spa water will be filtered and sanitized. If "Pool Only" is selected, then the Aqua Plus 16v will switch the pool/spa valves to the "pool only" position at the start of the programmed pool filtering time period or when the super-chlorinate function is turned on. This may be desirable on some systems - Hayward Aqua Plus Controls plus Chlorination | Model: PL-PLUS-16V Operation - Page 23
due to no flow. When used with a Hayward flow switch, the Aqua Plus 16v monitors the state of water flow when the filter pump is on. If no flow is detected for more than 15 minutes, the Aqua Plus 16v will shut down the pool pump and the "Check System" LED will indicate an error.
