    Omni PL Upgrade Kit Hayward Automation

    I upgraded from the AquaLogic last spring (Mar 2023) and didn't have any issues all summer. Install was easy but time consuming. This may have been partly because I was taking lots of pictures to document the process.

    Omni PL Upgrade Kit Hayward Automation

    Same. I have the retrofit kit as well. Fully installed it a few weeks ago and like Jack mentioned, wifi setup was part of the initial configuration.

    Replacing a Hayward On Command automation system

    During the install there were indications that it is potentially compatible just that you have to adjust some wiring (there was a sticker on the wiring block refering to alternate instructions for On-Command/E-Command). Also, you may need to purchase a newer power transformer.

    Omni PL Upgrade Kit Hayward Automation

    There might be plenty of people on here with plenty of spare boards laying around since we've upgraded. LOL I still haven't decided what to do with my old board. As far as connectivity goes, the OmniPL upgrade kit has built-in wifi and setup was a breeze. I have a pretty good wifi signal at my...

    Omni PL Upgrade Kit Hayward Automation

    Ordered a kit from TC Pools Supply out of California. I'm always skeptical of ordering expensive stuff online, so I checked Hayward's site to see that they were an authorized reseller and even called them to chat. Seemed like they knew what they were talking about, so I pulled the trigger. Got...

    Adding SWG With Hayward OmniPL

    Yeah, sorry I can't type. To be more clear, plumbing a Hayward heat pump in series with a gas/solar heater can void the warranty.

    Adding SWG With Hayward OmniPL

    And Hayward specifically calls out that a heat pump and gas/solar heater must be plumbed in parallel to each other in order to void the warranty of the heat pump.

    Adding SWG With Hayward OmniPL

    Any reason why your heaters are plumbed in series? This might be an opportunity to install some bypass valves and reconfigure the heater plumbing into a parallel setup.

    Omni PL Upgrade Kit Hayward Automation

    Ok looks like someone else has already done this successfully in another thread, but it did require another part. The transformer which then technically makes your system SWG enabled. Just add salt cell. :)...

    Replacing a Hayward On Command automation system

    Do you have a SWG? There really isn't anything magical about the OmniPL upgrade from a P-4, PS-4, etc. Mostly just a board swap. Might be worth a call to Hayward direct or a local Hayward sales rep.

    Omni PL Upgrade Kit Hayward Automation

    I haven't done the upgrade yet and don't know much about the E-Command, but a quick search looks like it is basically the same setup with a different board. Do you have any pictures of the inside of your panel you could share for reference. As far as the settings go, it is just a matter of...

    Omni PL Upgrade Kit Hayward Automation

    Whelp, I pulled the trigger and got mined ordered today. Now I wait for the parts to arrive. I'll post back after I get everything installed and booted up. Might be a bit since we are still in the thick of cold weather here in the midwest.

    Omni PL Upgrade Kit Hayward Automation

    I'm actually wanting to do this upgrade. I'm just not sure if I have enough equipment to justify the cost of the upgrade. I only have the VSP, salt cell, and heater. I also wish I could do the upgrade myself (did the full install the first time myself) without losing the warranty.

    New OmniPL Install - Some Questions

    Just out of curiosity, did you have this done as the upgrade kit to an existing Aqua Plus setup? How much was it? Did you do a self install?
