So, in my preliminary research on this, there are 3 primary options -- Hayward Omnihub, Pentair Intellicenter, and Jandy-something -- but the internet is kind of a mess on the subject, so I don't know what else is out there, whether any of these fall into the "hard avoid" category, and whether there's a general consensus on which one is "best." I know from experience in other areas that there are often lots of options for devices that do similar things, but the community tends to settle on one that rises to the top, and I'm wondering if that's the case here too.
I have the following:
I have the following:
- 25,000 gallon basic rectangle vinyl in-ground pool (2 returns, 1 skimmer, 1 vac)
- Hayward SWG setup w/ Aquarite 900 panel & TCell 940 cell.
- Rheem Heater
- Intellipro VSF Pump
- monitor pH, FC, and salt (others would be nice, but not necessary)
- adjust the chlorine output from the SWG (ideally, automatically based on the FC levels reported by the monitor)
- notify me if pH is high or low with instructions on what to add and how much
- notify me if salt is low with instructions of how much to add
- allow me to put the VS pump on a schedule and otherwise adjust speeds remotely
- allow me to open/close valves (drain, skimmer, vac) remotely
- allow me to turn on/off, and adjust temp on heater remotely
- add pH Up or pH Down preloaded into some sort of hopper/reservoir, as necessary (again, ideally automatically based on the FC levels reported by the monitor)
