OPERATION  
The Aqua Rite® is an automatic chlorine generation system for pool or spa sanita-  
tion. The operation requires a low concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the  
pool water. These levels are low enough that it normally will not be tasted. The  
Aqua Rite automatically sanitizes your pool by converting the salt into free chlorine  
which kills bacteria and algae in the pool. 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. The only time you  
may need to add more salt to the pool is when water is replenished due to backwashing,  
draining, or splashing (not evaporation).  
The Aqua Rite is designed to handle the purification needs of most residential swim-  
ming pools up to 40,000 gallons (150,000 liters), or the needs of most commercial  
pools up to 25,000 gallons (95,000 liters). Check local codes for other restrictions.  
The actual amount of chlorination required to properly sanitize a pool varies due to  
bather load, rainfall, temperature, and the pool's cleanliness.  
Bromine  
The system can also be used to produce bromine instead of chlorine. Call Goldline  
(888-921-7665) for information regarding bromine generation.  
Water Chemistry  
The table below summarizes the levels that are recommended by the National Spa  
and Pool Institute (NSPI). The only special requirements for the Aqua Rite are the  
salt level and stabilizer. It is important to maintain these levels in order to prevent  
corrosion or scaling and to ensure maximum enjoyment of the pool. Test your water  
periodically. Your Authorized Aqua Rite Dealer (AARD) or most pool stores can  
provide you with the chemicals and procedures to adjust the water chemistry. Be  
sure to tell the pool store that you are using an Aqua Rite chlorine generator.

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 ±.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.

Salt Level  
Use the chart on page 4 to determine how much salt in pounds or (Kgs) need to be  
added to reach the recommended levels. Use the equations below (measurements  
are in feet/gallons and meters/liters) if pool size is unknown.

The ideal salt level is between 2700-3400 ppm (parts per million) with 3200 ppm  
being optimal. If the level is low, determine the number of gallons in the pool and  
add salt according to the chart on page 4. A low salt level will reduce the efficiency  
of the Aqua Rite® and result in low chlorine production. A high salt level can cause  
the Aqua Rite® to shutdown and may begin to give a salty taste to your pool (gener-  
ally, the salt will begin to be tasted at a level of about 3500-4000 ppm). The salt in  
your pool/spa is constantly recycled and the loss of salt throughout the swimming  
season should be small. 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 build-  
ing supply stores in 40-80 lb. bags labeled "Coarse Solar Salt". It is also acceptable  
to use water conditioning salt pellets, however, it will take longer for them to dis-  
solve. Do not use rock salt, salt with yellow prussiate of soda, salt with anti-caking  
additives, or iodized salt.  
How to Add or Remove 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 vac 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.  
The only way to lower the salt concentration is to partially drain the pool and refill  
with fresh water.  
Always check stabilizer (cyanuric acid), when checking salt. These levels will most  
likely decline together. Use the chart on page 5 to determine how much stabilizer  
must be added to raise the level to 80 ppm.

Controls  
Main Switch  
Note: When the Aqua Rite® is being controlled by the optional Jandy AquaLink®  
RS, the main switch will not funciton.  
AUTO: For normal operation, the Main Switch should be left in the AUTO  
position. In this position the Aqua Rite will produce chlorine according to the  
"Desired Output %" adjustment setting for the entire filtering/pumping cycle.  
SUPER CHLORINATE: When you have an abnormally high bather load, a  
large amount of rain, a cloudy water condition, or any other condition which  
needs a large amount of purification to be introduced, put the Main Switch in the  
SUPER CHLORINATE position. This electronically “super chlorinates” (shocks)  
the water for 24 hours (filter pump must be on during this time) or until the  
power has been turned off, whichever comes first. At the end of the super chlo-  
rinate time, be sure to put the switch back into the AUTO position.  
OFF: The OFF position prevents the Aqua Rite from energizing the electrolytic  
cell. In this position there is no chlorine generation. NOTE: To service any of  
the pool equipment or the Aqua Rite, turn the power off at the circuit breaker.  
Indicator LED's  
POWER When illuminated, the Aqua Rite has input power.  
GENERATING This LED is on steady during normal operation. When flash-  
ing, the pool water is too hot or cold to operate.  
SUPER CHLORINATE Illuminates during Super Chlorination. See descrip-  
tion above.  
AQUALINK RS When illuminated, indicates that the Jandy AquaLink RS is  
controlling the Aqua Rite--the main switch and "Desired Output %" adjustment  
are in-active. When flashing, the AquaLink RS is in SERVICE or TIME-OUT  
mode and the Main Switch and "Desired Output %" adjustment are active.  
NO FLOW When illuminated, the flow switch has detected no water flowing  
and the Aqua Rite has stopped generating chlorine. A flashing LED indicates a  
15-60 second time delay period.  
LOW SALT When flashing, the salt level is low (below 2700ppm) and Aqua  
Rite is generating at low efficiency. When illuminated steady, the salt level is  
too low and Aqua Rite has shut down. Before adding large quantities of salt, it is  
advisable to have your salt level professionally checked.  
HIGH SALT When flashing, the salt level is high (above 4000ppm) but Aqua  
Rite will continue to operate. When illuminated steady, the salt level is too high  
and Aqua Rite has shut down.  
INSPECT CELL A flashing indicator signifies that either the cell efficiency is  
reduced or that it is time for regularly scheduled cell inspection. In either case,  
inspect cell and clean if necessary. When illuminated steady, cell efficiency is  
greatly reduced and the Aqua Rite® has stopped producing chlorine. Inspect,  
clean or replace if necessary.

"Desired Output %" adjustment knob  
The "Desired Output %" adjustment knob is located in the lower center of the Aqua  
Rite control panel. This setting is used to control the amount of chlorine the Aqua  
Rite generates. Raise this setting to increase chlorine level and lower it to decrease  
chlorine level. Note: The "Desired Output %" adjustment will not function when  
the Aqua Rite is being controlled by the optional Jandy AquaLink RS.  
Salt Display  
The Salt Display shows the current salt concentration of the pool water. Readings  
are in ppm (parts per million). Refer to the Water Chemistry section for recom-  
mended salt levels as well as how to add/remove salt.  
The factory default display is in English units (ppm). If Metric units (grams per  
liter) are preferred, push the small button next the the display once. The display will  
now show the pool temperature. With the temperature displayed, move the main  
switch from AUTO to SUPER CHLORINATE and back to AUTO. The temperature  
display will instantly switch to Celsius and the salt display will switch to grams/liter.  
Repeat this process to switch back to English units. (ppm and Fahrenheit)  
Operation  
Assuming that the water chemical levels are in the recommended range, there are  
three factors that you can control which directly contribute to the amount of chlorine  
the Aqua Rite will generate:  
1. filter time each day (hours)  
2. the "Desired Output %" setting  
3. the amount of salt in the pool  
The filter pump timer should be set so that all of the water in the pool passes through  
the filter each day. For pools with high chlorine demand, the timer may have to be  
set longer to generate enough chlorine.  
To find the optimum "Desired Output %" setting, start at approximately 50%. Test  
the chlorine level every few days and adjust the dial up or down accordingly. It  
usually takes 2-3 adjustments to find the ideal setting for your pool/spa and after  
that, it should only take minor, infrequent adjustments. Because the chlorine de-  
mand of the pool increases with temperature most people find they have to adjust the  
dial up at the peak of the summer and down during the colder periods. The Aqua  
Rite automatically stops generating when the pool water temperatures drops below  
50º F. This is usually not a problem because bacteria and algae stop growing at this  
temperature. You can override this low temperature cutoff by switching to SUPER  
CHLORINATE for a day.  
Prevent over-chlorination during cold weather: Check chlorine levels periodically.  
Most pools require less chlorine during cold weather and the “Desired Output %”  
dial should be turned down accordingly.  
When using the optional Jandy AquaLink® RS control:  
The Jandy AquaLink RS is a multifunction pool controller and can fully control the  
function of the Aqua Rite chlorinator. The "AquaLink RS" LED on the Aqua Rite  
chlorinator will be illuminated when Jandy AquaLink RS is in control. Adjustment  
of the Aqua Rite output % and also Superchlorination can be controlled from the  
main menu of the Jandy AquaLink RS. Refer to the AquaLink RS instructions for  
more information. The Aqua Rite salt display and LED indicators operate as nor-  
mal, but the main switch and "Desired Ouput %" dial are disabled.

Maintaining theAqua Rite System  
To maintain maximum performance, it is recommended that you open and visually  
inspect the cell every 3 months or after cleaning your filter. The Aqua Rite® will  
remind you to do this by flashing the "Inspect Cell" LED after approximately 500  
hours of operation. After you inspect the cell (and clean, if necessary) press the  
small "diagnostic" button next to the display for 3 seconds to stop the flashing "In-  
spect Cell" LED and start the timer for the next 500 hours.  
The Aqua Rite electrolytic cell has a self cleaning feature incorporated into the elec-  
tronic control’s logic. In most cases this self cleaning action will keep the cell work-  
ing at optimum efficiency. In areas where water is hard (high mineral content) and  
in pools where the water chemistry has been allowed to get "out of balance", the cell  
may require periodic cleaning. The "Inspect Cell" LED will indicate if cell effi-  
ciency is decreased and servicing is necessary. If the "Inspect Cell" LED remains on  
after a thorough cleaning, the cell may be worn and require replacement.  
Servicing and Cleaning the Aqua Rite cell  
Turn off power to the Aqua Rite before removing the electrolytic cell. Once re-  
moved, look inside the cell and inspect for scale formation (light colored crusty or  
flaky deposits) on the plates and for any debris which has passed through the filter  
and caught on the plates. If no deposits are visible, reinstall. If deposits are seen, use  
a high pressure garden hose and try to flush the scale off. If this is not successful, use  
a plastic or wood tool (do not use metal as this will scratch the coating off the plates)  
and scrape deposits off of plates. Note that a buildup on the cell indicates that there  
is an unusually high calcium level in the pool (old pool water is usually the cause). If  
this is not corrected, you may to have to periodically clean the cell. The simplest  
way to avoid this is to bring the pool chemistry to the recommended levels as speci-  
fied.  
Mild Acid Washing: Use only in severe cases where flushing and scraping will not  
remove the majority of deposits. To acid wash, turn off power to Aqua Rite. Re-  
move cell from piping. In a clean plastic container, mix a 4:1 solution of water to  
muriatic acid (one gallon of water to one quart of muriatic acid). ALWAYS ADD  
ACID TO WATER - NEVER ADD WATER TO ACID. Be sure to wear rubber  
gloves and appropriate eye protection. The level of the solution in the container  
should just reach the top of the cell so that the wire harness compartment is NOT  
submerged. It may be helpful to coil the wiring before immersing the cell. The cell  
should soak for a few minutes and then rinse with a high pressure garden hose. If any  
deposits are still visible, repeat soaking and rinsing. Replace cell and inspect again  
periodically.  
Winterizing  
The Aqua Rite electrolytic cell and flow detection switch will be damaged by freez-  
ing water just as your pool plumbing would. In areas of the country which experi-  
ence severe or extended periods of freezing temperatures, be sure to drain all water  
from the pump, filter, and supply and return lines before any freezing conditions  
occur. The electronic control is capable of withstanding any winter weather and  
should not be removed.  
Spring Start-up  
DO NOT turn the Aqua Rite on, until the pool water chemistry has been brought to  
the proper levels. This information can be found on page 1.

Preparing Pool/Spa Water  
Refer to page 1 for recommended chemical levels. The pool's chemistry must be  
balanced BEFORE activating the Aqua Rite®. NOTE: If the pool does not have new  
water, add 1 quart of metal remover and 1 quart of non-copper based algaecide to the  
pool, per manufacturers instructions. This ensures a quick, troublefree transfer to  
the Aqua Rite system.  
Mounting the AquaRite Control  
The Aqua Rite is contained in a raintight enclosure that is suitable for outdoor mount-  
ing. The control must be mounted a minimum of 5 ft horizontal distance (or more, if  
local codes require) from the pool/spa.  
The control 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 Aqua Rite inside a panel or tight enclosed area.

Plumbing  
Ensure that the Aqua Rite® installation does not constitute a cross connection with  
the local potable water supply. Consult local plumbing codes.  
The flow switch and cell should be plumbed in the return line to the pool/spa. The  
preferred installation is after (downstream) all the pool equipment (filter, heater,  
solar, etc.). The electrolytic cell and flow switch tee fitting are designed to be plumbed  
into 2" PVC pipe. Adapters (not included) can be used for systems with 1½" plumb-  
ing.  
For proper plumbing, refer to the overview diagram on page 9. Alternate configura-  
tions #1 shows the flow switch can also be in front of the cell. Configurations #2 and  
#3 allow for chlorination of both the pool and spa during spa spillover operation, but  
prevent overchlorination of the spa during "spa only" operation. Never use configu-  
ration #4.

Flow Switch:  
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" of straight pipe.  
To ensure proper operation, verify that the arrow on the flow  
switch (located on top of gray hex) points in the direction of wa-  
ter flow.  
Electrolytic Cell: Install using the unions provided. Tighten unions BY HAND  
for a watertight seal. For pool/spa combination systems with  
spillover, use configurations #2 or #3 above to allow chlorina-  
tion of both the pool and spa during spillover but preventing  
overchlorination when operating the spa only.

Wiring  
Power must be shut off at the circuit breaker before performing any wiring. Be sure  
to follow Local and NEC electrical codes. To provide safe operation, the Aqua Rite®  
must be properly grounded and bonded.  
Input Power For stand alone operation:  
Wire the Aqua Rite to the LOAD SIDE of the filter pump timer. It is very important  
that the Aqua Rite is powered only when the pump is running.  
Refer to the wiring label on the Aqua Rite as well as the diagram below to determine  
correct wiring connections. The Aqua Rite is shipped from the factory with the  
configuration jumpers in 240VAC position. If using 120VAC, move the jumpers as  
shown below. For Canadian models, the Aqua Rite should be connected to a circuit  
protected by a class A ground fault interrupter. Be sure to connect the ground wire  
to the green ground screw terminal located on the bottom of the enclosure.

Visit www.goldlinecontrols.com for helpful information on operation, maintenance  
and troubleshooting your Aqua Rite® Electronic Chlorine Generator. You may also  
call for technical assistance at 888-921-POOL. Technicians at the factory are avail-  
able from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM Eastern Standard Time, Monday through Friday. Be  
sure to have the following information when you call:  
1. Model and Serial # of control and cell  
2. Date of installation  
3. Installing Company or Dealer  
4. Salt level  
Diagnostic Displays  
Sequential pushes of the small "diagnostic" button next to the LCD display will  
cause the Aqua Riteto display the following information:  
1. Pool temperature (xx degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius)  
2. Cell voltage (typically 22.0 to 25.0 volts when chlorine is being generated, other-  
wise 30-35V)  
3. Cell current (typically 4.50 to 7.80 amps when chlorine is being generated, other-  
wise 0 amps)  
4. Desired Output % ("0P" -- "100P" depending on knob position or input from  
Jandy AquaLink RS)  
5. Instant salinity ( -xxxx ppm or -x.xx grams/Liter)  
6. Product name sent to the Jandy AquaLink RS display ("AL-0" which signifies  
"Aqua Rite")  
7. Software revision level (r1.xx)  
On the 8th push of the button the display will revert back to the default salt display.  
Also, if the button is not pushed for 30 seconds, the display will revert back to the  
standard salt display.  
Common Problems and Solutions  
1.  
"Power" LED not on  
Check to make sure either 120VAC or 240VAC input power is connected to the  
proper screw terminals at the Aqua Rite control. Verify input voltage with a voltme-  
ter. If there is input power, the fuse may have blown. The Aqua Rite is protected by  
a 20 amp slow blow fuse located on the bottom of the enclosure, next to the wiring  
knockouts.  
2.  
"Generating" LED flashing  
The temperature of the pool water is too high or low to operate. You can override  
this by switching the main switch to SUPER CHLORINATE. The Aqua Rite will  
run at maximum output for the remainder of the current pump cycle or 24 hours,  
whichever comes first.  
3.  
"No Flow" LED illuminated  
The Aqua Rite has sensed a no flow condition and has stopped generating chlorine.  
Check that the flow switch is plugged into the connector on the bottom of the control  
unit and that the wire is not cut or damaged. Make sure you have at least 12" of  
straight pipe before the flow switch. If there is adequate flow and the LED is still on,  
check that the arrows on the flow switch (on top of hex) are pointing in the direction  
of flow.

4.  
"Low Salt" LED illuminated or flashing  
Check salt level in pool/spa. If salt level is low, add salt according to chart on page  
4. Before adding large quantities of salt, it is advisable to have your salt level  
professionally checked.  
5.  
"High Salt" LED illuminated  
Check salt level in pool/spa. If salt level is too high, lower salt level by draining  
some of the pool water out of the pool and replace with fresh water. Continue until  
the salt concentration is at recommended levels.  
6.  
"Inspect Cell" LED flashing  
Inspect and clean cell according to directions on page 8. When done, press the  
"diagnostic" button for 3 seconds to stop the "Inspect Cell" LED flashing.  
7.  
"Inspect Cell" LED illuminated  
Remove and inspect the cell for scale. If the cell is scaled, follow the directions on  
page 8 for cell cleaning. If the pool has the proper amount of salt and the "Inspect  
Cell" LED is still illuminated, the cell may be worn and need replacement.  
8.  
Possible causes of little or no free chlorine residual  
- Aqua Rite® switch in OFF position.  
- Desired Output % adjustment setting is too low.  
- Low stabilizer (Cyanuric Acid).  
- Filter pump time too short (8 hours for average size pools, more for large pools)  
- Salt level too low (below 2500 ppm, Low Salt LED on).  
- Salt level too high (High Salt LED on).  
- Very warm pools increase chlorine demand--increase Output %, or filter run time.  
- Cold water (below 50F) causes AquaRite to stop generating (Generating LED  
flashing).  
- Excessive scaling on cell.  
- High level of Nitrogen in pool water.
