The iaqualink is an interface. It's not the automation.
I would suggest the PureLink Sub-Panel Power Center for Automation and Salt Water Chlorination, which gives you a subpanel and the SWG power supply in one box.
Then, you select the system board. For a pool only (no spa) with 8 relays, you would choose the RS-P8.
You might not need 8 relays, but they are nice to have.
For example, you might want to put the lights on separate relays if you only want to use one or two lights sometimes instead of all 3 all the time.
You can use a RS-P4 For 4 relays or a RS-P6 for 6 relays.
One relay is always filter pump. The booster pump would need a relay if you want to keep that.
The lights need at least one relay.
The ledge light needs a relay.
The secondary pump can be put on a relay or not if it's variable speed.
The heat pump won't get a relay but it will need a big breaker for power.
Then, you need a cell. I would suggest the 1400 cell.
Maybe consider going with a robot instead of the Polaris 280 cleaner.
What is the secondary pump for?
For a water feature, you probably don't need a separate pump, you can just use the main pump return and a valve.
Thank you for the information. I basically designed the pool with my PB and then went over some details and then we started building. I then started looking for resources online and found this site. So I let it up to the PB for the equipment. Which, so far he seems pretty great. Of course some things could be changed maybe but I didn't ask for model numbers or anything. They delivered the equipment last Thursday and I got the SQ120 for the heat pump and chiller and while it seems it is maybe enough for my pool I opted to have him swap it out for the SQ166 because I want to be sure in the summer in these Texas heats that it will chill enough as well.
With that said, along the way I did change some things. Like the day before they wired up the pool I asked about controlling the lights differently. So we decided on controlling the 3 main pool lights on 1 relay, the tanning ledge light on another and then another for the tanning ledge bubbler. There is also another that we've added for landscaping lighting.
Looking at photos I took when they delivered everything I got the RS-PS6.
I originally thought the secondary pump was for the Polaris 280 but yesterday they installed the equipment and brought another pump for that and it is the Polaris PB4SQ.
So he probably got the secondary pump for the water features. I will have to ask though. We have the bubbler, a larger corner seat with a waterfall feature and then waterfall feature coming out of the diving pedestal.
I have read mixed reviews on the pool cleaners. I was going to bail on the 280 but there are so many different reviews I decided that if I really wanted to I could just get a robot if I am not happy. So I have the option of both.
It looks like for the sub panel I got Jandy Purelink Aqualink RS 6614AP-L.
When we moved here a year ago we needed a home that was basically finished because we couldn't wait to build. There was a couple who were being transferred here who basically built the house but then when it came time to move the transfer didn't go through so the builder was trying to unload the home so we got an awesome deal. With that said they had already built a panel outside near the pool for pool equipment. I guess they were going to put a pool where we did, lol. At any rate they said that was enough for all of the equipment except for the heat pump and chiller. So we have to go through the garage, up through the second story and all the way over to the other side of the house to drop another line for the heat pump.
For the salt water generator we got the Fusion Soft Nature 2 1400 which I see some people don't like. But hey, it is installed so we shall see what happens.
You guys are very helpful here. We shall see how it goes soon.
Waiting for them to wire up the equipment and waiting for it to be warm enough in the next week or two weeks to plaster and startup.
