Follow these instructions to verify that theAqua Logic is properly controlling the heater.

1.Check that theAqua Logic is calling for the heater to turn on as indicated by the “Heater” LED being illuminated. If the “Heater” LED is illuminated, go directly to step 2; if not, then check the following:

•The heater is enabled (Configuration Menu/Heater Config.)

•The heater temperature setting is at least 2ºF greater than the water temperature (Settings Menu / Pool Heater & Spa Heater)

•The filter pump is running

•If the pool has solar heat and the solar priority feature is enabled (Configuration Menu/Solar Config) then solar must be off in order for the heater to fire. The easiest way to force solar off is to go to the Settings Menu / Pool Solar & Spa Solar and temporarily lower the temperature settings below the current water temperature.

2.Check that the heater is running. If not, then check:

•Power is supplied to the heater.

•TheAqua Logic control output is properly connected to the heater control (see”Heater Control” wiring, page 13)

•Some heaters also have internal switches or jumpers that have to be set correctly for remote control operation—refer to the heater manual and also “Heater Control” (page 13)

•Heater is turned on (“Kill Switch” is in the “ON” position)

•If a heater bypass valve is installed, check that water is flowing through the heater

•The heater temperature setting is set as high as possible (usually 104ºF/40ºC). Also note that some heatpumps actually have be set to the lowest possible temperature.
