Our Jandy PLC-1400 is in need of replacement, and our pool guy is recommending a Pentair IC-20 over a Jandy replacement, saying they're better for longevity/reliability. He's been excellent and I trust his advice, but he said ultimately either would work but has had better experiences with Pentair.
Everything else in our automated system is Jandy, pump, filter, etc. and we use the iAqualink web interface iOS app. I've seen comments online that automated pool systems work best when all components are of the same brand, and also the Pentair SWG's have some built-in circuitry that the Jandy's don't, which makes me wonder if it'd work as seamlessly in the system.
We'd also have to buy a power center for the Pentair while the Jandy SWG wouldn't require one, but the extra expense isn't a big deal if the Pentair is that much better...
Any opinions on how well a Pentair SWG would work in a Jandy system?
