Hayward Pro Logic Model: PL-P-4 Operation - Page 11

The pool's chemistry must be balanced BEFORE activating the Pro Logic's optional chlorinator function. NOTE: If the pool does not have new water, add metal remover and non-copper based algaecide to the pool, per manufacturer's instructions. This ensures a quick, troublefree transfer to the Pro Logic system. Salt (When using optional chlorinator function) Salt Level Use the chart on the following page to determine how much salt in pounds or (Kgs) should be added to reach the recommended levels. Use the equations below (measurements are in feet/gallons and meters/liters) if pool size is unknown. Gallons (pool size in feet) Rectangular Length x Width x Average Depth x 7.5 Round Diameter x Diameter x Average Depth x 5.9 Oval Length x Width x Average Depth x 6.7 Liters (pool size in meters) Length x Width x Average Depth x 1000 Diameter x Diameter x Average Depth x 785 Length x Width x Average Depth x 893 The operating salt level is between 2700-3400 PPM (parts per million) with 3200 PPM being optimal. Before adding any salt, test the salt level. This is especially important for retrofit installation to older pools where chlorine added to the pool over time has ended up as salt. If the level is low, determine the number of gallons in the pool and add salt according to the chart below. A low salt level will reduce the efficiency of the sanitization and result in low chlorine production. A high salt level can cause the Pro Logic to stop chlorinating. The salt in your pool/spa is constantly recycled and the loss of salt throughout the swimming season should be minimal. This loss is due primarily to the addition of water because of splashing, backwashing, or draining (because of rain). Salt is not lost due to evaporation. 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 on page 29 to determine how much stabilizer must be added to raise the level to 80 ppm. 27 only if an output is configured for a variable speed pump VSP Speed Settings Push to access Variable Speed Pump Speed Settings + to enter Move to previous/next configuration menu only if Filter is Variable Speed Filter Speed 1 95% Set the desired Filter Speed 1 from the Filter Lowest to the Filter Highest Move to next menu item only if Pool and Spa and Filter is Variable Speed Spa Speed 50% Move to next menu item only if Aux2 is controlled by a variable speed pump Aux1 Speed Set the desired Aux1 Speed from 10% to 100% 95% Move to next menu item The Filter and up to 3 Lights and Aux outputs can be configured to control variable speed pumps. These settings allow you to select the desired speed of the variable speed pump for each output used. The speed can be displayed in % or RPM, whichever is selected in the Configuration Menu. When the Filter output is on, the actual speed of the pump(s) will be dependent on the minimum and maximum speeds set for that output in the Configuration Menu. Super Chlorinate Off Turn super chlorinate on or off Move to previous/next menu item This display only appears if the chlorinator function is enabled. If an AQL-CHEM is being used, super chlorinate will not be available if chemical sensing is enabled and ORP is in Auto Sensing (see AQLCHEM manual). When you have an unusually high bather load, a large amount of rain, a cloudy water condition, or any other condition that requires a large amount of chlorine to be introduced to the pool, activate the Pro Logic Super-Chlorinate function. The Pro Logic will turn on the filter pump, set the pool/spa valves to the correct position, and set the chlorine generator to maximum output. The superchlorinate function will continue for the programmed number of hours (see Timers/Super Chlorinate Hours below) overriding the normal filter pump timeclock settings. At the end of the super chlorinate period, the pool will return to normal operation. If you manually turn off the filter pump (using the FILTER button on any display/keypad), the super chlorinate function terminates. When you turn the filter pump back on, super chlorinate will resume for the balance of the programmed number of hours. Spa Chlorinator 3% Adjust the desired chlorinator output for spa (0,1,2,3...9,10,15,20...95,100%) Move to previous/next menu item This setting will appear only if the system has been setup for "chlorinator" and "spa only" or "pool and spa". If an AQL-CHEM is being used, super chlorinate will not be available if chemical sensing is enabled and ORP is in Auto Sensing (see AQL-CHEM manual). It will determine the chlorinator output when the system is operating in spa-only mode. The actual amount of chlorine introduced into the spa is determined by: this setting, the amount of time the pool operates in spa-only mode, the water temperature, and the amount of salt in the water. If the filter pump is running due to the freeze protection feature, then the chlorinator will not operate during this time. Pool Chlorinator 60% Adjust the desired chlorinator output for pool (0,1,2,3...9,10,15,20...95,100%) Move to previous/next menu item This setting will appear only if the system has been setup for "pool only" or "pool and spa". If an AQL-CHEM is being used, super chlorinate will not be available if chemical sensing is enabled and ORP is in Auto Sensing (see AQL-CHEM manual). It will determine the chlorinator output when the system is operating in pool-only or spa spillover modes. The actual amount of chlorine introduced into the pool is determined by: this setting, the amount of time the filter pump is running, the water temperature, and the amount of salt in the water. If the filter pump is running due to the freeze protection feature, then the chlorinator will not operate during this time. 8
