Key Features

• Pool & spa shared-equipment control – dedicated INTAKE and RETURN valve outputs automatically switch flow between pool and spa with one tap.
• 10-function relay capacity – ships with 5 relays (filter pump + 4 auxiliary circuits); add up to 5 more relays for a total of 10 (filter pump + 9 AUX).
• 2 IntelliValve actuators included – 13-LED position indicator, push-button setup, sealed weatherproof housing, fits 1.5″, 2″, 2.5″ and 3″ valves.
• Salt ready – factory SCG transformer, dedicated 12A SCG breaker and salt cell blank kit included; just add an IntelliChlor cell. Wired to the filter pump relay so chlorine is only produced when water is flowing.
• High-powered wireless – links the equipment pad to your home network for app control, alerts and over-the-air firmware updates.
• Color touchscreen + setup wizard – 4″ x 3″ display with step-by-step on-screen configuration.
• Built-in breaker subpanel – load center design rated 150A at 120/240 VAC, so pool equipment breakers live right at the pad.
• Pro remote monitoring – service companies can monitor and troubleshoot through IntelliCenter Remote Access for Pros, reducing service trips.

Benefits for Homeowners and Pool Pros

• Spa on demand: turn on the spa, swing the valves and fire the heater from your phone so it is hot when you get home.
• Lower energy costs: schedule variable speed pumps by time and speed, and use Flexible Demand features to join utility incentive programs (user opt-in).
• Room to grow: add lights, water features, a booster pump or a second heater later without replacing the system.
• Fewer chemicals to handle: integrated IntelliChlor salt chlorination is monitored and adjusted from the same screen.
• Faster installs: one box with the enclosure, relays, transformers, wireless and actuators already matched.
