OPERATION
The Aqua Rite Pro is an automatic chlorine generation system for pool or spa sanitiza-
tion. The operation requires a low concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the pool
water. These levels are low enough that it normally will not be tasted. The Aqua Rite Pro
automatically sanitizes your pool by converting the salt into free chlorine which kills
bacteria and algae in the pool. Chlorine will revert back to sodium chloride after killing
bacteria. These reactions will continuously recycle virtually eliminating the need to add
sanitizing chemicals to your pool. The only time you may need to add more salt to the
pool is when water is replenished due to backwashing, draining, or splashing (not
evaporation).
The Aqua Rite Pro is designed to handle the purification needs of most residential
swimming pools up to 40,000 gallons (150,000 liters), or the needs of most commercial
pools up to 25,000 gallons (95,000 liters). Check local codes for other restrictions. The
actual amount of chlorination required to properly sanitize a pool varies due to bather
load, rainfall, temperature, and the pool's cleanliness.
Aqua Rite Pro chlorine generators operating with software version 1.10 or later are
designed to use one of 3 different chlorinator cells that are available from your autho-
rized Goldline dealer. These cells are not included with the Aqua Rite Pro and must be
purchased before installation. Choose the appropriate cell based on the size of your
pool. The models are shown below:
T-CELL-15- for pools up to 40,000 gallons
T-CELL-9 - for pools up to 25,000 gallons
T-CELL-3 - for pools up to 15,000 gallons
Note that the installation and mounting requirements are the same for all models.
The Aqua Rite Pro can be used with the optional Goldline AQL-CHEM to provide a fully
integrated chemistry solution for your pool. With the AQL-CHEM installed, the Aqua
Rite Pro senses the pool's ORP and pH levels and automatically generates the correct
amount of chlorine to keep your pool properly sanitized. The Aqua Rite Pro can also
control pH by introducing acid or CO
2
into the pool using an AQL-CHEM2 (120V), AQL-
CHEM2-240 (240V) or other dispensing device requiring 120VAC or 240VAC on/off
control. The Aqua Rite Pro and AQL-CHEM products offer the user a complete auto-
mated system controlling both sanitization and pH balance.
NOTE: Goldline does not recommend using the Aqua Rite Pro to generate bro-
mine.
NOTE: Before installing this product as part of a saline water purification system in a
pool or spa using natural stone for coping or for immediately adjacent patios/decking, a
qualified stone installation specialist should be consulted regarding the appropriate
type, installation, sealant (if any) and maintenance of stone used around a saline pool
with electronic chlorine generator in your particular location and circumstances.
NOTE: The use of dry acid (sodium bisulfate) to adjust pool pH is discouraged espe-
cially in arid regions where pool water is subject to excessive evaporation and is not
commonly diluted with fresh water. Dry acid can cause a buildup of by-products that
can damage your chlorinator cell.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Check System Indicator
The “CHECK SYSTEM” LED will alert you when the Aqua Rite Pro detects any of the
following conditions that are abnormal and require attention for optimal operation of
your pool. Press “<“ or “>” to view all of the existing “Check System” conditions.
• Inspect Cell -- 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 when it is time and display “Inspect Cell,
+ to reset” as part of the rotating Default Menu. Clean the cell (see instructions, page
12) and then press the “+” button during the “Inspect Cell” display to reset the timer.
• Low Salt/Minerals or Very Low Salt/Minerals -- When the salt is too low the Aqua
Rite Pro will generate less chlorine and the life of the cell is degraded. Check the cell
and clean if necessary before adding salt.
