POOLWARDEN OVERVIEW
ControlOMatic, with over 20 years of technological leadership in Pool & Spa Chemical Control Systems,
congratulates you on your selection of the PoolWarden Chemical Controller. PoolWarden measures pH,
sanitizer and temperature on up to two bodies of water and will control the appropriate feed equipment to keep
the measurements within a preprogrammed range. Using ORP (oxidation reduction potential) technology the
control of sanitizer takes into account the effects of pH, and a pH lockout feature is also included for high pH
values. Supporting both 110 and 220 VAC, the PoolWarden will control chemical feed equipment using relays
to keep the pool or spa water in balance. Water measurements are taken continuously while PoolWarden's
internal relay programing determines if chemical adjustments are needed. PoolWarden then communicates
the adjustment signals through relays which control the chemical feed equipment. PoolWarden also contains
additional dry-contact auxiliary relays that can be used to control heaters, pumps, chlorine backup and
external alarm notifications.
SYSTEM COMPONENTS
⧫CONTROLLER: PoolWarden is a microprocessor based, modular automation system that is
capable of continuous monitoring locally onsite or remotely offsite.
⧫INTERFACE: PoolWarden uses a 16-button built in keypad, and an easy to read 80 character
liquid crystal display. The display’s internal back-light provides controller viewing in pool rooms with low
light conditions. Back-light illumination time can be adjusted to suit the operator.
⧫MEMORY: PoolWarden is designed with nonvolatile memory which preserves all internal programming in
case of power loss. Internal memory is preserved for up to 10 years without having power applied.
⧫RELAYS: PoolWarden S (single pool) includes 4 relays (2 of which are dry contact relays). PoolWarden
D (two pools) includes 8 relays. Four of the 8 relays are dry contact relays (2 for each body of water).
⧫SENSORS: ORP Sensor, pH Sensor, Temperature Sensor and Flow Sensor.
⧫VOLTAGE: PoolWarden is designed with an ON/OFF switch and requires 120 VAC Input Voltage to
operate.
⧫SECURITY: PoolWarden is designed with a lockable enclosure and provides up to four levels of password
security protection (Admin, Tech, Service and Guest) for both local onsite and remote offsite interaction
with the controller.
⧫COMMUNICATION: PoolWarden can connect to the Internet for direct monitoring, setup, and data
interface via a WIFI or Ethernet option.
⧫DATA: PoolWarden will record up to 8192 lines of data with the built in internal memory.
⧫HEATERS: Auxiliary relays can control pool heaters with up to two set-points for each day to facilitate
energy management.
⧫PUMP CONTROL: Auxiliary relays can be setup as a simple timer for controlling the on/off state of
main pumps.
⧫OVERFEED PROTECTION: PoolWarden is designed with overfeed protection. Standard Overfeed limits
the amount of time a relay can turn on feed equipment in a 24-Hour period.
⧫PROPORTIONAL FEED: Proportionally reduces the on-time as the measurement gets closer to the set-
point to prevent overshoot.
⧫E-MAIL ALERTS: PoolWarden provides support for 4 email addresses. Alarm alerts can be sent directly
from the controller for real-time management.
⧫DIGITAL FLOW SENSORS: PoolWarden can track flow rate and flow volume.
⧫AUXILIARY RELAYS: Auxiliary relays can control additional / backup sanitizer or acid feed pumps.

POOLWARDEN INSTALLATION
Mounting PoolWarden
Turn off any heaters, pool or spa circulation systems, chemical feed pumps or any related shut-off valves or
equipment and relieve pressure from the filtration system. Find a suitable mounting location near a 120/220
VAC power source that meets the following criteria:
⧫Facilitates a combined (influent & effluent) maximum tubing run of 30’.
⧫Do not mount controller above electrical sources or electrical equipment.
⧫At least 10’ away from any pool, spa or body of water and not accessible to the public.
⧫Away from corrosive materials and physical hazards.
⧫Not in direct sunlight or directly above or near any heat source.
⧫For 220 VAC, ability to hard wire with GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) protection.
Securely mount controller, or the optional controller backboard, vertically on the wall using supplied screws or
appropriate fasteners for the wall construction. Never mount MiniWarden horizontally.
Flow Cell To Circulation Plumbing
There are many ways to connect the flow cell tubing to the circulation plumbing. Always make sure the input
source to the flow cell is well upstream from any chemical injection points. Successful flow cell installation
requires a pressure differential, or there will be no water flowing through the cell. The Flow cell input should be
filtered water and therefore after the filter. Never install the input to the flow cell between the main circulation
pump and filter as that will be very high pressure which may damage the pump and provide the most debris to
the flow cell. PoolWarden is equipped with a strainer to filter out any debris that does get past the filter.
Periodically check and clean the strainer. Install the flow cell return after the heater, there will be a pressure
drop across that should be sufficient to provide flow through the flow cell. If there is no heater, the next choice
is the suction plug in the pumps strainer, make sure to adjust the return valve on the flow cell to keep the
pressure in the flow cell positive.
⧫Flow Cell Input: Drill & tap a connection point in the circulation system at a location just after the filter. The
best location is where there is a pipe fitting as that will provide the most threads. Install a tube connector
and run tubing to the input side of the flow cell.
⧫Flow Cell Output: Drill & tap a connection point in the circulation system at a location with reduced
pressure just after the heater. Install a tube connector and run tubing to the return side of the flow cell.
CAUTION: Maximum pressure across the sensors should be 10 PSI (pressure gauge may be required).
Always expose the sensors to positive pressure. Prevent exposing the sensors to suction or a vacuum by
connecting the flow cell output tubing to the suction side of the pump as the vacuum may suck the sensor gel
from the sensors rendering the sensors inoperable in a very short period of time.
⧫If not pre-mounted, find a suitable location to mount the acrylic flow cell within 3 feet of the controller.
Mount and assemble flow cell parts according to Picture 2.
⧫Remove pH (Blue) and ORP (Red) sensors from the boxes. Use Teflon tape on sensor threads and all
other flow cell parts to ensure water tight connection and fasten accordingly.
⧫Install the appropriate 1/2” or 3/8” hard vinyl input and output tubing from the pools circulation system
connection points to the “In” and “Out” connection points on the flow cell according to Picture 2.
⧫Once connected, turn circulating pump back on, test for leaks at all connection points, and make sure all air
evacuates form the tubing.
⧫There is a small magnet in the flow cell that is held in place with a piece of tape. Remove the tape and
make sure the magnet remains in the hole above the filter / strainer.

PoolWarden Manual www.poolwardentraining.com 530-205-4520 10
IMPORTANT NOTE: There needs to be just enough flow (0.5 gpm)
through the flow cell to raise the flow magnet inside the flow cell to
make contact with the flow sensor. To test this, turn the “input” shut-off
valve to the off position and watch the flow magnet drop from the flow
sensor. Next, turn the input shut-off valve back on and watch the flow
magnet rise to the flow sensor. If the flow magnet rises abruptly and
pings/knocks the flow cell acrylic then the flow is too high. To reduce
flow, perform the same exercise, but now open the shut-off valve slowly
and stop when you see the magnet “slowly” rise to make connection
with the flow sensor. Leave the shut-off valve in that position.
Sensor Wire Connection
If not pre-mounted, route the pH (Blue Sensor Wires), ORP (Red
Sensor Wires), flow sensor and temp sensor wires through the cable
grips at the bottom of controller and connect as labeled inside or as
indicated below in PICTURE 3. Note: Black wires are always
negative (-) and the Clear or Red wires are always positive (+).
REQUIRED Flow Sensor Connections: Connect flow sensor wires
for pool #1 to flow switch 1 and connect flow sensor wires for pool #2
to flow switch 3.
⧫Optional Flow Sensor Connections: Flow switch 2 & 4 are auxiliary switches for Pool #1 and Pool #2
respectively. For powered 3 wire digital flow meters or water level indicators use the 18VDC connection on
the left of the main board, note that it has a 1 amp fuse.
PICTURE 2
Supply 110/220 Vac Input Selection
The PoolWarden supports both 110 VAC and 220 VAC. For 110 VAC the power
cord includes a GFCI on the end of the cord that plugs in. For 220 VAC the cord
should be removed and the PoolWarden should be hardwired to a circuit breaker
with a GFCI by a licensed electrician. The cord can be returned to ControlOMatic for
a credit.
⧫VAC Selector: The red switch in the center of the bottom circuit board must have
the switch notch up for 110 VAC, and down for 220 VAC. Incorrect selection will
damage the PoolWarden.
⧫A good solid earth ground is required for PoolWarden to work properly. Without
a solid ground connection the sensors may drift.
