This can be found at most pool stores in 40-80 lb. bags labeled "for use in swimming pools". Alternatively, use common food quality or water softener salt that is at least 99.0% pure. It is also acceptable to use water conditioning salt pellets, however, it will take longer for them to dissolve. Do not use rock salt, or salt with more than 1% of yellow prussiate of soda, salt with anti-caking additives, or iodized salt. How to Add Salt For new plaster pools, wait 10-14 days before adding salt to allow the plaster to cure. Turn the circulating pump on and add salt directly into the pool. Brush the salt around to speed up the dissolving process-do not allow salt to pile up on the bottom of the pool. Run the filter pump for 24 hours with the suction coming from the main drain (use pool vacuum if there is no main drain) to allow the salt to evenly disperse throughout the pool. The salt display may take 24 hours to respond to the change in salt concentration. Always check stabilizer (cyanuric acid), when checking salt. These levels will most likely decline together. Use the chart below to determine how much stabilizer must be added to raise the level to 80 ppm.

Mounting the Equipment Pro Logic Control Center The Pro 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 designed to mount vertically on a flat surface with the knockouts facing downward. Because the enclosure also acts as a heat sink (disperses heat from inside the box), it is important not to block the four sides of the control. Do not mount the Pro Logic inside a panel or tightly enclosed area. When selecting a location, note that the standard cables supplied with the Turbo Cell, flow switch, temperature sensors, and valve actuators (if applicable) are all 15 ft. (5m) long. 5 Group - the valve operates when the Group function is initiated and shuts off when the Group function is terminated. See valve3 Group section for operation information for the Group function. Super Chlorinate - The Super Chlorinate function can be assigned to any Aux, Lights or Valve button.

Interlock is not available with solar, group or super chlorinate. Valve3 Group The valve3 Group function allows the user to perform multiple tasks with a single push of the VALVE3 button. When setting up a Group function, refer to page 22 for specific programming information. There are two Group menus; the first menu determines how the group command will be initiated (Manual On/Off, Countdown Timer, or Timeclock) and the second menu selects the desired functions and their respective control parameters.

Pool Sizing Formula
Type of Salt to Use
It is important to use only sodium chloride (NaCl) salt that is greater than 99.0% pure.
This can be found at most
pool stores in 40-80 lb. bags labeled “for use in swimming pools”.
Alternatively, use common food quality or water
softener salt that is at least 99.0% pure.
It is also acceptable to use water conditioning salt pellets, however, it will
take longer for them to dissolve.
Do
not use rock salt, or salt with more than 1% of yellow prussiate of soda, salt
with anti-caking additives, or iodized salt.
How to Add Salt
For new plaster pools, wait 10-14 days before adding salt to allow the plaster to cure.
Turn the circulating pump
on and add salt directly into the pool.
Brush the salt around to speed up the dissolving process—do not allow salt
to pile up on the bottom of the pool.
Run the filter pump for 24 hours with the suction coming from the main drain
(use pool vacuum if there is no main drain) to allow the salt to evenly disperse throughout the pool.
The salt display
may take 24 hours to respond to the change in salt concentration.
Always check stabilizer (cyanuric acid), when checking salt.
These levels will most likely decline together.
Use the
chart below to determine how much stabilizer must be added to raise the level to 80 ppm.

Mounting the Equipment
Pro Logic Control Center
The Pro 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 designed to mount vertically on a flat surface with the knockouts facing downward.
Because the
enclosure also acts as a heat sink (disperses heat from inside the box), it is important not to block the four sides of
the control.
Do
not mount the Pro Logic inside a panel or tightly enclosed area.
When selecting a location, note that the standard cables supplied with the Turbo Cell, flow switch, temperature
sensors, and valve actuators (if applicable) are all 15 ft. (5m)
long.

Group
– the valve operates when the Group function is initiated and shuts off when the Group
function is terminated.
See valve3 Group section for operation information for the Group function.
Super Chlorinate
– The Super Chlorinate function can be assigned to any Aux, Lights or Valve
button.
This allows the user to simply hit a button to start a Super Chlorinate cycle, rather than using
the Settings Menu.
Note that only one button can me assigned to this function.
Valve3 Interlock
If “Enabled”, this feature will override the function (timeclock, manual on/off, countdown timer or in-
floor cleaner) selected above and turn the valve off whenever the filter pump is off or the pool/spa
suction/return valves are set to “spa only” or “spillover” operation.
Interlock is not available with
solar, group or super chlorinate.
Valve3 Group
The valve3 Group function allows the user to perform multiple tasks with a single push of the VALVE3
button. When setting up a Group function, refer to page 22 for specific programming information.
There are two Group menus; the first menu determines how the group command will be initiated
(Manual On/Off, Countdown Timer, or Timeclock) and the second menu selects the desired functions
and their respective control parameters.
When activating Group functions, be aware that the most recent Group function that is initiated will
override any previous Group function.
Valve3 External Input Interlock
When Valve3 External Input Interlock is enabled, the Valve3 output will be forced off when the external
input is active.
This will have precedence over freeze protection. Valve3 External Input Interlock is not
available for solar, group, and super chlorinate.
Valve3 Freeze Protection
This function protects the pool and plumbed equipment against freeze damage.
If Freeze Protection
is enabled and the AIR temperature falls sensor falls below the selected freeze protection temperature,
the Pro Logic will turn on the valve to allow circulation of the water.
IMPORTANT:
this only enables
operation of the valve3 output during freeze--see the “Filter Pump Config.” menu to enable freeze
protection for the main circulation system. Freeze protection is not available for group or super
chlorinate functions.
Valve3 Pump Speed
This is the speed of the pump when the Valve3 output is on.
The default selection is “Settings Menu”.
This is the speed of the pump that has been selected in the Settings Menu for normal filter operation.
If an alternate speed is desired when the Valve3 output is on, push “+” or “-” and select from “Filter
Lowest” to “Filter Highest” in 5% increments.
