Equipments recommendation for a small salt water pool

[baraider]

Hi all,
New member from Texas here. I read the forum for a while when we started our construction last year.
Now it's time for me to pick equipments for the pool.

We have a small 10,000 gal rectangular infinity pool with a spa.
We already bought the pool heater and need to get a few pumps for the pool as well as the control board.

Pumps:
Thinking of Pentair. Probably 3 pumps: one for the air in the spa, one for the circulation and one for the overflow pool.
Can anyone please recommend which pump should we use for these?

Control board:
We build a smart home and would like to integrate the control of the pump, etc with our smart home platform URC.

Filtration:
For our salt water pool, what should we get.

Anything else should be on our list?

Can you Create Your Signature with your equipment? Do you already have a SWCG?

As for URC Automation it seems to be a closed system, but there are integrations for the older Pentair IntelliTouch and Hayward ProLogic systems. You should probably speak to your dealer to see what other pool automation systems they have integrations with.

Hi,
I have no equipment except for a Arctic Pool heater that uses inverter heat pump technology.
We will use Pentair IntelliCenter and have the AV guy tries to integrate it with URC

You should get one of the IntelliCenter bundles that has the IC40 included as that will save you money.

I would like one where we can use ethernet wires instead of wifi signal as we run conduit to all our equipment locations.
Would this use wires?
Thanks for all the help.

You can hard wire the Intellicenter using Ethernet cable from the J14 slot on the control board to a router. Be ware that brings risk of lightening surge damage to your indoor equipment.

Especially with the thunderstorms we have in Houston, this is a smart idea. I'd also recommend a surge protector at your equipment panel.

Also look at Ethernet surge protectors shown in the wiki.
