Product Overview

The Hayward HCC 2000 Water Chemistry Controller | HCC2000 is a commercial-grade automated pH and ORP controller designed to provide continuous monitoring and precise chemical control for swimming pools and spas. Using microprocessor-based technology and proportional feed control, the HCC 2000 automatically activates compatible chemical feed equipment based on actual water demand, helping maintain consistent water chemistry while reducing manual adjustments.

The controller monitors pH and oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) through commercial-grade sensors. ORP measures sanitizer activity and allows the controller to manage compatible chlorine, bromine, salt-chlorine, acid, base, and other chemical-feed systems. The standard HCC2000 includes the controller, pH and ORP sensors, flow cell, flow sensor, installation tubing, fittings, and mounting backboard. Chemical feed pumps are not included with HCC2000; for a package with pre-mounted feed pumps, use model HCC2000-CP.

How the HCC 2000 Works

The pH sensor continuously measures the acidity or alkalinity of the pool water, while the ORP sensor measures sanitizer activity. The controller compares these readings with the programmed setpoints and activates the appropriate external chemical feeder when adjustment is required.

The integrated flow sensor provides an additional safety layer by disabling automatic chemical feeding when inadequate circulation is detected. Hayward also incorporates audible and visual alarms and diagnostic functions to help operators identify improper water chemistry or system conditions.

Customer-Facing Q&A

Q: Does the HCC2000 include chemical pumps?
A: No. The standard HCC2000 includes the controller, sensors, flow cell, flow sensor and installation components. For the model with pre-mounted chemical-feed pumps, use HCC2000-CP.

Q: Does the HCC2000 measure chlorine in PPM?
A: The HCC2000 controls sanitizer primarily through ORP, which measures the sanitizing activity of chlorine, bromine or other oxidizers rather than directly displaying a free-chlorine PPM measurement.

Q: Can it control a salt chlorine generator?
A: Yes. The HCC 2000 is designed for integration with compatible electronic salt chlorine generation and other chemical-feed systems.

Q: Is the HCC2000 suitable for commercial pools?
A: Yes. The HCC Series is part of Hayward's commercial water-quality management line and is designed for commercial pool and spa applications.

Q: Is the HCC2000 NSF certified?
A: Yes. Hayward identifies the HCC2000 as NSF/ANSI Standard 50 Certified.
