Favorite transformer/timers?

[KeysNole]

Currently finishing up a project and looking for transformer/timer recommendations:
2 3hp intelliflos
1 2hp blower
7 lights
No automation

Lights are controlled via a switch inside the home. Blower currently has an old timer from the previous setup. Looking for a nice setup to possibly run everything through (can exclude blower).

Keys,

Well the two IntelliFlo pumps have internal timers and should be connected to constant AC power..

You have to use 'pool rated' transformers.. Just wanted to make sure you understood you can't just use any generic transformer.

What specific IntelliFlo pumps do you have?? The IntelliFlo3 has an app for remote control.

Thanks,

Jim R.

We have two Intelliflo 011075 models. They will need to be setup via the app as they do not have panels. The timers we will replace are intermatics...just want to make sure we will be purchasing the appropriate ones.

Key,

Since you have the IntelliFlo3, you should just add a relay card to it and then you could control the blower from the pump app.

Does the blower work off of a timer?? If so, that would be odd.

Your new pumps should get constant AC power and are not normally connected to a timer.

You could use a Wi-Fi switch to turn the blower on and off.. What else would you need a timer for?

Thanks,

Jim R.

We are replacing old components on a remodel.
Existing breaker box to be upgraded to GFI
Existing timer for pool to be removed
There is also an existing timer for the blower
We are happy to consolidate and make life easier

Here are the existing panel box (which we need to convert to GFI breakers), existing timer/transformer, and existing timer for the spa blower
