I am planning to upgrade my one-speed pump to a VSP pump in a year or so.
I have an Aqualink RS8 PowerCenter/Controller (no PDA, no Wifi) that is probably 10+ years old (8 relays for Filter pump/heater, air blower, cleaner/booster pump, water feature pump, pool light, water feature light, spa light, and waterfall light)

The diagnostic reading from the controller indicates that I have "8156 Rev K"
The back of the printed circuit board indicates that I have "PCB#8124A Assembly#8125"

Questions that I have:
1) Can I use this PowerCenter with a VSP pump? If so, any guidance how (or where to look) to hook up the wiring?
2) Since I have a Jandy Aqualink PowerCenter, any recommendations of which VSP pump to get to ensure compatibility or to avoid due to quirks working with Aqualink?
3) If I have to upgrade, which upgrade kit do I need or should look at?
4) Is there a website that explains the different Aqualink Revisions?
5) when I went through the diagnostics on the controller, I got some extra information that I have no clue what it is talking about. Any ideas what is "Cal: -23 0 5" and "SPA SW BOARD"?Screenshot_20220902-203631.jpg

Thanks.
