cure. Turn the circulating
pump on and add salt directly into the pool. Brush the salt around to speed up the dissolving process—do
not allow salt to pile up on the bottom of the pool. Run the filter pump for 24 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 through-
out 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 80 ppm.

2. Mounting the Equipment
Aqua Logic Control Center
TheAqua Logic is contained in a raintight enclosure that is suitable for outdoor mounting. The control must
be mounted a minimum of 5 ft. (2 meters) horizontal distance from the pool/spa (or more, if local codes
require).
The Control Center is designed to mount vertically on a flat surface with the knockouts facing downward.
Because the enclosure also acts as a heat sink (disperses heat from inside the box), it is important not to
block the four sides of the control. Do not mount theAqua Logic inside a panel or tightly enclosed area.
When selecting a location, note that the standard cables supplied with the Turbo Cell, flow switch, tem-
perature sensors, and valve actuators (if applicable) are all 12 ft. (365cm) long. Call the Goldline Service
Dept. (888-921-7665) for information regarding longer cables.
Temperature Sensors
The water temperature sensor is required for proper operation of the heater control and/or solar control
functions. This sensor is used to measure the pool water temperature when the pool/spa suction valve is
switched to the “pool” position and measures the spa water temperature when the valve is switched to the
“spa” position. The sensor should be installed in the filtration plumbing after the filter but before either the
solar or conventionally fueled heaters—refer to the plumbing overview diagram.
1. Drill a 3/8” (10mm) diameter hole in the PVC piping and remove all chips and burrs.
2. Insert sensor until O-ring collar sits flush on the hole.
3. Position hose clamp over the sensor and gently tighten until O-ring makes an adequate seal. Do not
overtighten.
4. For maximum temperature accuracy, cover the sensor and 3” (6cm) of pipe on either side with
insulation and paint white.
Also, if the freeze protection option is selected for the filter pump or any aux output, the air sensor is used
to detect freeze conditions.
IMPORTANT: Mount the air sensor out of direct sunlight.
!
The solar sensor (order separately) is required only for the solar control function. Mount the sensor near
the solar collector array so that it is exposed to the same sunlight as the collectors. Use additional cable
(20AWG) if necessary.
Optional Wired Remote Display/Keypad
TheAqua LogicWired Remote Display/Keypad (Goldline part numberAQL-REMOTE-PS-x) must be
mounted indoors or in a weather protected area (rain should never hit the display/keypad). Note that the
number of outputs on the remote (eg “4” or “8”) must match the outputs on theAqua Logic main control
unit. Up to 3 remote display/keypads can be installed. The display/keypad is designed to mount onto a
standard electrical utility box (same box as a triple light switch, ideal for new construction) or can be
mounted directly onto any wall surface. When selecting a location, note that the wire to theAqua Logic
main unit must be less than 500’ long. Follow the steps below:
1. Remove the display/keypad baseplate from the cover by lifting up on the cover at the lower end of
the keypad. See diagram on page 7.
2. Screw the baseplate in the desired position (screws supplied by installer).

3. See “ElectricalWiring” (page 17) for instructions on running the cable from theAqua Logic main
unit to the remote display/keypad.
Pull up on bottom edge
to remove cover
Optional Wireless Remote Display/Keypad
TheAqua Logic Wireless Remote Display/Keypad (Goldline part numberAQL-REMOTE-RF-PS-x)
must be mounted indoors or in a weather protected area (rain should never hit the display/keypad). Note
that number of outputs on the remote (eg “4” or “8”) must match the outputs on theAqua Logic main
control unit. There is no limit on the number of wireless remotes that can be installed. The display/keypad
can be mounted directly onto any wall surface. When selecting a location, note that the maximum distance
between the wireless remote and the base receiver on theAqua Logic main control unit is 600 feet (200m)
line of site or 200 feet (65m) through walls, etc. If in doubt about the distance, test operation before
installing the remote.Also, note that the remote must be within 6 feet of a standard 120Vwall outlet for the
plug-in power supply (supplied as part of the wireless remote display/keypad). Follow the steps below:
1. Remove the display/keypad baseplate from the cover by lifting up on the cover at the lower end of
the keypad. See diagram above.
2. Screw the baseplate in the desired position (screws supplied by installer).
3. Connect to supplied 9 volt plug-in power supply.
Optional Base Receiver
The optional base receiver (Goldline part numberAQL-BASE-RF) must be installed if either the wireless
remote display/keypad or the wireless spaside remote is used. To install the base receiver, simply remove
the knockout on the upper left side of theAqua Logic main control unit, insert the base receiver, and then
tighten the nut from the inside. Also refer to the manual for the Base Receiver and the diagram on page 18
of this manual.
Optional Valve Actuators
For actuators supplied with theAqua Logic—refer to the Jandy instructions included in the kit with the
actuators. Note that the internal cams in the actuator may also have to be adjusted depending on the way
the actuator is mounted on the valve and the desired valve action.

3. Plumbing
General Pool Equipment
Refer to the following guidelines and the diagram below.
1. Spa should be at or above the level of the pool. For raised spas: Provide a means for the spa to overflow
into the pool and install check valves in the spa return and the pool suction (see diagram) to prevent the
spa draining while the pool/spa suction and return valves are rotating. If spa is not attached to pool: An
overflow pipe of sufficient size to carry full pump flow must be installed between the spa and pool.
2. Plumb 3-way valve on the suction side of the filter pump, so that center port of valve is connected to the
filter pump. Connect spa suction to one port, and pool suction to the other port.
3. Plumb appropriately sized spa makeup line (incorporating a manual valve and a check valve). During
pool circulation, some of the pool water needs to enter the spa to keep it chemically balanced and full of
water. The ball valve adjusts the amount of bypass.
4. Systems with separate main drain and skimmer lines can use a 3-way valve to balance the flow.
5. If a pressure side cleaner requiring a boost pump is used, plumb the pump in the pool return (after the
pool/spa return valve).
6. A valve actuator (connected to Aqua Logic Valve3 or Valve4 output) or a pump (connected to Aqua
Logic Aux output can be used to direct pool return water to a waterfall.
7. Plumb solar system supply and return lines between the filter and heater. Install a 3-way solar valve
(connected to Aqua Logic Valve3 or Valve4 output) and/or a solar booster pump (connected to an Aqua
LogicAux output).
8. The plumbing diagram below is intended to be used as a general guideline and is not a complete plumbing

Turbo Cell
TheTurbo Cell (used for chlorine generation) should be plumbedAFTER the filter and heater. If installed
on a pool/spa combination system, the cell should be plumbed BEFORE the pool/spa return valve in order
to allow proper chlorination of both the pool and the spa. Refer to plumbing diagram below:
12”
min
Flow switch before cell
Flow switch after cell
The cell may be mounted vertically or horizontally, and water can move in either direction through the cell.
Install using the 2" unions provided. Tighten unions BYHAND for a watertight seal. For systems with 1
½“ plumbing use adaptors (provided by installer).
Flow Switch
The flow switch must be plumbed in the same section of plumbing as the Turbo Cell. The flow switch is a
safety device that ensures that water is flowing through the cell before theAqua Logic starts to generate
chlorine. Failure to properly install the flow switch can result in explosive gases accumulating in the pool
plumbingsystem.
IMPORTANT: There must be at least a 12" (30cm) straight pipe run before (upstream)
the flow switch.
!
If the switch is plumbed after the cell, the cell can by counted as the 12" (30cm) of straight pipe. To ensure
proper operation, verify that the arrow on the flow switch points in the direction of water flow.

Low Voltage Wiring
ValveActuators
TheAqua Logic can control up to four 24V automatic valve actuators. Two of the valve outputs are
dedicated to the pool/spa suction (Valve2) and return (Valve1) valves. Valve3 and Valve4 are for general
purpose use (solar, water feature, in-floor cleaner, etc.).
For installations with solar heating, Goldline offers theAQ-SOL-KIT-xx solar kit that contains a valve,
actuator, and extra temperature sensor. The “xx” indicates the valve type from the 3 choices below:
-1P
-2P
1.5” Positive Seal
2” Postive Seal
-2NP 2” Non-Positive Seal
TheAqua Logic is compatible with standard valve actuators manufactured by Jandy, Pentair/Compool,
and Hayward. See diagram on page 10 for the location of valve connectors.
Heater Control
TheAqua Logic allows for independent control of up to 2 heaters plus a solar heating system if applicable.
A typical use for this feature is on a pool that has both a gas heater (for rapid heating of the spa) and a heat
pump (for economical heating of the pool). IMPORTANT: If you chose to use the “Heater2” control
output, then you will not be able to use the “Valve4” output. These 2 functions use the same internal
relay and only one can be enabled. In the configuration menu, if “Heater2” is enabled, then the configura-
tion for “Valve4” will never appear. The heater interface wiring, as described below, is identical for “Heater1”
and “Heater2” except for the terminal connections at theAqua Logic control.
TheAqua Logic provides a set of low voltage dry contacts that can be connected to most gas heaters or
heatpumps with 24V control circuits. Refer to the diagram below for a generic connection. The manuals
supplied with most heaters also include specific wiring instructions for connecting the heater to an external
control (usually identified as “2-wire” remote control). For millivolt or line voltage heaters, contact Goldline
Tech support, 888-921-7665. Refer to the diagrams and the information on the following pages for more
details on the connection to several popular heaters.

Logic will turn on the filter pump to circulate the water. If “Pool and Spa” is selected in the
Pool/Spa sub-menu (see page 21), the valves will also alternate between the pool and spa
every 30 minutes and the filter pump will turn off while the valves are turning. The heater(s)
and chlorinator will not operate if freeze protection is the only reason the pump is running.
NOTE: Heater1 and Heater2 configuration are identical. If Heater2 is enabled then Valve4 will automatically be
disabled due to the fact that they use the same output relay and only 1 function can be assigned to that relay.

If the heater is “Enabled”, the heater relay will turn on when the water temperature is less
than the desired temperature setting and the filter pump is running. The desired temperature
is in the “Settings Menu”. If applicable, the homeowner will be prompted to enter separate
“pool” and “spa” settings. Depending on the position of the pool/spa suction valve, the
proper temperature setting will be used.
Heater Name
The Aqua Logic allows you to assign any one of a number of names (eg “Gas Heater,
Heatpump, Spa Heater, etc) to each of the heater control functions. This will make theAqua
Logic much more user friendly to the homeowner when they want to turn various heaters on
or off or set temperatures.Asheet of small name labels is included with theAqua Logic main
unit and each remote display/keypad so that appropriate pushbuttons can be labeled the
same as the name that you have assigned.
Heater Cooldown
This feature ensures that the heater cools down before water circulation is stopped. When
enabled, The Aqua Logic will continue to run the filter pump for 15 minutes after the heater
turns off. During this period the filter pump LED will flash and also a “Heater Cooldown,
Filter Pump On” message will scroll on the display.
When the filter pump is running and the heater is on: Pressing the “Filter” button once will
cause the heater to turn off, but the filter pump will continue to run for heater cooldown (filter
LED flashing and message on display). Pushing the filter button a second time will override
the heater cooldown operation and turn the filter pump off.
Heater Extend
If “Enabled”, the filter extend logic keeps the filter pump running beyond the normal turn-off
time until the pool (or spa) is heated up to the desired temperature setting (see Settings
Menu). Heater extend will NOT cause the filter pump to turn on, it will only delay the turn
off time when the heater is operating.

Solar
If the solar control logic is “Enabled”, several additional steps must be taken to ensure
proper operation of the solar system. If the solar is operated by a valve, then the Valve3
output must be setup for solar logic (page 24). If the solar is operated by a pump, then one
of the AUX relays must be set up for solar logic (page 23). Also, the “solar” temperature
sensor must be installed. This sensor is typically mounted near the collector array and is
used to sense whether sufficient solar heat is available.
If solar is “Enabled”, the valve or solar pump relay will turn on when the water temperature is
less than the desired temperature setting AND the solar sensor is hotter than the water. The
desired temperature is in the “Settings Menu”. If applicable, the homeowner will be prompted
to enter separate pool and spa desired temperature settings. Depending on the position of
the pool/spa suction valve, the proper temperature setting will be used.
Solar Extend
If “Enabled”, the filter extend logic keeps the filter pump running beyond the normal turn-off
time if solar heat is still available. When solar heat is no longer available, both the solar
valve/pump and filter pump will turn off simultaneously. Solar extend will NOT cause the
filter pump to turn on, it will only delay the turn off time when solar is operating.
Solar Priority
If both “Solar Control” and “Heater Control” are enabled, the Solar Priority feature will keep
the conventional heater off whenever solar heat is available. This provides the most cost
effective way of heating the pool. When solar heat is not available, the conventional heater
will operate normally.

is selected, then the pool/spa suction and return valve actuators should be connected to the
Aqua Logic. Pressing the POOL/SPA button on the display/key pad will allow the home-
owner to alternate between pool and spa operation.
Spa Spillover
When spa spillover is “Enabled”, the homeowner will be able to rotate through “Pool Only”
(both suction and return valves switched to pool), “Spa Only” (both suction and return
valves switched to spa) and “Spillover” (suction valve switched to pool and return valve
switched to spa) by successive presses of the “Pool/Spa) button.
Filter Operation
If “Spa Spillover” is selected, theAqua Logic will automatically switch the pool/spa suction
and return valves to the “spillover” at the start of the programmed pool filtering time period
or when the super-chlorinate function is turned on. The valves will remain in this position for
the remainder of the super-chlorinate period. This option is usually preferable because both
the pool and spa water will be filtered and sanitized.
If “Pool Only” is selected, then the Aqua Logic will switch the pool/spa valves to the “pool
only” position during super chlorinate. This may be desirable on some systems with in-floor
cleaners because it allows the cleaner to operate all the time the pool is being filtered and/or
the super chlorinate is running.

also a good idea to make sure that the relay in the control box is also labeled (hand written)
with the same name as a help to technicians who may service this system at a later date.
Lights Function
Manual On/Off—the lights relay will alternate between turning on and off when the LIGHTS
button is pressed. There is no automatic control logic.
Countdown Timer—the lights relay will turn on when the LIGHTS button is pressed. The
lights relay will turn off automatically after a programmed time (see Timers Menu in the
Operations Manual). The LIGHTS button can also be used to turn the output off.
Timeclock – the lights will turn-on and turn-off at the times set for the lights timeclock in the
Settings Menu (see Operations Manual). The LIGHTS button can also be used to turn the
output on and off.

Aux1 Name
The Aqua Logic allows you to assign any one of a number of names (eg “Cleaner Pump,
Waterfall, Gazebo Light, etc) to each of the aux outputs control function. This will make the
Aqua Logic much more user friendly to the homeowner when they want to turn various aux
equipment on or off or program the timeclocks. Asheet of small name labels is included with
theAqua Logic main unit and each remote display/keypad so that the “Aux” pushbutton can
be labeled the same as the name that you have assigned. At this time it is also a good idea to
make sure that the relay in the control box is also labeled (hand written) with the same name
as a help to technicians who may service this system at a later date.
Aux1 Function
Manual On/Off (default)—the aux relay will alternate between turning on and off when the
aux button is pressed. There is no automatic control logic.
Countdown Timer – the aux relay will turn on when theAUX button is pressed and then will
turn off automatically after a programmed time (see Timers Menu in the Operations Manual).
The AUX button can also be used to turn the output off.
Timeclock – the aux relay will turn-on and turn-off at the times set for the aux1 (aux2)
timeclock in the Timers Menu (see Operations Manual). The AUX button can also be used
to turn the output on and off.
Solar – the aux relay operates a solar booster pump which will turn on when the filter pump
in running and solar heat is available and the water is less than the desired temperature
setting. It is important to note that “Solar Control” must be enabled in the “Solar Config.”
menu for proper operation to occur.
Low Speed of a 2-speed Filter Pump – the Aqua Logic will operate the aux relay whenever
the low speed operation of the filter pump is required. It is very important that the “2-speed”
filter pump option be selected under the “Filter Config.” Menu for proper operation.

Aux1 Interlock
If “Enabled”, this feature will override the function (manual on/off, countdown timer, timeclock,
selected above and turn the aux1 or aux2 relay off. This forced off condition occurs when:
filter pump is off, first 3 minutes of filter pump operation (allows the pump to prime and get
water flowing), when the pool/spa suction return valves are in any position other than “pool
only”, for 3 minutes after solar turns on (allows air in the solar panels to be purged). Interlock
is not available for solar or lowspeed filter pump functions.
Aux1 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 38°F, theAqua Logic will
turn on the aux relay to circulate the water. IMPORTANT: this only enables operation of the
AUX output during freeze--see the “Filter Pump Config.” menu to enable freeze protection
for the main circulation system.
NOTE: The configuration for Valve3 and Valve4 are identical. However, if Heater2 was enabled, then the Valve4
configuration will not appear (a single relay is used to implement either the Heater2 function or the Valve4 function-
-it can not do both).

Valve3 Name
The Aqua Logic allows you to assign any one of a number of names (eg “Cleaner Valve,
Waterfall valve, Solar Valve, etc) to each of the valve output control function. This will make
the Aqua Logic much more user friendly to the homeowner when they want to turn various
valves on or off or program the timeclocks. Asheet of small name labels is included with the
Aqua Logic main unit and each remote display/keypad so that the “Valve3” (and “Valve4”)
pushbutton can be labeled the same as the name that you have assigned.
Valve3 Function
Timeclock – the valve turns on/off at the times set for the Valve3 timeclock in the Timers
Menu (see Operations Manual). The Valve 3 button can also be used to turn the valve
output on or off.
Manual On/Off —the valve3 relay will alternate between turning on and off when the VALVE3
button is pressed. There is no automatic control logic. The Valve 3 button can also be used
to turn the valve output on or off.
Solar (default) – the valve operates when the filter pump is running and solar heat is
available and the water is less than the desired temperature setting. Solar heating must be
enabled in the “Solar Config. menu for proper operation to occur.
Countdown Timer – the valve3 relay will turn on when the VALVE3 button is pressed and
then will turn off automatically after a programmed time (see Timers Menu in the Operations
Manual). The VALVE3 button can also be used to turn the output off.
24
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
In-Floor Cleaner – the valve switches the water returning to the pool between the in-floor
cleaner and the normal return jets which facilitate efficient surface skimming. The valve will
operate the in-floor cleaner for the first half of each clock hour and then switch to the jets/
skimming for the last half of the hour.
Valve3 Interlock
If “Enabled”, this feature will override the function (timeclock, or in-floor cleaner) selected
above and turn the valve off whenever the filter pump is off or the pool/spa suction/return
valves are set to “spa only” or “spillover” operation. Interlock is not available with solar.
Valve3 Freeze Protection
This function protects the pool and plumbed equipment against freeze damage. If Freeze
Protection is enabled and theAIR temperature falls sensor falls below 38°F, theAqua Logic
will turn on the valve to allow circulation of the water. IMPORTANT: this only enables
operation of the Valve3 output during freeze--see the “Filter Pump Config.” menu to enable

Heater Checkout
Follow these instructions to verify that theAqua Logic is properly controlling the heater.
1. Check that theAqua Logic is calling for the heater to turn on as indicated by the “Heater” LED being
illuminated. If the “Heater” LED is illuminated, go directly to step 2; if not, then check the following:
•
•
The heater is enabled (Configuration Menu/Heater Config.)
The heater temperature setting is at least 2ºF greater than the water temperature (Settings Menu /
Pool Heater & Spa Heater)
•
•
The filter pump is running
If the pool has solar heat and the solar priority feature is enabled (Configuration Menu/Solar
Config) then solar must be off in order for the heater to fire. The easiest way to force solar off is to
go to the Settings Menu / Pool Solar & Spa Solar and temporarily lower the temperature settings
below the current water temperature.
2. Check that the heater is running. If not, then check:
•
•
Power is supplied to the heater.
TheAqua Logic control output is properly connected to the heater control (see”Heater Control”
wiring, page 13)
•
Some heaters also have internal switches or jumpers that have to be set correctly for remote
control operation—refer to the heater manual and also “Heater Control” (page 13)
•
•
•
Heater is turned on (“Kill Switch” is in the “ON” position)
If a heater bypass valve is installed, check that water is flowing through the heater
The heater temperature setting is set as high as possible (usually 104ºF/40ºC). Also note that
some heatpumps actually have be set to the lowest possible temperature.

3. Once the heater is running, you can verify the “heater cooldown” feature (optional - see Configuration
Menu/Heater Config.) is operating properly:
•
•
Press the “Filter” button once (for 2 speed pumps, this may require 2 pushes of the “Filter” button)
The heater should turn off (“Heater” LED off) and the “Filter” LED will flash to indicated heater
cooldown is active.
•
•
The display will periodically indicate that the filter pump is on for heater cooldown and show the
minutesremaining
The pump will automatically turn off at the end of the 15 minute heater cooldown period.
For more detailed instructions on control and operation of theAqua Logic system, refer to the Operation
Manual.
Service Mode
Service mode disables all automatic control operation and is intended to be used when servicing the pool
system. To enter service mode, push the SERVICE button once on the main unit keypad. This will initially
turn all outputs off and then allow you to turn outputs on/off manually at the main display (only). In service
mode, the buttons on the optional remote display/keypad and the optional spaside remote will turn outputs
off, but will not turn any output on. Heater control outputs and solar control outputs are prevented from
turning on if the water temperature exceeds 104ºF (40ºC).
Pushing the SERVICE button twice will enter a timed service mode. Service operation as described
above will continue for 3 hours, then automatically return to normal operation.
Push the SERVICE button once more to exit out of Service mode.
