OPERATIONThe Aqua Rite Pro is an automatic chlorine generation system for pool or spa sanitiza-tion. The operation requires a low concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the poolwater. These levels are low enough that it normally will not be tasted. The Aqua Rite Proautomatically sanitizes your pool by converting the salt into free chlorine which killsbacteria and algae in the pool. Chlorine will revert back to sodium chloride after killingbacteria. These reactions will continuously recycle virtually eliminating the need to addsanitizing chemicals to your pool. The only time you may need to add more salt to thepool is when water is replenished due to backwashing, draining, or splashing (notevaporation).

The Aqua Rite Pro is designed to handle the purification needs of most residentialswimming pools up to 40,000 gallons (150,000 liters), or the needs of most commercialpools up to 25,000 gallons (95,000 liters). Check local codes for other restrictions. Theactual amount of chlorination required to properly sanitize a pool varies due to batherload, rainfall, temperature, and the pool's cleanliness.

Aqua Rite Pro chlorine generators operating with software version 1.10 or later aredesigned to use one of 3 different chlorinator cells that are available from your autho-rized Hayward/Goldline dealer. These cells are not included with the Aqua Rite Pro andmust be purchased before installation. Choose the appropriate cell based on the size ofyour pool. The models are shown below:

T-CELL-15- for pools up to 40,000 gallonsT-CELL-9 - for pools up to 25,000 gallonsT-CELL-3 - for pools up to 15,000 gallons

Note that the installation and mounting requirements are the same for all models.

The Aqua Rite Pro can be used with the optional Hayward/Goldline AQL-CHEM toprovide a fully integrated chemistry solution for your pool. With the AQL-CHEMinstalled, the Aqua Rite Pro senses the pool's ORP and pH levels and automaticallygenerates the correct amount of chlorine to keep your pool properly sanitized. The AquaRite Pro can also control pH by introducing acid or CO2 into the pool using an AQL-CHEM2 (120V), AQL-CHEM2-240 (240V) or other dispensing device requiring 120VACor 240VAC on/off control. The Aqua Rite Pro and AQL-CHEM products offer the user acomplete automated system controlling both sanitization and pH balance.

NOTE: Hayward/Goldline does not recommend using the Aqua Rite Pro togenerate bromine.

NOTE: Before installing this product as part of a saline water purification system in apool or spa using natural stone for coping or for immediately adjacent patios/decking, aqualified stone installation specialist should be consulted regarding the appropriatetype, installation, sealant (if any) and maintenance of stone used around a saline poolwith electronic chlorine generator in your particular location and circumstances.

NOTE: The use of dry acid (sodium bisulfate) to adjust pool pH is discouraged espe-cially in arid regions where pool water is subject to excessive evaporation and is notcommonly diluted with fresh water. Dry acid can cause a buildup of by-products thatcan damage your chlorinator cell.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Check System IndicatorThe “CHECK SYSTEM” LED will alert you when the Aqua Rite Pro detects any of thefollowing conditions that are abnormal and require attention for optimal operation ofyour pool. Press “<“ or “>” to view all of the existing “Check System” conditions.

• Inspect Cell -- For optimum operation, you will need to inspect the Aqua Rite Prochlorinator cell approximately every 3 months and clean the cell if necessary. TheAqua Rite Pro will automatically remind you when it is time and display “Inspect Cell,+ to reset” as part of the rotating Default Menu. Clean the cell (see instructions, page12) and then press the “+” button during the “Inspect Cell” display to reset the timer.

• Low Salt/Minerals or Very Low Salt/Minerals -- When the salt is too low the AquaRite Pro will generate less chlorine and the life of the cell is degraded. Check the celland clean if necessary before adding salt.

Water ChemistryThe table below summarizes the levels that are recommended by The Association ofPool and Spa Professionals (APSP). The only special requirements for the Aqua RitePro are the salt level and stabilizer. It is important to maintain these levels in order toprevent corrosion or scaling and to ensure maximum enjoyment of the pool. Test yourwater periodically. Your authorized Aqua Rite Pro dealer or most pool stores can provideyou with the chemicals and procedures to adjust the water chemistry. Be sure to tell thepool store that you are using an Aqua Rite Pro chlorine generator.

Saturation indexThe saturation index (Si) relates to the calcium and alkalinity in the water and is anindicator 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 intothe water. If the Si is above +0.2, scaling and staining will occur. Use the chart below todetermine the saturation index.

Hayward/Goldline Aqua Rite ChlorinatorThe Aqua Rite Pro can control one or more Hayward/Goldline Aqua Rite chlorinatorswhen additional sanitizing capacity is required. A 4 wire connection is used to commu-nicate to the Aqua Rite(s) and can be wired up to 500' apart. Any outdoor rated 4conductor cable can be used. Refer to the wiring diagram below and on the followingpage for proper wiring connection to the Aqua Rite. NOTE: There must be only 1"primary" unit. All other Aqua Rite units must be configured as "secondary".

The Aqua Rite(s) power input must be wired to the LOAD SIDE of the filter pump timer(the same as the Aqua Rite Pro).

Optional pH Dispense WiringRequires the use of a Hayward/Goldline AQL-CHEM sensing device and an AQL-CHEM2, AQL-CHEM2-240 or other pH dispensing device requiring 120VAC or240VAC on/off control. A screw terminal block located on the enclosure surface belowthe transformer is provided for connection to an AQL-CHEM2, AQL-CHEM2-240 orother pH related dispensing device (peristaltic pumps, solenoid valves, etc.). Afterproperly installing and configuring the AQL-CHEM and the pH dispensing device, theAqua Rite Pro will turn on the dispensing device when pH correction is required.

IMPORTANT: The dispensing device must be powered by the same voltage used topower the Aqua Rite Pro. Configure the output voltage to the pH device by moving thewiring connections on the mainboard as shown on page 18.

Example: If an AQL-CHEM2-240 (240VAC) will be used, the Aqua Rite Pro must bepowered by 240VAC. Connect the 240VAC pigtail supplied with the AQL-CHEM to theAqua Rite Pro’s terminal block as shown in the diagram. The AQL-CHEM2-240 will thenplug into the pigtail’s 240VAC receptacle. Refer to the AQL-CHEM manual for moredetailed information.

Salt LevelUse the chart on page 4 to determine how much salt in pounds or (Kgs) need to be addedto 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 beingoptimal. If the level is low, determine the number of gallons in the pool and add saltaccording to the chart on page 4. A low salt level will reduce the efficiency of the AquaRite Pro and result in low chlorine production. A high salt level can cause the Aqua RitePro to shutdown and may begin to give a salty taste to your pool (generally, the salt willbegin to be tasted at a level of about 3500-4000 ppm). The salt in your pool/spa isconstantly recycled and the loss of salt throughout the swimming season should besmall. 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 UseIt is important to use only sodium chloride (NaCl) salt that is greater than 99% pure. Thisis common food quality or water softener salt and is usually available in 40-80 lb. bagslabeled "Coarse 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, salt with yellowprussiate of soda, salt with anti-caking additives, or iodized salt.

How to Add or Remove SaltFor 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 aroundto speed up the dissolving process--do not allow salt to pile up on the bottom of thepool. Run the filter pump for 24 hours with the suction coming from the main drain (usepool vac if there is no main drain) to allow the salt to evenly disperse throughout thepool. 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 withfresh water.

Always check stabilizer (cyanuric acid), when checking salt. These levels will mostlikely decline together. Use the chart on page 5 to determine how much stabilizer mustbe added to raise the level to 80 ppm.

Electrolytic Cell and Flow Switch:The electrolytic cell and flow switch cables are terminated with connectors which pluginto the Aqua Rite Pro for easy attachment and removal. The door of the Aqua Rite Promust be open and the front panel removed to access the cell cable and flow switchconnectors. Route the flow switch cable through one of the knockouts. A cutout in theenclosure is provided for the cell cable. The diagram below shows the location of theseconnections.

Electrolytic Cell: Install using the unions provided. Tighten unions BY HAND for awatertight seal. For pool/spa combination systems with spillover,use configurations #2 or #3 above to allow chlorination of both thepool and spa during spillover but preventing overchlorination whenoperating the spa only.

WiringPower must be shut off at the circuit breaker before performing any wiring. Be sure tofollow Local and NEC electrical codes. To provide safe operation, the Aqua Rite Promust be properly grounded and bonded.

Input Power:Wire the Aqua Rite Pro to the LOAD SIDE of the filter pump timer. It is very importantthat the Aqua Rite Pro is powered only when the pump is running. Note that this circuitmust be protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Breaker (GFCB).

Refer to the wiring label on the Aqua Rite Pro as well as the diagram below to determinecorrect wiring connections. The Aqua Rite Pro is shipped from the factory with theconfiguration jumpers in 240VAC position. If using 120VAC, move the jumpers asshown below. IMPORTANT: If a dispensing device will be used (page 17), it must bepowered by the same input voltage as the Aqua Rite Pro.

For Canadian models, the Aqua Rite Pro shall be connected to a circuit protected by aclass A ground fault interrupter. Be sure to connect the ground wire to the green groundscrew terminal located on the bottom of the enclosure.

Bonding:A lug used for bonding is attached to the bottom of the Aqua Rite Pro enclosure (twolugs are provided for Canadian models). The Aqua Rite Pro must be bonded with an 8AWG copper wire (6 AWG Canada) to the pool bonding system. Refer to the diagrambelow.

If an AQL-CHEM kit will be used, take into consideration the space necessary formounting the unit as well as running the plumbing lines from the AQL-CHEM's probecell to the pool plumbing. Refer to the AQL-CHEM manual for specific mounting in-structions.

PlumbingEnsure that the Aqua Rite Pro installation does not constitute a cross connection withthe local potable water supply. Consult local plumbing codes.

The Aqua Rite Pro is packaged with a flow switch and cell unions. The cell must bepurchased separately. Refer to page 1 for information about available chlorinator cells.

The flow switch and cell should be plumbed in the return line to the pool/spa. Thepreferred 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"(51mm) PVC pipe. Adapters (not included) can be used for systems with 1½" (38 mm)plumbing.

For proper plumbing, refer to the overview diagram on page 13. Alternate configura-tions #1 shows the flow switch can also be in front of the cell. Configurations #2 and #3allow for chlorination of both the pool and spa during spa spillover operation, butprevent overchlorination of the spa during "spa only" operation. Never use configura-tion #4.

Flow Switch: IMPORTANT: There must be at least a 12" (25cm) straight pipe runbefore (upstream) the flow switch. If the switch is plumbed after thecell, the cell can by counted as the 12" (25cm) of straight pipe. Toensure proper operation, verify that the arrow on the flow switch(located on top of gray hex) points in the direction of water flow.

ControlsKeypad Buttons

RUN/STOP: The Aqua Rite Pro will toggle back and forth between RUN and STOPwith each push of the RUN/STOP button.

RUN: When in RUN mode, the Aqua Rite Pro will produce chlorine according to thedesired output % or ORP setting (when AQL-CHEM is used) for the entire filtering/pumping cycle. The Aqua Rite Pro can only produce chlorine when RUN is selectedand the filter pump is running.

STOP: When in STOP mode, the Aqua Rite Pro is prevented from energizing theelectrolytic cell. In this position there is no chlorine generation. NOTE: To serviceany of the pool equipment or the Aqua Rite Pro, the power must be turned off at thecircuit breaker.

SUPER CHLORINATE: (if optional AQL-CHEM sensing is NOT used) When youhave an abnormally high bather load, a large amount of rain, a cloudy water condi-tion, or any other condition which needs a large amount of purification to be intro-duced, SUPER CHLORINATE should be selected. This electronically “super chlori-nates” (shocks) the water for a user selectable period of 1-96 hours (filter pump mustbe on during this time) or until the power has been turned off, whichever comes first.The Aqua Rite Pro will automatically revert back to the previous desired output %setting at the end of the super chlorinate period.

INFO: Push the INFO button to enter the Information Menu (see Information Menu).

SETTINGS: Push the SETTINGS button to enter the Settings Menu (see SettingsMenu).

CURSORS (+, -, <, >): Use these buttons to scroll through submenus, make selec-tions and adjust values.

Indicator LED'sRUN/STOP: When illuminated, the Aqua Rite Pro is in automatic mode and willproduce chlorine based on the desired output % or ORP setting (when AQL-CHEMis used). When the LED is off, the Aqua Rite Pro has been manually turned off. It willnot produce chlorine until RUN has been selected.

SUPER CHLORINATE: When illuminated, the Super Chlorinate feature is active.

CHECK SYSTEM: When Check System is illuminated, an error has occurred thatrequires attention. Refer to the Troubleshooting section of this manual for possibleerrors and solutions.

INSTALLATIONInstallation must be performed in accordance with Local and NEC codes.

Preparing Pool/Spa WaterRefer to page 2 for recommended chemical levels. The pool's chemistry must be bal-anced BEFORE activating the Aqua Rite Pro. NOTE: If the pool does not have newwater, add 1 quart (1 liter) of metal remover and 1 quart (1 liter) of non-copper basedalgaecide to the pool, per manufacturer's instructions. This ensures a quick, troublefreetransfer to the Aqua Rite Pro system.

Mounting the Aqua Rite Pro ControlThe Aqua Rite Pro is contained in a raintight enclosure that is suitable for outdoormounting. The control must be mounted a minimum of 5 ft. (1.5 meters) horizontaldistance (or more, if local codes require) from the pool/spa.

The control is designed to mount horizontally on a flat surface with the knockoutsfacing downward. Because the enclosure also acts as a heat sink (disperses heat frominside the box), it is important not to block the four sides of the control. Do not mountAqua Rite Pro inside a panel or tight enclosed area.

Information MenuThe Information Menu displays valuable system and pool information. The Aqua RitePro will default to displaying a portion of the Information Menu when no buttons havebeen pushed for 2 minutes. The unit will automatically scroll through several statusdisplays. To access all of the Information Menu items, push the INFO button on thefront panel. Advance through the various menu items using the "<" or ">" buttons. Alist of the Information Menu items is shown below.

The Aqua Rite Pro will refer to theselevels to determine how much chlorine to generate (ORP) and howmuch CO2 or acid to dispense (pH). Refer to the AQL-CHEM manualfor specific information about these levels as well as the recommendedranges.

Press to switch chlorinator operation to opposite polarity (15 second delay)

+/- 23.45V is the voltage applied to the chlorinator cell+/-6.75A is the current (amps) through the cell84ºF is the water temperature at the cell3200PPM is the “instant” salt level at this time

For the chlorinator to be operating, several conditions must exist: thefilter pump must be running, the flow switch must be detecting flow,the chlorinator setting must be set greater than 0%, the watertemperature at the cell must be between 50ºF and 140ºF, and the saltlevel must be within the operating range. If any of these conditionsare not met, the chlorinator diagnostic display will tell you the reason.It’s possible to have more than one reason, in which case after yourectify what was displayed the first time, a second display will appear.

If the current (amps) display is 0.00A, then the chlorinator is operatingnormally but is in the off part of its normal operating cycle. Simplypress either the “+” or “-“ key to start a new cycle.

The Aqua Rite Pro automatically stops generating when the pool water temperaturesdrops below 50ºF. This is usually not a problem because bacteria and algae stop grow-ing at this temperature. You can override this low temperature cutoff by using the SuperChlorinate function for a day.

Prevent overchlorination during cold weather: Check chlorine levels periodically. Mostpools require less chlorine during cold weather and the desired output % setting shouldbe lowered accordingly.

Maintaining the Aqua Rite Pro SystemTo maintain maximum performance, it is recommended that you open and visually in-spect the cell every 3 months or after cleaning your filter. The Aqua Rite Pro will remindyou to do this by displaying the message “Inspect/Clean Cell” after approximately 500hours of operation.

The Aqua Rite Pro electrolytic cell has a self cleaning feature incorporated into theelectronic control’s logic. In most cases this self cleaning action will keep the cellworking at optimum efficiency. In areas where water is hard (high mineral content) andin pools where the water chemistry has been allowed to get "out of balance", the cellmay require periodic cleaning.

Servicing and Cleaning the Aqua Rite Pro CellTurn off power to the Aqua Rite Pro before removing the electrolytic cell. Once re-moved, look inside the cell and inspect for scale formation (light colored crusty or flakydeposits) on the plates and for any debris which has passed through the filter andcaught on the plates. If no deposits are visible, reinstall. If deposits are seen, use a highpressure garden hose and try to flush the scale off. If this is not successful, use a plasticor wood tool (do not use metal as this will scratch the coating off the plates) and scrapedeposits off of plates. Note that a buildup on the cell indicates that there is an unusuallyhigh calcium level in the pool (old pool water is usually the cause). If this is notcorrected, you may to have to periodically clean the cell. The simplest way to avoid thisis to bring the pool chemistry to the recommended levels as specified.

Mild Acid Washing: Use only in severe cases where flushing and scraping will notremove the majority of deposits. To acid wash, turn off power to Aqua Rite Pro. Removecell 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 eyeprotection. The level of the solution in the container should just reach the top of the cellso that the wire harness compartment is NOT submerged. It may be helpful to coil thewiring before immersing the cell. The cell should soak for a few minutes and then rinsewith a high pressure garden hose. If any deposits are still visible, repeat soaking andrinsing. Replace cell and inspect again periodically.

WinterizingThe Aqua Rite Pro 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 experiencesevere or extended periods of freezing temperatures, be sure to drain all water from thepump, filter, and supply and return lines before any freezing conditions occur. Theelectronic control is capable of withstanding any winter weather and should not beremoved.

Spring Start-upDO NOT turn the Aqua Rite Pro on, until the pool water chemistry has been brought tothe proper levels. This information can be found on page 2.

The Aqua Rite Pro periodically reverses the polarity of the voltageapplied to the cell in order to automatically clean off any calciumdeposits that may have built up on the cell. It is important that youcheck the chlorinator operation in both polarities. To do this, presseither the “+” or “-“ buttons and the chlorinator will turn off, wait for15 seconds and then turn on in the opposite polarity.

Salt Level3200 PPM


This is the average "Salt Level" in the pool. This value is calculatedover time and minimizes the effects of spikes or dips that may naturallyoccur.

Instant Salt3200 PPM (+=save) Move to previous/next menu item

Press to load the “Instant Salt” into the averaged salt display

The “Instant Salt” is calculated based on the voltage, current (amps),and water temperature at the cell at that instant. There are a number ofreasons why instant and average salt readings may differ. Some ofthese include salt having just been added to the pool and not yetthoroughly mixed, calcium buildup on the cell, and cell aging.

Press the "+" button to enter the instant salt value into the averagesalt level. The average salt level will use this new value for itscalculations.

OperationAssuming that the water chemical levels are in the recommended range, there arethree factors that you can control which directly contribute to the amount of chlo-rine the Aqua Rite Pro will generate:

1. filter run time each day (hours)2. the desired output % setting or ORP setting (when using AQL-CHEM)3. the amount of salt in the pool

The filter pump timer should be set so that entire volume of pool water passesthrough the filter each day. For pools with high chlorine demand, the timer mayhave to be set longer to generate enough chlorine.

If optional AQL-CHEM sensing is NOT used. To find the optimum desired output% setting, start at approximately 50%. Test the chlorine level every few days andadjust the setting up or down accordingly. It usually takes 2-3 adjustments to findthe ideal setting for your pool/spa and after that, it should only take minor, infre-quent adjustments. Because the chlorine demand of the pool increases with tem-perature, most people find they have to adjust the desired output up at the peak ofthe summer and down during the colder periods.

NOTE: After the ideal setting has been found, you may need to raise the settingwhen the pool water temperature increases significantly, when there is higher thannormal bather load or when your chlorinator cell ages. You may need to lower thesetting when the pool water temperature decreases significantly or there are longperiods of inactivity.

Thisdisplay shows both pH and ORP levels/status when chemistry sensingis enabled via the Chemistry Configuration Wizard (requires the useof AQL-CHEM Sensing Kit). The Aqua Rite Pro will refer to theselevels to determine how much chlorine to generate (ORP) and howmuch CO2 or acid to dispense (pH). Refer to the AQL-CHEM manualfor specific information about these levels as well as the recommendedranges.

+/- 23.45V is the voltage applied to the chlorinator cell+/-6.75A is the current (amps) through the cell84ºF is the water temperature at the cell3200PPM is the “instant” salt level at this time

For the chlorinator to be operating, several conditions must exist: thefilter pump must be running, the flow switch must be detecting flow,the chlorinator setting must be set greater than 0%, the watertemperature at the cell must be between 50ºF and 140ºF, and the saltlevel must be within the operating range. If any of these conditionsare not met, the chlorinator diagnostic display will tell you the reason.It’s possible to have more than one reason, in which case after yourectify what was displayed the first time, a second display will appear.

If the current (amps) display is 0.00A, then the chlorinator is operatingnormally but is in the off part of its normal operating cycle. Simplypress either the “+” or “-“ key to start a new cycle.

The Aqua Rite Pro automatically stops generating when the pool water temperaturesdrops below 50ºF. This is usually not a problem because bacteria and algae stop grow-ing at this temperature. You can override this low temperature cutoff by using the SuperChlorinate function for a day.

Prevent overchlorination during cold weather: Check chlorine levels periodically. Mostpools require less chlorine during cold weather and the desired output % setting shouldbe lowered accordingly.

Maintaining the Aqua Rite Pro SystemTo maintain maximum performance, it is recommended that you open and visually in-spect the cell every 3 months or after cleaning your filter. The Aqua Rite Pro will remindyou to do this by displaying the message “Inspect/Clean Cell” after approximately 500hours of operation.

The Aqua Rite Pro electrolytic cell has a self cleaning feature incorporated into theelectronic control’s logic. In most cases this self cleaning action will keep the cellworking at optimum efficiency. In areas where water is hard (high mineral content) andin pools where the water chemistry has been allowed to get "out of balance", the cellmay require periodic cleaning.

Servicing and Cleaning the Aqua Rite Pro CellTurn off power to the Aqua Rite Pro before removing the electrolytic cell. Once re-moved, look inside the cell and inspect for scale formation (light colored crusty or flakydeposits) on the plates and for any debris which has passed through the filter andcaught on the plates. If no deposits are visible, reinstall. If deposits are seen, use a highpressure garden hose and try to flush the scale off. If this is not successful, use a plasticor wood tool (do not use metal as this will scratch the coating off the plates) and scrapedeposits off of plates. Note that a buildup on the cell indicates that there is an unusuallyhigh calcium level in the pool (old pool water is usually the cause). If this is notcorrected, you may to have to periodically clean the cell. The simplest way to avoid thisis to bring the pool chemistry to the recommended levels as specified.

Mild Acid Washing: Use only in severe cases where flushing and scraping will notremove the majority of deposits. To acid wash, turn off power to Aqua Rite Pro. Removecell 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 eyeprotection. The level of the solution in the container should just reach the top of the cellso that the wire harness compartment is NOT submerged. It may be helpful to coil thewiring before immersing the cell. The cell should soak for a few minutes and then rinsewith a high pressure garden hose. If any deposits are still visible, repeat soaking andrinsing. Replace cell and inspect again periodically.

WinterizingThe Aqua Rite Pro 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 experiencesevere or extended periods of freezing temperatures, be sure to drain all water from thepump, filter, and supply and return lines before any freezing conditions occur. Theelectronic control is capable of withstanding any winter weather and should not beremoved.

Spring Start-upDO NOT turn the Aqua Rite Pro on, until the pool water chemistry has been brought tothe proper levels. This information can be found on page 2.

RUN/STOP: The Aqua Rite Pro will toggle back and forth between RUN and STOPwith each push of the RUN/STOP button.

RUN: When in RUN mode, the Aqua Rite Pro will produce chlorine according to thedesired output % or ORP setting (when AQL-CHEM is used) for the entire filtering/pumping cycle. The Aqua Rite Pro can only produce chlorine when RUN is selectedand the filter pump is running.

STOP: When in STOP mode, the Aqua Rite Pro is prevented from energizing theelectrolytic cell. In this position there is no chlorine generation. NOTE: To serviceany of the pool equipment or the Aqua Rite Pro, the power must be turned off at thecircuit breaker.

SUPER CHLORINATE: (if optional AQL-CHEM sensing is NOT used) When youhave an abnormally high bather load, a large amount of rain, a cloudy water condi-tion, or any other condition which needs a large amount of purification to be intro-duced, SUPER CHLORINATE should be selected. This electronically “super chlori-nates” (shocks) the water for a user selectable period of 1-96 hours (filter pump mustbe on during this time) or until the power has been turned off, whichever comes first.The Aqua Rite Pro will automatically revert back to the previous desired output %setting at the end of the super chlorinate period.

CHECK SYSTEM: When Check System is illuminated, an error has occurred thatrequires attention. Refer to the Troubleshooting section of this manual for possibleerrors and solutions.

INSTALLATIONInstallation must be performed in accordance with Local and NEC codes.

Preparing Pool/Spa WaterRefer to page 2 for recommended chemical levels. The pool's chemistry must be bal-anced BEFORE activating the Aqua Rite Pro. NOTE: If the pool does not have newwater, add 1 quart (1 liter) of metal remover and 1 quart (1 liter) of non-copper basedalgaecide to the pool, per manufacturer's instructions. This ensures a quick, troublefreetransfer to the Aqua Rite Pro system.

Mounting the Aqua Rite Pro ControlThe Aqua Rite Pro is contained in a raintight enclosure that is suitable for outdoormounting. The control must be mounted a minimum of 5 ft. (1.5 meters) horizontaldistance (or more, if local codes require) from the pool/spa.

The control is designed to mount horizontally on a flat surface with the knockoutsfacing downward. Because the enclosure also acts as a heat sink (disperses heat frominside the box), it is important not to block the four sides of the control. Do not mountAqua Rite Pro inside a panel or tight enclosed area.

If an AQL-CHEM kit will be used, take into consideration the space necessary formounting the unit as well as running the plumbing lines from the AQL-CHEM's probecell to the pool plumbing. Refer to the AQL-CHEM manual for specific mounting in-structions.

PlumbingEnsure that the Aqua Rite Pro installation does not constitute a cross connection withthe local potable water supply. Consult local plumbing codes.

The Aqua Rite Pro is packaged with a flow switch and cell unions. The cell must bepurchased separately. Refer to page 1 for information about available chlorinator cells.

The flow switch and cell should be plumbed in the return line to the pool/spa. Thepreferred 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"(51mm) PVC pipe. Adapters (not included) can be used for systems with 1½" (38 mm)plumbing.

For proper plumbing, refer to the overview diagram on page 13. Alternate configura-tions #1 shows the flow switch can also be in front of the cell. Configurations #2 and #3allow for chlorination of both the pool and spa during spa spillover operation, butprevent overchlorination of the spa during "spa only" operation. Never use configura-tion #4.

Flow Switch: IMPORTANT: There must be at least a 12" (25cm) straight pipe runbefore (upstream) the flow switch. If the switch is plumbed after thecell, the cell can by counted as the 12" (25cm) of straight pipe. Toensure proper operation, verify that the arrow on the flow switch(located on top of gray hex) points in the direction of water flow.

Bottom of Aqua Rite Pro Enclosure

Electrolytic Cell: Install using the unions provided. Tighten unions BY HAND for awatertight seal. For pool/spa combination systems with spillover,use configurations #2 or #3 above to allow chlorination of both thepool and spa during spillover but preventing overchlorination whenoperating the spa only.

WiringPower must be shut off at the circuit breaker before performing any wiring. Be sure tofollow Local and NEC electrical codes. To provide safe operation, the Aqua Rite Promust be properly grounded and bonded.

Input Power:Wire the Aqua Rite Pro to the LOAD SIDE of the filter pump timer. It is very importantthat the Aqua Rite Pro is powered only when the pump is running. Note that this circuitmust be protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Breaker (GFCB).

Refer to the wiring label on the Aqua Rite Pro as well as the diagram below to determinecorrect wiring connections. The Aqua Rite Pro is shipped from the factory with theconfiguration jumpers in 240VAC position. If using 120VAC, move the jumpers asshown below. IMPORTANT: If a dispensing device will be used (page 17), it must bepowered by the same input voltage as the Aqua Rite Pro.

For Canadian models, the Aqua Rite Pro shall be connected to a circuit protected by aclass A ground fault interrupter. Be sure to connect the ground wire to the green groundscrew terminal located on the bottom of the enclosure.

Bonding:A lug used for bonding is attached to the bottom of the Aqua Rite Pro enclosure (twolugs are provided for Canadian models). The Aqua Rite Pro must be bonded with an 8AWG copper wire (6 AWG Canada) to the pool bonding system. Refer to the diagrambelow.

Salt LevelUse the chart on page 4 to determine how much salt in pounds or (Kgs) need to be addedto 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 beingoptimal. If the level is low, determine the number of gallons in the pool and add saltaccording to the chart on page 4. A low salt level will reduce the efficiency of the AquaRite Pro and result in low chlorine production. A high salt level can cause the Aqua RitePro to shutdown and may begin to give a salty taste to your pool (generally, the salt willbegin to be tasted at a level of about 3500-4000 ppm). The salt in your pool/spa isconstantly recycled and the loss of salt throughout the swimming season should besmall. 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 UseIt is important to use only sodium chloride (NaCl) salt that is greater than 99% pure. Thisis common food quality or water softener salt and is usually available in 40-80 lb. bagslabeled "Coarse 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, salt with yellowprussiate of soda, salt with anti-caking additives, or iodized salt.

How to Add or Remove SaltFor 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 aroundto speed up the dissolving process--do not allow salt to pile up on the bottom of thepool. Run the filter pump for 24 hours with the suction coming from the main drain (usepool vac if there is no main drain) to allow the salt to evenly disperse throughout thepool. 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 withfresh water.

Always check stabilizer (cyanuric acid), when checking salt. These levels will mostlikely decline together. Use the chart on page 5 to determine how much stabilizer mustbe added to raise the level to 80 ppm.

Electrolytic Cell and Flow Switch:The electrolytic cell and flow switch cables are terminated with connectors which pluginto the Aqua Rite Pro for easy attachment and removal. The door of the Aqua Rite Promust be open and the front panel removed to access the cell cable and flow switchconnectors. Route the flow switch cable through one of the knockouts. A cutout in theenclosure is provided for the cell cable. The diagram below shows the location of theseconnections.

Water ChemistryThe table below summarizes the levels that are recommended by The Association ofPool and Spa Professionals (APSP). The only special requirements for the Aqua RitePro are the salt level and stabilizer. It is important to maintain these levels in order toprevent corrosion or scaling and to ensure maximum enjoyment of the pool. Test yourwater periodically. Your authorized Aqua Rite Pro dealer or most pool stores can provideyou with the chemicals and procedures to adjust the water chemistry. Be sure to tell thepool store that you are using an Aqua Rite Pro chlorine generator.

Saturation indexThe saturation index (Si) relates to the calcium and alkalinity in the water and is anindicator 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 intothe water. If the Si is above +0.2, scaling and staining will occur. Use the chart below todetermine the saturation index.

Hayward/Goldline Aqua Rite ChlorinatorThe Aqua Rite Pro can control one or more Hayward/Goldline Aqua Rite chlorinatorswhen additional sanitizing capacity is required. A 4 wire connection is used to commu-nicate to the Aqua Rite(s) and can be wired up to 500' apart. Any outdoor rated 4conductor cable can be used. Refer to the wiring diagram below and on the followingpage for proper wiring connection to the Aqua Rite. NOTE: There must be only 1"primary" unit. All other Aqua Rite units must be configured as "secondary".

The Aqua Rite(s) power input must be wired to the LOAD SIDE of the filter pump timer(the same as the Aqua Rite Pro).

Optional pH Dispense WiringRequires the use of a Hayward/Goldline AQL-CHEM sensing device and an AQL-CHEM2, AQL-CHEM2-240 or other pH dispensing device requiring 120VAC or240VAC on/off control. A screw terminal block located on the enclosure surface belowthe transformer is provided for connection to an AQL-CHEM2, AQL-CHEM2-240 orother pH related dispensing device (peristaltic pumps, solenoid valves, etc.). Afterproperly installing and configuring the AQL-CHEM and the pH dispensing device, theAqua Rite Pro will turn on the dispensing device when pH correction is required.

IMPORTANT: The dispensing device must be powered by the same voltage used topower the Aqua Rite Pro. Configure the output voltage to the pH device by moving thewiring connections on the mainboard as shown on page 18.

Example: If an AQL-CHEM2-240 (240VAC) will be used, the Aqua Rite Pro must bepowered by 240VAC. Connect the 240VAC pigtail supplied with the AQL-CHEM to theAqua Rite Pro’s terminal block as shown in the diagram. The AQL-CHEM2-240 will thenplug into the pigtail’s 240VAC receptacle. Refer to the AQL-CHEM manual for moredetailed information.

OPERATIONThe Aqua Rite Pro is an automatic chlorine generation system for pool or spa sanitiza-tion. The operation requires a low concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the poolwater. These levels are low enough that it normally will not be tasted. The Aqua Rite Proautomatically sanitizes your pool by converting the salt into free chlorine which killsbacteria and algae in the pool. Chlorine will revert back to sodium chloride after killingbacteria. These reactions will continuously recycle virtually eliminating the need to addsanitizing chemicals to your pool. The only time you may need to add more salt to thepool is when water is replenished due to backwashing, draining, or splashing (notevaporation).

The Aqua Rite Pro is designed to handle the purification needs of most residentialswimming pools up to 40,000 gallons (150,000 liters), or the needs of most commercialpools up to 25,000 gallons (95,000 liters). Check local codes for other restrictions. Theactual amount of chlorination required to properly sanitize a pool varies due to batherload, rainfall, temperature, and the pool's cleanliness.

Aqua Rite Pro chlorine generators operating with software version 1.10 or later aredesigned to use one of 3 different chlorinator cells that are available from your autho-rized Hayward/Goldline dealer. These cells are not included with the Aqua Rite Pro andmust be purchased before installation. Choose the appropriate cell based on the size ofyour pool. The models are shown below:

T-CELL-15- for pools up to 40,000 gallonsT-CELL-9 - for pools up to 25,000 gallonsT-CELL-3 - for pools up to 15,000 gallons

Note that the installation and mounting requirements are the same for all models.

The Aqua Rite Pro can be used with the optional Hayward/Goldline AQL-CHEM toprovide a fully integrated chemistry solution for your pool. With the AQL-CHEMinstalled, the Aqua Rite Pro senses the pool's ORP and pH levels and automaticallygenerates the correct amount of chlorine to keep your pool properly sanitized. The AquaRite Pro can also control pH by introducing acid or CO2 into the pool using an AQL-CHEM2 (120V), AQL-CHEM2-240 (240V) or other dispensing device requiring 120VACor 240VAC on/off control. The Aqua Rite Pro and AQL-CHEM products offer the user acomplete automated system controlling both sanitization and pH balance.

NOTE: Hayward/Goldline does not recommend using the Aqua Rite Pro togenerate bromine.

NOTE: Before installing this product as part of a saline water purification system in apool or spa using natural stone for coping or for immediately adjacent patios/decking, aqualified stone installation specialist should be consulted regarding the appropriatetype, installation, sealant (if any) and maintenance of stone used around a saline poolwith electronic chlorine generator in your particular location and circumstances.

NOTE: The use of dry acid (sodium bisulfate) to adjust pool pH is discouraged espe-cially in arid regions where pool water is subject to excessive evaporation and is notcommonly diluted with fresh water. Dry acid can cause a buildup of by-products thatcan damage your chlorinator cell.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Check System IndicatorThe “CHECK SYSTEM” LED will alert you when the Aqua Rite Pro detects any of thefollowing conditions that are abnormal and require attention for optimal operation ofyour pool. Press “<“ or “>” to view all of the existing “Check System” conditions.

• Inspect Cell -- For optimum operation, you will need to inspect the Aqua Rite Prochlorinator cell approximately every 3 months and clean the cell if necessary. TheAqua Rite Pro will automatically remind you when it is time and display “Inspect Cell,+ to reset” as part of the rotating Default Menu. Clean the cell (see instructions, page12) and then press the “+” button during the “Inspect Cell” display to reset the timer.

• Low Salt/Minerals or Very Low Salt/Minerals -- When the salt is too low the AquaRite Pro will generate less chlorine and the life of the cell is degraded. Check the celland clean if necessary before adding salt.
