OPERATION
Diagnostic Displays:
Sequential pushes of the small “diagnostic” button next to the LCD display will cause the Aqua Rite to display
the following information:
1.
Pool temperature (xx degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius)
2.
Cell voltage (typically 21.0 to 27.0 volts when chlorine is being generated, otherwise 16-25V)
3.
Cell current (typically 2.50 to 7.80 amps when chlorine is being generated, otherwise 0 amps)
4.
Desired Output % (“0P” -- “100P” depending on knob position or input from remote pool automation
controller)
5.
Instant salinity ( -xxxx ppm or -x.xx grams/Liter)
6.
Product name sent to the pool automation control display
7.
Software revision level
8.
Cell type.
On the 8th push of the button the display will revert back to the default salt display. Also, if the button is not
pushed for 30 seconds, the display will revert back too.
OPERATION
By familiarizing yourself with the operation of the SPS generator, you can achieve maximum performance for
your pool. When chemical levels are in the recommended range, there are FOUR factors that you can control
which directly contribute to the amount of chlorine the SPS will generate:
Filter time each day (hours)
The amount of salt in the pool
The “Desired Level %” setting
Stabilizer level in the water
To find the optimum “Desired Level %” setting, start at a fairly high setting and work downward. It will take
a few days of adjustments to find the ideal setting for your pool. Once determined, it should only take minor
adjustments. The SPS control will not produce chlorine at temperatures below 50’F If your pool water is colder
than 50’F, you must chlorinate manually.
Maintaining the System
To maintain maximum performance, it is recommended that you remove and visually inspect the cell every 3
months. The SPS will remind you to do this by flashing the “Inspect Cell” LED after approximately 500 hours
of operation. After you inspect the cell (and clean, if necessary) press the small “diagnostic” button next to
the display for 3 seconds to stop the flashing “Inspect Cell” LED and start the timer for the next 500 hour
inspection period.
The SPS electrolytic cell has a self-cleaning feature incorporated into the electronic control’s logic. In most
cases this self-cleaning action will keep the cell working at optimum efficiency. In areas where water is hard
(high calcium and/or mineral content) and in pools where the water chemistry has gotten “out of balance”, the
cell may require periodic cleaning. The “Inspect Cell” LED remains on after a thorough cleaning, the cell may
be worn and may require replacement.
