Product Overview

The Hayward OmniPL HLPLUS4W combines pool and spa automation, remote web and app control, and integrated salt chlorination in one professional-grade control system. Built on Hayward’s OmniLogic platform, OmniPL allows users to manage pumps, heaters, lighting, valve actuators, water features, sanitization equipment, schedules, and other compatible backyard functions from the included outdoor touchscreen controller or the OmniLogic mobile app.

This Plus-series package includes the Hayward TCELLS340 TurboCell S3 salt cell, designed for compatible pools up to 40,000 gallons. The system includes four high-voltage relays and can be expanded to support up to eight total relays with optional relay modules.

The HLPLUS4W also includes built-in Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity, a 100-amp service subpanel with space for up to eight circuit breakers, and direct communication control for as many as eight compatible Hayward variable-speed pumps without consuming the included relays.

Specifications

Hayward currently lists the product dimensions, GTIN, and warranty terms shown above for the HLPLUS4W.

Integrated Salt Chlorination

The HLPLUS4W includes the TCELLS340 TurboCell S3, which generates chlorine from salt added to the pool water. The system allows chlorination output to be managed through the OmniPL controller and compatible OmniLogic app.

The included cell is designed for properly sized residential pools up to 40,000 gallons. Final sizing should consider climate, water temperature, swimmer load, sunlight exposure, operating time, and actual chlorine demand.

A properly installed flow switch and cell plumbing components are required for salt-system operation. Verify whether the plumbing kit is included in your specific package before installation.

Smartphone, Web and Voice Control

Built-in wireless and Ethernet connectivity allows users to monitor and control compatible pool and spa equipment through the OmniLogic app.

Available functions may include:

• Turning equipment on or off
• Adjusting compatible pump speeds
• Managing heater setpoints
• Changing light colors and shows
• Adjusting salt-chlorination output
• Creating schedules
• Activating saved themes
• Monitoring water and air temperatures
• Controlling compatible water features
• Managing pool and spa operating modes

Remote operation requires a stable internet connection and proper network configuration. Hayward confirms that the W-series OmniPL models support app access and remote monitoring.

Pump Control

The OmniPL can directly communicate with up to eight compatible Hayward variable-speed pumps without using the four included high-voltage relays. This leaves the relays available for lighting, single-speed pumps, water features, chemical feeders, and other compatible loads.

Selected competitive variable-speed pumps may require the optional HLPMPCONV communication converter.

Relay Expansion

The system includes four high-voltage relays and supports modular expansion:

• Add two HLRELAY modules for up to six relays
• Add two HLH485RELAY Smart Relays for up to eight total relays

Expansion components are sold separately. Relay and load compatibility must be confirmed by the installer before wiring.

ColorLogic Lighting Control

OmniDirect Mode provides enhanced control of compatible Hayward ColorLogic LED lighting, including additional colors, exclusive light shows, dimming, and show-speed adjustments.

Lighting capabilities depend on the exact fixture model, transformer configuration, firmware, and system setup. Standard relay control is also available for many other compatible pool and landscape lights.

Compatible Optional Accessories

The OmniPL platform can support select accessories, including:

• HLRELAY internal relay modules
• HLH485RELAY external Smart Relays
• GVA-24 valve actuators
• HLWIRELESS waterproof remote
• HLWALLMOUNT wall-mounted remote
• HLSPASIDE wired spa-side remote
• HL-CHEM chemistry sensing system
• HLPMPCONV competitive VSP converter
• Additional AquaRite chlorination equipment with the required communication board

Optional accessories are sold separately unless expressly stated.

Installation Information

The HLPLUS4W must be installed by a qualified pool professional and licensed electrician. Installation requires proper grounding, bonding, GFCI protection, overcurrent protection, network setup, equipment configuration, and salt-system plumbing.

All AC power must be disconnected before installation or service. Circuit breakers must be properly sized for each connected load, and low-voltage wiring must be separated from high-voltage conductors as required by the manufacturer and applicable electrical codes.

Do not use the OmniPL to control fire pits or fire features.

Warranty Information

Hayward currently lists a 3-year parts warranty and 1-year labor warranty for the HLPLUS4W. Hayward also notes that extended parts-and-labor terms may apply when the system is purchased and professionally installed through a qualifying Hayward Rewards partner. Exclusions and additional conditions may apply.

Warranty coverage may be denied for damage caused by improper installation, incorrect wiring, unsuitable circuit protection, improper salt chemistry, incompatible equipment, water intrusion, lightning or power surges, freezing, or failure to follow Hayward’s installation requirements.
