IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: READ MANUAL BEFORE

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION:This manual contains

important information on the installation, use, and safety recommendations for

the SpaPilot®. It is your responsibility to install and use the SpaPilot®safely.

WARNING: Failure to heed the following may result in injury or death:

Disconnect all AC power when installing or servicing this system. If the

supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced immediately by the

manufacturer or a qualified service representative. Follow all state,

local, and National Electrical Code(s) (provincial and Canadian

Electrical Code(s) if applicable).

The SpaPilot®must be connected only to a supply circuit that is

protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified

electrician if you cannot verify that the circuit is protected by a GFCI.

The GFCI must be tested on a routine basis. To test, push the GFCI test

button. Power should be interrupted. Push the reset button. Power

should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, it is

defective. If the ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI) interrupts power

to the equipment without the test button being pushed, a ground current

is flowing and there is a possibility of an electrical shock. Do not use

equipment. Disconnect the equipment and have the problem corrected

by a qualified service representative before using.

SpaPilot®models that use an AC/DC adaptor require the AC/DC

adaptor be installed on a GFCI protected outlet with an approved

weather protective shielded enclosure that covers the adaptor.

Do not open the SpaPilot®control unit or power adapter. There are no

owner/user-serviceable components inside. Repairs must not be

attempted by untrained and/or unqualified individuals. If service is

deemed necessary, contact the installing dealer or AquaCal AutoPilot

Customer Support.

Do not immerse. The SpaPilot®control unit is not intended for

submersion, but may be installed in the spa zone. The SpaPilot®control

unit must be located or fixed so that it cannot fall into the spa.

Suitably rated CERTIFIED/APPROVED power supply cord, plug and

strain relief or cable gland appropriate for the applicable country are

intended to be installed and replaced by a manufacturer’s authorized

agent or qualified personnel.

Removable, Over the Wall type, cell should be lifted out of the spa and

stored out of the way when the spa is occupied. Do not drop, throw, or

otherwise mishandle the cell. Place the cell back in spa when

unoccupied. (This warning does not apply to the “Inline”cell.)

Children must be closely supervised at all times around the spa and spa

equipment. Children should be supervised so that they do not play with

the SpaPilot®Unit, Bromine/Chlorine Cell, or the wireless remote.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This unit (including the wireless remote) is not to be operated by

children. Likewise, the SpaPilot®remote should be mounted or stored

so that it is not accessible by the same.

The SpaPilot®unit (including the wireless remote) is intended to be

installed, operated and maintained by qualified/trained personnel

without reduced physical, sensory and mental capabilities.

The proper residual of chlorine or bromine and water parameters must

be maintained. Improper water parameters can present a serious health

hazard. See the section, Recommended Water Parameters, on page 3.

This is not an automatic water care system. The spa owner/user is

ultimately responsible for maintaining proper sanitary water conditions.

The user must regularly test the spa water to ensure that adequate

levels of bromine or chlorine are generated to achieve proper sanitizer

levels.

Heavy spa usage and higher water temperatures may require a higher

SpaPilot®output or manual shocking in order to maintain proper free

available chlorine / bromine residuals.

Supplemental sanitation may be needed under some conditions such

as:

oThe “Inline” cell unit is required to operate only when the filtration

pump is running. SpaPilot®sanitizer output may be reduced when

the filtration pump operation is reduced.

oThe “Over the Wall”cell will not generate sanitizer when it is

removed during spa usage.

For proper sanitation, spas must be completely drained periodically.

oReplacement Interval (days) = (Spa Gallons ÷ 3) ÷ Average Users

per day

For example: 300 gallon spa used by 2 adults 2 times a day 2

times a week 

=󰇛  )÷ 󰇛

󰇜

= 88 days

oOr Replacement Interval (days) = (Spa Liters ÷ 11.35) ÷ Average

Users per day

For example: 1000 liter spa used by 2 adults 1 time a day 5

times a week 

= (1000 ÷ 11.35) ÷ 󰇡

󰇢= 62 days

oRefill spa with water and prepare the spa water for use again. See

the section, Spa Water Preparation, on page 2.

Users should always shower before entering the spa.

Filter cartridges should be cleaned or replaced at regular intervals;

otherwise part of the sanitizer created by the SpaPilot®will only serve to

oxidize the accumulated dirt trapped in the filter.

Check the expiration dates of test strips/kits. Test results may be

inaccurate after expiration dates.

To avoid damaging splashes, always add acid to water, never water to

acid. Wear safety glasses and use other appropriate personal protection

equipment.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Always follow the instructions on the manufacturer's label whenever

handling or using chemicals.

Leave spa cover open for at least 30 seconds prior to use to allow the

escape of trapped gases.

The SpaPilot®cell may be cleaned manually by the owner if needed.

Hazardous fumes/liquids could be present during this process. Remove

power from unit before cleaning. Determine your cell type and then refer

to the appropriate procedure, Cleaning the Over the Wall (Convection) Cell

procedure on page 25, Cleaning the Inline Cell,on page 26.

CAUTION: Failure to heed the following may result in equipment

damage not covered under warranty:

The SpaPilot®must be installed and operated as specified in this

manual.

Maintain water parameters as listed in this manual. Cell life may be

shortened due to excessive scale (calcium) formation in the cell if pH,

Total Alkalinity, and Calcium Hardness guidelines are not followed.

Never use sharp or metallic objects to remove calcium build-up.

Scraping or scratching the titanium blades will damage the cell’s

catalyst coating, causing premature failure of the SpaPilot®cell. Follow

the directions in this manual for properly cleaning the SpaPilot®cell.

Operating the SpaPilot®at reduced salt levels or with low water

temperatures will shorten the life of the cell.

Water must be drained from the SpaPilot®cell when winterizing the spa.

Do not operate the wireless remote while in the spa. The wireless

remote is not waterproof. Do not submerge the remote. The SpaPilot®

wireless remote should be located and/or used in a manner so that it

cannot fall into the spa.

Only sodium bromide and sodium chloride salt products approved for

use in pools/spas should be used. Do not allow granular salt to pile up

in one location as staining of the spa may occur. Circulate water until

the salt is dissolved.

Maintaining excessively high bromine, chlorine, sodium chloride, or

sodium bromide levels above the recommended range may contribute

to the corrosion or damage of the spa or the spa components.

SpaPilot®operation with UV or ozone units is not recommended.

The SpaPilot® is intended for use on covered spas, not swimming pools.

The SpaPilot® is intended to operate at an altitude of less than 6500 ft

(2000 m) above sea level.

PRODUCT DISPOSAL: The SpaPilot® unit must be disposed separately in

accordance with the local waste disposal legislation in force.

HOW THE SPAPILOT® WORKS

Salt is dissolved in the water. Sodium Chloride is used for Chlorine

Production. Sodium Bromide is used for Bromine Production. The salt

concentration level is normally maintained below the taste threshold.

The SpaPilot® automatically converts the salt into a sanitizer.

The sanitizer reverts back to salt after treating the water. The salt is not

consumed.

Salt is only lost when spa water is replaced, overflows, splashes out or

leaks. A small amount may also be lost on bathers or their apparel.

SPA WATER PREPARATION

ADD WATER

1) Fill the spa with clean water and heat it to at least 80°F (27°C).

2) Test the water using an AquaChek®Spa 6-in-1 test strip.Check for pH,

Total Alkalinity and Calcium Hardness. Obtain the following water

parameters using additives recommended by your spa manufacturer.

ADD SALT

1) For chlorine generation (Chlorinator) add pool salt (sodium chloride).

For bromine generation (Brominator) add either 99% pure sodium

bromide or a combination of sodium chloride and 99% pure sodium

bromide. [The SpaPilot® system will create a bromine residual

(Brominator) when the combination mixture is used. Sodium chloride is

much less expensive than sodium bromide. Using option 2 below (a

mixture of sodium chloride and sodium bromide) will still provide all of

the benefits of a Brominator but at a lower cost for salt.]

2) Confirm the water circulation pump remains on until the salt has fully

dissolved.

3) If after adding salt you see a red salt LED on your SpaPilot®, test the

level of salt (sodium chloride) in the spa; use an AquaChek®Salt test

strip. To test the level of sodium bromide; use an AquaChek®Sodium

Bromide Test strip (not included).

If salt level is low, then add additional salt.

If salt level is high, then partially drain the spa and refill to dilute

salt.

Always fill spa completely before measuring salt level. (Evaporation

will increase salt concentration; dilution will reduce.)
