This article is currently incomplete. While this article is off to a good start, it still has room for major improvement. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results.

Description

AquaTrol is an affordable salt chlorine generating solution for above ground pools.[1]

  • For all residential above-ground pools up to 18,000 gallons.
  • Suitable for new above-ground pools or retrofit
  • Uses a T-5 cell[2]

The Aqua Trol is available with several different options. There are four different models of AquaTrol you can order combining three different options. The options are:

  • -HP option for when it will be connected with 1½"- 1¼" flexible hose or to 2" rigid PVC pipe
  • -RJ version when it will be mounted directly to the pool return jet
  • -TL version for a 120V/20A "twist lock" lin ecord. Otherwise the cell will come with a120V/15A "straight blade" line cord.

The four AquaTrol Models that can be ordered are:

  • AQ-Trol-HP "Straight blade" 120V/15A line cord/receptacle; 2" (51mm) rigid PVC piping or 1½ - 1¼" (38-32mm) flexible hose
  • AQ-Trol-HP-TL "Twist lock" 120/20A line cord/receptacle; 2" (51mm) rigid PVC piping or 1½ - 1¼" (38-32mm)flexible hose
  • AQ-Trol-RJ "Straight blade" 120V/15A line cord/receptacle; adapters for return jet mounting
  • AQ-Trol-RJ-TL"Twist lock" 120V/20A line cord/receptacle; adapters for return jet mounting

Troubleshooting

The Hayward Aquarite Troubleshooting Guidelines can be used with the AquaTrol. The AquaTrol is very similar to the Aquarite mainboard except for the timer and additional K3 relay which handles the AC power to the board.

See Hayward Aquarite SWG for additional details on board diagnostics and repairs.

How the Aquatrol board Works

  • The AquaTrol is very similar to the Aquarite mainboard except for the timer and additional K3 relay which handles the AC power to the board.
  • The K1 and K2 carry the DC low voltage (polarity reversal) to the salt cell.[3]
  • The K3 relay is for the timer.
  • Cell voltage of 31 volts on the display is indicative that the Caps are charged via thermistor. The voltage reading on the display is a mirror of the voltage passing through the load side of the Thermistor. And it is normal for the 31 volts reading on the display to go down depending on the cell type when either K1 or K2 relay is energized. If the cell reports did not satisfy the microcontroller, then it will instruct the relay to de-energize via U5 disconnecting power to the cell. Hence, chlorine production is suspended (0 amp, -0 salinity).[4]
