Hi all! My pool is currently cutting edge for 1997, but I would like to bring it up to this century technology. However, I want to do this step by step, probably one big purchase per year. What is the advice out there on the order of adding new equipment? I know that some equipment is needed before others (ie. a VSP before a SWG), and just wanted this done in the most organized manner.
My equipment that plays into the equation.
-single speed pump
-solar heating panels
-manual valves to control flow to solar panel
-manual valves to control flow to pool/spa
Also have a sand filter, propane heater, pool is 30k in ground with spillover spa.
My current upgrade thoughts are:
1. Upgrade to a variable speed pump
2. Add a SWG
3. Solar panel controller
4. Automation panel
Is there anything major I am missing? Does this upgrade order make sense? Do I need a separate solar panel controller, or is that built into an automation panel? Thanks
