Heater Checkout
Follow these instructions to verify that the Aqua Logic is properly controlling the heater.
1. Check that the Aqua Logic is calling for the heater to turn on as indicated by the “Heater” LED being
illuminated. If the “Heater” LED is illuminated, go directly to step 2; if not, then check the following:
• The heater is enabled (Configuration Menu/Heater Config.).
• The heater temperature setting is at least 2ºF greater than the water temperature (Settings Menu /
Pool Heater & Spa Heater).
• The filter pump is running.
• If the pool has solar heat and the solar priority feature is enabled (Configuration Menu/Solar
Config) then solar must be off in order for the heater to fire. The easiest way to force solar off is to
go to the Settings Menu / Pool Solar & Spa Solar and temporarily lower the temperature settings
below the current water temperature.
2. Check that the heater is running. If not, then check:
• Power is supplied to the heater.
• The Aqua Logic control output is properly connected to the heater control (see ”Heater Control”
wiring, page 15).
• Some heaters also have internal switches or jumpers that have to be set correctly for remote
control operation—refer to the heater manual and also “Heater Control” (page 15).
• Heater is turned on (“Kill Switch” is in the “ON” position).
• If a heater bypass valve is installed, check that water is flowing through the heater.
• The heater temperature setting is set as high as possible (usually 104ºF/40ºC). Also note that
some heat pumps actually have be set to the lowest possible temperature.
3. Once the heater is running, you can verify the “heater cooldown” feature (optional - see Configuration
Menu/Heater Config.) is operating properly:
• Press the “Filter” button once (for 2 speed pumps, this may require 2 pushes of the “Filter”
button).
• The heater should turn off (“Heater” LED off) and the “Filter” LED will flash to indicated heater
cooldown is active.
• The display will periodically indicate that the filter pump is on for heater cooldown and show the
minutes remaining.
• The pump will automatically turn off at the end of the 5 minute heater cooldown period.
For more detailed instructions on control and operation of the Aqua Logic system, refer to the Operation
Manual.
Service Mode
Service mode disables all automatic control operation and is intended to be used when servicing the pool
system. To enter service mode, push the SERVICE button once on the main unit keypad. This will initially
turn all outputs off and then allow you to turn outputs on/off manually at the main display (only). In service
mode, the buttons on the optional remote display/keypad and the optional spa side remote will turn
outputs off, but will not turn any output on. Heater control outputs and solar control outputs are prevented
from turning on if the water temperature exceeds 104ºF (40ºC).
Pushing the SERVICE button again will enter a timed service mode. Service operation as described
above will continue for 3 hours, then automatically return to normal operation.
Push the SERVICE button once more to exit out of Service mode.
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.

1. Preparing Pool/Spa Water
General Water Chemistry
Salt is required only if you are using the chlorinator features on the Aqua Logic Control. If you are NOT
using the chlorinator, it is recommended that you follow all of the other chemistry recommendations be-
sides salt. Refer to the description of the Aqua Logic configuration menu for information on enabling/
disabling the chlorinator (see page 23).
Water Chemistry
The table below summarizes the levels that are recommended by the Association of Pool and Spa Profes-
sionals (APSP). The only special requirements for the Aqua Logic are the salt level and stabilizer.
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 ±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.

The pool’s chemistry must be balanced BEFORE activating the Aqua Logic’s optional chlorinator func-
tion. NOTE: If the pool does not have new water, add metal remover and non-copper based algaecide
to the pool, per manufacturer’s instructions. This ensures a quick, troublefree transfer to the Aqua Logic
system.
Salt (When using optional chlorinator function - requires AQL-CL chlorination kit)
Salt Level
Use the chart below to determine how much salt in pounds or (Kgs) should be added to reach the recom-
mended levels. Use the equations on the following page (measurements are in feet/gallons and meters/
liters) if pool size is unknown.
The operating salt level is between 2700-3400 PPM (parts per million) with 3200 PPM being optimal.
Before adding any salt, test the salt level. This is especially important for retrofit installation to older pools
where all of the chlorine added to the pool over time is ending up as salt. If the level is low, determine the
number of gallons in the pool and add salt according to the chart below. A low salt level will reduce the
efficiency of the sanitization and result in low chlorine production. A high salt level can cause the Aqua
Logic to stop chlorinating. The salt in your pool/spa is constantly recycled and the loss of salt throughout
the swimming season should be minimal. This loss is due primarily to the addition of water because of
splashing, backwashing, or draining (because of rain). Salt is not lost due to evaporation.

Valve3 Function
Manual On/Off (default) – the valve3 relay will alternate between turning on and off when
the VALVE3 button is pressed. There is no automatic control logic. The VALVE3 button can
also be used to turn the valve output on or off.
Countdown Timer – the valve3 relay will turn on when the VALVE3 button is pressed and
then will turn off automatically after a programmed time (see Timers Menu in the Operations
Manual). The VALVE3 button can also be used to turn the output off.
Timeclock – the valve turns on/off at the times set for the valve3 timeclock in the Timers
Menu (see Operations Manual). The valve3 button can also be used to turn the valve output
on or off.
Solar – the valve operates when the filter pump is running and solar heat is available and the
water is less than the desired temperature setting. Solar heating must be enabled in the
“Solar Config. menu for proper operation to occur.
In-Floor Cleaner – the valve switches the water returning to the pool between the in-floor
cleaner and the normal return jets which facilitate efficient surface skimming. The valve will
operate the in-floor cleaner for the first half of each clock hour and then switch to the jets/
skimming for the last half of the hour.
Group – the valve operates when the Group function is initiated and shuts off when the
Group function is terminated. See valve3 Group section for operation information for the
Group function.
Super Chlorinate – The Super Chlorinate function can be assigned to any Aux, Lights or
Valve button. This allows the user to simply hit a button to start a Super Chlorinate cycle,
rather than using the Settings Menu. Note that only one button can me assigned to this
function.
Valve3 Interlock
If “Enabled”, this feature will override the function (timeclock, manual on/off, countdown
timer or in-floor cleaner) selected above and turn the valve off whenever the filter pump is off
or the pool/spa suction/return valves are set to “spa only” or “spillover” operation. Inter-
lock is not available with solar or group.
Valve3 Group
The valve3 Group function allows the user to perform multiple tasks with a single push of the
VALVE3 button. When setting up a Group function, refer to page 22 for specific programming
information. There are two Group menus; the first menu determines how the group command
will be initiated (Manual On/Off, Countdown Timer, or Timeclock) and the second menu
selects the desired functions and their respective control parameters.
When activating Group functions, be aware that the most recent Group function that is
initiated will override any previous Group function.
Valve3 Freeze Protection
This function protects the pool and plumbed equipment against freeze damage. If Freeze
Protection is enabled and the AIR temperature falls sensor falls below the selected freeze
protection temperature, the Aqua Logic will turn on the valve to allow circulation of the
water. IMPORTANT: this only enables operation of the valve3 output during freeze--see the
“Filter Pump Config.” menu to enable freeze protection for the main circulation system.
Freeze protection is not available for group functions.
Pool Sizing Formula
Type of Salt to Use
It is important to use only sodium chloride (NaCl) salt that is greater than 99.0% pure. This can be found
at most pool stores in 40-80 lb. bags labeled “for use in swimming pools”. Alternatively, use common food
quality or water softener salt that is at least 99.0% pure. It is also acceptable to use water conditioning salt
pellets, however, it will take longer for them to dissolve. Do not use rock salt, or salt with more than 1%
of yellow prussiate of soda, salt with anti-caking additives, or iodized salt.
How to Add Salt
For new plaster pools, wait 10-14 days before adding salt to allow the plaster to cure. Turn the circulating
pump on and add salt directly into the pool. Brush the salt around to speed up the dissolving process—do
not allow salt to pile up on the bottom of the pool. Run the filter pump for 24 hours with the suction coming
from the main drain (use pool vacuum if there is no main drain) to allow the salt to evenly disperse through-
out the pool. The salt display may take 24 hours to respond to the change in salt concentration.
Always check stabilizer (cyanuric acid), when checking salt. These levels will most likely decline together.
Use the chart below to determine how much stabilizer must be added to raise the level to 80 ppm.

Valve3 Name
The Aqua Logic allows you to assign any one of a number of names (e.g. “Cleaner Valve,
Waterfall valve, Solar Valve, etc.) to each of the valve output control function. This will make
the Aqua Logic much more user friendly to the homeowner when they want to turn various
valves on or off or program the timeclocks. A sheet of small name labels is included with the
Aqua Logic main unit and each remote display/keypad so that the “Valve3” (and “Valve4”)
pushbutton can be labeled the same as the name that you have assigned.
2. Mounting the Equipment
Aqua Logic Control Center
The Aqua Logic is contained in a raintight enclosure that is suitable for outdoor mounting. The control must
be mounted a minimum of 5 ft. (2 meters) horizontal distance from the pool/spa (or more, if local codes
require). The Control Center is designed to mount vertically 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 the Aqua Logic inside a panel or tightly
enclosed area.
When selecting a location, note that the standard cables supplied with the Turbo Cell, flow switch, tem-
perature sensors, and valve actuators (if applicable) are all 15 ft. (5m) long. Call the Goldline Service
Dept. (888-921-7665) for information regarding longer cables.
PS-16 Expansion Unit
For the PS-16, the relays for Aux1-6 are contained in the Aqua Logic Control Center. The relays for
Aux7-14 are contained in the PS-16 Expansion Unit. Valve outputs 7-10, in the PS-16 Expansion Unit
follow the outputs of Aux7-10, respectively.
Temperature Sensors
Three sensors are included with the Aqua Logic. A water sensor and an air sensor must be installed at all
times for proper operation. A solar sensor is required if the solar function or “dual equipment” is enabled.
Water Sensor
This sensor is used to measure the pool/spa temperature and is installed in the filtration plumbing after the
filter but before either the solar or conventionally fueled heaters—refer to the plumbing overview diagram.
1. Drill a 3/8” (10mm) diameter hole in the PVC piping and remove all chips and burrs.
2. Insert sensor until O-ring collar sits flush on the hole.
3. Position hose clamp over the sensor and gently tighten until O-ring makes an adequate seal. Do not
overtighten.
4. For maximum temperature accuracy, cover the sensor and 3” (6cm) of pipe on either side with
insulation and white paint.
Air Sensor
Mount the air sensor outdoors.
!
IMPORTANT: Mount the air sensor out of direct sunlight.
Solar Sensor (Spa Sensor if using “Dual Equipment”)
For solar applications, mount the sensor near the solar collector array so that it is exposed to the same
sunlight as the collectors. For Dual Equipment applications, mount the sensor after the spa filter but before
the heater (see page 10). Use additional cable (20 AWG) if necessary.
Optional AQL-CL Chlorination Kit
The AQL-PS-4/8/16 models require the use of the AQL-CL or AQL-CL-25FT chlorination kit when
using the chlorinator function. This kit contains a Turbo Cell, cell unions and flow switch. Refer to pages 12
and 20 for plumbing and wiring instructions.
Optional Remote Controls
Goldline offers a variety of wired and wireless remote control options for the Aqua Logic. Each model
gives you the ability to control your pool’s functions from a remote location, away from the Control Center.
6
Timeclock – the aux relay will turn-on and turn-off at the times set for the aux timeclock in the
Timers Menu (see Operations Manual). The AUX button can also be used to turn the
output on and off.
Solar – the aux relay operates a solar booster pump which will turn on when the filter pump
is running and solar heat is available and the water is less than the desired temperature
setting. It is important to note that “Solar” must be enabled in the “Solar Config.” menu for
proper operation to occur.
Low Speed of a 2-Speed Spa Filter Pump – the Aqua Logic will turn on the aux relay
whenever the low speed operation of the Dual Equipment Spa filter pump is required. “Pool
and Spa-Dual” (located in Pool/Spa Setup menu) and “2-Speed” (located in Spa Filter Config.
menu) must be selected for proper operation.
Group – the aux relay operates when the Group function is initiated and shuts off when the
Group function is terminated. See Aux1 Group section for operation information for the
Group function.
Super Chlorinate – The Super Chlorinate function can be assigned to any Aux, Lights or
Valve button. This allows the user to simply hit a button to start a Super Chlorinate cycle,
rather than using the Settings Menu. Note that only one button can me assigned to this
function.
Aux1 Relay
This feature allows the user to select either “Standard” (default) or “Dimmer” type relay for
the Aux1 output. The optional AQL-DIM dimmer kit must be installed if “Dimmer” is desired.
When “Dimmer” is selected, and the Aux1 output is manually turned on, the “+” and “-”
buttons adjust the level from 20% to 100% (default). The level is saved for the next time the
aux1 output is turned from off to on.
Aux1 Interlock
If “Enabled”, this feature will override the function (Manual On/Off, Countdown Timer,
Timeclock), selected above and turn the aux1 off when: filter pump is off, first 3 minutes of
filter pump operation (allows the pump to prime and get water flowing), when the pool/spa
suction return valves are in any position other than “pool only”, or for the first 3 minutes
after solar turns on (allows air in the solar panels to be purged). Interlock is not available for
solar, low speed filter pump, dimmer, or group functions.
Aux1 Group
The Aux1 Group function allows the user to perform multiple tasks with a single push of the
“Aux1” button. When setting up a Group function, refer to page 22 for specific programming
information. There are two Group menus; the first menu determines how the group command
will be initiated (Manual On/Off, Countdown Timer, or Timeclock) and the second menu
selects the desired functions and their respective control parameters.
When activating Group functions, be aware that the most recent Group function that is
initiated will override any previous Group function.
Aux1 Freeze Protection
This function protects the pool, plumbing, and equipment against freeze damage. If Freeze
Protection is enabled and the AIR temperature sensor falls below the selected freeze protection
temperature, the Aqua Logic will turn on the aux relay to circulate the water. IMPORTANT:
this only enables operation of the AUX output during freeze--see the “Filter Pump Config.”
menu to enable freeze protection for the main circulation system. Freeze Protection is not
available for low speed filter pump, dimmer, or group functions.

Wired Remote Controls
Up to 3 wired remote controls can be installed. See “Electrical Wiring” (page 19) for instructions on
running the cable from the Aqua Logic main unit to the remote control. Also refer to the remote’s installa-
tion instructions for more information.
AQL-WW-PS-x (x=4,8, or 16), AQL2-Wx-PS-x (x=4,8, or 16)
The AQL-WW-PS-x and AQL2-Wx-PS-x display/keypads must be mounted indoors or in a weather
protected area (rain should never hit the unit). Note that the number of outputs on the remote (“4”, “8” or
“16”) must match the outputs on the Aqua Logic main control unit. The display/keypad is designed to
mount onto a standard electrical utility box (same box as a triple light switch, ideal for new construction) or
can be mounted directly onto any wall surface. When selecting a location, note that the wire to the Aqua
Logic main unit must be less than 500’ long.
AQL-SS-6B-x, AQL-SS-D-x (x=W, G or B for White, Gray or Black)
The AQL-SS-6B and AQL-SS-D are double insulated, waterproof devices which are intended for instal-
lation at the water's edge. The remote controls come with an attached 150’ cable and are typically
installed at the tile-line of the spa wall, or in the deck, within arm's reach of a pool/spa occupant.
Wireless Remote Controls
A single Base Station must be installed on the Aqua Logic in order to use any of the Goldline wireless
remote controls. With the Base Station installed, there is no limit on the number of wireless remotes that
can used. The maximum distance between the wireless remotes and the base station on the Aqua Logic
main control unit is 400 feet (120m) line of sight or 200 feet (60m) through walls, etc. If in doubt about the
distance, test operation before installing the remote.
Use AQL-BASE-RF for all AQL wireless remote controls. Use AQL2-BASE-RF for all AQL2 wireless
remote controls.
All wireless models require the user to run the “Teach Wireless” routine in the Settings Menu. This infor-
mation can be found in the Aqua Logic Operation Manual and the owner’s manual of each remote.
AQL-WW-RF-PS-x, AQL-Wx-RF-PS-x (x=4,8, or 16)
The AQL-WW-RF-PS-x is a wall mounted display/keypad and must be mounted indoors or in a weather
protected area (rain should never hit the unit). Note that number of outputs on the remote (e.g. “4”, 8” or
“16”) must match the outputs on the Aqua Logic Control Center. Also note that the remote must be within
6 feet of a standard 120V wall outlet for the plug-in power supply included with the unit.
AQL-Tx-RF-PS-x, AQL2-Tx-RF-PS-x (x=4,8, or 16)
The AQL-Tx-RF-PS-x and AQL2-Tx-RF-PS-x are portable battery operated remote controls designed
to be used in a weather protected area (rain should never hit the unit). Both remotes come with a wall
mounted power supply for recharging the built-in batteries.
AQL-SS-RF, AQL2-SS-RF, AQL2-POD
The AQL-SS-RF, AQL2-SS-RF and AQL2-POD are waterproof portable remote controls that are
designed to be used in and around the pool/spa area. These units float and can be left in the pool/spa water
for easy access.

WARNING: Do not use the Aqua Logic to control an automatic pool cover. Swim-
mers may become entrapped underneath the cover.
NOTE: If “Pool and Spa-Dual” is selected, Aux1 is dedicated to use as the spa filter. Its Name is set to Spa Filter, the
Function is set to Timeclock and Interlock is set to Disabled. These can’t be changed.
Aux1 Name
The Aqua Logic allows you to assign any one of a number of names (e.g. “Cleaner Pump,
Waterfall, Gazebo Light, etc.) to each of the aux outputs control function. This will make the
Aqua Logic much more user friendly to the homeowner when they want to turn various aux
equipment on or off or program the timeclocks. A sheet of small name labels is included with
the Aqua Logic main unit and each remote display/keypad so that the “Aux” pushbutton can
be labeled the same as the name that you have assigned. At this time it is also a good idea to
make sure that the relay in the control box is also labeled (hand written) with the same name
as a help to technicians who may service this system at a later date.
Aux1 Function
Manual On/Off (default)—the aux relay will alternate between turning on and off when the
aux button is pressed. There is no automatic control logic.
Countdown Timer – the aux relay will turn on when the AUX button is pressed and then will
turn off automatically after a programmed time (see Timers Menu in the Operations Manual).
The AUX button can also be used to turn the output off.
Low Speed of a 2-speed Filter Pump – the Aqua Logic will operate the aux relay whenever
the low speed operation of the filter pump is required. It is very important that the “2-speed”
filter pump option be selected under the “Filter Config.” Menu for proper operation.
Optional Base Station
The optional base station, Goldline part number AQL-BASE-RF or AQL2-BASE-RF, must be installed
if any wireless remote control is used. Use the proper base station for the desired remote control - AQL-
BASE-RF for AQL remote controls or AQL2-BASE-RF for AQL2 remote controls. To install the base
station, remove the knockout on the upper left side of the Aqua Logic main control unit, insert the base
station, and then tighten the nut from the inside. Also refer to the Base Station manual and the diagram on
page 20.
Optional Valve Actuators
For optional actuators supplied with the Aqua Logic—note that the internal cams in the actuator may also
have to be adjusted depending on the way the actuator is mounted on the valve and the desired valve
action.

will be initiated (Manual On/Off, Countdown Timer, or Timeclock) and the second menu
selects the desired functions and their respective control parameters.
When activating Group functions, be aware that the most recent Group function that is
initiated will override any previous Group function.
Lights Freeze Protection
This function helps protect equipment that is wired to the lights relay against freeze damage.
If Freeze Protection is enabled and the AIR temperature sensor falls below the selected freeze
temperature threshold, the Aqua Logic will energize the lights relay. IMPORTANT: this only
enables operation of the lights relay during freeze--see the “Filter Pump Config.” menu to
enable freeze protection for the main circulation system. Freeze Protection is not available for
low speed filter pump, dimmer, or group functions.

For 2-speed pumps: When a 2-speed pump is configured, one of the AUX relays must also
be configured to control the low speed motor winding on the pump (see page 15 for wiring
and page 31 for AUX configuration). See the Operation manual for specific information
regarding the control logic for 2-speed pump operation.
Freeze Protection
Freeze protection is used to protect the spa and plumbed equipment against freeze damage.
If freeze protection is enabled and the AIR temperature sensor falls below the freeze thresh-
old (selectable in Filter Pump Configuration Menu - page 25), the Aqua Logic will turn on the
spa filter pump to circulate the water.
3. Plumbing
“Standard” Pool/Spa system configuration
These systems use a single filter pump and filter. Pool or spa operation is controlled by two 3-way valves
(suction and return). Refer to the diagram below.
Some important notes regarding the Aqua Logic control of Standard Pool/Spa systems:
In Pool/Spa Config., select:
Pool/Spa Setup
Pool and Spa-Std
1. The Aqua Logic can be programmed to accommodate spa spillover, if desired.
2. Up to two conventional heaters (gas or heat pump) plus solar can be used to heat both the pool
and the spa.
3. If the chlorinator cell is plumbed prior to the pool/spa return valve, then both the pool and the spa
can be chlorinated.
4. The water sensor should be installed prior to any heater or solar and will display either the pool or
the spa temperature, depending on the current operation of the pool. The temperature will only be
displayed when the filter pump is running.
5. If any water feature or pressure side cleaner boost pumps are used, be sure to enable the “interlock”
feature (see “Configuration Menu” for details) to ensure that the pumps operate only when the
filter pump is on and the system is in the “pool only” operating mode.
6. The plumbing diagram above is intended to be used as a general guideline and is not a complete
plumbing schematic for the pool.
7. The air sensor must be installed if the freeze protection feature is enabled for the filter, valves or aux
outputs. 9

Lights Function
Although designated as the “Lights” output, the function of the lights relay is similar to the
Aux relays. If pool lights are wired to the lights relay, some options including Solar function,
Low Speed of a 2-Speed Filter Pump, Lights Interlock and Lights Freeze Protection are not
applicable and should be disabled. If no pool lights are used, the lights relay can be used to
control other pool devices that may require these options. The function of each option is
shown below.
Manual On/Off—the lights relay will alternate between turning on and off when the LIGHTS
button is pressed. There is no automatic control logic.
Countdown Timer—the lights relay will turn on when the LIGHTS button is pressed. The
lights relay will turn off automatically after a programmed time (see Timers Menu in Operation
Manual). The LIGHTS button can also be used to turn the output off.
Low Speed of a 2-speed Filter Pump – the Aqua Logic will turn on the lights relay whenever
the low speed operation of the filter pump is required. It is very important that the “2-speed”
filter pump option be selected under the “Filter Config.” Menu for proper operation.
Timeclock – the lights relay will turn-on and turn-off at the times set for the lights timeclock
in the Settings Menu (see Settings Menu in Operation Manual). The LIGHTS button can
also be used to turn the output on and off.
Solar – the lights relay can operate a solar booster pump which will turn on when the filter
pump is running and solar heat is available and the water is less than the desired temperature
setting. It is important to note that “Solar” must be enabled in the “Solar Config.” menu for
proper operation to occur.
Low Speed of a 2-Speed Spa Filter Pump – the Aqua Logic will turn on the lights relay
whenever the low speed operation of the Dual Equipment Spa filter pump is required. “Pool
and Spa-Dual” (located in Pool/Spa Setup menu) and “2-Speed” (located in Spa Filter Config.
menu) must be selected for proper operation.
Group – the lights relay operates when the Group function is initiated and shuts off when
the Group function is terminated. See Lights Group section for operation information for the
Group function.
Super Chlorinate – The Super Chlorinate function can be assigned to any Aux, Lights or
Valve button. This allows the user to simply hit a button to start a Super Chlorinate cycle,
rather than using the Settings Menu. Note that only one button can me assigned to this
function.
Lights Relay
This feature allows the user to select either “Standard” (default) or “Dimmer” type relay for
the Lights output. The optional AQL-DIM dimmer kit must be installed if “Dimmer” is
desired. When “Dimmer” is selected, and the Lights output is manually turned on, the “+”
and “-” buttons adjust the level from 20% to 100% (default). The level is saved for the next
time the lights are turned from off to on.
Lights Interlock
If enabled, this feature will override the function (Manual On/Off, Countdown Timer,
Timeclock) selected above and turn the lights relay off when: filter pump is off, first 3
minutes of filter pump operation (allows the pump to prime and get water flowing), when the
pool/spa suction return valves are in any position other than “pool only”, or for the first 3
minutes after solar turns on (allows air in the solar panels to be purged). Interlock is not
available for solar, low speed filter pump, dimmer, or group functions.
“Dual Equipment - Separate Heaters” for Pool/Spa configuration
These systems have 2 complete sets of equipment (filter pump, filter, heater)—1 set for the pool and the
other set for the spa. Refer to the diagram below:
Some important notes regarding the Aqua Logic control of Dual Equipment Pool/Spa systems with separate
heaters:
In the Pool/Spa Config., select:
Pool/Spa Setup
Pool and Spa-Dual
Heaters
Htr1=Spa,Htr2=Pool
1. When dual equipment is selected:
a. The “Filter” pump automatically is renamed “Pool Filter” and can not be changed. The
pool filter can be a one or two speed pump.
b. The “Aux1” output is automatically renamed “Spa Filter”, its function is set to “Timeclock”
and the Interlock feature is forced to “Disabled”. None of these can be changed. The spa
filter can be a one or two speed pump.
c. The Heater1 output should be connected to the spa heater—the heater will only turn on
when the spa filter pump is running.
d. The Heater2 output should be connected to the pool heater—the heater will only operate
when the pool filter is running. If the system does not have a pool heater, disable Heater2
in the configuration menu and then the relay can be used to operate general purpose
Valve4.
2. The water sensor should be installed on the pool loop prior to the heater and will display the pool
temperature whenever the “Pool Filter” pump is running.

If solar is “Enabled”, the valve or solar pump relay will turn on when the water temperature is
less than the desired temperature setting AND the solar sensor is hotter than the water by at
least 8ºF. The desired temperature is in the “Settings Menu”. If applicable, the homeowner
will be prompted to enter separate pool and spa desired temperature settings. Depending on
the position of the pool/spa suction valve, the proper temperature setting will be used.
Solar Extend
If “Enabled”, the filter extend logic keeps the filter pump running beyond the normal turn-off
time if solar heat is still available. When solar heat is no longer available, both the solar
valve/pump and filter pump will turn off simultaneously. Solar extend will NOT cause the
filter pump to turn on, it will only delay the turn off time when solar is operating.
Solar Priority
If both “Solar Control” and “Heater Control” are enabled, the Solar Priority feature will keep
the conventional heater off whenever solar heat is available. This provides the most cost
effective way of heating the pool. When solar heat is not available, the conventional heater
will operate normally.

3. The solar sensor should be installed on the spa loop prior to the heater and will display the spa
temperature whenever the “Spa Filter” pump is running.
4. Solar heater control is NOT available for dual equipment systems.
5. The Aqua Logic can be programmed to accommodate spillover if desired. Note that spillover
operation will be automatically suspended whenever the spa filter pump is turned on.
6. The chlorinator cell must be installed in the pool plumbing. If spillover is enabled, then the Aqua
Logic can chlorinate both the pool and spa (during spillover operation). Otherwise, the Aqua
Logic will only chlorinate the pool and the spa sanitization will have to be handled manually.
7. If any water feature or pressure side cleaner boost pumps are used, be sure to enable the “interlock”
feature (see “Configuration Menu” for details) to ensure that the pumps operate only when the
“Pool Filter” pump is on and the system is in the “pool only” operating mode.
8. The plumbing diagram on page 10 is intended to be used as a general guideline and is not a
complete plumbing schematic for the pool.
9. When using the wireless spa-side remote control (AQL-SS-RF), the “POOL” button will position
the valves for Pool mode and the “SPA” button will position the valves for Spillover mode.

each remote display/keypad so that appropriate pushbuttons can be labeled the same as
the name that you have assigned.
Heater Cooldown
This feature ensures that the heater cools down before water circulation is stopped. When
enabled, the Aqua Logic will continue to run the filter pump for 5 minutes after the heater
turns off. During this period the filter pump LED will flash and also a “Heater Cooldown,
X:XX remaining” message will scroll on the display.
When the filter pump is running and the heater is on: Pressing the “Filter” button once will
cause the heater to turn off, but the filter pump will continue to run for heater cooldown (filter
LED flashing and message on display). Pushing the filter button a second time will override
the heater cooldown operation and turn the filter pump off.
For a Pool/Spa Setup selection of “Pool Only”, “Spa Only” or “Pool and Spa-Std”, Heater1
and/or Heater2 cooldown affect the filter pump. For “Pool and Spa-Dual”, Heater1 is associated
with the spa filter and Heater2 with the pool filter.
Heater Extend
If “Enabled”, the filter extend logic keeps the filter pump running beyond the normal turn-off
time until the pool (or spa) is heated up to the desired temperature setting (see Settings
Menu). Heater extend will NOT cause the filter pump to turn on, it will only delay the turn
off time when the heater is operating.
For a Pool/Spa Setup selection of “Pool Only”, “Spa Only” or “Pool and Spa-Std”, Heater1
and/or Heater2 will keep the filter pump running. For “Pool and Spa-Dual”, Heater1 will keep
the spa filter running and Heater2 will keep the pool filter running.
Allow Low Speed
This menu only appears if the pool filter is configured for 2-speed operation. During default
operation, high speed mode is used whenever the heater is on. If Allow Low Speed is
enabled, low speed will be allowed even if the heater is on.

Solar
The Solar configuration menu will NOT appear if “Pool and Spa - Dual” has been selected in
the Pool/Spa setup menu. If the solar control logic is “Enabled”, several additional steps
must be taken to ensure proper operation of the solar heating system. If the solar is operated
by a valve, then a valve (Valve3 or Valve4) output must be setup for solar logic (page 29). If
the solar is operated by a pump, then one of the AUX relays must be set up for solar logic
(page 31). Also, the “solar” temperature sensor must be installed. This sensor is typically
mounted near the collector array and is used to sense whether sufficient solar heat is avail-
able.
28
2. The water sensor should be installed on the pool loop prior to the heater(s) and will display the
pool temperature whenever the “Pool Filter” pump is running.
3. The solar sensor should be installed on the spa loop prior to the heater(s) and will display the spa
temperature whenever the “Spa Filter” pump is running.
4. Solar heater control is NOT available for dual equipment systems.
5. The Aqua Logic can be programmed to accommodate spillover if desired. Note that spillover
operation will be automatically suspended whenever the spa filter pump is turned on.
6. The chlorinator cell and flow switch must be installed in the heater return path. If spillover is
enabled, then the Aqua Logic can chlorinate both the pool and spa (during spillover operation).
Otherwise, the Aqua Logic will only chlorinate the pool when the spa does not control the heater(s)
and the spa sanitization will have to be handled manually.
7. If any water feature or pressure side cleaner boost pumps are used, be sure to enable the “interlock”
feature (see “Configuration Menu” for details) to ensure that the pumps operate only when the
“Pool Filter” pump is on and the system is in the “pool only” operating mode.
8. The plumbing diagram on page 11 is intended to be used as a general guideline and is not a
complete plumbing schematic for the pool.
9. When using the wireless spa-side remote control (AQL-SS-RF), the “POOL” button will position
the valves for Pool mode and the “SPA” button will position the valves for Spillover mode.
Turbo Cell (supplied with AQL-CL chlorination kit)
The Turbo Cell (used for chlorine generation) should be plumbed AFTER the filter and heater. If installed
on a pool/spa combination system, the cell should be plumbed BEFORE the pool/spa return valve in order
to allow proper chlorination of both the pool and the spa. Refer to plumbing diagram below:
The cell may be mounted vertically or horizontally, and water can move in either direction through the cell.
Install using the 2" unions provided. Tighten unions BY HAND for a watertight seal. For systems with
1½“ plumbing use adaptors (provided by installer).
Flow Switch (supplied with AQL-CL chlorination kit)
The flow switch must be plumbed in the same section of plumbing as the Turbo Cell. The flow switch is a
safety device that ensures that water is flowing through the cell before the Aqua Logic starts to generate
chlorine. Failure to properly install the flow switch can result in explosive gases accumulating in the pool
plumbing system.
!
IMPORTANT: There must be at least a 12" (30cm) straight pipe run before (upstream)
the flow switch. If the switch is plumbed after the cell, the cell can by counted as the 12" (30cm)
of straight pipe.
!
IMPORTANT: To ensure proper operation, verify that the arrow on the flow switch points
in the direction of water flow.

Flow Monitor
This feature will help protect the filter pump from damage due to no flow. When used with a
Goldline flow switch, the Aqua Logic monitors the state of water flow when the filter pump is
on. If no flow is detected for more than 15 minutes, the Aqua Logic will shut down the pool
pump and the “Check System” LED will indicate an error. The error will be cleared the next
time the pump is turned on.
Freeze Protection
Freeze protection is used to protect the pool and plumbed equipment against freeze damage.
If freeze protection is enabled and the AIR temperature sensor falls below the freeze thresh-
old (see below), the Aqua Logic will turn on the filter pump to circulate the water. If “Pool and
Spa” is selected in the Pool/Spa sub-menu (see page 24), the valves will also alternate
between the pool and spa every 30 minutes and the filter pump will turn off while the valves
are turning. The chlorinator will not operate if freeze protection is the only reason the pump
is running.
Freeze Protection Temperature
Select the temperature to be used for freeze protection. Temperature is adjustable from 33ºF
- 42ºF (1ºC - 6ºC). 38ºF (3ºC) is default. This threshold will be used for all outputs that have
freeze protection enabled.
NOTE: Heater1 and Heater2 configuration are identical. If Heater2 is enabled then Valve4 will automatically be
disabled due to the fact that they use the same output relay and only 1 function can be assigned to that relay.

If the heater is “Enabled”, the heater relay will turn on when the water temperature is less
than the desired temperature setting and the filter pump is running. The desired temperature
is in the “Settings Menu”. If applicable, the homeowner will be prompted to enter separate
“pool” and “spa” settings. Depending on the position of the pool/spa suction valves, the
proper temperature setting will be used.
Heater Name
The Aqua Logic allows you to assign any one of a number of names (e.g. “Gas Heater, Heat
Pump, etc.) to each of the heater control functions. This will make the Aqua Logic much
more user friendly to the homeowner when they want to turn various heaters on or off or set
27
4. Electrical Wiring
The Aqua Logic Control Center and PS-16 Expansion Unit require both high and low voltage connec-
tions. Low voltage connections will be made to actuators, sensors, remote keypad, etc. High voltage
connections will be made to pumps, lights, etc., as well as providing direct input power to the Control
Center. Always:
-Ensure that Power is disconnected prior to doing any wiring
-Follow all local and NEC (CEC if applicable) codes
-Use copper conductors only
Main Service (Power to the Circuit Breaker Subpanel)
The Aqua Logic circuit breaker subpanel is rated for 100A service. Run properly rated conductors (L1,
L2, N, and ground) from the primary house electrical panel to the main power connections on the Aqua
Logic circuit breaker base. The connection at the main house panel should be to a 240VAC circuit
breaker rated at 100A maximum.
Grounding and Bonding
Connect a ground wire from the primary electrical panel to the Aqua Logic ground bus bar. Also ground
each piece of high voltage (120 or 240VAC) equipment that is connected to the Aqua Logic control relays
or circuit breakers. The Aqua Logic should also be connected to the pool bonding system by an 8AWG
(6AWG for Canada) wire. A lug for bonding (2 for Canada) is provided on the outside/bottom of the
Aqua Logic enclosure.
Circuit Breaker Installation and Wiring
Circuit breakers are to be supplied by the installer. See the chart below for a list of suitable circuit breakers
that can be used. Follow the code and the circuit breaker manufacturer’s rating requirements regarding the
size and temperature rating for wiring. Note that some pool equipment may be required to be connected
to ground fault circuit breakers—check local and NEC (CEC) codes.

Filter Operation
If “Spa Spillover” is selected, the Aqua Logic will automatically switch the pool/spa suction
and return valves to “spillover” at the start of the programmed pool filtering time period or
when the super-chlorinate function is turned on. The valves will remain in this position for
the remainder of the super-chlorinate period. This option is usually preferable because both
the pool and spa water will be filtered and sanitized.
If “Pool Only” is selected, then the Aqua Logic will switch the pool/spa valves to the “pool
only” position at the start of the programmed pool filtering time period or when the super-
chlorinate function is turned on. This may be desirable on some systems with in-floor
cleaners because it allows the cleaner to operate all the time the pool is being filtered and/or
the super chlorinate is running.
V1=Aux1, V2=Aux2
This menu appears only if the Pool/Spa Setup is “Pool Only” or “Spa Only”. When enabled,
Valve 1 (return) will follow the Aux1 output and Valve 2 (suction) will follow the Aux2 output.
When disabled (default), the return and suction pool/spa valves function normally.
Filter Off Valve Change
This menu appears only if Pool/Spa setup is set to “Pool and Spa”. When enabled (default),
the filter pump will shut off for 35 seconds whenever the Pool/Spa valves are turning. The
pump will NOT shut off when the heater has Cooldown enabled and is either on or in the
Heater Cooldown mode.

Filter Name
The Aqua Logic allows you to assign any one of a number of names (e.g. “Filter Pump, Pool
Filter, Spa Filter, etc.) to the filter relay. This will make the Aqua Logic more user friendly to
the homeowner when they want to control the filter equipment. A sheet of small name
labels is included with the Aqua Logic main unit and each remote display/keypad so that
appropriate pushbuttons can be labeled the same as the name that you have assigned.
Filter Pump
For 2-speed pumps: When a 2-speed pump is configured, one of the AUX relays must also
be configured to control the low speed motor winding on the pump (see page 14 for wiring
and page 31 for AUX configuration). See the Operation manual for specific information
regarding the control logic for 2-speed pump operation.
General Purpose Outlet
If desired, a duplex receptacle with weatherproof cover (supplied by installer) may be installed in the
knockouts on the lower right side of the Aqua Logic enclosure. Per code, the receptacle should be a
GFCI type. Alternatively, connect a standard receptacle to a GFCB.
Aqua Logic Control Power
The Aqua Logic requires 120VAC, 2A power to operate the control logic circuits and the chlorinator.
This power should be connected to one of the circuit breakers.
!
WARNING: 120VAC only (permanent damage if connected to 240V)
High Voltage (120/240V) Pool Equipment
All Aqua Logic relays are double pole (they make/break both “legs” of 240V circuits) and are rated at
3HP/30A at 240V (1½HP/30A at 120V). Refer to the diagram below for typical relay wiring.
!
WARNING: Do not use the Aqua Logic to control an automatic pool cover. Swim-
mers may become entrapped underneath the cover.

Pool/Spa Setup
If “Pool Only” or “Spa Only” are selected, then the pool/spa valves are not needed and
pushing the POOL/SPA button on the display/keypad will have no effect. If “Pool and Spa-
Std” is selected, then the pool/spa suction and return valve actuators should be connected
to the Aqua Logic. Pressing the POOL/SPA button on the display/keypad will allow the
homeowner to alternate between pool and spa operation. If “Pool and Spa-Dual” is selected,
then only the Pool/Spa return valve actuator should be connected to the Aqua Logic.
For more information on “Pool and Spa-Std” and “Pool and Spa-Dual”, refer to Section 3,
Plumbing, on pages 9-12.
Heaters
This menu will only appear if Pool/Spa setup is set to “Pool and Spa-Dual”. This allows the
heater(s) to either be shared between the pool and spa (“Shared” selected) or for Heater1 to
be dedicated to the spa and Heater2 to be dedicated to the pool (“Htr1=Spa, Htr2=Pool”
selected).
Spa CountDn
This menu will appear only if Pool/Spa Setup is set to “Pool and Spa-Std”. This setting is the
time, after you manually switch the Pool/Spa valves to “Spa Only”, until the Aqua Logic
automatically returns the valves to their previous positions. It is programmed in increments
of 5 minutes, from “Manual On/Off” (0 minutes) to “21:00” (21 hours). The filter is forced
on during this time period.
Spa Spillover
When spa spillover is “Enabled” and “Pool and Spa-Std”, the homeowner will be able to
rotate through “Pool Only” (both suction and return valves switched to pool), “Spa Only”
(both suction and return valves switched to spa) and “Spillover” (suction valve switched to
pool and return valve switched to spa) by successive presses of the “Pool/Spa” button. For
“Pool and Spa-Dual”, only “Pool Only” and “Spillover” are available.
25
Two speed filter pump: Requires 2 relays (FILTER plus one of the AUX relays) for proper operation of
both speeds.
!
IMPORTANT: Be sure to follow the wiring diagram below AND to configure
the control logic according to the instructions on page 25.
Lights: A ground fault circuit breaker must be used to supply power for high voltage pool/spa lighting.
Low voltage lights will require an external transformer. For lighting systems that have both a light source
and color wheel, connect the light source to the “Lights” relay and then connect the color wheel to one of
the AUX outputs.
Low Voltage Wiring
Valve Actuators
The Aqua Logic can control up to four (PS-4/8) or eight (PS-16) 24V automatic valve actuators. Two of
the valve outputs are dedicated to the pool/spa suction (Valve2) and return (Valve1) valves. Valve3 and
Valve4 (Valves3, 4, 7-10 for PS-16) are for general purpose use (solar, water feature, in-floor cleaner,
etc.).
For installations with solar heating, Goldline offers the AQ-SOL-KIT-xx solar kit that contains a valve,
actuator, and extra temperature sensor. The “xx” indicates the valve type from the 2 choices below:
-1P 1.5” Positive Seal
-2P 2” Positive Seal
The Aqua Logic is compatible with standard valve actuators manufactured by Hayward, Pentair/Compool,
and Jandy. See diagram on page 13 for the location of valve connectors.
Heater Control
The Aqua Logic allows for independent control of up to 2 heaters plus a solar heating system if applicable.
A typical use for this feature is on a pool that has both a gas heater (for rapid heating of the spa) and a heat
pump (for economical heating of the pool). IMPORTANT: If you chose to use the “Heater2” control
output, then you will not be able to use the “Valve4” output. These 2 functions use the same internal
relay and only one can be enabled. In the configuration menu, if “Heater2” is enabled, then the configura-
tion for “Valve4” will never appear. The heater interface wiring, as described below, is identical for “Heater1”
and “Heater2” except for the terminal connections at the Aqua Logic control.
The Aqua Logic provides a set of low voltage dry contacts that can be connected to most gas heaters or
heat pumps with 24V control circuits. Refer to the diagram on the following page for a generic connection.

the pool and spa according to the desired output setting (see Settings Menu in the Operation
manual). If disabled (default), then neither the cell nor flow switch need to be installed and
all displays relating to the chlorinator will be suppressed.
When the chlorinator is enabled, the Aqua Logic will automatically detect and control any
Aqua Rite(s) that is installed in the system (see page 21).
Display
Allows for the display of salt (default) or mineral values.
Cell Type Selection
The Cell Type Menu appears after “Display Salt/Minerals” in the Chlorinator Configuration
Menu. The options are T-CELL-5 or T-CELL-15 (default). Make the proper selection based
on the electrolytic cell that is used in your system. For pools up to 20,000 gallons, the T-
CELL-5 is typically used. The T-CELL-15 is for pools up to 40,000 gallons.
The manuals supplied with most heaters also include specific wiring instructions for connecting the heater
to an external control (usually identified as “2-wire” remote control). For millivolt or line voltage heaters,
contact Goldline Tech support, 888-921-7665. Refer to the diagrams and the information on the follow-
ing pages for more details on the connection to several popular heaters.
Generic Heaters
1. Wire heater to 120/240V power source per the instructions in the heater manual. The Aqua Logic
does NOT control the power going to the heater.
2. Wire the Aqua Logic dry contact heater output per the diagram below. Many internal parts of the
heater can get very hot--see the heater manufacturer’s recommendations on the minimum temperature
rating for wires. If no guidance is given, use 105°C rated wire.
3. Set any ON/OFF switch on the heater to ON.
4. Set the thermostat(s) on the heater to the maximum (hottest) setting.
Laars Heaters
1. Turn power off to heater.
2. Remove factory jumper from terminal block.

Note that all functions in the table may not be offered. The available functions are dependent on how the
Aqua Logic is configured. For example, if the Aqua Logic is configured for a single heater, “Heater2” will
not be available as an option in the Group menu. Also, under some circumstances, functions will be
displayed but can’t be changed. Note that the function whose menu you are in, will not be displayed as an
option and will automatically turn on when the group is activated. For example, if programming a Group
function under the Lights menu, the Lights function will not be offered as an option and the Lights function
will automatically turn on with the group.
The available control parameters vary with each function. All functions offer “Unaffected”, which should
be selected if you do not wish to control that particular function within the group. All other parameters will
depend on the particular function selected.
When activating Group functions, be aware that the most recent Group function that you activate will
override any previous Group functions.
Heater Setpoints in Groups
The Aqua Logic can be programmed to use alternate heater setpoints (conventional and/or solar) while
running group commands. This allows the heater to be set to a higher or lower temperature than normal,
while the group is activated. When the group stops, the setpoint will return to its normal setting.
Changing the setpoint while the Group is running will make the Group release the alternate setpoint control
and revert back to the normal heater setting. Any changes that are made at that point will affect the normal
heater setting. The next time the Group is activated, the temperature will return to the group setpoint that
was originally programmed in the Configuration Menu. To change the setpoint while the Group is running,
go to the Settings menu and press the +/- button while “Group Control” is displayed. The setpoint will
change and be retained as the new normal heater setpoint.
Super Chlorinate
The Aqua Logic can be programmed to Super Chlorinate the pool or spa while running a group command.
When the Group starts, the Super Chlorinate cycle will begin. Super Chlorinate will continue until the
preset time expires (see Timers Menu/Super Chlorinate Hours) or until the Group turns off. Changing the
Super Chlorinate state using the Settings Menu, the Aqua Pod Super Chlorinate button, or a Super Chlo-
rinate assigned Aux/Lights/Valve button will temporarily cancel the Group’s control of Super Chlorinate
until the next time the Group is activated.
PS-8 and PS-16 Virtual Models
Aqua Logic Virtual models are similar to standard PS models, but offer additional auxiliary outputs with
limited functionality. The AQL-PS-8-V is similar to the AQL-PS-4 with 4 additional Aux outputs. The
AQL-PS-16-V is similar to the AQL-PS-8 with 8 additional outputs. The additional aux outputs on virtual
models can only be assigned to the Super Chlorinate function (if the Chlorinator is enabled) or to a Group
function. Refer to the following programming information when assigning functions to the virtual auxiliary
outputs.
Accessing the Configuration Menus
Configuring the Aqua Logic requires that you navigate through the Configuration Menu and input various
information. For more detailed information about using the Aqua Logic menu system, refer to the Opera-
tion Manual.
Hayward Heaters
Refer to the instructions in the heater manual for “2-wire Remote Thermostat” operation under “Remote
Control Connections” and the diagram on the below:
1. Turn off power to heater.
2. Wire Aqua Logic to terminals 1 & 2 (see diagram).
3. Leave jumper attached to terminals 4 & 5.
4. Move “BYPASS” dipswitch on heater circuit board to “ON” position (up).
5. Turn heater power back on.
6. Switch heater to either “Pool” or “Spa” (it doesn’t make any difference which is selected, the Aqua
Logic will take control).
7. Heater display should be “bO” (for “bypass On).
8. Heater will fire whenever Aqua Logic requests (when Aqua Logic “Heater” LED is illuminated).
Pentair/Purex/MiniMax
1. Turn power off to heater.
2. Remove factory installed jumper from the “Ext Switch” connector.
3. Wire the Aqua Logic to the “Ext Switch” connector as shown below.
4. The wires to the Aqua Logic must be separated from any line voltage wires. Failure to follow these
instructions may cause erratic operation of the heater.
5. Set the Power (Thermostat Select) switch to either “Pool” or “Spa”.
6. Set the “Pool” and “Spa” thermostats to their maximum settings.

After plumbing and wiring are complete, the Aqua Logic MUST BE CONFIGURED before attempting to
operate. Configuration information is entered at the keypad and “tells” the Aqua Logic what equipment is
connected and how each should be controlled.
Group Function
The latest version of the Aqua Logic offers the ability to assign a Group function to a particular button.
Instead of a button controlling one particular function, the button can be programmed to initiate a sequence
of commands that are programmed in the Configuration Menu. For example, instead of the Lights button
turning on and off the pool light only, the button can be programmed to turn on the pool light, turn on the
bug light, turn off the pool cleaner, turn on and dim the patio lights, turn on the music, etc. all at the same
time. This convenient feature is offered on all Aux buttons, both Valve buttons and the Lights button. Refer
to this section when programming Group commands.
Before assigning and configuring all the desired functions and their control parameters, the group itself must
be configured. The options for controlling groups are Manual On/Off, Countdown Timer, and Timeclock.
The group will turn on and off based on this selection.
When setting up a Group function in the Configuration Menu, the first menu allows you to select the control
parameter (how the group is activated and de-activated) and the second menu allows you to select which
Aqua Logic functions are to be controlled in the group.
A table of functions and their corresponding control parameters are listed below.

Group Function
The latest version of the Aqua Logic offers the ability to assign a Group function to a particular button.
Instead of a button controlling one particular function, the button can be programmed to initiate a sequence
of commands that are programmed in the Configuration Menu. For example, instead of the Lights button
turning on and off the pool light only, the button can be programmed to turn on the pool light, turn on the

The manuals supplied with most heaters also include specific wiring instructions for connecting the heater
to an external control (usually identified as “2-wire” remote control). For millivolt or line voltage heaters,
contact Goldline Tech support, 888-921-7665. Refer to the diagrams and the information on the follow-
ing pages for more details on the connection to several popular heaters.
Generic Heaters
1. Wire heater to 120/240V power source per the instructions in the heater manual. The Aqua Logic
does NOT control the power going to the heater.
2. Wire the Aqua Logic dry contact heater output per the diagram below. Many internal parts of the
heater can get very hot--see the heater manufacturer’s recommendations on the minimum temperature
rating for wires. If no guidance is given, use 105°C rated wire.
3. Set any ON/OFF switch on the heater to ON.
4. Set the thermostat(s) on the heater to the maximum (hottest) setting.
Laars Heaters
1. Turn power off to heater.
2. Remove factory jumper from terminal block.
3. Wire Aqua Logic to the heater as shown.
4. Ensure toggle switch is in the ON position.
5. Set heater thermostats to maximum position.

Note that all functions in the table may not be offered. The available functions are dependent on how the
Aqua Logic is configured. For example, if the Aqua Logic is configured for a single heater, “Heater2” will
not be available as an option in the Group menu. Also, under some circumstances, functions will be
displayed but can’t be changed. Note that the function whose menu you are in, will not be displayed as an
option and will automatically turn on when the group is activated. For example, if programming a Group
function under the Lights menu, the Lights function will not be offered as an option and the Lights function
will automatically turn on with the group.
The available control parameters vary with each function. All functions offer “Unaffected”, which should
be selected if you do not wish to control that particular function within the group. All other parameters will
depend on the particular function selected.
When activating Group functions, be aware that the most recent Group function that you activate will
override any previous Group functions.
Heater Setpoints in Groups
The Aqua Logic can be programmed to use alternate heater setpoints (conventional and/or solar) while
running group commands. This allows the heater to be set to a higher or lower temperature than normal,
while the group is activated. When the group stops, the setpoint will return to its normal setting.
Changing the setpoint while the Group is running will make the Group release the alternate setpoint control
and revert back to the normal heater setting. Any changes that are made at that point will affect the normal
heater setting. The next time the Group is activated, the temperature will return to the group setpoint that
was originally programmed in the Configuration Menu. To change the setpoint while the Group is running,
go to the Settings menu and press the +/- button while “Group Control” is displayed. The setpoint will
change and be retained as the new normal heater setpoint.
Super Chlorinate
The Aqua Logic can be programmed to Super Chlorinate the pool or spa while running a group command.
When the Group starts, the Super Chlorinate cycle will begin. Super Chlorinate will continue until the
preset time expires (see Timers Menu/Super Chlorinate Hours) or until the Group turns off. Changing the
Super Chlorinate state using the Settings Menu, the Aqua Pod Super Chlorinate button, or a Super Chlo-
rinate assigned Aux/Lights/Valve button will temporarily cancel the Group’s control of Super Chlorinate
until the next time the Group is activated.
PS-8 and PS-16 Virtual Models
Aqua Logic Virtual models are similar to standard PS models, but offer additional auxiliary outputs with
limited functionality. The AQL-PS-8-V is similar to the AQL-PS-4 with 4 additional Aux outputs. The
AQL-PS-16-V is similar to the AQL-PS-8 with 8 additional outputs. The additional aux outputs on virtual
models can only be assigned to the Super Chlorinate function (if the Chlorinator is enabled) or to a Group
function. Refer to the following programming information when assigning functions to the virtual auxiliary
outputs.
Accessing the Configuration Menus
Configuring the Aqua Logic requires that you navigate through the Configuration Menu and input various
information. For more detailed information about using the Aqua Logic menu system, refer to the Opera-
tion Manual.
Two speed filter pump: Requires 2 relays (FILTER plus one of the AUX relays) for proper operation of
both speeds.
!
IMPORTANT: Be sure to follow the wiring diagram below AND to configure
the control logic according to the instructions on page 25.
Lights: A ground fault circuit breaker must be used to supply power for high voltage pool/spa lighting.
Low voltage lights will require an external transformer. For lighting systems that have both a light source
and color wheel, connect the light source to the “Lights” relay and then connect the color wheel to one of
the AUX outputs.
Low Voltage Wiring
Valve Actuators
The Aqua Logic can control up to four (PS-4/8) or eight (PS-16) 24V automatic valve actuators. Two of
the valve outputs are dedicated to the pool/spa suction (Valve2) and return (Valve1) valves. Valve3 and
Valve4 (Valves3, 4, 7-10 for PS-16) are for general purpose use (solar, water feature, in-floor cleaner,
etc.).
For installations with solar heating, Goldline offers the AQ-SOL-KIT-xx solar kit that contains a valve,
actuator, and extra temperature sensor. The “xx” indicates the valve type from the 2 choices below:
-1P 1.5” Positive Seal
-2P 2” Positive Seal
The Aqua Logic is compatible with standard valve actuators manufactured by Hayward, Pentair/Compool,
and Jandy. See diagram on page 13 for the location of valve connectors.
Heater Control
The Aqua Logic allows for independent control of up to 2 heaters plus a solar heating system if applicable.
A typical use for this feature is on a pool that has both a gas heater (for rapid heating of the spa) and a heat
pump (for economical heating of the pool). IMPORTANT: If you chose to use the “Heater2” control
output, then you will not be able to use the “Valve4” output. These 2 functions use the same internal
relay and only one can be enabled. In the configuration menu, if “Heater2” is enabled, then the configura-
tion for “Valve4” will never appear. The heater interface wiring, as described below, is identical for “Heater1”
and “Heater2” except for the terminal connections at the Aqua Logic control.
The Aqua Logic provides a set of low voltage dry contacts that can be connected to most gas heaters or
heat pumps with 24V control circuits. Refer to the diagram on the following page for a generic connection.

If the chlorinator is enabled (requires the use of the AQL-CL chlorination kit), then the cell
and flow switch must also be installed and the Aqua Logic will automatically chlorinate both
the pool and spa according to the desired output setting (see Settings Menu in the Operation
manual). If disabled (default), then neither the cell nor flow switch need to be installed and
all displays relating to the chlorinator will be suppressed.
When the chlorinator is enabled, the Aqua Logic will automatically detect and control any
Aqua Rite(s) that is installed in the system (see page 21).
Display
Allows for the display of salt (default) or mineral values.
Cell Type Selection
The Cell Type Menu appears after “Display Salt/Minerals” in the Chlorinator Configuration
Menu. The options are T-CELL-5 or T-CELL-15 (default). Make the proper selection based
on the electrolytic cell that is used in your system. For pools up to 20,000 gallons, the T-
CELL-5 is typically used. The T-CELL-15 is for pools up to 40,000 gallons.
General Purpose Outlet
If desired, a duplex receptacle with weatherproof cover (supplied by installer) may be installed in the
knockouts on the lower right side of the Aqua Logic enclosure. Per code, the receptacle should be a
GFCI type. Alternatively, connect a standard receptacle to a GFCB.
Aqua Logic Control Power
The Aqua Logic requires 120VAC, 2A power to operate the control logic circuits and the chlorinator.
This power should be connected to one of the circuit breakers.
!
WARNING: 120VAC only (permanent damage if connected to 240V)
High Voltage (120/240V) Pool Equipment
All Aqua Logic relays are double pole (they make/break both “legs” of 240V circuits) and are rated at
3HP/30A at 240V (1½HP/30A at 120V). Refer to the diagram below for typical relay wiring.

If “Pool Only” or “Spa Only” are selected, then the pool/spa valves are not needed and
pushing the POOL/SPA button on the display/keypad will have no effect. If “Pool and Spa-
Std” is selected, then the pool/spa suction and return valve actuators should be connected
to the Aqua Logic. Pressing the POOL/SPA button on the display/keypad will allow the
homeowner to alternate between pool and spa operation. If “Pool and Spa-Dual” is selected,
then only the Pool/Spa return valve actuator should be connected to the Aqua Logic.
For more information on “Pool and Spa-Std” and “Pool and Spa-Dual”, refer to Section 3,
Plumbing, on pages 9-12.
Heaters
This menu will only appear if Pool/Spa setup is set to “Pool and Spa-Dual”. This allows the
heater(s) to either be shared between the pool and spa (“Shared” selected) or for Heater1 to
be dedicated to the spa and Heater2 to be dedicated to the pool (“Htr1=Spa, Htr2=Pool”
selected).
Spa CountDn
This menu will appear only if Pool/Spa Setup is set to “Pool and Spa-Std”. This setting is the
time, after you manually switch the Pool/Spa valves to “Spa Only”, until the Aqua Logic
automatically returns the valves to their previous positions. It is programmed in increments
of 5 minutes, from “Manual On/Off” (0 minutes) to “21:00” (21 hours). The filter is forced
on during this time period.
Spa Spillover
When spa spillover is “Enabled” and “Pool and Spa-Std”, the homeowner will be able to
rotate through “Pool Only” (both suction and return valves switched to pool), “Spa Only”
(both suction and return valves switched to spa) and “Spillover” (suction valve switched to
pool and return valve switched to spa) by successive presses of the “Pool/Spa” button. For
“Pool and Spa-Dual”, only “Pool Only” and “Spillover” are available.

4. Electrical Wiring
The Aqua Logic Control Center and PS-16 Expansion Unit require both high and low voltage connec-
tions. Low voltage connections will be made to actuators, sensors, remote keypad, etc. High voltage
connections will be made to pumps, lights, etc., as well as providing direct input power to the Control
Center. Always:
-Ensure that Power is disconnected prior to doing any wiring
-Follow all local and NEC (CEC if applicable) codes
-Use copper conductors only
Main Service (Power to the Circuit Breaker Subpanel)
The Aqua Logic circuit breaker subpanel is rated for 100A service. Run properly rated conductors (L1,
L2, N, and ground) from the primary house electrical panel to the main power connections on the Aqua
Logic circuit breaker base. The connection at the main house panel should be to a 240VAC circuit
breaker rated at 100A maximum.
Grounding and Bonding
Connect a ground wire from the primary electrical panel to the Aqua Logic ground bus bar. Also ground
each piece of high voltage (120 or 240VAC) equipment that is connected to the Aqua Logic control relays
or circuit breakers. The Aqua Logic should also be connected to the pool bonding system by an 8AWG
(6AWG for Canada) wire. A lug for bonding (2 for Canada) is provided on the outside/bottom of the
Aqua Logic enclosure.
Circuit Breaker Installation and Wiring
Circuit breakers are to be supplied by the installer. See the chart below for a list of suitable circuit breakers
that can be used. Follow the code and the circuit breaker manufacturer’s rating requirements regarding the
size and temperature rating for wiring. Note that some pool equipment may be required to be connected
to ground fault circuit breakers—check local and NEC (CEC) codes.

Filter Operation
If “Spa Spillover” is selected, the Aqua Logic will automatically switch the pool/spa suction
and return valves to “spillover” at the start of the programmed pool filtering time period or
when the super-chlorinate function is turned on. The valves will remain in this position for
the remainder of the super-chlorinate period. This option is usually preferable because both
the pool and spa water will be filtered and sanitized.
If “Pool Only” is selected, then the Aqua Logic will switch the pool/spa valves to the “pool
only” position at the start of the programmed pool filtering time period or when the super-
chlorinate function is turned on. This may be desirable on some systems with in-floor
cleaners because it allows the cleaner to operate all the time the pool is being filtered and/or
the super chlorinate is running.
V1=Aux1, V2=Aux2
This menu appears only if the Pool/Spa Setup is “Pool Only” or “Spa Only”. When enabled,
Valve 1 (return) will follow the Aux1 output and Valve 2 (suction) will follow the Aux2 output.
When disabled (default), the return and suction pool/spa valves function normally.
Filter Off Valve Change
This menu appears only if Pool/Spa setup is set to “Pool and Spa”. When enabled (default),
the filter pump will shut off for 35 seconds whenever the Pool/Spa valves are turning. The
pump will NOT shut off when the heater has Cooldown enabled and is either on or in the
Heater Cooldown mode.

Filter Name
The Aqua Logic allows you to assign any one of a number of names (e.g. “Filter Pump, Pool
Filter, Spa Filter, etc.) to the filter relay. This will make the Aqua Logic more user friendly to
the homeowner when they want to control the filter equipment. A sheet of small name
labels is included with the Aqua Logic main unit and each remote display/keypad so that
appropriate pushbuttons can be labeled the same as the name that you have assigned.
Filter Pump
For 2-speed pumps: When a 2-speed pump is configured, one of the AUX relays must also
be configured to control the low speed motor winding on the pump (see page 14 for wiring
and page 31 for AUX configuration). See the Operation manual for specific information
regarding the control logic for 2-speed pump operation.
2. The water sensor should be installed on the pool loop prior to the heater(s) and will display the
pool temperature whenever the “Pool Filter” pump is running.
3. The solar sensor should be installed on the spa loop prior to the heater(s) and will display the spa
temperature whenever the “Spa Filter” pump is running.
4. Solar heater control is NOT available for dual equipment systems.
5. The Aqua Logic can be programmed to accommodate spillover if desired. Note that spillover
operation will be automatically suspended whenever the spa filter pump is turned on.
6. The chlorinator cell and flow switch must be installed in the heater return path. If spillover is
enabled, then the Aqua Logic can chlorinate both the pool and spa (during spillover operation).
Otherwise, the Aqua Logic will only chlorinate the pool when the spa does not control the heater(s)
and the spa sanitization will have to be handled manually.
7. If any water feature or pressure side cleaner boost pumps are used, be sure to enable the “interlock”
feature (see “Configuration Menu” for details) to ensure that the pumps operate only when the
“Pool Filter” pump is on and the system is in the “pool only” operating mode.
8. The plumbing diagram on page 11 is intended to be used as a general guideline and is not a
complete plumbing schematic for the pool.
9. When using the wireless spa-side remote control (AQL-SS-RF), the “POOL” button will position
the valves for Pool mode and the “SPA” button will position the valves for Spillover mode.
Turbo Cell (supplied with AQL-CL chlorination kit)
The Turbo Cell (used for chlorine generation) should be plumbed AFTER the filter and heater. If installed
on a pool/spa combination system, the cell should be plumbed BEFORE the pool/spa return valve in order
to allow proper chlorination of both the pool and the spa. Refer to plumbing diagram below:
The cell may be mounted vertically or horizontally, and water can move in either direction through the cell.
Install using the 2" unions provided. Tighten unions BY HAND for a watertight seal. For systems with
1½“ plumbing use adaptors (provided by installer).
Flow Switch (supplied with AQL-CL chlorination kit)
The flow switch must be plumbed in the same section of plumbing as the Turbo Cell. The flow switch is a
safety device that ensures that water is flowing through the cell before the Aqua Logic starts to generate
chlorine. Failure to properly install the flow switch can result in explosive gases accumulating in the pool
plumbing system.
!
IMPORTANT: There must be at least a 12" (30cm) straight pipe run before (upstream)
the flow switch. If the switch is plumbed after the cell, the cell can by counted as the 12" (30cm)
of straight pipe.
!
IMPORTANT: To ensure proper operation, verify that the arrow on the flow switch points
in the direction of water flow.
12
12”
min
Flow switch before cell Flow switch after cell
Flow Monitor
This feature will help protect the filter pump from damage due to no flow. When used with a
Goldline flow switch, the Aqua Logic monitors the state of water flow when the filter pump is
on. If no flow is detected for more than 15 minutes, the Aqua Logic will shut down the pool
pump and the “Check System” LED will indicate an error. The error will be cleared the next
time the pump is turned on.
Freeze Protection
Freeze protection is used to protect the pool and plumbed equipment against freeze damage.
If freeze protection is enabled and the AIR temperature sensor falls below the freeze thresh-
old (see below), the Aqua Logic will turn on the filter pump to circulate the water. If “Pool and
Spa” is selected in the Pool/Spa sub-menu (see page 24), the valves will also alternate
between the pool and spa every 30 minutes and the filter pump will turn off while the valves
are turning. The chlorinator will not operate if freeze protection is the only reason the pump
is running.
Freeze Protection Temperature
Select the temperature to be used for freeze protection. Temperature is adjustable from 33ºF
- 42ºF (1ºC - 6ºC). 38ºF (3ºC) is default. This threshold will be used for all outputs that have
freeze protection enabled.
NOTE: Heater1 and Heater2 configuration are identical. If Heater2 is enabled then Valve4 will automatically be
disabled due to the fact that they use the same output relay and only 1 function can be assigned to that relay.

is in the “Settings Menu”. If applicable, the homeowner will be prompted to enter separate
“pool” and “spa” settings. Depending on the position of the pool/spa suction valves, the
proper temperature setting will be used.
Heater Name
The Aqua Logic allows you to assign any one of a number of names (e.g. “Gas Heater, Heat
Pump, etc.) to each of the heater control functions. This will make the Aqua Logic much
more user friendly to the homeowner when they want to turn various heaters on or off or set

3. The solar sensor should be installed on the spa loop prior to the heater and will display the spa
temperature whenever the “Spa Filter” pump is running.
4. Solar heater control is NOT available for dual equipment systems.
5. The Aqua Logic can be programmed to accommodate spillover if desired. Note that spillover
operation will be automatically suspended whenever the spa filter pump is turned on.
6. The chlorinator cell must be installed in the pool plumbing. If spillover is enabled, then the Aqua
Logic can chlorinate both the pool and spa (during spillover operation). Otherwise, the Aqua
Logic will only chlorinate the pool and the spa sanitization will have to be handled manually.
7. If any water feature or pressure side cleaner boost pumps are used, be sure to enable the “interlock”
feature (see “Configuration Menu” for details) to ensure that the pumps operate only when the
“Pool Filter” pump is on and the system is in the “pool only” operating mode.
8. The plumbing diagram on page 10 is intended to be used as a general guideline and is not a

each remote display/keypad so that appropriate pushbuttons can be labeled the same as
the name that you have assigned.
Heater Cooldown
This feature ensures that the heater cools down before water circulation is stopped. When
enabled, the Aqua Logic will continue to run the filter pump for 5 minutes after the heater
turns off. During this period the filter pump LED will flash and also a “Heater Cooldown,
X:XX remaining” message will scroll on the display.
When the filter pump is running and the heater is on: Pressing the “Filter” button once will
cause the heater to turn off, but the filter pump will continue to run for heater cooldown (filter
LED flashing and message on display). Pushing the filter button a second time will override
the heater cooldown operation and turn the filter pump off.
For a Pool/Spa Setup selection of “Pool Only”, “Spa Only” or “Pool and Spa-Std”, Heater1
and/or Heater2 cooldown affect the filter pump. For “Pool and Spa-Dual”, Heater1 is associated
with the spa filter and Heater2 with the pool filter.
Heater Extend
If “Enabled”, the filter extend logic keeps the filter pump running beyond the normal turn-off
time until the pool (or spa) is heated up to the desired temperature setting (see Settings
Menu). Heater extend will NOT cause the filter pump to turn on, it will only delay the turn
off time when the heater is operating.
For a Pool/Spa Setup selection of “Pool Only”, “Spa Only” or “Pool and Spa-Std”, Heater1
and/or Heater2 will keep the filter pump running. For “Pool and Spa-Dual”, Heater1 will keep
the spa filter running and Heater2 will keep the pool filter running.
Allow Low Speed
This menu only appears if the pool filter is configured for 2-speed operation. During default
operation, high speed mode is used whenever the heater is on. If Allow Low Speed is
enabled, low speed will be allowed even if the heater is on.

must be taken to ensure proper operation of the solar heating system. If the solar is operated
by a valve, then a valve (Valve3 or Valve4) output must be setup for solar logic (page 29). If
the solar is operated by a pump, then one of the AUX relays must be set up for solar logic
(page 31). Also, the “solar” temperature sensor must be installed. This sensor is typically
mounted near the collector array and is used to sense whether sufficient solar heat is avail-
able.

If solar is “Enabled”, the valve or solar pump relay will turn on when the water temperature is
less than the desired temperature setting AND the solar sensor is hotter than the water by at
least 8ºF. The desired temperature is in the “Settings Menu”. If applicable, the homeowner
will be prompted to enter separate pool and spa desired temperature settings. Depending on
the position of the pool/spa suction valve, the proper temperature setting will be used.
Solar Extend
If “Enabled”, the filter extend logic keeps the filter pump running beyond the normal turn-off
time if solar heat is still available. When solar heat is no longer available, both the solar
valve/pump and filter pump will turn off simultaneously. Solar extend will NOT cause the
filter pump to turn on, it will only delay the turn off time when solar is operating.
Solar Priority
If both “Solar Control” and “Heater Control” are enabled, the Solar Priority feature will keep
the conventional heater off whenever solar heat is available. This provides the most cost
effective way of heating the pool. When solar heat is not available, the conventional heater
will operate normally.

The Aqua Logic allows you to assign any one of a number of names (e.g. “Pool Light, Spa
Light, Deck Light, etc.) to this control function. Note that other lights may be assigned to
other Aux outputs. This will make the Aqua Logic much more user friendly to the homeowner
when they want to turn various lights on or off. A sheet of small name labels is included with
the Aqua Logic main unit and each remote display/keypad so that the “Lights” pushbutton
can be labeled the same as the name that you have assigned. At this time it is also a good
idea to make sure that the relay in the control box is also labeled (hand written) with the same
name as a help to technicians who may service this system at a later date.
3. Plumbing
“Standard” Pool/Spa system configuration
These systems use a single filter pump and filter. Pool or spa operation is controlled by two 3-way valves
(suction and return). Refer to the diagram below.
Some important notes regarding the Aqua Logic control of Standard Pool/Spa systems:
In Pool/Spa Config., select:
Pool/Spa Setup
Pool and Spa-Std
1. The Aqua Logic can be programmed to accommodate spa spillover, if desired.
2. Up to two conventional heaters (gas or heat pump) plus solar can be used to heat both the pool
and the spa.
3. If the chlorinator cell is plumbed prior to the pool/spa return valve, then both the pool and the spa
can be chlorinated.
4. The water sensor should be installed prior to any heater or solar and will display either the pool or
the spa temperature, depending on the current operation of the pool. The temperature will only be
displayed when the filter pump is running.
5. If any water feature or pressure side cleaner boost pumps are used, be sure to enable the “interlock”
feature (see “Configuration Menu” for details) to ensure that the pumps operate only when the
filter pump is on and the system is in the “pool only” operating mode.
6. The plumbing diagram above is intended to be used as a general guideline and is not a complete
plumbing schematic for the pool.
7. The air sensor must be installed if the freeze protection feature is enabled for the filter, valves or aux
outputs. 9

Lights Function
Although designated as the “Lights” output, the function of the lights relay is similar to the
Aux relays. If pool lights are wired to the lights relay, some options including Solar function,
Low Speed of a 2-Speed Filter Pump, Lights Interlock and Lights Freeze Protection are not
applicable and should be disabled. If no pool lights are used, the lights relay can be used to
control other pool devices that may require these options. The function of each option is
shown below.
Manual On/Off—the lights relay will alternate between turning on and off when the LIGHTS
button is pressed. There is no automatic control logic.
Countdown Timer—the lights relay will turn on when the LIGHTS button is pressed. The
lights relay will turn off automatically after a programmed time (see Timers Menu in Operation
Manual). The LIGHTS button can also be used to turn the output off.
Low Speed of a 2-speed Filter Pump – the Aqua Logic will turn on the lights relay whenever
the low speed operation of the filter pump is required. It is very important that the “2-speed”
filter pump option be selected under the “Filter Config.” Menu for proper operation.
Timeclock – the lights relay will turn-on and turn-off at the times set for the lights timeclock
in the Settings Menu (see Settings Menu in Operation Manual). The LIGHTS button can
also be used to turn the output on and off.
Solar – the lights relay can operate a solar booster pump which will turn on when the filter
pump is running and solar heat is available and the water is less than the desired temperature
setting. It is important to note that “Solar” must be enabled in the “Solar Config.” menu for
proper operation to occur.
Low Speed of a 2-Speed Spa Filter Pump – the Aqua Logic will turn on the lights relay
whenever the low speed operation of the Dual Equipment Spa filter pump is required. “Pool
and Spa-Dual” (located in Pool/Spa Setup menu) and “2-Speed” (located in Spa Filter Config.
menu) must be selected for proper operation.
Group – the lights relay operates when the Group function is initiated and shuts off when
the Group function is terminated. See Lights Group section for operation information for the
Group function.
Super Chlorinate – The Super Chlorinate function can be assigned to any Aux, Lights or
Valve button. This allows the user to simply hit a button to start a Super Chlorinate cycle,
rather than using the Settings Menu. Note that only one button can me assigned to this
function.
Lights Relay
This feature allows the user to select either “Standard” (default) or “Dimmer” type relay for
the Lights output. The optional AQL-DIM dimmer kit must be installed if “Dimmer” is
desired. When “Dimmer” is selected, and the Lights output is manually turned on, the “+”
and “-” buttons adjust the level from 20% to 100% (default). The level is saved for the next
time the lights are turned from off to on.
Lights Interlock
If enabled, this feature will override the function (Manual On/Off, Countdown Timer,
Timeclock) selected above and turn the lights relay off when: filter pump is off, first 3
minutes of filter pump operation (allows the pump to prime and get water flowing), when the
pool/spa suction return valves are in any position other than “pool only”, or for the first 3
minutes after solar turns on (allows air in the solar panels to be purged). Interlock is not
available for solar, low speed filter pump, dimmer, or group functions.
Optional Base Station
The optional base station, Goldline part number AQL-BASE-RF or AQL2-BASE-RF, must be installed
if any wireless remote control is used. Use the proper base station for the desired remote control - AQL-
BASE-RF for AQL remote controls or AQL2-BASE-RF for AQL2 remote controls. To install the base
station, remove the knockout on the upper left side of the Aqua Logic main control unit, insert the base
station, and then tighten the nut from the inside. Also refer to the Base Station manual and the diagram on
page 20.
Optional Valve Actuators
For optional actuators supplied with the Aqua Logic—note that the internal cams in the actuator may also
have to be adjusted depending on the way the actuator is mounted on the valve and the desired valve
action.

Lights Group
The Lights Group function allows the user to perform multiple tasks with a single push of the
“Lights” button. When setting up a Group function, refer to page 22 for specific programming
information. There are two Group menus; the first menu determines how the group command
will be initiated (Manual On/Off, Countdown Timer, or Timeclock) and the second menu
selects the desired functions and their respective control parameters.
When activating Group functions, be aware that the most recent Group function that is
initiated will override any previous Group function.
Lights Freeze Protection
This function helps protect equipment that is wired to the lights relay against freeze damage.
If Freeze Protection is enabled and the AIR temperature sensor falls below the selected freeze
temperature threshold, the Aqua Logic will energize the lights relay. IMPORTANT: this only
enables operation of the lights relay during freeze--see the “Filter Pump Config.” menu to
enable freeze protection for the main circulation system. Freeze Protection is not available for
low speed filter pump, dimmer, or group functions.

Spa Filter Pump
For 2-speed pumps: When a 2-speed pump is configured, one of the AUX relays must also
be configured to control the low speed motor winding on the pump (see page 15 for wiring
and page 31 for AUX configuration). See the Operation manual for specific information
regarding the control logic for 2-speed pump operation.
Freeze Protection
Freeze protection is used to protect the spa and plumbed equipment against freeze damage.
If freeze protection is enabled and the AIR temperature sensor falls below the freeze thresh-
old (selectable in Filter Pump Configuration Menu - page 25), the Aqua Logic will turn on the
spa filter pump to circulate the water.
Wired Remote Controls
Up to 3 wired remote controls can be installed. See “Electrical Wiring” (page 19) for instructions on
running the cable from the Aqua Logic main unit to the remote control. Also refer to the remote’s installa-
tion instructions for more information.
AQL-WW-PS-x (x=4,8, or 16), AQL2-Wx-PS-x (x=4,8, or 16)
The AQL-WW-PS-x and AQL2-Wx-PS-x display/keypads must be mounted indoors or in a weather
protected area (rain should never hit the unit). Note that the number of outputs on the remote (“4”, “8” or
“16”) must match the outputs on the Aqua Logic main control unit. The display/keypad is designed to
mount onto a standard electrical utility box (same box as a triple light switch, ideal for new construction) or
can be mounted directly onto any wall surface. When selecting a location, note that the wire to the Aqua
Logic main unit must be less than 500’ long.
AQL-SS-6B-x, AQL-SS-D-x (x=W, G or B for White, Gray or Black)
The AQL-SS-6B and AQL-SS-D are double insulated, waterproof devices which are intended for instal-
lation at the water's edge. The remote controls come with an attached 150’ cable and are typically
installed at the tile-line of the spa wall, or in the deck, within arm's reach of a pool/spa occupant.
Wireless Remote Controls
A single Base Station must be installed on the Aqua Logic in order to use any of the Goldline wireless
remote controls. With the Base Station installed, there is no limit on the number of wireless remotes that
can used. The maximum distance between the wireless remotes and the base station on the Aqua Logic
main control unit is 400 feet (120m) line of sight or 200 feet (60m) through walls, etc. If in doubt about the
distance, test operation before installing the remote.
Use AQL-BASE-RF for all AQL wireless remote controls. Use AQL2-BASE-RF for all AQL2 wireless
remote controls.
All wireless models require the user to run the “Teach Wireless” routine in the Settings Menu. This infor-
mation can be found in the Aqua Logic Operation Manual and the owner’s manual of each remote.
AQL-WW-RF-PS-x, AQL-Wx-RF-PS-x (x=4,8, or 16)
The AQL-WW-RF-PS-x is a wall mounted display/keypad and must be mounted indoors or in a weather
protected area (rain should never hit the unit). Note that number of outputs on the remote (e.g. “4”, 8” or
“16”) must match the outputs on the Aqua Logic Control Center. Also note that the remote must be within
6 feet of a standard 120V wall outlet for the plug-in power supply included with the unit.
AQL-Tx-RF-PS-x, AQL2-Tx-RF-PS-x (x=4,8, or 16)
The AQL-Tx-RF-PS-x and AQL2-Tx-RF-PS-x are portable battery operated remote controls designed
to be used in a weather protected area (rain should never hit the unit). Both remotes come with a wall
mounted power supply for recharging the built-in batteries.
AQL-SS-RF, AQL2-SS-RF, AQL2-POD
The AQL-SS-RF, AQL2-SS-RF and AQL2-POD are waterproof portable remote controls that are
designed to be used in and around the pool/spa area. These units float and can be left in the pool/spa water
for easy access.

WARNING: Do not use the Aqua Logic to control an automatic pool cover. Swim-
mers may become entrapped underneath the cover.
NOTE: If “Pool and Spa-Dual” is selected, Aux1 is dedicated to use as the spa filter. Its Name is set to Spa Filter, the
Function is set to Timeclock and Interlock is set to Disabled. These can’t be changed.
Aux1 Name
The Aqua Logic allows you to assign any one of a number of names (e.g. “Cleaner Pump,
Waterfall, Gazebo Light, etc.) to each of the aux outputs control function. This will make the
Aqua Logic much more user friendly to the homeowner when they want to turn various aux
equipment on or off or program the timeclocks. A sheet of small name labels is included with
the Aqua Logic main unit and each remote display/keypad so that the “Aux” pushbutton can
be labeled the same as the name that you have assigned. At this time it is also a good idea to
make sure that the relay in the control box is also labeled (hand written) with the same name
as a help to technicians who may service this system at a later date.
Aux1 Function
Manual On/Off (default)—the aux relay will alternate between turning on and off when the
aux button is pressed. There is no automatic control logic.
Countdown Timer – the aux relay will turn on when the AUX button is pressed and then will
turn off automatically after a programmed time (see Timers Menu in the Operations Manual).
The AUX button can also be used to turn the output off.
Low Speed of a 2-speed Filter Pump – the Aqua Logic will operate the aux relay whenever
the low speed operation of the filter pump is required. It is very important that the “2-speed”
filter pump option be selected under the “Filter Config.” Menu for proper operation.
2. Mounting the Equipment
Aqua Logic Control Center
The Aqua Logic is contained in a raintight enclosure that is suitable for outdoor mounting. The control must
be mounted a minimum of 5 ft. (2 meters) horizontal distance from the pool/spa (or more, if local codes
require). The Control Center is designed to mount vertically 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 the Aqua Logic inside a panel or tightly
enclosed area.
When selecting a location, note that the standard cables supplied with the Turbo Cell, flow switch, tem-
perature sensors, and valve actuators (if applicable) are all 15 ft. (5m) long. Call the Goldline Service
Dept. (888-921-7665) for information regarding longer cables.
PS-16 Expansion Unit
For the PS-16, the relays for Aux1-6 are contained in the Aqua Logic Control Center. The relays for
Aux7-14 are contained in the PS-16 Expansion Unit. Valve outputs 7-10, in the PS-16 Expansion Unit
follow the outputs of Aux7-10, respectively.
Temperature Sensors
Three sensors are included with the Aqua Logic. A water sensor and an air sensor must be installed at all
times for proper operation. A solar sensor is required if the solar function or “dual equipment” is enabled.
Water Sensor
This sensor is used to measure the pool/spa temperature and is installed in the filtration plumbing after the
filter but before either the solar or conventionally fueled heaters—refer to the plumbing overview diagram.
1. Drill a 3/8” (10mm) diameter hole in the PVC piping and remove all chips and burrs.
2. Insert sensor until O-ring collar sits flush on the hole.
3. Position hose clamp over the sensor and gently tighten until O-ring makes an adequate seal. Do not
overtighten.
4. For maximum temperature accuracy, cover the sensor and 3” (6cm) of pipe on either side with
insulation and white paint.
Air Sensor
Mount the air sensor outdoors.
!
IMPORTANT: Mount the air sensor out of direct sunlight.
Solar Sensor (Spa Sensor if using “Dual Equipment”)
For solar applications, mount the sensor near the solar collector array so that it is exposed to the same
sunlight as the collectors. For Dual Equipment applications, mount the sensor after the spa filter but before
the heater (see page 10). Use additional cable (20 AWG) if necessary.
Optional AQL-CL Chlorination Kit
The AQL-PS-4/8/16 models require the use of the AQL-CL or AQL-CL-25FT chlorination kit when
using the chlorinator function. This kit contains a Turbo Cell, cell unions and flow switch. Refer to pages 12
and 20 for plumbing and wiring instructions.
Optional Remote Controls
Goldline offers a variety of wired and wireless remote control options for the Aqua Logic. Each model
gives you the ability to control your pool’s functions from a remote location, away from the Control Center.
6
Timeclock – the aux relay will turn-on and turn-off at the times set for the aux timeclock in the
Timers Menu (see Operations Manual). The AUX button can also be used to turn the
output on and off.
Solar – the aux relay operates a solar booster pump which will turn on when the filter pump
is running and solar heat is available and the water is less than the desired temperature
setting. It is important to note that “Solar” must be enabled in the “Solar Config.” menu for
proper operation to occur.
Low Speed of a 2-Speed Spa Filter Pump – the Aqua Logic will turn on the aux relay
whenever the low speed operation of the Dual Equipment Spa filter pump is required. “Pool
and Spa-Dual” (located in Pool/Spa Setup menu) and “2-Speed” (located in Spa Filter Config.
menu) must be selected for proper operation.
Group – the aux relay operates when the Group function is initiated and shuts off when the
Group function is terminated. See Aux1 Group section for operation information for the
Group function.
Super Chlorinate – The Super Chlorinate function can be assigned to any Aux, Lights or
Valve button. This allows the user to simply hit a button to start a Super Chlorinate cycle,
rather than using the Settings Menu. Note that only one button can me assigned to this
function.
Aux1 Relay
This feature allows the user to select either “Standard” (default) or “Dimmer” type relay for
the Aux1 output. The optional AQL-DIM dimmer kit must be installed if “Dimmer” is desired.
When “Dimmer” is selected, and the Aux1 output is manually turned on, the “+” and “-”
buttons adjust the level from 20% to 100% (default). The level is saved for the next time the
aux1 output is turned from off to on.
Aux1 Interlock
If “Enabled”, this feature will override the function (Manual On/Off, Countdown Timer,
Timeclock), selected above and turn the aux1 off when: filter pump is off, first 3 minutes of
filter pump operation (allows the pump to prime and get water flowing), when the pool/spa
suction return valves are in any position other than “pool only”, or for the first 3 minutes
after solar turns on (allows air in the solar panels to be purged). Interlock is not available for
solar, low speed filter pump, dimmer, or group functions.
Aux1 Group
The Aux1 Group function allows the user to perform multiple tasks with a single push of the
“Aux1” button. When setting up a Group function, refer to page 22 for specific programming
information. There are two Group menus; the first menu determines how the group command
will be initiated (Manual On/Off, Countdown Timer, or Timeclock) and the second menu
selects the desired functions and their respective control parameters.
When activating Group functions, be aware that the most recent Group function that is
initiated will override any previous Group function.
Aux1 Freeze Protection
This function protects the pool, plumbing, and equipment against freeze damage. If Freeze
Protection is enabled and the AIR temperature sensor falls below the selected freeze protection
temperature, the Aqua Logic will turn on the aux relay to circulate the water. IMPORTANT:
this only enables operation of the AUX output during freeze--see the “Filter Pump Config.”
menu to enable freeze protection for the main circulation system. Freeze Protection is not
available for low speed filter pump, dimmer, or group functions.

Pool Sizing Formula
Type of Salt to Use
It is important to use only sodium chloride (NaCl) salt that is greater than 99.0% pure. This can be found
at most pool stores in 40-80 lb. bags labeled “for use in swimming pools”. Alternatively, use common food
quality or water softener salt that is at least 99.0% pure. It is also acceptable to use water conditioning salt
pellets, however, it will take longer for them to dissolve. Do not use rock salt, or salt with more than 1%
of yellow prussiate of soda, salt with anti-caking additives, or iodized salt.
How to Add Salt
For new plaster pools, wait 10-14 days before adding salt to allow the plaster to cure. Turn the circulating
pump on and add salt directly into the pool. Brush the salt around to speed up the dissolving process—do
not allow salt to pile up on the bottom of the pool. Run the filter pump for 24 hours with the suction coming
from the main drain (use pool vacuum if there is no main drain) to allow the salt to evenly disperse through-
out the pool. The salt display may take 24 hours to respond to the change in salt concentration.
Always check stabilizer (cyanuric acid), when checking salt. These levels will most likely decline together.
Use the chart below to determine how much stabilizer must be added to raise the level to 80 ppm.

The pool’s chemistry must be balanced BEFORE activating the Aqua Logic’s optional chlorinator func-
tion. NOTE: If the pool does not have new water, add metal remover and non-copper based algaecide
to the pool, per manufacturer’s instructions. This ensures a quick, troublefree transfer to the Aqua Logic
system.
Salt (When using optional chlorinator function - requires AQL-CL chlorination kit)
Salt Level
Use the chart below to determine how much salt in pounds or (Kgs) should be added to reach the recom-
mended levels. Use the equations on the following page (measurements are in feet/gallons and meters/
liters) if pool size is unknown.
The operating salt level is between 2700-3400 PPM (parts per million) with 3200 PPM being optimal.
Before adding any salt, test the salt level. This is especially important for retrofit installation to older pools
where all of the chlorine added to the pool over time is ending up as salt. If the level is low, determine the
number of gallons in the pool and add salt according to the chart below. A low salt level will reduce the
efficiency of the sanitization and result in low chlorine production. A high salt level can cause the Aqua
Logic to stop chlorinating. The salt in your pool/spa is constantly recycled and the loss of salt throughout
the swimming season should be minimal. This loss is due primarily to the addition of water because of
splashing, backwashing, or draining (because of rain). Salt is not lost due to evaporation.

Valve3 Function
Manual On/Off (default) – the valve3 relay will alternate between turning on and off when
the VALVE3 button is pressed. There is no automatic control logic. The VALVE3 button can
also be used to turn the valve output on or off.
Countdown Timer – the valve3 relay will turn on when the VALVE3 button is pressed and
then will turn off automatically after a programmed time (see Timers Menu in the Operations
Manual). The VALVE3 button can also be used to turn the output off.
Timeclock – the valve turns on/off at the times set for the valve3 timeclock in the Timers
Menu (see Operations Manual). The valve3 button can also be used to turn the valve output
on or off.
Solar – the valve operates when the filter pump is running and solar heat is available and the
water is less than the desired temperature setting. Solar heating must be enabled in the
“Solar Config. menu for proper operation to occur.
In-Floor Cleaner – the valve switches the water returning to the pool between the in-floor
cleaner and the normal return jets which facilitate efficient surface skimming. The valve will
operate the in-floor cleaner for the first half of each clock hour and then switch to the jets/
skimming for the last half of the hour.
Group – the valve operates when the Group function is initiated and shuts off when the
Group function is terminated. See valve3 Group section for operation information for the
Group function.
Super Chlorinate – The Super Chlorinate function can be assigned to any Aux, Lights or
Valve button. This allows the user to simply hit a button to start a Super Chlorinate cycle,
rather than using the Settings Menu. Note that only one button can me assigned to this
function.
Valve3 Interlock
If “Enabled”, this feature will override the function (timeclock, manual on/off, countdown
timer or in-floor cleaner) selected above and turn the valve off whenever the filter pump is off
or the pool/spa suction/return valves are set to “spa only” or “spillover” operation. Inter-
lock is not available with solar or group.
Valve3 Group
The valve3 Group function allows the user to perform multiple tasks with a single push of the
VALVE3 button. When setting up a Group function, refer to page 22 for specific programming
information. There are two Group menus; the first menu determines how the group command
will be initiated (Manual On/Off, Countdown Timer, or Timeclock) and the second menu
selects the desired functions and their respective control parameters.
When activating Group functions, be aware that the most recent Group function that is
initiated will override any previous Group function.
Valve3 Freeze Protection
This function protects the pool and plumbed equipment against freeze damage. If Freeze
Protection is enabled and the AIR temperature falls sensor falls below the selected freeze
protection temperature, the Aqua Logic will turn on the valve to allow circulation of the
water. IMPORTANT: this only enables operation of the valve3 output during freeze--see the
“Filter Pump Config.” menu to enable freeze protection for the main circulation system.
Freeze protection is not available for group functions.

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.

1. Preparing Pool/Spa Water
General Water Chemistry
Salt is required only if you are using the chlorinator features on the Aqua Logic Control. If you are NOT
using the chlorinator, it is recommended that you follow all of the other chemistry recommendations be-
sides salt. Refer to the description of the Aqua Logic configuration menu for information on enabling/
disabling the chlorinator (see page 23).
Water Chemistry
The table below summarizes the levels that are recommended by the Association of Pool and Spa Profes-
sionals (APSP). The only special requirements for the Aqua Logic are the salt level and stabilizer.
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 ±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.

Heater Checkout
Follow these instructions to verify that the Aqua Logic is properly controlling the heater.
1. Check that the Aqua Logic is calling for the heater to turn on as indicated by the “Heater” LED being
illuminated. If the “Heater” LED is illuminated, go directly to step 2; if not, then check the following:
• The heater is enabled (Configuration Menu/Heater Config.).
• The heater temperature setting is at least 2ºF greater than the water temperature (Settings Menu /
Pool Heater & Spa Heater).
• The filter pump is running.
• If the pool has solar heat and the solar priority feature is enabled (Configuration Menu/Solar
Config) then solar must be off in order for the heater to fire. The easiest way to force solar off is to
go to the Settings Menu / Pool Solar & Spa Solar and temporarily lower the temperature settings
below the current water temperature.
2. Check that the heater is running. If not, then check:
• Power is supplied to the heater.
• The Aqua Logic control output is properly connected to the heater control (see ”Heater Control”
wiring, page 15).
• Some heaters also have internal switches or jumpers that have to be set correctly for remote
control operation—refer to the heater manual and also “Heater Control” (page 15).
• Heater is turned on (“Kill Switch” is in the “ON” position).
• If a heater bypass valve is installed, check that water is flowing through the heater.
• The heater temperature setting is set as high as possible (usually 104ºF/40ºC). Also note that
some heat pumps actually have be set to the lowest possible temperature.
3. Once the heater is running, you can verify the “heater cooldown” feature (optional - see Configuration
Menu/Heater Config.) is operating properly:
• Press the “Filter” button once (for 2 speed pumps, this may require 2 pushes of the “Filter”
button).
• The heater should turn off (“Heater” LED off) and the “Filter” LED will flash to indicated heater
cooldown is active.
• The display will periodically indicate that the filter pump is on for heater cooldown and show the
minutes remaining.
• The pump will automatically turn off at the end of the 5 minute heater cooldown period.
For more detailed instructions on control and operation of the Aqua Logic system, refer to the Operation
Manual.
Service Mode
Service mode disables all automatic control operation and is intended to be used when servicing the pool
system. To enter service mode, push the SERVICE button once on the main unit keypad. This will initially
turn all outputs off and then allow you to turn outputs on/off manually at the main display (only). In service
mode, the buttons on the optional remote display/keypad and the optional spa side remote will turn
outputs off, but will not turn any output on. Heater control outputs and solar control outputs are prevented
from turning on if the water temperature exceeds 104ºF (40ºC).
Pushing the SERVICE button again will enter a timed service mode. Service operation as described
above will continue for 3 hours, then automatically return to normal operation.
Push the SERVICE button once more to exit out of Service mode.
