Timer
The pool filter pump should run long enough to circulate the entire volume of pool
water each day. This will vary depending on pump size, pool plumbing and pool
size. Consult a local pool store to help determine the appropriate run time for your
pool.
Set the Aqua Trol's timer by rotating the clock hands in a clockwise direction. The
arrow (positioned approximately 2 o'clock on dial) points to the current time. The
internal "hands" show time at a glance. On the outside of the timer, there are a
series of small slide trippers. Each tripper controls a 15 minute interval. Set the
trippers for the desired run time.
OFF - Push trippers IN (toward center)
ON - Pull trippers OUT (away from center)
Manual Control
There is a switch on the timer (located at approximately the 4 o'clock position) that
allows the pump to be manually turned on or off.
"1" (up) - pump ON
" " (center) - timer controls pump
"0" (down) - pump OFF
Main Switch
AUTO: For normal operation, the Main Switch should be left in the AUTO
position. In this position the Aqua Trol
®
will produce chlorine according to the
"Desired Level %" adjustment setting for the entire filtering/pumping cycle.
SUPER CHLORINATE: When you have an abnormally high bather load, a
large amount of rain, a cloudy water condition, or any other condition which
needs a large amount of purification to be introduced, put the Main Switch in
the SUPER CHLORINATE position. This electronically “super chlorinates”
(shocks) the water for 24 hours (filter pump must be on during this time) or until
the power has been turned off, whichever comes first. At the end of the super
chlorinate time, be sure to put the switch back into the AUTO position.
OFF: The OFF position prevents the Aqua Trol from energizing the electrolytic
cell. In this position there is no chlorine generation. NOTE: To service any of
the pool equipment or the Aqua Trol, turn the power off at the circuit breaker.
"Desired Level %" adjustment knob
This setting is used to control the amount of chlorine the Aqua Trol generates.
Raise this setting to increase chlorine level and lower it to decrease chlorine level.
Indicator LED's
POWER When illuminated, the Aqua Trol has input power.
GENERATING This LED is on steady during normal operation. When flash-
ing, the pool water is too hot or cold to operate.
SUPER CHLORINATE Illuminates during Super Chlorination. See description
above.

Installation
Installation must be performed in accordance with Local and NEC codes.
Preparing Pool Water
Refer to page 2 for recommended chemical levels. The pool's chemistry must be
balanced BEFORE activating the Aqua Trol. NOTE: If the pool does not have new
water, add 1 quart (1 liter) of metal remover and 1 quart (1 liter) of non-copper based
algaecide to the pool, per manufacturers instructions. This ensures a quick,
troublefree transfer to the Aqua Trol system.
Mounting the Aqua Trol Control
The Aqua Trol 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 (or more if local codes require) from the pool.
The control is designed to mount vertically on a flat surface. 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 Trol in a panel or tight
enclosed area.
