Plumbing Requirements
The only special plumbing requirements for the Aqua 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.
The Aqua 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 the Aqua Logic. Then install appropriate circuit breakers and wire the pool equipment through the Aqua Logic relays. If desired, an external subpanel can be used.
The Aqua Logic control circuit requires 120VAC power. A utility receptacle (not included) can be mounted in the side of the Aqua Logic box to provide 120VAC power if desired.

1. Preparing Pool/Spa Water
General Water Chemistry
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 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 the Aqua 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 the Aqua Logic system.
Salt
Salt Level
Use the chart below to determine how much salt in pounds or (Kgs) should be added to reach the recommended 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 on page below. A low salt level will reduce the efficiency of the sanitization and result in low chlorine production. A high salt level can cause the
Aqua 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 throughout the pool. The salt display may take 24 hours to respond to the change in salt concentration.
Always check stabilizer (cyanuric acid), when checking salt. These levels will most likely decline together.
Use the chart below to determine how much stabilizer must be added to raise the level to 80 ppm.

2. Mounting the Equipment
Aqua Logic Control Center
The Aqua 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 Aqua Logic inside a panel or tight enclosed area.
When selecting a location, note that the standard cables supplied with the Turbo Cell, flow switch, temperature 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. Mount the sensor (screw not included) 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
(20 AWG) if necessary.
Optional Remote Display/Keypad
The Aqua Logic Remote Display/Keypad must be mounted indoors or in a weather protected area (rain should never hit the display/keypad). Up to 3 remote display/keypads (1 supplied with Aqua Logic, order additional remote display/keypads separately) can be installed. The display/keypad is designed to mount onto a standard electrical utility box (ideal for new construction) or can be mounted directly onto any wall surface. When selecting a location, note that the wire to the Aqua Logic main unit must be less than 500’ long. Follow the steps below:
1. Remove 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).

Remote Keypad push up here to remove cover
3. See “Electrical Wiring” (page 16) for instructions on running the cable from the Aqua Logic main unit to the remote display/keypad.
Optional Valve Actuators
For actuators supplied with the Aqua 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 Equipment
Refer to these guidelines and the diagram below.
1. Spa should be at or above the level of the pool. If spa is attached to pool, provide a means for spa to overflow into the pool. 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 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 output) and/or a solar booster pump (connected to an Aqua Logic
Aux output).
8. The plumbing diagram below is intended to be used as a general guideline and is not a complete plumbing schematic for the pool. The diagram shows more equipment than can be controlled with an

Turbo Cell
The Turbo Cell (used for chlorine generation) should be plumbed AFTER 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:
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 BY HAND 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 the Aqua Logic starts to generate chlorine. Failure to properly install the flow switch can result in explosive gases accumulating in the pool plumbing system.
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.

Although the AQ-LOGIC-P4 is intended primarily for pool-only or spa-only systems, it does include the valve outputs and control logic to operate pool/spa combo systems. The valve actuators must be ordered separately. The AQ-LOGIC-PS-4 and AQ-LOGIC-PS-8 have some enhanced features for pool/spa combo systems.
Low Voltage Wiring
Valve Actuators
The Aqua Logic can control up to three 24V automatic valve actuators. Two of the valve outputs are dedicated to the pool/spa suction and return valves. The third valve is for general purpose use (solar, water feature, in-floor cleaner, etc.).
For installations with solar heating, Goldline offers the AQ-SOL-KIT-xx solar kit that contains a valve, actuator, and extra temperature sensor. The “xx” indicates the valve type:
-1P 1.5” Positive Seal
-2P 2” Postive Seal
-2NP 2” Non-Positive Seal
The Aqua 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
The Aqua 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 instruction 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 information on the following pages for more details on the connection to several popular heaters.
1. Wire heater to 120/240V power source per the instruction in the heater manual. The Aqua Logic does
NOT control the power going to the heater.
2. Wire the Aqua Logic dry contact heater output per the diagram below. Many internal parts of the heater can get very hot--see the heater manufacturer’s recommendations on the minimum temperature rating for wires. If no guidance is given, use 105°C rated wire.
3. Set any ON/OFF switch on the heater to ON.
4. Set the thermostat(s) on the heater to the maximum (hottest) setting.

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 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 if heat is still available. When heat is no longer available, both the valve/pump and filter pump will turn off simultaneously. 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 22). If the solar is operated by a pump, then either the AUX1 or AUX2 relay must be set up for solar logic (page 21).
19
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.

Aqua Logic. Pressing the POOL/SPA button on the display/key pad will allow the homeowner 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, the Aqua Logic will automatically switch the pool/spa suction valves to the “spillover” at the time 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.
20
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.

Aux1 Function (Aux2 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 the aux 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. This function is typically used to control spa jets where they can be turned on with the press of a button and then they will turn off automatically at a later time.
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).
21
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 (Aux2 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 (Aux2 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, the Aqua 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.

Valve3 Function
Timeclock – the valve turns on/off at the times set for the Valve3 timeclock in the Timers
Menu (see Operations Manual).
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.
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.
22
Valve3 Freeze Protection
This function protects the pool and plumbed equipment against freeze damage. If Freeze
Protection is enabled and the AIR temperature falls sensor falls below 38°F, the Aqua 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 freeze protection for the main circulation system.

Heater Checkout
Follow these instructions to verify that the Aqua Logic is properly controlling the heater.
1. Check that the Aqua 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 heater is running. If not, then check:
• Power is supplied to the heater.
• The Aqua 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)
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.
24
• The display will periodically indicate that the filter pump is on for heater cooldown and show the minutes remaining
• 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 the Aqua 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 keypad (main or remote). 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 will turn outputs off, but will not turn any output on.
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.

Frequently asked questions
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”.
You should check the salt level in your pool at least once a month, or more often if you are adding a lot of fresh water to the pool.
The operating salt level is between 2700-3400 PPM (parts per million) with 3200 PPM being optimal.
If the salt level in your pool is too high, you can dilute it by adding fresh water to the pool.
If the salt level in your pool is too low, you will need to add more salt.
