Description The AQL-CHEM-3 is an automatic acid dispensing system which utilizes a Stenner 45M Series acid pump and 15 gallon tank to lower the pH level in your swimming pool. When used with a Hayward AQL-CHEM ORP and pH Sensing Kit, the Hayward Aqua Rite Pro or Pro Logic pool control will measure the pool's pH and, if too high, automatically enable the AQL-CHEM-3 to dispense muriatic acid into the pool until the pH reaches the desired level.

Before You Begin
Compatibility
The AQL-CHEM-3-120 (120VAC) and AQL-CHEM-3-240 (240VAC) are compatible
with all Hayward Aqua Rite Pro and Pro Logic pool controls using an AQL-CHEM
Sense & Dispense system.
The AQL-CHEM-3 is not compatible with Aqua Rite or
Aqua Logic controls.
Description
The AQL-CHEM-3 is an automatic acid dispensing system which utilizes a Stenner
45M Series acid pump and 15 gallon tank to lower the pH level in your swimming pool.
When used with a Hayward AQL-CHEM ORP and pH Sensing Kit, the Hayward Aqua
Rite Pro or Pro Logic pool control will measure the pool's pH and, if too high, automati-
cally enable the AQL-CHEM-3 to dispense muriatic acid into the pool until the pH
reaches the desired level.
What's included
Ensure that the following contents have been included in the AQL-CHEM-3 box:
Stenner 45M Series acid pump and 15 gallon tank containing:
3 Connecting nuts
3 Ferrules
1 Weighted strainer (pre-installed)
1 20' Roll of suction/discharge tubing 1/4" UV black
1 Spare pump tube
1 Injection fitting (not used, may be discarded)
1 Mounting bracket (pre-installed)
1 Rain roof
1 Stenner Installation Manual
1 Flow Indicator
2 Injector Valves (short injector valve is not used and can be discarded)
1 Hose clamp
1 AQL-CHEM-3 Manual
Safety
Refer to the Stenner manual included with the dispenser for specific safety informa-
tion related to that product.
Because the AQL-CHEM-3 system uses muriatic acid,
refer to the additional information below:
Always use the proper dilution in the acid feed system (4:1 dilution of 20° Baume
hydrochloric acid 31.45% by weight or equivalent).
To prevent violent boiling and splashing, ALWAYS ADD ACID TO WATER;
never add water to acid to dilute it. Some use the rhyme “do as you oughta- add
acid to water”.
Strictly follow the acid vendor’s safety and handling protocols including hand,
body and eye protection when transferring or handling acid.
Fill the 15 gallon tank to the following levels:
5 gallons of 4:1 solution for pools up to 15,000 gallons of water
10 gallons of 4:1 solution for pools up to 30,000 gallons of water
15 gallons of 4:1 solution for pool above 30,000 gallons of water
This limits the available acid in the event that equipment malfunctions and emp-
ties the tank into the pool or spa.
