Hayward Sense And Dispense

No, it is specifically designed to integrate with Hayward automation systems, including Aqua Rite Pro, Pro Logic, Aqua Plus, and OmniLogic. It will not function as a standalone unit without one of these compatible controllers.

The kit continuously samples your pool water to monitor both ORP (Oxidation-Reduction Potential) and pH levels. It then uses a proportional feed algorithm to automatically adjust chlorine generation and pH reduction based on real-time demand.

This system is designed for in-ground pools that use saltwater sanitation. It is not suitable for above-ground pools or pools that do not utilize a compatible Hayward salt chlorine generator.

The system manages pH by dispensing CO2 or carbonic acid into the water. This provides a more precise and stable way to lower pH compared to manual acid additions.

Yes, like all ORP and pH sensing equipment, the probes require periodic cleaning and calibration to ensure accurate readings. You should check them regularly as part of your routine pool maintenance schedule.

While the installation is straightforward for those comfortable with pool plumbing and electrical work, it does require plumbing the sensing kit into your existing system and connecting it to your Hayward controller. If you are not experienced with pool plumbing or electrical, a professional installation is recommended.
