# Clyr Add-on Devices With the Clyr automation controller, you can fully automate your pool pad with smart sensing and dispensing technologies. The sections below describe the smart add-on devices provided by Clyr. ## The Clyr Digital Water Sensor Real-time water sensing provides instant feedback on water quality, enabling proactive maintenance and swift corrective actions. The Clyr pH/ORP/Temp 3-1 sensor provides real time readings all over a 4-wire cable. The sensor is easy to install and requires a small bit of plumbing. Find out more at [www.clyrpool.com](https://www.clyrpool.com) ![Clyr ORP/pH/Temp sensor mounted inline](https://1838281737-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FCgJ72dWivGOMwepBymYy%2Fuploads%2F7EIo4aryOQ684GpqvPqM%2FClyr_Sensor.png?alt=media\&token=7d6d934a-53cc-4e60-8882-1bd6f733130b) ## Clyr CO2 Injection for pH Control CO2 dosing is one of the best kept secrets of the pool industry. CO2 dosing is similar to adding muriatic acid to your pool except it's more cost effective and environmentally friendly. **How does it work?** Using the Clyr Inline probe (above), Clyr can sense rising pH in the water the Clyr automation controller injects CO2 directly into your pool which converts to Carbonic acid, lowering your pH. Find out more at [www.clyrpool.com](https://www.clyrpool.com). ![Clyr CO2 12V ball valve mounted to CO2 Tank](https://1838281737-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FCgJ72dWivGOMwepBymYy%2Fuploads%2FKlwTaE3adhQXko1TXnN2%2FCO2_Injection.png?alt=media\&token=996b6a22-60ce-44e5-b308-7eadad03890f) ## Clyr Pressure Sensor Ever wonder when your filters are dirty? Well, Clyr has the perfect solution. The digital pressure sensor for Clyr measures the pressure every 5 minutes. Clyr can alert you when the pressure has risen over a period of time likely indicating dirty filters. Dirty filters are a common cause for persistent algae and cloudy water. This is a simple add-on for a lot of cost savings.

## Clyr Cabling Clyr provides some additional jumper cables to help you control relays in an existing relay cabinet. The Clyr board provides up to 3 Auxiliary relay ports for you to use to control relays. # What to order? This quick tutorial should help you determine what you need to order and a few quick hints to help you out. Please use the table to determine which Clyr Controller you should order ## Selecting a controller Please use the following table to determine if you should purchase a Clyr lite or Clyr Controller. {% hint style="success" %} If you plan on only monitoring your pool equipment, you only need a Clyr Lite controller {% endhint %} | Your Equipment | Clyr Lite | Clyr Controller | | ---------------------- | -------------------- | -------------------- | | Single Speed Pump(s) | :x: | :white\_check\_mark: | | Variable Speed Pump(s) | :white\_check\_mark: | :white\_check\_mark: | | Heater | :x: | :white\_check\_mark: | | Valve Actuators | :x: | :white\_check\_mark: | | Salt Cell | :white\_check\_mark: | :white\_check\_mark: | | Pool Lights | :x: | :white\_check\_mark: | | Clyr pH/ORP/Temp probe | :white\_check\_mark: | :white\_check\_mark: | | CO2 Dosing | :white\_check\_mark: | :white\_check\_mark: | | Clyr Pressure Sensor | :white\_check\_mark: | :white\_check\_mark: | You can buy either version of the clyr controller here: ## Chemistry Monitoring If you would like to monitor the pH/ORP/Temp in your pool, please order the Clyr Chemistry probe and this probe is compatible with both Clyr Lite and Clyr Controller versions. You can buy the inline probe here: ## Filter Monitoring If you would like to know when your filters are dirty please order the Clyr Digital Pressure Sensor. The sensor also enables other safety features such as Pump Protect, which automatically sends you an alert if it detects that the pump is malfunctioning due to air in the system. This protects your pump from burning up and having to replace an expensive pump. You can buy the pressure sensor here: ## CO2 Dosing for pH Balance If you would like to automatically keep your pH balanced in your pool, please order the CO2 dosing regulator and purchase a 20-25 lb CO2 tank that can be refilled at any welding store. You can buy the dosing system here: # Ordering Examples Let's show you a couple of examples of what you should order for a pool given the set of equipment that they have. ## Simple Pool - No Spa The table below shows an example of what a customer has. They've asked to be able to control the pool from their phone and to get alerts about what to add on chemistry. | Your Equipment | Clyr Lite | Clyr Controller | | --------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------- | -------------------- | | Intelliflo Variable Speed Pump | :white\_check\_mark: | :white\_check\_mark: | | Intellichlor I-40 salt cell | :white\_check\_mark: | :white\_check\_mark: | | Monitor chemistry using Clyr's pH/ORP/Temp Probe | :white\_check\_mark: | :white\_check\_mark: | | Monitor filter pressure using clyr digital pressure probe | :white\_check\_mark: | :white\_check\_mark: | In this example, you can buy either version of the clyr controller here: ## Pool / Spa Combo On a pool spa combo, **you will have to order a Clyr Controller** as Clyr Lite controllers cannot control heaters. ## Monitor Pool Equipment/Chemistry with pH CO2 Dosing In this case, let's say a customer wants to keep their existing automation system but wants to add Clyr's chemistry readings and recommendations + do CO2 dosing. In this case, you can purchase either a Clyr Lite or Clyr Controller as both can monitor equipment and do CO2 dosing. **The recommendation to by a full Clyr Controller** would likely be if the customer has expressed interest in eventually moving everything over to the Clyr system. # Getting set up Whether you're a DIY or a Pool Company, the process for getting going is quick and easy.

# 4. Connecting your controller ## 4.1 Adding a controller or smart skimmer If you're adding a controller, please proceed here: {% content-ref url="/pages/noqcOjIzlAR6dgjMkuaf" %} [Connect your Controller](/clyr-installation-guide/connect-your-controller) {% endcontent-ref %} If you're setting up a smart skimmer, please proceed to "Settings->Devices->Add->Keto Devices" and follow the prompts for adding a smart skimmer. # 5. App Components ## 5.1 Home Screen The home screen features a 3D image of pool equipment, a row of "Alerts, Schedules, Programs" and a scrolling window for quick access to main pool components. ## 5.2 Location Selector At the top of the home screen is the location selector. If you have access to multiple pools on your account, you can quickly click this dropdown to search for other pools to access their functionality. This location selector will always show the active pool you are editing.
## 5.3 Interactive pool equipment The pool equipment will show green circles over equipment that you have configured and is currently functioning properly. You can click these circles to interact with the equipment and access key functionality quickly.
As an example, clicking on the main pump above opened it's control card and gives us some basic information (RPM) and the current operation mode (Autopilot). We can use the slider OFF/ON to turn the pump off from here. {% hint style="danger" %} If you see a red exclamation mark like this over your equipment, it means that it is not functioning properly. You can still click this link for instructions on how to troubleshoot. {% endhint %} ## 5.4 Alerts, Programs, Schedules This next main row below the equipment are some key features on how to control and interact with your pool. We will dive into these individually. # 6. Schedules - Control your pool ## 6.1 How to control your equipment using schedules If you have a Clyr Controller and you have variable speed pumps, lights, relays, heaters, etc. hooked up, schedules are an easy way for you to program and control how your equipment should run daily. ## 6.2 Set your first schedule Let's say we have a variable speed pump and we want it to run from 8am - 5pm every day. We can set a schedule. From the home screen, click the schedules button and this will pop up a calendar: Using your finger, drag and drop on the calendar as if you were creating a normal calendar event in another app. This will pop up this screen:
Select your equipment, verify the time, and select any other option you might need. As an example, on a pump, you will be prompted to select the RPM. Click submit and you should see the schedule pop up momentarily. Below is an example showing a schedule for a light and the color it should show:
## 6.3 Editing a schedule To edit a schedule, simply open up the schedules page, and click on the calendar event. This will pop open the edit dialog and you can tweak the settings. ## 6.4 Copying a schedule to multiple days If you don't want to create individual calendar events, you can copy a single event you have already created to multiple days. In order to do this, click on the calendar event so you see the edit dialog, and then click the "Copy To" and select the days as shown in the figure below:
You will now be able to click on the different days above and should see this schedule copied. {% hint style="warning" %} If you get an error here about duplicate schedules, you may need to go check your other days and make sure that an overlapping schedule for this piece of equipment doesn't already exist. You first need to DELETE that schedule in order for bulk copying to work. {% endhint %} ## 6.5 Deleting schedules {% hint style="warning" %} Deleting a schedule entry will automatically STOP the functionality of that piece of equipment if you delete it while the equipment is running {% endhint %} If you would like to delete a schedule entry, simply click the calendar entry to pop open the edit dialog. At the top of the dialog, click the three buttons and select "Delete" as shown below.
If you would like to bulk delete all your schedules, click the triple dot on the home schedules page and "Delete All".
Schedules are the easiest way to manage your pool equipment and conveniently allow you to match different values for different times. # 7. Programs - custom ways to temporarily run your pool ## 7.1 What are programs {% hint style="warning" %} Programs override all pool equipment in operation if they are run. They take precedence over schedules, manual operation and autopilot {% endhint %} Programs are used when you would like to run your pool in a certain way temporarily. A great use case is Spa Mode. As an example, normally you want your pool filtering your pool water like normal, but you want to allow the user to turn their spa on for a few hours to enjoy. Programs are unique in that they can override specific pieces of equipment at a time. We'll show you a couple of examples how a program could leave schedules running on a pump, but turn on a booster pump and a valve to do a special water feature. ## 7.2 Creating your first program To create a program like Spa Mode, click the "Programs" button on the home screen. Then click add. {% hint style="info" %} Note, if you already see a couple of programs there, that's fine. Clyr will automatically create some programs as certain pieces of equipment are added like pumps. These programs can be edited or archived if you don't want them. {% endhint %}
In the example above, we've created a program called **Test** to run for 30 minutes. It will turn on our single valve actuator pointed in the "Spa" direction and it will also enable Aux2 relay. {% hint style="warning" %} To reiterate, in the program above, Aux 3, Heater, and Relay light, will maintain whatever functionality has been programmed. This means that these components could run manually, with a schedule, or even another program because they're not being used by this program. {% endhint %} After saving this program, it will show up on the programs page. ## 7.3 Pinning Programs Let's say you are programming a spa mode and want easy access to it on the home screen. From the programs page, click "Add to Home". This will make a button show up on the home screen just below "Water Quality" items.
## 7.4 Running programs All you need to do to run the program is click the button. It may take a few seconds to activate but then you should see a progress bar and stop button. Programs can be stopped at any time or they will run for the programmed duration. # 8. Understanding pool chemistry - pH, ORP, and Chlorine ## 8.1 Clyr Chemistry If you have a Clyr sensor installed on your system you will be able to monitor your chemistry in real time. They will show up on your home screen and in the water quality page. Let's dive in to see what these items are and how to use them.
## 8.2 pH Level The Clyr chemistry sensor reads pH every 5 minutes (or we can show you how to request the latest values as well). pH in pool water is a measure of how acidic or basic the water is, and keeping it in the right range (usually 7.2–7.8) ensures swimmers’ comfort and helps sanitizers (like chlorine) work effectively. If the pH is too low (acidic), it can irritate eyes and corrode pool equipment; if it’s too high (basic), the water may become cloudy and reduce chlorine’s effectiveness. To balance pH, use pH increaser (often soda ash) if it’s too low or pH reducer (such as muriatic acid) if it’s too high, always following the directions on the product label. {% hint style="danger" %} As an example, if your pH drops below 6.8 it can damage the heater if the heater is turned on. This is a common problem and can lead to costly repairs! {% endhint %} Let's say you have high pH like the picture below. How do you fix it? In the Clyr App, just click on the pH card and it will take you to a screen that says "Pool Care" with exact instructions on what you should do.
Please make sure that the gallons of your pool are correct as this can possibly lead to overdosing if you're not careful. ## 8.3 ORP Level ORP might be something you've never heard of but it's been in the pool industry **for over 40 years!** ORP (Oxidation-Reduction Potential) measures how effectively your pool’s sanitizer—like chlorine—can kill germs and keep the water clean. Think of it as the “strength” of your pool’s sanitizing power. Free chlorine, on the other hand, is the actual amount of chlorine available in the water. When free chlorine is balanced (not too low or too high), ORP readings tend to be higher, which means your pool is doing a better job at zapping unwanted bacteria. By keeping both ORP and free chlorine in recommended ranges, you’ll ensure your pool remains safe, clear, and inviting. **A good ORP level is 550-800 mV.** In order to raise your ORP level, you can click on the card in the home page and go to pool care steps, the same as pH!
## 8.4 Free Chlorine Unless you have a sensor from Clyr which explicitly measures free chlorine, you can still get an **estimated** free chlorine reading in the app! We have a pretty smart algorithm that can take your **pH, ORP, water temperature, and CYA to calculate free chlorine.** All you need to do is go to the free chlorine card, hit the small "pencil" and enter in your **Cyanuric Acid Content in ppm (CYA).** If you don't have your CYA reading, you can go to a local pool store to get this measured or order test strips online. Good CYA is usually in between 10-50 ppm.
What to do if the Clyr app says your Free Chlorine is X but the pool store says it's different? There's a couple of things you can do: * Check your CYA content - CYA above 50ppm can really reduce how effective your chlorine is and will lower ORP overall * Salt content - if you have high salt in your pool, this can also lower ORP and free chlorine estimation * ORP Sensor Powered for 24 hours - if you just finished installing your sensor, please wait 24 hours with the sensor powered on in order for the readings to become more accurate. ## 8.5 Filtration If you have a variable speed pump hooked up to your pool and it is configured as a **main filter pump**, filtration will be calculated. {% hint style="info" %} The rule of thumb in the pool industry is that the total gallons of your pool water should be filtered through 2x in a 24 hour period {% endhint %} Based on the rule of thumb above, Clyr actually keeps track of how much pool water you've filtered to this standard and shows you this as a daily percentage! # 9. Configuring Alerts ## 9.1 Alerts and where to find them Alerts can be configured individually per pool. In order to find the alerts specific to pools you need to go to **"Settings->Alerts"**
The location name should be shown at the top and then you should see a series of alerts, starting with "Smart Alerts" at the top. {% hint style="info" %} Best practice is to enable all the smart alerts per pool {% endhint %} Here's a brief explanation of the smart alerts: **Smart pH -** detects that the pH is out of range for a given period of time under certain conditions **Smart ORP -** detects that the ORP has been bad for a given period of time under certain conditions **Freeze Protect -** only alerts you that you should have your pool in freeze protect mode. For configuring freeze protect, please see our Configuring Freeze Protect section **Pump Offline -** can alert the user that their pump should be running based on a schedule but is not ## 9.2 Threshold Alerts Threshold alerts should mainly be used if you have a specific use case where you want to be alerted **exactly at the time when the reading breaks the threshold**. You can configure thresholds individuall for low, high, or both at the same time. # 10. Configuring Freeze Protect ## 10.1 Configure Freeze Protect Freeze protection should be enabled and configured for all pools where Clyr is **controlling equipment.** {% hint style="warning" %} Freeze protect is not enabled by default in Clyr. It needs to always be configured. {% endhint %} **Currently,** freeze protect will enable when the water or air is 44F depending on how you configure it. Let's walk through that now. ## 10.2 Configuration First, you need to go to **"Settings->Freeze Protect"** on the desired location. Once you're on this screen, please enable freeze protect with the slider and accept the terms and conditions.
Once freeze protect is enabled, you're going to see several configuration items on this screen. * **Valve Rotation Time -** this is the time where, if you enable valves to rotate (we will show your shortly) how often they should rotate between two positions * **Temperature Source -** you can click on this field and tell Clyr to either use the water temperature from the Clyr Smart Sensor or you can tell it to grab real time weather data based on the location's zip code. Location based (shown above) is based on zip code To configure equipment, please click on the controller under "Devices Configuration". In the picture above, clicking on "CLYR\_8CF1..." will go to the next screen.
You can now configure all pieces of equipment that should be active during freeze protection. For pumps, RPMs can be set individually if they are variable speed. For valves, you can choose between two rotation positions as shown below:
In the picture above, the pool valve will rotate from position 1 (it's default position) to position 2 based on the time interval on the previous page. # 11. Autopilot - Let Clyr automatically optimize and dose your pool ## 11.1 Autopilot / Autodosing Clyr Autopilot uses true AI to determine what your equipment should be doing based on the pool's chemistry and previous operation history. Clyr's Autodosing uses Clyr's CO2 to automatically dose your pool to balance your pool's pH. {% hint style="info" %} This is unique to Clyr and offers pool owners TRUE set and forget functionality when running their pool. {% endhint %} Here's what autopilot looks like when running:
In the picture above, the yellow line is the pump RPM on a pool and the Green curve is ORP. Autopilot automatically adjusts the pump speed to ensure that ORP stays in a healthy range. On this particular pool, the pump speed determines how much chlorine is being released from the chlorinator. **Autopilot can keep a body of water near perfect with as little as a variable speed pump.** ## 11.2 What's needed for Autopilot In order to run Autopilot, you need to have * **Minimum -** variable speed pump in control mode and a Clyr pH/ORP/Temp sensor * **Optional -** salt cell If you meet the criteria above, you need to go to "Settings->Autopilot" to configure autopilot.
At the top of the screen, you need to enable Autopilot. You can then change the minimum RPM you want the pump to run when it's trying to conserve energy, and you can select the desired ORP you would like to maintain in the pool. The above settings are recommended. ## 11.3 Autodosing Clyr uses CO2 to balance pH. Using carbon dioxide (CO₂) to control pool pH is a safer, more eco-friendly alternative to adding strong acids like muriatic acid. When CO₂ is injected into the pool, it reacts with water to form carbonic acid, which lowers the pH without significantly increasing the water’s total dissolved solids. This method helps keep the pool’s chemistry stable, reduces storage and handling risks, and can be easier on swimmers’ skin and eyes. Overall, CO₂ injection offers a gentler way to fine-tune pH and maintain a balanced, comfortable swimming environment. In order to run Autodosing, you need the following: * **Minimum -** either a variable speed pump + Clyr pH/ORP/temp sensor - OR - a Clyr Filter pressure sensor and a Clyr pH/ORP/Temp sensor To configure autodosing, go to "Settings->Autopilot" and enable autodosing. Select the equipment that will be used and the desired pH.
The dosing frequency in minutes is how often Clyr will analyze your pH and make a decision to dose CO2. 15 minutes is recommended for most pools. # 12. Sharing access to your pool to others ## 12.1 Sharing pool access You can share access to your pool with family members, your service company, or even Airbnb tenants! All you need to do is go to "Settings->Shares". Type in the email address and email instructions will be sent for the user to download the app, reset their password, and login for access. At any time, you can hit the garbage can icon to remove access. # Unboxing and Wiring Power ## Step 1 - Unbox your Clyr Controller Unbox your Clyr Controller. The outdoor-rated controller has a hinged cover with an IP67 rated gasket, which means you can mount this directly outdoors with the rest of your pool equipment!

If you haven't please check out that tutorial before going further {% content-ref url="/pages/IoanZIBRvb7GP0iRMBPf" %} [Get Started](/get-started/what-to-order) {% endcontent-ref %} ## Step 2 - Make sure Clyr Controller has power At this point, you should ensure that your Clyr Controller has power. If you don't have power, please checkout this tutorial on hooking up proper power before proceeding. {% content-ref url="/pages/noqcOjIzlAR6dgjMkuaf" %} [Connect your Controller](/clyr-installation-guide/connect-your-controller) {% endcontent-ref %} ## Step 3 - Double check power to the controller Upon connecting power to the controller, it should have a pulsing yellow light.

Example of yellow light on the controller with power plugged in

This means the controller has the right power connectivity and is ready for setup. ## Step 4 - Add Clyr Controller in App When logged into the app on the mobile device go to your desired location. The location will be the Orange Name at the top. Then in the navbar, select "Settings" with the :gear: icon. Then proceed to the menu option for "Devices"

Devices with the "Add Button"

Click the "Add" button and you will see the option for "Clyr Controller" with an icon to pop up.

Add controller modal popup

The app will now walk you through a couple simple steps. It will verify that you have a pulsing yellow light, and then you will need to press the middle black button on the Clyr Controller. After you do this, the light will turn blue :blue\_circle: indicating that bluetooth is active.

Pusing the middle button to activate Bluetooth.

The app should then find an option showing the Clyr Controller was found.

Successful Clyr Controller detected over Bluetooth

After selecting that controller, it will attempt to find available WiFi networks. Once your network is found, you can enter your password and hit complete. If all is well, you will get a registration complete screen in the app.

Successful Registration of Clyr Device

## Step 5 - Verify successful Clyr Connectivity You can verify that the device is successfuly online as the LED should turn from yellow to green and then stay in a solid turqouise.

Solid turquoise light means Clyr is online and connected to the cloud.

## Troubleshooting If you don't end up in step 5 and are experiencing different behavior, try these troubleshooting steps. **My light is still pulsing yellow and then turns red. Then repeats a pulsing yellow and then red again.** This means that the wifi network you selected and the credentials provided are not able to connect to the network. You can try the setup process again by deleting the controller from your location and attempting to reconnect to wifi. **My light is staying solid green and never goes turquoise.** This means that your Clyr Controller cannot connect to the Clyr Cloud. Please try to unplug the power to the Clyr Controller and then plug back in. If problem persists, please check to make sure that you haven't configured firewall rules that would prevent SNTP or MQTT ports. Finally, if this still doesn't work, please contact for remote troubleshooting. **My app says that my controller is still "offline" but I see a turqoise light.** This is fine, there may be a delay in the controller uploading its latest configuration and we just need 5-10 minutes to finish sync'ing with the cloud. # Overview {% hint style="info" %} **Clyr can be setup to monitor equipment and chemistry or can control equipment and monitor chemistry. It's important to understand the difference.** {% endhint %} ## Monitoring If you or your pool client are interested in keeping the automation system in place but wanting to monitor the equipment performance and pool chemistry, this is the option for you.

Wiring diagram and setup for monitoring mode

For all steps involving monitoring the equipment, the Ain and Bin ports on Clyr Controller should be used to connect to the existing wires. By connecting Ain and Bin to the existing RS485 network, you allow the Clyr Controller to "sniff" or "listen" to all the traffic between the current automation system and the pool equipment. You can then still configure a Clyr pH/ORP probe and pressure sensor on RS485 NETWORK 2 (marked A2 and B2) on the Clyr Controller board. {% hint style="danger" %} **Always look for the monitor toggle when adding pumps and salt cells during setup** {% endhint %} During equipment setup, you will always see a toggle for monitor mode for pumps and salt cells like this

Monitor only when adding equipment

## Controlling Of course it's way more fun to control all your equipment from your phone or computer, not just monitor it. The wiring for controlling is very straightforward. {% hint style="danger" %} **Very important -** you cannot have an automation system (like EasyTouch) and Clyr Controller both controlling equipment. This may damage the equipment. {% endhint %} We will show you in following steps how to properly connect all vendors' equipment, but in general, the wiring looks like the diagram below:

Clyr Controller wiring for equipment control

# Clyr Controller RS485 Networks ## What are Clyr RS485 Networks and where do I find them? You will see on the Clyr Controller board that there are A1, B1, A2, B2, Ain, and Bin. What are these for? Turns out they're really important. In order to prevent situations where equipment communication may interfere, Clyr offers you the ability to separate communication networks for different pieces of equipment if you want. As an example, our previous section introduced **Controlling vs. Monitoring. In this case, we can use Network 1 (A1/B1) in order to monitor the equipment and we can use Network 2 (A2/B2) to read data from our sensors.** ## Where will I find networks in the app and how do I set them up correctly? You only need to worry about networks when adding or configuring the equipment in the Clyr app. It is typically found on the "Add" page under "Advanced Options". {% hint style="info" %} By default, Clyr Controller will add equipment to Network 1 during setup unless you configure it differently during setup. {% endhint %}

Once you select pump, we'll need to configure the Pump. First, choose a name for the pump. A good default is "Pump" but you may want to call it "main pump" or "filter pump". Next, in the dropdown, **please select Jandy FloPro even if you have an EPump**. You can change the default RPM if you please. This RPM is only used if the pump gets in an unknown state. Next, you can choose/set the priming time. Finally, if this pump is your main pool pump, be sure to select "Main Filter Pump"

Adding FloPro Pump

Next, you'll want to select which network you wired the pump up to. Remember that we screwed our A / B cables into "A1" and "B1", so this is network 1. We will leave it as is, but if you used network 2, you'll need to change the network.

Choosing the network

Finally, you shouldn't have to do anything to the address. **However, if you are controlling an EPump that previously was controlled by an Aqualink controller, you will need to set the Address to 0xEO.** {% hint style="warning" %} Please read the above carefully. If you are moving your EPump from an Aqualink to a Clyr Controller, you will likely have to set the address as 0xEO. {% endhint %} You're done! Click through the rest of the phone steps and arrive at the final screen.

Go to your pool location and click "Settings"-> "Devices"-> "Add" -> "Pool Equipment". Once you're on the pool equipment page, we'll select a Salt Cell.

Add pool equipment page

Once you select salt cell, we'll need to configure the Aquarite Salt Cell. First, choose a name for the salt cell. A good default is "Salt Cell" but you may want to call it "Aquarite" or "salt". Next, in the dropdown, **please select Hayward Aquarite.** You can change the default salt percentage (%) if you please. **We recommend setting this number to 10% on all cells.** This % is only used if the salt cell gets in an unknown state. Finally, don't forget to toggle "Activate Cell" so that the salt cell will be turned on and controlled remotely by the Clyr Controller.
Next, you'll want to select which network you wired the pump up to. Remember that we screwed our A / B cables into "A1" and "B1", so this is network 1. We will leave it as is, but if you used network 2, you'll need to change the network. Finally, you shouldn't have to do anything to the address. You're done! Click through the rest of the phone steps and arrive at the final screen.

You can either wait for the Clyr Controller to report back successful communication, or you can skip waiting for this and go test running the pump. ## Step 8 - Test the Aquarite Now that the salt cell has been added and the power is on, quickly jump to the home screen, go to schedules, and add a schedule for your pump. After setting a quick schedule, the salt cell should change the percentage and report the PPM on the equipment tab. {% hint style="success" %} You'll note that you've been successful if when you change the salt cell percentage in the app, the salt cell will "beep" at you every time you change the % chlorination. {% endhint %} {% hint style="warning" %} If you see an orange exclamation and communications error, please jump to the troubleshooting section {% endhint %} {% content-ref url="/pages/FZgZ9UKeWoJc7SPoS3kQ" %} [Schedules, Programs, and Autopilot](/software-and-app/schedules-programs-and-autopilot) {% endcontent-ref %} ## Step 9 - Breaker off and screw on the Aquarite front metal plate {% hint style="danger" %} RISK OF ELECTROCUTION AND SHOCK - Please turn off the breaker to the pump when screwing the back plate of the pump back on. {% endhint %} Before putting the metal front plate of the Hayward Aquarite back on the salt cell, please turn off the breaker. ## Step 10 - Turn breaker back on Turn breaker back on and your salt cell is all set. ## Next Steps Now that your salt cell is online, you can do all sorts of great stuff like schedules, programs, autopilot and more. Check out those tutorials. ## Troubleshooting 1. **I wired everything up but the salt cell still shows an exclamation mark and says it's not communicating, what can do I do?** Try this first, sometimes the salt cell is in a bad state. Turn the breaker off for 60 seconds, then turn it back on. Second, check to make sure your wiring matches the wiring schematic above. Third, make sure all your wires and screw terminals are tight. If you've shoved multiple wires into one terminal, it could be that the wires aren't actually touching. Try using ferrules to join the wires together. Fourth, take a multimeter and check that you have at least 10V from COM to 12V port on the red Aquarite terminal block. Last, if all else fails, sometimes the last resort is to try and reattach the screen or OmniLogic to ensure that there are no faults/errors that Clyr doesn't detect. # Pentair Intelliflo (VS) Pump Installation This tutorial shows how to connect a Pentair Intelliflo Variable speed pump.

If you've shoved multiple wires into one terminal, it could be that the wires aren't actually touching. Try using ferrules to join the wires together. Fourth, take a multimeter and check that you have at least 10V from COM to 12V port on the red Aquapure terminal block. Last, if all else fails, sometimes the last resort is to try and reattach the screen or iAqualink to ensure that there are no faults/errors that Clyr doesn't detect. # Black and Decker Pump Installation This tutorial shows how to connect a Black and Decker Variable Speed (VS) pump. {% hint style="danger" %} RISK OF ELECTROCUTION AND SHOCK - before proceeding with this tutorial please seek advice or help from a certified electrician if you feel uncomfortable with any of the following steps as this tutorial involves working with potentially high voltages and current. {% endhint %}

Black and Decker variable speed pump

## Tools Needed Before we start hooking up your pump, you'll need the following tools: * A Clyr Lite or Clyr Controller * Black and Decker screen adaptor * Clyr Black and Decker pump adaptor * Ethernet or 4-wire copper cable * A small flathead screwdriver * A large Phillips screwdriver

Tools needed

## Step 1 - Connect your controller Before you begin, please make sure you have powered on and connected your Clyr Controller. {% content-ref url="/pages/noqcOjIzlAR6dgjMkuaf" %} [Connect your Controller](/clyr-installation-guide/connect-your-controller) {% endcontent-ref %} ## Step 2 - Remove screen of Black and Decker pump {% hint style="danger" %} RISK OF ELECTROCUTION AND SHOCK - Before proceeding, please turn off the breaker to the pump to disconnect the 120-240VAC power. {% endhint %} Locate the screws on to the screen on top of the Black and Decker pump and remove the screen.

## Step 3 - Plug connector into Clyr Black and Decker module You now need to plug the white connector into the Clyr Black and Decker module. The notch on the top of the white connector should be facing the screw terminals on the Clyr board when plugged in.

Plug black and decker connector into Clyr module

## Step 4 - Wire 4-wire cable on pump side Alright, now it's time to start wiring the Clyr Controller to the pump. In the end, here's what we want to achieve:

Wiring for B&D pump to Clyr Controller

In this step, you want to take your ethernet or 4-wire cable and connect wires in the following way. If you have the following wire colors available, please follow this wiring guide: * Yellow - Connect to B\&D B * Green - Connect to B\&D A {% hint style="warning" %} Wiring is important. It doesn't actually matter what colors you end up using but the colors must match between the pump and Clyr Controller. {% endhint %}

Black and Decker module wiring

## Step 5 - Wiring Clyr Controller Now its time to make sure the colors match. If you haven't wired any existing equipment to the Clyr controller, it's a good idea to take our first available network using ports A1 and B1. What are networks? {% content-ref url="/pages/NzEPHkfiae9lMGXNzYaL" %} [Clyr Controller RS485 Networks](/controlling-vs.-monitoring/clyr-controller-rs485-networks) {% endcontent-ref %} Per the wiring schematic above, wire up the Clyr Controller so that the A / B wires are wired correctly on the Clyr Controller as they were on the Black and Decker Pump. {% hint style="danger" %} SUPER IMPORTANT - Black and Decker Pumps must be the only piece of equipment on their network. Therefore, everything including sensors, salt cells, and other accessories must be on their own network. {% endhint %}

Once you select pump, we'll need to configure the Pump. First, choose a name for the pump. A good default is "Pump" but you may want to call it "main pump" or "filter pump". Next, in the dropdown, **please select Black and Decker** . You can change the default RPM if you please. This RPM is only used if the pump gets in an unknown state. Next, you can choose/set the priming time. Finally, if this pump is your main pool pump, be sure to select "Main Filter Pump"

Black and Decker configuration

Next, you'll want to select which network you wired the pump up to. Remember that we screwed our A / B cables into "A1" and "B1", so this is network 1. We will leave it as is, but if you used network 2, you'll need to change the network.

Choosing the network

Finally, you shouldn't have to do anything to the address. You're done! Click through the rest of the phone steps and arrive at the final screen.

Pentair Intellivalves are not supported. {% hint style="danger" %} RISK OF ELECTROCUTION AND SHOCK - before proceeding with this tutorial please seek advice or help from a certified electrician if you feel uncomfortable with any of the following steps as this tutorial involves working with potentially high voltages and current. {% endhint %}

Hayward Valve Actuator

## Tools Needed Before we start hooking up your valve, you'll need the following tools: * Clyr Controller * A small flathead screwdriver * A large Phillips screwdriver * A 24VAC Clyr Power Supply
## Step 1 - Connect your controller Before you begin, please make sure you have powered on and connected your Clyr Controller. {% content-ref url="/pages/noqcOjIzlAR6dgjMkuaf" %} [Connect your Controller](/clyr-installation-guide/connect-your-controller) {% endcontent-ref %} ## Step 2 - Install 24VAC Outdoor Power Supply {% hint style="danger" %} RISK OF ELECTROCUTION AND SHOCK - Before proceeding, please turn off the breaker to the pump to disconnect the 120-240VAC power. {% endhint %} Please locate a 120-240VAC outdoor rated outlet to plug in the outdoor power supply for the valve.

24VAC Power Supplly

Please note that this power supply is fully waterproof and can be mounted outside itself. ## Step 3 - Wire 24VAC to Clyr Controller When wiring up the power supply to the controller, please make sure that the Brown wire (HOT) is on the left and Blue (COM) is on the right.

Wiring 24VAC

## Step 4 - Choosing a valve port You will see 4 available valve ports on the side of the Clyr Controller. The labels are on the inside of the white connectors and are labeled "Valve 1, Valve 2, Valve 3, Valve 4". Please select a valve port. **It does not matter which Valve port you choose for suction or return as these variables are set in the software.**

Plugged into Valve 1

The valve will only plug in 1 direction due to the connector but the black wire should be on top as shown in the picture above. ## Step 5 - Setting the default direction The default direction of the valve handle is important as this will be configured to be the default direction when the system is off, system state is unknown, or any other cases. With the valve plugged in and the 24VAC plugged in, please locate the metal switch on the bottom of the valve or side of the valve, depending on the vendor.

Switch located on the Hayward valve actuator

The switch may be in the middle or "off" position. Please flip the switch back or forth so that the valve starts to move in the direction and stops at your desired default position. {% hint style="warning" %} Note - if your valve actuator isn't moving at this point, you need to check that the 24VAC power supply is actually powered on as the valve should move when the switch is engaged {% endhint %} ## Step 6 - Turn breaker back on At this point, if the wires are tight and the colors match we're almost ready to add the valve in our app and test it out. Go ahead and turn the breaker back on and then we'll head to the app. ## Step 7 - Add valve in app You should have already added a Clyr Controller to your pool location in the app at this point. If you haven't check this out first: {% content-ref url="/pages/noqcOjIzlAR6dgjMkuaf" %} [Connect your Controller](/clyr-installation-guide/connect-your-controller) {% endcontent-ref %} If this has been done you can proceed. Go to your pool location and click "Settings"-> "Devices"-> "Add" -> "Pool Equipment". Once you're on the pool equipment page, we'll select a Valve Actuator.

Add pool equipment page

Once you select valve actuator, we'll need to configure the valve. First, choose a name for the valve. You will likely want to name the valve based on which side of the pump the valve is on. If the valve you plugged in sits pre-pump, you'll want to give it a name like "suction". If the valve sits post-pump, you will want to name the valve "return". You could also choose useful names like Spa Valve, or water feature, if those help you remember.
Next, you need to add labels for the pump directions. **NOTE, you only need to likely add 2 labels and can leave the other labels blank.** Useful labels typically are to note where the water is coming from or going to. Please see image below as an example.

Valve labeling

In the image above, we labeled direction 1 (left side) as water going to the pool and we labeled label 2 (right side) "bubbler" to note that the water is going to the bubbler. These labels are only to help you remember in the app what each valve rotation is doing. Finally, you need to select which label is set as your default direction. For setting the default direction, **your valve should be currently in the default position as this is set.**

Default direction set as pool

In the example above, we select the label "Pool" as the default direction and our current valve position should match this setting. Click "Save" and you're done. ## Step 8 - Test the valve Now that the valve has been added and the power is on, quickly jump to the home screen, go to schedules, and add a schedule for your valve. After setting a quick schedule, if you selected the position which is NOT the default, the valve should immediately move to that position. {% content-ref url="/pages/FZgZ9UKeWoJc7SPoS3kQ" %} [Schedules, Programs, and Autopilot](/software-and-app/schedules-programs-and-autopilot) {% endcontent-ref %} ## Next Steps Now that your valve is online, you can do all sorts of great stuff like schedules, programs, autopilot and more. Check out those tutorials. ## Troubleshooting 1. **I wired everything up but the valve is not turning when I set a schedule** First, make sure that you selected the right valve port on the board (Valve 1) and you configured the correct valve in the app Second, ensure that with the 24VAC power plugged in that flipping the metal switch actually moves the valve handle. If it does not, there's likely a power issue to the 24VAC power supply Third, ensure that the valve handle is properly seated on the valve. Sometimes on Hayward valves or Turk valves, the plastic on the bottom of the valve which connects to the valve itself is not all the way pressed down and this prevents the valve from moving. # Auxiliary Relay Installaiton This tutorial shows how to connect a relay to Clyr {% hint style="danger" %} RISK OF ELECTROCUTION AND SHOCK - before proceeding with this tutorial please seek advice or help from a certified electrician if you feel uncomfortable with any of the following steps as this tutorial involves working with potentially high voltages and current. {% endhint %}
