RUN/STOP: The Aqua Rite Pro will toggle back and forth between RUN and STOP
with each push of the RUN/STOP button.
RUN: When in RUN mode, the Aqua Rite Pro will produce chlorine according to the
desired output % or ORP setting (when AQL-CHEM is used) for the entire filtering/
pumping cycle. The Aqua Rite Pro can only produce chlorine when RUN is selected
and the filter pump is running.
STOP: When in STOP mode, the Aqua Rite Pro is prevented from energizing the
electrolytic cell. In this position there is no chlorine generation. NOTE: To service
any of the pool equipment or the Aqua Rite Pro, the power must be turned off at the
circuit breaker.
SUPER CHLORINATE: (if optional AQL-CHEM sensing is NOT used) When you
have an abnormally high bather load, a large amount of rain, a cloudy water condi-
tion, or any other condition which needs a large amount of purification to be intro-
duced, SUPER CHLORINATE should be selected. This electronically “super chlori-
nates” (shocks) the water for a user selectable period of 1-96 hours (filter pump must
be on during this time) or until the power has been turned off, whichever comes first.
The Aqua Rite Pro will automatically revert back to the previous desired output %
setting at the end of the super chlorinate period.
INFO: Push the INFO button to enter the Information Menu (see Information Menu).
SETTINGS: Push the SETTINGS button to enter the Settings Menu (see Settings
Menu).
CURSORS (+, -, <, >): Use these buttons to scroll through submenus, make selec-
tions and adjust values.
Indicator LED's
RUN/STOP: When illuminated, the Aqua Rite Pro is in automatic mode and will
produce chlorine based on the desired output % or ORP setting (when AQL-CHEM
is used). When the LED is off, the Aqua Rite Pro has been manually turned off. It will
not produce chlorine until RUN has been selected.
SUPER CHLORINATE: When illuminated, the Super Chlorinate feature is active.
CHECK SYSTEM: When Check System is illuminated, an error has occurred that
requires attention. Refer to the Troubleshooting section of this manual for possible
errors and solutions.
INSTALLATION
Installation must be performed in accordance with Local and NEC codes.
Preparing Pool/Spa Water
Refer to page 2 for recommended chemical levels. The pool's chemistry must be bal-
anced BEFORE activating the Aqua Rite Pro. NOTE: If the pool does not have new
water, add 1 quart (1 liter) of metal remover and 1 quart (1 liter) of non-copper based
algaecide to the pool, per manufacturer's instructions. This ensures a quick, troublefree
transfer to the Aqua Rite Pro system.
Mounting the Aqua Rite Pro Control
The Aqua Rite Pro is contained in a raintight enclosure that is suitable for outdoor
mounting. The control must be mounted a minimum of 5 ft. (1.5 meters) horizontal
distance (or more, if local codes require) from the pool/spa.
The control is designed to mount horizontally on a flat surface with the knockouts
facing downward. Because the enclosure also acts as a heat sink (disperses heat from
inside the box), it is important not to block the four sides of the control. Do not mount
Aqua Rite Pro inside a panel or tight enclosed area.
