SYSTEM OVERVIEW System Overview Although the Pool Pilot is easy to use, it is important to read through the manual before attempting to operate the unit. The Pool Pilot Digital, #75003, is a salt chlorination system for pool or spa purification, which is designed to operate in the following configurations: • Purifier – standard mode, manually adjusted purifier output. See pg. 27 for system operation and programming. • Purifier and pH Control – optional mode – standard purifier mode oper

SYSTEM OVERVIEW pH Control Mode (Manual purifier and pH control) Note: Requires option # 75004, 75005, 75006, or 75007 pH Acid Feed Pump and Tank System must be installed with the #75003 Digital Controller for this mode to function. Option # 75008 Auxiliary Relay Kit will be necessary if the Digital is used to control the main circulation pump. This mode adds to the Purifier mode by using an Acid feed pump that is user programmed for manual feed of diluted muriatic acid. The Acid Feed Pum

PREPARING THE POOL WATER Salt Addition Chart The following salt chart is included for reference only. Once your Pool Pilot Digital is properly programmed to the pool water volume, it will automatically indicate how much salt is needed. To use this chart: 1. Find your current salt level (ppm or g/l) in the left column. (This can be obtained from your Pool Pilot display or by testing your water.) 2. Find your pool/spa volume in the second row (Gallons or Liters). 3. Find the amount of sa

PREPARING THE POOL WATER Basic Water Chemistry Your Pool Pilot Digital is designed to produce chlorine on a daily basis. To monitor your system’s efficiency, the water chemistry ranges and schedule of periodic checks outlined below should be followed. CHEMICAL IDEAL RANGE IDEAL TEST EFFECT OF LOW/HIGH LEVELS CORRECTIVE ACTIONS SCHEDULE Free Chlorine 1.0 To 3.0 ppm Weekly Low free chlorine: Not enough residual Low free chlorine: Check for chlorine to safely sanitize pool water. combi

PREPARING THE POOL WATER Saturation Index (SI) The Saturation Index is a formula used to predict the calcium carbonate saturation of water, that is, whether your water will precipitate, dissolve, or be in equilibrium with calcium carbonate. Your water is properly balanced if the SI is 0 ± 0.3. If your SI is greater than 0.3, scaling and staining will occur. If your SI is less than -0.3, then the water is corrosive to metallic fixtures and aggressive to plaster surfaces and vinyl liners.

INSTALLATION Plumbing Requirements The Manifold Assembly is 2” Schedule 40 and is typically plumbed into the pool return line and, if applicable, after the heater and spa return diverter valve. Electrical Requirements Power must be shut off at the circuit breaker before performing any wiring. All local and NEC electrical codes should be followed. The Pool Pilot Digital has been factory configured for 230Vac operation. If it needs to be reconfigured for 115Vac operation, then see Con

INSTALLATION Plumbing the Manifold Assembly Step 1: Select the location for installing the manifold: The manifold is designed for a flow rate of 20 to 100 gpm (76 to 379 L/m). • It is recommended that the manifold be installed prior to installation of the control unit. The Control Unit will need to be installed close enough to the Manifold Assembly so that the Tri-Sensor and SuperCell Cables (12’ long) will have enough slack so that the cables can be serviced easily. • The manifold/cel

INSTALLATION Mounting the #75003 Pool Pilot Digital Control Unit Caution: All electrical connections should be made by a licensed electrician or certified electrical contractor. Your Pool Pilot Digital is suitable for indoor or outdoor mounting. If it is connected to 230 Vac, it must be installed at least 5’ (1.5m) horizontal distance from the pool or spa wall (or more if local codes require). If it is connected to 115 Vac, it must be installed at least 10’ (3m) horizontal distance fro

INSTALLATION Electrical Connections The Pool Pilot Digital uses both high and low voltage connections. High voltage connections will be made for providing the direct input power to it. Additional high voltage connections may be made to the filter pump from the Pool Pilot Digital. Low voltage connections will be made to the Tri-Sensor and SuperCell. Additional low voltage connections are provided for optional equipment such as #75008 pH feeder, #75001 Pool Chemistry Controller, or an ORP

INSTALLATION High Voltage Wiring Connecting Power to the Pool Pilot Digital The Pool Pilot Digital is typically provided input power in one of two ways. Determine which is best for your application. • AC input directly from a circuit breaker, time clock, or pump relay in an electronic controller: This method is used when the AC power to the pump and Pool Pilot will be turned on and off by an external device such as a circuit breaker, time clock, or electronic controller. • AC input di
