NOTE: The use of dry acid (sodium bisulfate) to adjust pool pH is discouraged especially in arid regions where pool water is subject to excessive evaporation and is not commonly diluted with fresh water. Dry acid can cause a buildup of by-products that can damage your chlorinator cell. Installation Steps Details on each installation step are presented on the following pages: 1.

Wizard. This menu is used to perform functions relating to the AQL-CHEM ORP and pH sensing kit. pH Calibration Wizard, + to enter Push to access pH Calibration Wizard Move to previous/next menu item Use this Wizard to calibrate the AQL-CHEM's pH probe. This requires a manual pH test of the pool water using a dependable red phenol test kit. Clean Probe Wizard + to enter Push to access Clean Probe Wizard Move to previous/next menu item Use this Wizard to clean the AQL-CHEM's ORP and pH probes. The probes must be clean and free from oil, chemical deposits and contamination to function properly. Slow response, increased need to calibrate, and inconsistent readings are indications that the probes need to be cleaned. 6. System Startup and Checkout Before Startup Before starting the Aqua Plus for the first time, be sure that the following items have been completed: 1. Pool/spa chemicals are within the recommended levels according to the chart on page 2. 2. Pool/spa salt level is between 2700 - 3400 PPM. 3. Properly rated circuit breakers are installed in the Aqua Plus subpanel. 4. All wiring is performed according to NEC and local codes. 5. The Aqua Plus is properly grounded and bonded. 6.
