Installation Remove power to the pool filter pump before starting this installation. Installation must be performed in accordance with Local and NEC codes. The AQR100 can be powered by either 120 VAC or 240 VAC from the same circuit as the pool pump. Its 6 ft. power cord must be connected to power within a junction box. The Control Box must be mounted a minimum of 10 ft. horizontal distance (or more, if local codes require) from the pool and within 15 ft. from where the Cell will be installed. Take care to protect the Cell Cap connector pins while handling the AQR100 unit during installation. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

This must be done BEFORE activating the AQR100. Some adjustments to your pool chemistry may take several hours, so start the procedure well before you intend to operate the AQR100. To properly prepare your pool water for use with the AQR100, refer to the "Pool Chemistry" section on page 9 of this manual. Adding Salt: Add salt several hours or, if possible, 1 day prior to operating the AQR100. Take care not to exceed the recommended salt level. Measure salt 6-8 hours after adding to the pool. NOTE: If the pool does not have new water, add 1 quart (1 liter) of metal remover and 1 quart (1 liter) of non-copper based algaecide to the pool, per manufacturer's instructions. This ensures a quick, troublefree transfer to the AQR100 system. 3 USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS
