WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock. All electrical wiring MUST be in conformance with applicable local codes,
regulations, and the National Electric Code (NEC). Hazardous voltage can shock, burn, and cause death or serious property
damage. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do NOT use an extension cord to connect unit to electric supply. Provide a properly
located electrical receptacle. Before working on any electrical equipment, turn off power supply to the equipment. To reduce
the risk of electric shock replace damaged wiring immediately. Locate conduit to prevent abuse from lawn mowers, hedge
trimmers and other equipment. Do NOT ground to a gas supply line.
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock Failure to ground all electrical equipment can cause serious or fatal electrical shock
hazard. Electrical ground all electrical equipment before connecting to electrical power supply.
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock Failure to bond all electrical equipment to pool structure will increase risk for
electrocution and could result in injury or death. To reduce the risk of electric shock, see installation instructions and consult a
professional electrician on how to bond all electrical equipment. Also, contact a licensed electrician for information on local
electrical codes for bonding requirements.
Notes to electrician: Use a solid copper conductor, size 8 or larger. Run a continuous wire from external bonding lug to
reinforcing rod or mesh. Connect a No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) [No. 6 AWG (13.3 mm2) for Canada] solid copper bonding wire to the
pressure wire connector provided on the electrical equipment and to all metal parts of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub, and metal
piping (except gas piping), and conduit within 5 ft. (1.5 m) of inside walls of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub.
IMPORTANT - Reference NEC codes for all wiring standards including, but not limited to, grounding, bonding and other general
wiring procedures.
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock . The electrical equipment must be connected only to a supply circuit that is
protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a
routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push reset button. Power should be
restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the electrical equipment
without the test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an electrical shock. Do not use this
electrical equipment. Disconnect the electrical equipment and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative
before using.
CAUTION – HAYWARD® pumps are intended for use with permanently-installed pools and may be used with hot tubs and
spas if so marked. Do not use with storable pools. A permanently-installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a
building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage. A storable pool is constructed so that it is capable of being
readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity.
WARNING – Risk of Hyperthermia. To avoid hyperthermia the following “Safety Rules for Hot Tubs” are recommended by
the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
1. Spa or hot tub water temperatures should never exceed 104°F [40°C]. A temperature of 100°F [38°C] is
considered safe for a healthy adult. Special caution is suggested for young children. Prolonged immersion in
hot water can induce hyperthermia.
2. Drinking of alcoholic beverages before or during spa or hot tub use can cause drowsiness, which
could lead to unconsciousness and subsequently result in drowning.
3. Pregnant women beware! Soaking in water above 100°F [38°C] can cause fetal damage during the
first three months of pregnancy (resulting in the birth of a brain-damaged or deformed child). Pregnant women
should adhere to the 100°F [38°C] maximum rule.
4. Before entering the spa or hot tub, users should check the water temperature with an accurate ther-
mometer; spa or hot tub thermostats may err in regulating water temperatures by as much as 4°F (2.2°C).
5. Persons taking medications, which induce drowsiness, such as tranquilizers, antihistamines or anti-
coagulants, should not use spas or hot tubs.
6. If the pool/spa is used for therapy, it should be done with the advice of a physician. Always stir pool/ spa
water before entering the pool/spa to mix in any hot surface layer of water that might exceed healthful
temperature limits and cause injury. Do not tamper with controls, because scalding can result if safety controls
are not in proper working order.
7. Persons with a medical history of heart disease, circulatory problems, diabetes or blood pressure
problems should obtain a physicians advice before using spas or hot tubs.
8. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above
normal body temperature of 98.6°F [37°C]. The symptoms of Hyperthermia include: drowsiness, lethargy,
dizziness, fainting, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body.
The effects of Hyperthermia include:
1. Unawareness of impending danger.
2. Failure to perceive heat.
3. Failure to recognize the need to leave the spa.
4. Physical inability to exit the spa.
5. Fetal damage in pregnant women.
6. Unconsciousness resulting in danger of drowning.

OPERATION:
The Muriatic acid is stored in the 15 gallon storage tank below the pump. DO NOT OVER FILL as
the tank only holds 15 gallons. The Muriatic acid is pumped from the tank utilizing a 3/8” pick up
tube to the pump, through the small tube, and then to the Return to Pool Line.
This system is designed for:
• Muriatic Acid (HCl)
Hayward recommends dilution rates of:
• 1 gallon of Muriatic acid to 3 gallons of water with Pools
• 1 gallon of Muriatic acid to 5 gallons of water with Spas
ALWAYS ADD ACID TO WATER NOT WATER TO ACID!
REPLACING THE FEED TUBE:
The Santoprene feed tube should be replaced every 3 to 6 months
1. Disconnect the pump from the power supply.
2. Remove the faceplate. (Note: the bearing [transaxle] will be seated in front of the roller.
Gently pull the faceplate and the bearing assembly until it is unseated. Be careful not to
lose the bearing assembly, attached to the back of the faceplate, or the screws.
3. Turn the roll holder clockwise, so that the bottom roller is equally spaced between the
intake and discharge fittings.
DANGER Chemical Hazard: Muriatic Acid (liquid and mist) can cause burns, may be fatal if
swallowed or inhaled. Inhalation can cause lung damage.
To avoid death or serious injury:
• Wear eye and skin protection while maintaining or servicing this unit.
• Wear compatible rubber gloves.
• Use in a well ventilated area.
4. Unscrew the compression nuts over the blue tubing and remove the tubing from the feed
tube fittings.
5. Lift and remove the feed tube fitting on the lower left side (inlet) of the pump from its seat
by sliding it away from the tank. Lift and remove the feed tube fitting on the lower right
side (outlet) of the pump from its seat by sliding it away from the tank.
6. Manually rotate the roller clockwise, while lifting the feed tube, until the feed tube comes
away from the pump.
To install a new feed tube:
1. Manually rotate the roller clockwise until the rollers are at the 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock
positions.
2. Insert the curved side of the new feed tube into its seat on the left side of the pump.
3. Manually rotate the roller clockwise while pushing on the feed tube until the right side of
the feed tube is easily inserted into its seat. (Curved side first.)
4. Re-install the faceplate, starting at the top and pressing the bearing into the countersink
on the roller assembly. Install the two screws.
5. Unscrew the compression nut on the feed tube left side (inlet). Slide the nut over the 6”
long blue tubing going to the pickup tube. Install the tubing over the male compression
portion of the feed tube fitting. Firmly hand tighten the nut.
6. Unscrew the compression nut on the feed tube right side (outlet). Slide the nut over the
long blue tubing going to the return to pool check valve. Install the tubing over the male
compression portion of the feed tube fitting. Firmly hand tighten the nut.

Controller Interface:
To protect the pool, the AquaRite Pro and the Pro Logic controller will automatically shut down pH control and
display a “Check System” message if the AQL-CHEM4-ACID dispensing device runs continuously for more than
the selected timeout value. This prevents a situation where the AquaRite Pro or the Pro Logic controller is
constantly feeding pH reducer (Muriatic acid) because of a probe error or external problem with the pool. This
allows the pool or spa owner to evaluate the pool chemistry before continuing with pH control.
Winterization -
1. Remove pump pick up tube from tank.
2. Insert pick up tube into 5 gallon bucket of water.
3. Run pump to flush water and acid out of the feed lines and into the pool.
4. Use the 5 gallon bucket of water and allow the pump to feed until the bucket is empty. Continue to run
the pump for a period of 10-15 minutes after the bucket is empty. This will run the lines dry by forcing air
through them.
5. Backwash the pickup tube and filter. (This cleans the filter)
6. Drain and reinstall pick up tube or secure to side of tank.
Hydrochloric/Muriatic acid can be stored outside or inside a secure and ventilated area/location for the winter.
Typical Pool Hydrochloric/Muriatic acid has a freezing point of -15° F or -26° C.
Typical Pool Hydrochloric/Muriatic acid has a boiling point of 220° F or 93° C.
If disposal of Hydrochloric/Muriatic Acid is required from tank please contact your local environmental protection
agency for instructions.
If disposal of Hydrochloric/Muriatic Acid is required from tank please follow the steps below carefully:
DANGER Chemical Hazard: Muriatic Acid and Chlorine (liquid and mist) can cause severe
burns, may be fatal if swallowed or inhaled. Inhalation can cause server lung damage.
1. Protect yourself. Concentrated solutions can be very corrosive and a concentrated batch will released dangerous
hydrogen chloride vapor. Wear safety glasses and gloves. Find an area with good ventilation before dealing with the
acid. Cover your arms and legs with a lab coat or any protective long-sleeved clothes if dealing with concentrated
solution.
2. Prepare a base mix to negate acidity. Mix a 1 lb. box of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) with lots of water. Leave some
of the sodium visible at the bottom. Slowly add in the acid. Wait for the reaction, most likely fizzing, to stop. Add in more
sodium carbonate if the acid still fizzles.
3. Pour the acid. Tiny amounts of diluted hydrochloric/muriatic acid can be flushed down the sink with large quantities of
water. Local law may forbid even this. According to some local environmental protection agencies, you cannot dispose of
it down the drain or in the trash unless it's neutralized. Contact your local officials to verify what is allowable in your
state.
4. Transport acid to a waste management plant. The facilities often use hydrochloric acid. Phone your local waste
management center to see if they can carry it.
