System Overview
The Hayward Aqua Plus is a multifunction pool controller used to fully manage your pool/spa system.
The Aqua
Plus can control pumps, valves, lighting, heaters, and chlorination.
Although the Aqua Plus is easy to use, it is
important to completely read through this operating manual before attempting to operate the control.
NOTE:
This manual assumes that the Aqua Plus has been wired and configured according to the Installation
Manual.
Aspects of the Aqua Plus that pertain to system setup are not covered in this manual.
Automation
The Aqua Plus can control up to 4 high voltage (120/240V) pieces of equipment, up to 3 automatic valve actua-
tors, and a conventional and solar heater.
Both manual and automatic (programmed) operation are available.
All
of the control functions can be programmed at a display/keypad which is part of the main unit (typically located
near the pool equipment) or at one or more remote display/keypads.
Chlorination
With the use of the included Turbo Cell and flow switch, the Aqua Plus is also an automatic chlorine generation
system for pool and/or spa sanitization.
When enabled (see Configuration Menu), this operation requires a low
concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the pool/spa water.
The Aqua Plus automatically converts the salt into
free chlorine which kills bacteria and algae in the pool/spa.
Chlorine will revert back to sodium chloride after killing
bacteria.
These reactions will continuously recycle, virtually eliminating the need to add sanitizing chemicals to your
pool/spa.
The only time you may need to add more salt to the pool/spa is when water is replenished due to
backwashing, draining, or splashing (not evaporation).
