How to use: Measure pool pH, temperature, calcium hardness,
and total alkalinity. Use the chart above to determine Ti, Ci,and
Ai from your measurements. Insert values of pH, Ti, Ci and Ai
into the above equation. If Si equals .2 or more, scaling and
staining may occur. If Si equals -.2 or less corrosion or irritation
may occur.
Si = pH + Ti + Ci + Ai - 12.

Water Chemistry
The table below summarizes the levels that are recommended by The Association of
Pool and Spa Professionals (APSP). The only special requirements for the Aqua Rite
Pro are the salt level and stabilizer. It is important to maintain these levels in order to
prevent corrosion or scaling and to ensure maximum enjoyment of the pool. Test your
water periodically. Your authorized Aqua Rite Pro dealer or most pool stores can provide
you with the chemicals and procedures to adjust the water chemistry. Be sure to tell the
pool store that you are using an Aqua Rite
Pro chlorine generator.
Saturation index
The saturation index (Si) relates to the calcium and alkalinity in the water and is an
indicator of the pool water "balance". Your water is properly balanced if the Si is 0 ±.2.
If the Si is below -0.2, the water is corrosive and plaster pool walls will be dissolved into
the water. If the Si is above +0.2, scaling and staining will occur. Use the chart below to
determine the saturation index.
Goldline Aqua Rite Chlorinator
The Aqua Rite Pro can control one or more Goldline Aqua Rite chlorinators when addi-
tional sanitizing capacity is required. A 4 wire connection is used to communicate to the
Aqua Rite(s) and can be wired up to 500' apart. Any outdoor rated 4 conductor cable can
be used. Refer to the wiring diagram below and on the following page for proper wiring
connection to the Aqua Rite. NOTE: There must be only 1 "primary" unit. All other
Aqua Rite units must be configured as "secondary".
The Aqua Rite(s) power input must be wired to the LOAD SIDE of the filter pump timer
(the same as the Aqua Rite Pro).
Optional pH Dispense Wiring
Requires the use of a Goldline AQL-CHEM sensing device and an AQL-CHEM2, AQL-
CHEM2-240 or other pH dispensing device requiring 120VAC or 240VAC on/off con-
trol. A screw terminal block located on the enclosure surface below the transformer is
provided for connection to an AQL-CHEM2, AQL-CHEM2-240 or other pH related dis-
pensing device (peristaltic pumps, solenoid valves, etc.). After properly installing and
configuring the AQL-CHEM and the pH dispensing device, the Aqua Rite Pro will turn
on the dispensing device when pH correction is required.
IMPORTANT: The dispensing device must be powered by the same voltage used to
power the Aqua Rite Pro. Configure the output voltage to the pH device by moving the
wiring connections on the mainboard as shown on page 18.
Example: If an AQL-CHEM2-240 (240VAC) will be used, the Aqua Rite Pro must be
powered by 240VAC. Connect the 240VAC pigtail supplied with the AQL-CHEM to the
Aqua Rite Pro’s terminal block as shown in the diagram. The AQL-CHEM2-240 will then
plug into the pigtail’s 240VAC receptacle. Refer to the AQL-CHEM manual for more
detailed information.
