I am a relatively new pool owner with the purchase of our new home in October '18. The existing pool automation is a Pentair Compool CP100 system with an electromechanical timer to control the main pool filtration task and a couple of motorized Jandy valves that control flow to the attached spa. My desire is to upgrade the system in a manner that allows me to control the pool automation from my smartphone or computer. Additionally, I am considering upgrading the system to automate the chemical balance using SBControls Chemtrol 255 controller. My first step is to replace the existing worn out single speed pump with a variable speed unit.
I'm not very familiar with the Pentair family of controls so I'd like some feedback on my parts selection and overall plan. Thanks in advance!
Parts I think I need:
It ain't gonna be cheap! However, I think it will significantly reduce the manual chlorination and pH adjustment I go through on an almost daily basis. Also concerned about how well Cl will remain "fresh" in a container stored outside in my pool equipment enclosure in 100+ degree heat.
