The Aqua Rite Pro periodically reverses the polarity of the voltage
applied to the cell in order to automatically clean off any calcium
deposits that may have built up on the cell. It is important that you
check the chlorinator operation in both polarities. To do this, press
either the “+” or “-“ buttons and the chlorinator will turn off, wait for
15 seconds and then turn on in the opposite polarity.
Salt Level
3200 PPM
No function
Move to previous/next menu item
This is the average "Salt Level" in the pool. This value is calculated
over time and minimizes the effects of spikes or dips that may naturally
occur.
Instant Salt
3200 PPM (+=save)
Move to previous/next menu item
Press to load the “Instant Salt” into the averaged salt display
The “Instant Salt” is calculated based on the voltage, current (amps),
and water temperature at the cell at that instant. There are a number of
reasons why instant and average salt readings may differ. Some of
these include salt having just been added to the pool and not yet
thoroughly mixed, calcium buildup on the cell, and cell aging.
Press the "+" button to enter the instant salt value into the average
salt level. The average salt level will use this new value for its
calculations.
Flow Switch
Flow
No function
Move to previous/next menu item
The current status of the flow switch is displayed. There is a short
delay when transitioning from flow to no-flow and a longer delay on
the transition from no-flow to flow. The delay time is displayed.

Press to reset
Move to previous/next menu item
For optimum operation, you will need to inspect the Aqua Rite Pro
chlorinator cell approximately every 3 months and clean the cell if
necessary. The Aqua Rite Pro will automatically remind you and display
“Inspect Cell, hold + to reset” as part of the rotating Information
Menu. Clean the cell and then press the “+” button during the “Inspect
Cell” display to reset the timer.

This function controls the backlight on the display. Select
between "Always On" and "On for 60 seconds". If “On for 60
seconds” option is selected, then the backlight will automatically
turn off 60 seconds after the last key is pressed and will stay off
until next time a key is pressed.

Operation
Assuming that the water chemical levels are in the recommended range, there are
three factors that you can control which directly contribute to the amount of chlo-
rine the Aqua Rite Pro will generate:
1. filter run time each day (hours)
2. the desired output % setting or ORP setting (when using AQL-CHEM)
3. the amount of salt in the pool
The filter pump timer should be set so that entire volume of pool water passes
through the filter each day. For pools with high chlorine demand, the timer may
have to be set longer to generate enough chlorine.
If optional AQL-CHEM sensing is NOT used. To find the optimum desired output
% setting, start at approximately 50%. Test the chlorine level every few days and
adjust the setting up or down accordingly. It usually takes 2-3 adjustments to find
the ideal setting for your pool/spa and after that, it should only take minor, infre-
quent adjustments. Because the chlorine demand of the pool increases with tem-
perature, most people find they have to adjust the desired output up at the peak of
the summer and down during the colder periods.
NOTE: After the ideal setting has been found, you may need to raise the setting
when the pool water temperature increases significantly, when there is higher than
normal bather load or when your chlorinator cell ages. You may need to lower the
setting when the pool water temperature decreases significantly or there are long
periods of inactivity.
