Hello everyone,
I am new to the pool game and already I am seeing that my baseline pool needs upgrading. I am installing thermal solar soon and was anticipating upgrading to the Pentair solar touch controller and VS pump, but now I am realizing that I should have a controller for the IC40 as well to give me more info about the system than just the blinky lights. I haven't looked closely at the pump controller, but it is basically a breaker box with two analog clock switches to control the primary and booster pumps. I assume I must already have the IC40 transformer, so can someone steer me to the best options for a Pentair controller that will manage both the salt system and the thermal array? Or do I need an new controller AND the solar touch controller? thanks so much, Mark
