Introduction before you begin before installing the aqua logic system -determine that you have everything necessary to complete the installation -find a suitable mounting location for both the control center and remote keypad -plan and determine where components will be plumbed -plan wire runs and w...
Page 5: Plumbing Requirements
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 circu...

Page 7: Salt
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....

Pool sizing formula 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 accep...
Page 9: 2. Mounting The Equipment
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 des...

3. See “electrical wiring” (page 17) for instructions on running the cable from the aqua logic main unit to the remote display/keypad. Optional wireless remote display/keypad the aqua logic wireless remote display/keypad (goldline part number aql-remote-rf-ps-x) must be mounted indoors or in a weath...
Page 11: 3. Plumbing
3. Plumbing general pool equipment refer to the following guidelines and the diagram below. 1. Spa should be at or above the level of the pool. For raised spas: provide a means for the spa to overflow into the pool and install check valves in the spa return and the pool suction (see diagram) to prev...
Page 12: Turbo Cell
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 dia...
Page 13: 4. Electrical Wiring
4. Electrical wiring the aqua logic control center requires both high and low voltage connections. Low voltage connections will be made to actuators, sensors, remote keypad, etc. High voltage connections will be made to pumps, lights, etc., as well as providing direct input power to the control cent...
Page 14: Grounding and Bonding
Grounding and bonding connect a ground wire from the primary electrical panel to the aqua logic ground bus bar. Also ground each piece of high voltage (120 or 240vac) equipment that is connected to the aqua logic control relays or circuit breakers. The aqua logic should also be connected to the pool...

High voltage (120/240v) pool equipment all aqua logic relays are double pole (they make/break both “legs” of 240v circuits) and are rated at 3hp/30a at 240v (1½hp/30a at 120v). Refer to the diagram below for typical relay wiring: ! Warning: do not use the aqua logic to control an automatic pool cove...
Page 16: Low Voltage Wiring
Low voltage wiring valve actuators the aqua logic can control up to four 24v automatic valve actuators. Two of the valve outputs are dedicated to the pool/spa suction (valve2) and return (valve1) valves. Valve3 and valve4 are for general purpose use (solar, water feature, in-floor cleaner, etc.). Fo...
Page 17: Heater
Generic heaters 1. Wire heater to 120/240v power source per the instructions 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...

Temperature sensors the aqua logic utilizes 10k ohm thermistor type sensors. Two sensors (water temperature and air temperature) are included. If the aqua logic is being used to control a solar heating system, a third “solar” sensor will be required. The sensors are provided with a 12 ft. Cable. If ...

I f multiple remote display/keypads are installed: never connect more than 2 wires to any terminal block. Two remotes can be wired back to the aqua logic main unit or the second display/keypad (and third, if applicable) can be “daisy chained” with one display/keypad wired to the next. The maximum wi...
Page 22: 5. Configuration Setup
