Controller Recommendations

[jmoore312]

Any recommendations for a controller? Don't really need the phone app capabilities, just something fairly simple. My equipment will be:

Inground 15' x 30' rectangular, depths of 3.5' x 5' x 4' with 7' x 7' spa in pool. Jandy 2 HP Variable Speed, Zodiac 1.5 HP Spa Blower, Polaris 280, Pentair Quad 60 DE Cartridge Style Filter, Hayward 400DP Propane Heater.

J,

Even though I am a highly biased Pentair guy, I would recommend that you go with a Jandy controller. I say this because automation systems always work better when the pump, controller, and SWCG, all come from the same manufacturer.

Most heaters can be controlled by almost any automation, so that is not an issue.

While you think now that you don't need remote monitoring, my guess is that if I magically gave it to you, and you used it for a week, I'd be hard pressed for you to give it back...

So, even if you don't buy it now, I'd want the capability to add it later.

Thanks for posting,

Jim R.
