Aqua Logic product page
|
The Aqua Logic is a large, multifunction, high voltage control system.
For safety reasons, it is very important that the Aqua Logic be installed
per NEC and local electrical codes. In addition, the Aqua Logic must be
configured (programmed) to control the particular equipment on your pool.
We recommend that the Aqua Logic control box be installed by a licensed
electrician.

A Gold line Authorized Pool Builder or Dealer will be able to help you determine which model is best suited to control the equipment on your pool. The AQL-P-4 is the lowest cost entry level system has 4 high voltage relays (to control high voltage equipment such as pumps or lights), 3 valve actuators, and 1 heater. Wired in-house remote and a wireless spaside remote are available for use with the "P-4" unit. Wireless wall-mount remote and wireless table-top remote are only available for the "PS-x" series. The "P-4" system can be used on a pool only system or on a pool/spa combination that share a single filter pump and filter.
The AQL-PS-4, AQL-PS -8, and AQL-PS-16 systems are usually used on pool/spa
combination systems. They can be programmed to operate systems that share
a single pump and filter or they can operate complete dual
equipment. The last number in the model is the number of high
voltage relays. All "PS-x" systems can control up to 2 conventional
heaters (gas or heatpump) plus solar. The "PS-4" and "PS-8" systems also
control up to 4 valve actuators (2 for pool/spa suction and return plus 2
additional for general purpose use). The "PS-16" controls up to 8 valve
actuators. Goldline's complete line of wired and wireless remote
display/keypads and the wireless spaside remote are available for all "PS-x"
systems.
All Aqua Logic models are designed for easy upgrade to electronic (salt)
chlorination.

All Aqua Logic models can be configured to control 2-speed filter
pumps. Unlike other pool automation controls, no special relays are
required. However, the 2-speed filter pump will require the use of 2 of
the Aqua Logic's high voltage relays. The installation manual contain
complete instructions for configuring 2-speed pump operation and it is very
important the instructions be followed in order to prevent damage to either the
pump or control. Separate high speed and low speed time periods can be
programmed and also the you can manually control the pump with a single
button: Push once to turn the pump on in high speed mode, push again to
switch to low speed (the pump must run a minimum of 3 minutes at high speed in
order to properly prime), and finally push the button again to turn the filter
pump off.

The Aqua Logic can turn various outputs on when freezing temperatures
are detected. This function is fully programmable including which outputs
will turn on and also the temperature threshold. This freeze protection
is normally adequate for area that experience infrequent freezing conditions
with temperatures that don't dip to far below 32ºF (0ºC). For all other
systems, the pools should be shut down per normal procedures for the winter.

This can easily be accomplished by enabling the "interlock" feature
while configuring the control logic for the cleaner pump relay. "Interlock"
will automatically turn the relay off when the filter pump is off; during
the first 3 minutes of filter pump operation (while the filter pump is
priming); during spa-only or spa spillover operation; and also for 3 minutes
when the solar heating turns on (to prevent the air that is being purged
from the solar panels to cause the cleaner pump to lose its prime).
Once this function in programmed as part of the system configuration, you'll
never have to worry again!

Yes, all models are compatible with optional wired remote display/keypads
designed to be mounted on a wall inside the house. Up to 3 of these
remote can be wired up to 500" away from the pool equipment pad.
In addition, the "PS-x" models also have optional wireless wall-mount
and wireless table-top display/keypads. The table-top unit has rechargeable
batteries that make it fully portable--it can be temporarily taken outside
near the pool but it is not waterproof and must be protected from splashing
and rain. All Aqua Logic display/keypads allow you to see the
complete status of your pool/spa, program automatic features, or manually
override any program with the simple press of a button.

Yes, all models are compatible with optional wireless spaside remote (AQL-SS-RF). These are remote are designed to be left in the spa--they're waterproof and they float! You can manually control the filter pump, valves, lights and 2 auxiliary function from this remote.
In addition, the "PS-x" models also have optional wireless table top display/keypad with rechargeable batteries that make it fully portable--it can be temporarily taken outside near the pool but it is not waterproof and must be protected from splashing and rain. The Aqua Logic table-top display/keypad allows you to see the complete status of your pool/spa, program automatic features, or manually override any program with the simple press of a button.

Yes, all Aqua Logic models have the built-in electronics necessary
--simply purchase the optional AQL-CL kit consisting of the Turbo Cell and flow
switch and your Aqua Logic system will supply all of the chlorine needs for
your pool (up to 40,000 gallons).
Back To Top
Yes, if your pool is larger than the rated 40,000 gallon capacity,
additional Aqua Rite Electronic Chlorine Generators
can be wired to the filter pump relay. Each Aqua Rite chlorinator will
sanitize an additional 40,000 gallons. If you need help determining the gallons

No and no. The high voltage outputs for controlling pool
automation are in addition to the heater and chlorinator functions.

The AQL-P-4 model can control a single conventional heater (gas or
heatpump). The AQL-PS-x models can all control up to 2 conventional
heaters. All Aqua Logic systems can also programmed to control a solar
pool heating system in addition to the conventional heaters.
The Aqua Logic can be programmed for separate pool and spa temperatures for
each heater. Also each heater can be programmed "OFF". A
typical use for these feature might be a pool/spa combination system where the
gas heater is used to rapidly heat the spa (the gas heater is programmed "OFF"
for pool operation) while the heatpump is used to economically heat the pool
(the heatpump is programmed "OFF" for spa operation). The Aqua Logic is
designed with flexibility to allow you to control your pool/spa almost
any way you can imagine.
The programmable "heater cooldown" function will keep the
filter pump running for a short period after the heater(s) turn on to allow
the heater core to cool down to air temperature.
For pools that are being heated by heatpumps, the Aqua Logic can be programmed
with the "heater extend" feature that will keep the filter pump running past
its normal turn-off time if the pool is not up the desired temperature.
This will keep the heatpump working as long as is required in order to heat the
pool.
Back To Top
Yes, the Aqua Logic can control solar heating systems that utilize
either a valve (you will need to purchase a valve actuator) or a booster pump.
Individual temperature settings can be programmed for the pool and spa. In
addition, the Aqua Logic can be configured with advanced solar control features
such as "solar extend" that will keep the filter pump running at the end of the
normal filtration time if solar heat is still available; and "solar priority"
that will automatically disable the conventional heater(s) when solar is
available in order to ensure that solar handles the majority of the heating
load.
