HYDRAULICS

a. Hydraulics Layout

Pool/Spa configuration

These systems use a single filter pump and filter. Pool or spa operation is controlled by two 3-way valves (suction and return). In Pool/Spa Configuration, select: Pool/Spa Setup

Pool and Spa

i. The Aquamaster can be programmed to accommodate spa spillover, if desired.

ii. A conventional heater (gas or heat pump) and solar can be used to heat both the pool and the spa.

iii. If a chlorinator cell is plumbed prior to the pool/spa return valve, then both the pool and the spa may be chlorinated.

iv. The pool water temperature sensor should be installed prior to any heater or solar and will display either the pool or the spa temperature, depending on the current operation of the pool. v. Note:- The temperature will only be displayed when the filter pump is running.

vi. If any water feature or pressure side cleaner boost pumps are used, be sure to enable the

“interlock” feature to ensure that the pumps operate only when the filter pump is on and the system is in the “pool only” operating mode. The interlock feature ensures the filtration pump is operating prior to allowing another system component to operate. vii. The plumbing diagram below is intended to be used as a general guideline and is not a complete plumbing schematic for the pool.

viii. We recommend the air sensor be installed for user convenience and for the freeze protection feature for the filter, valves or aux outputs.

INSTALLING EQUIPMENT

a. Aquamaster Control Enclosure

Install the Aquamaster control enclosure in a protected location out of direct sunlight. At top rear of the control panel locate two keyhole fixing points. Mount two pan head type screws at 216mm centres using a spirit level on an adequately stable vertical surface. Align the screw heads with the keyhole fixing points and allow the enclosure to slide down on the screws.

To access the Aquamaster for connection of cabling and sensors locate the front panel of

Aquamaster and screw well in each corner. To open the panel, insert a flat blade screw driver and half turn anti-clock wise to release the spring loaded locking pin. Ensure the pins are fully released prior to opening the hinged front panel.

b. LCD Control Panel

Indoor Installation

The LCD Control Panel is suitable for indoor mounting. The back plate of the LCD Control Panel is removable and is easily mounted utilising methods similar to installing a standard Australian wall switch plate with mounting centers of 76mm.

Outdoor Installation

The LCD Panel is able to be mounted outdoors within a suitably rated weatherproof enclosure.

c. Temperature Sensors

The Aquamaster has a number of sensors for pool, roof and air temperature monitoring.

Waterco Aquamaster

I pg 07

Pool Sensor:

a) The pool water temperature sensor should be installed prior to any heater or solar and will display either the pool or the spa temperature, depending on the current operation of the pool. b) Immediately after the filter drill a 9.5mm hole in the side of the line as shown in the image below.

Insert the special plug into the hole and rotate home. c) Insert the sensor holder by pushing into the plug fully up to the head. This is a tight fit to ensure sealing. Lubricate with soap if necessary but do not use mineral oil or grease.

d) Strap lead firmly to pipe to prevent any strain on the sensor holder or lead entry.

e) The sensor should not be installed on top of any pipe work coming from the pump as it is exposed to sunlight and accidental physical damage may occur. It should be installed on an inside elbow of the pipe work (as shown). This will eliminate heating of the sensor by sunlight – giving inaccurate readings, and also minimise the risk of damaging the sensor by pool users.

Incorrect Position

Correct Position

Pool Sensor Installation

Roof Sensor (required if a solar heating system is installed):

a) If the sensor lead is to be concealed, e.g. underground, make sure it is run through a conduit to ensure easy removal if service is required.

b) To take cable to the roof it should be tied off neatly with electrician’s cable ties to one of the solar pipes.

c) The roof sensor is supplied housed in a probe holder. This holder should be fixed to the roof in a small pad of adhesive the same angle as the solar absorber. This is to ensure the sensor will measure the actual roof temperature and the reading will be unaffected by the cooler pool water when the solar system turns on. d) The sensor must always be located so it is in the sun at the same time as the solar absorber array; otherwise incorrect readings will be made. This can happen when parts of the absorber are in the shade, and the sensor is still receiving full sunlight. e) The sensor should be located at least 600mm from the top of the roof to eliminate any wind chill factor, 1m from the sides of the roof, and at least 500mm from the solar absorber array to read a constant accurate roof temperature.

Keep the adhesive clear of the cable and also from the top of the holder to facilitate the removal of the probe holder if it should require future service. Suitably clip the lead along its run, to prevent any strain to the sensor holder.

Correct Sensor Position

Incorrect Sensor Position

Sensor orientation on curved tiles (front view)

Sensor should be pointing up the roof and secure with silicone on the plastic body only

Sensor orientation

(side view)

The sensor should be orientated such that it lies on the crest of the roof tiles and not in the troughs.

This eliminates water being trapped in the silicon glue that holds the sensor in place, and giving erroneous readings. The roof sensor should also be positioned so that it points up the roof tiles (as shown above).

Air Sensor

Mount the air sensor outdoors and out of direct sunlight.

d. Valve Actuators

The Aquamaster system is optimized to operate Waterco FPI valve actuators and should be installed in consultation with the product installation and operating instructions.

e. Flocheck Valve (optional)

Waterco Aquamaster

I pg 09

Waterco recommend the Aquamaster system is fitted with the optional Waterco Flocheck valve and should be installed in consultation with the product installation and operating instructions.

FUNCTIONS

The Waterco Flocheck valve has a number of essential functions:

1. As a normal pre-loaded check valve to prevent pool water backwashing the filter on shutoff or drain down.

2. As a pump protection device for when there is no filter water flow. Power is switched off by the solar controller through integration with the Flocheck valve, stopping the pump immediately.

3. As a warning device to highlight the water flow below recommended levels for solar pool system operation.

4. As an adjustable flow switch which can be tailored to the customer’s requirements.

INSTALLATION

1. The ‘Flocheck’ valve should be placed at the end of a straight length of pipe at least 500mm long and before the integrated take-off point. Mounting the valve in this position assumes the water flow is not turbulent at the point of sensing. This is important in order to avoid multiple starts of the boost pump / integrated pump.

2. The valve can be installed in horizontal or vertical pipe. The probe stem should be upright if installation is in the horizontal position for correct action.

3. The valve must be fitted to the direction of the water flow as indicated on the valve body.

4. WARNING: when gluing into the line, use cement sparingly so flap is not inadvertently glued in the closed or open position.

5. Remove small bridging plug from the socket of the controller (if present). Push in the plug of the

‘Flocheck’ valve to the controller.

WARNING: The sensing switch in the unit is rated in milliamps NOT AMPS and will not directly switch 240 VAC power.

FLOW SENSING

PRE-SET THRESHOLD FLOW

The valve has a factory setting ‘switch-on’ threshold water flow of 60 litre/min and ‘switch-off’ (30 l/min) threshold point. To change the threshold point the following procedure is to be performed.

(a) Holding the sensing stem to prevent movement, slightly loosen the knurled lockseal nut.

(b) Slide the sensing stem to the new position required to accept the water flow characteristics of that particular filter system. The threshold flow is increased by pulling the sensing stem further out from the body and conversely decreased by pushing the stem into the body.

(c) Lock the stem into position with the knurled lock seal nut.

(d) Check correct operation of the flow switch. With the integrated pump operating, stop and start the filter system several times.

If the pump continues to operate when there is no water flow, check the functionality of the hinged valve inside the unit for correct operation and debris.

WARNING: when gluing into the line, use cement sparingly so flap is not inadvertently glued in the closed or open position.

Remove small bridging plug from the socket of the controller (if present).

Push in the plug of the ‘Flocheck’ valve to the controller.

WARNING: the switch in the unit is only rated in milliamps NOT AMPS and will not directly switch to 240 VAC power. Unit is to be connected to the terminal provided in the Aquamaster.

ELECTRICAL

Ensure power is disconnected prior to wiring Aquamaster.

• Follow all statutory and local wiring and installation regulations

• Use copper conductors only

The Aquamaster requires both high and low voltage connections.

To gain access to the wiring compartment, insert a flat blade screw driver and half turn anti-clock wise to release the spring loaded locking pin in each corner. Ensure the pins are fully released prior to opening the hinged front panel. The hinged panel may be removed by lifting it upwards from the hinge pins. All connections will be made to the printed circuit board

(PCB) inside the control box. These connections include mains supply, hard wired inputs and outputs, actuators, sensors and dry contacts for heater control. When cabling is wired into the

Aquamaster Control Enclosure all cable entry points must be sealed to prevent ingress of moisture.

Aquamaster Control PCB layout

Waterco Aquamaster

I pg 11

Aquamaster Control PCB image

System Earthing

An earth terminal is located within the compartment of the Aquamaster. Connect an earth wire from the primary electrical supply to the earth terminal.

Input Power Wiring

The Aquamaster requires 240VAC, 40amp maximum input power to operate the control logic circuits, low voltage devices and hard wired socket outlets. This power must be supplied from a maximum 40amp circuit breaker with earth leakage protection in accordance with the wiring rules. It is recommended surge protection be fitted in areas of unreliable power supply or prone to lightening strikes.

The mains power cables should utilize the threaded cable entry point provided on the bottom plate right hand side of the enclosure to ensure electrical segregation between low voltage and extra low voltage cabling.

Waterco Aquamaster

I pg 13

Wiring 15amp switched relays

The Aquamaster features 2 x 15amp dry contact switching relays which may be used to operate equipment with an electrical rating of up to 15amps each. Ideally, a separate electrical supply with circuit breaker protection should be connected to each 15amp switching relay numbered 6 & 7 on the PCB.

These power cables should utilize the threaded cable entry points provided in the side of the enclosure to ensure electrical segregation between low voltage and extra low voltage cabling.

Flow Switch

The Flow switch connection plug must be inserted into the socket labelled FLOW SWITCH within the

Aquamaster Control Box to allow the system to operate correctly.

Temperature Sensors

The solar roof sensor (SOLAR SENSOR), pool water sensor (POOL/SPA SENSOR) and ambient air sensor (AIR SENSOR) must be inserted into the relevant socket within the Aquamaster Control

Box for the Aquamaster to operate correctly.

Spa Mode Output

The SPA MODE OUTPUT is a 24V dry contact which is activated when spa mode is enabled. This socket may be used on compatible equipment e.g. reducing the chlorination level to the spa whilst in spa mode. This feature is available on some brands of chlorinators.

The Aquamaster can be paired with a Hydrochlor salt water chlorinator which if connected, is able to drop the chlorination output level suitable for spa use.

Valve Actuators

The Aquamaster can control up to three automatic valve actuators. Two of the valve outputs are dedicated to the pool/spa suction (Valve1) and return (Valve2) valves. Valve

3 is for general purpose use for diverting water flow to solar, water feature or to an infloor cleaning system.

Step 2 – Lift the control housing off the pump to reveal the motor control box.

Step 3 – At the rear of the motor control box drill a 12mm hole at the position indicated in the drawing below. Use stepped drill bit sizes starting at 4mm and working up to 12mm, otherwise there is a high risk of damaging (splitting) motor control box.

Waterco Aquamaster

I pg 17

Heater Control

The Aquamaster provides a set of low voltage dry contacts (labeled NORMALLY OPEN CONTACTS 1 & 2) which may be connected to most gas heaters or heat pumps with 24V control circuits. Refer to the diagram above for connection to the Aquamaster Control system.

The manuals supplied with most heaters also include specific wiring instructions for connecting the heater to an external control. Any conventional heater to be controlled by Aquamaster should be set to maximum temperature.

Connection of Communication Cable to Waterco ECO Pumps

Waterco ECO pumps may be purchased with the communication cable fitted. Consult your local

Waterco sales office for order details.

Step 1 – Unscrew the 3 x Philips head screws holding the control housing to the motor.

Step 4 – When the hole is drilled remove the locking nut from the cable gland and thread the cable through the hole so that the plug is now located within the motor control box. Thread the lock nut over the cable and screw onto the cable gland and tighten.

Step 5 – Locate the motor control socket on the underside of the control housing and insert the control cable plug and then reattach control housing to the motor control housing.
