Overview

⚙️ How it works

The system has two main parts:

1) Sense (measurement)

  • A flow cell constantly samples pool water
  • Sensors measure:
    • pH probe → acidity level
    • ORP probe → chlorine strength (sanitizing power)

2) Dispense (chemical control)

It can control:

  • 🧂 Salt chlorinator output (more/less chlorine production)
  • 🧪 Acid dosing pump (to lower pH)
  • 🫧 CO₂ system (in some setups)

🧱 Main components

  • Flow cell chamber (water sample loop)
  • pH probe
  • ORP probe
  • Control module (HL-CHEM / AQL-CHEM)
  • Injection control outputs (acid/chlorine systems)

👍 Key benefits

✔ Automatic water balancing (less manual testing)
✔ More stable chlorine levels (no big highs/lows)
✔ Better compatibility with saltwater pools
✔ Integrates into full Hayward automation systems
✔ Can be monitored via app (with OmniLogic setups)


⚠️ Real-world limitations

  • ❌ Not fully “set and forget” (still needs calibration)
  • ❌ Probes require cleaning and replacement over time
  • ❌ Flow cell must maintain correct water flow or readings become wrong
  • ❌ Can be expensive compared to manual testing
  • ❌ Acid/CO₂ systems still require refills and maintenance
