Spring Start-Up - Hayward AQUA RITE pro Guia Del Usuario

stop growing at this temperature. You can override this low temperature cutoff by using the
Super Chlorinate function for a day.
Prevent overchlorination during cold weather: Check chlorine levels periodically. Most pools
require less chlorine during cold weather and the desired output % setting should be lowered
accordingly.
Maintaining the AquaRite Pro System
To maintain maximum performance, it is recommended that you open and visually inspect the
cell every 3 months or after cleaning your filter. The AquaRite Pro will remind you to do this
by displaying the message "Inspect/Clean Cell" after approximately 500 hours of operation.
The AquaRite Pro electrolytic cell has a self cleaning feature incorporated into the electronic
control's logic. In most cases this self cleaning action will keep the cell working at optimum
efficiency. In areas where water is hard (high mineral content) and in pools where the water
chemistry has been allowed to get "out of balance", the cell may require periodic cleaning.
Servicing and Cleaning the AquaRite Pro Cell
Turn off power to the AquaRite Pro before removing the electrolytic cell. Once removed, look
inside the cell and inspect for scale formation (light colored crusty or flaky deposits) on the plates
and for any debris which has passed through the filter and caught on the plates. If no deposits are
visible, reinstall. If deposits are seen, use a high pressure garden hose and try to flush the scale
off. If this is not successful, use a plastic or wood tool (do not use metal as this will scratch the
coating off the plates) and scrape deposits off of plates. Note that a buildup on the cell indicates
that there is an unusually high calcium level in the pool (old pool water is usually the cause). If
this is not corrected, you may to have to periodically clean the cell. The simplest way to avoid
this is to bring the pool chemistry to the recommended levels as specified.
Mild Acid Washing: Use only in severe cases where flushing and scraping will not remove the
majority of deposits. To acid wash, turn off power to AquaRite Pro. Remove cell from piping.
In a clean plastic container, mix a solution of water to acetic or phosphoric acid (Like descaler
for coffee machine). ALWAYS ADD ACID TO WATER - NEVER ADD WATER TO ACID.
Be sure to wear rubber gloves and appropriate eye protection. The level of the solution in the
container should just reach the top of the cell so that the wire harness compartment is NOT
submerged. It may be helpful to coil the wiring before immersing the cell. The cell should
soak for a few minutes and then rinse with a high pressure garden hose. If any deposits are still
visible, repeat soaking and rinsing. Replace cell and inspect again periodically.
Winterizing
The AquaRite Pro electrolytic cell and flow detection switch will be damaged by freezing
water just as your pool plumbing would. In areas of the country which experience severe or
extended periods of freezing temperatures, be sure to drain all water from the pump, filter, and
supply and return lines before any freezing conditions occur. The electronic control is capable
of withstanding any winter weather and should not be removed.

DO NOT turn the AquaRite Pro on, until the pool water chemistry has been brought to the proper
levels. This information can be found on page 2
