Hi,
I am planning on updating my 1.5HP motor for one of the variable speed motors.
i am thinking of either the
- Pentair Intelliflo
- Jacuzzi J-VSP250 (has a 5 year warrantee and cheap installation)
Details of my current set up are in my sig.
I want to also use the Jandy Aqualink controller I have. There is an upgrade available that will let me control via iPhone, etc.
Questions:
- Is there any info about how well the Aqualink (last version via the upgrade) works with either of those pumps?
- I am sure it is better to buy the same automation from the same company as the pump, but that seems like overkill
- Are there serious compromises by not using the same company for both the controller and pump?
It needs to be easy for the family to use:
- Bypass the programming to turn on the spa and have it heated by the solar and/or the gas (do that today via the RS8 controller)
- Resort to normal programming for filtering when done.
Thanks all!
