Lots of great advice so far. I have full hayward equipment myself, but the prologic as Omni logic wasn’t available when we built our pool inn2017.
On the robots; I’ve had a hayward aqua vac which was part of the pool build and was a great robot. The motor went out which hayward replaced under warranty just short of two years old. I sold it off and bought the M600. The dolphin is by far superior. It both cleans better, and is easier to empty and maintain. You can’t go wrong with either, but I’d go for the M600 if you can get your hands on it.
My other comment would be the filter. Get the larger size up, the 7030, especially with dogs. I have had both my labs and my golden retriever in the pool constantly and I only find I need to clean it once a year before spring opening without ever seeing any increases in pressure. I clean it more out of I need to do it for maintenance than necessity. The oversize to me gets me enjoying the pool more with less filter cleaning. The downside is cleaning the 8 cartridges is a bit tedious, but not hard.
I’d also recommend that if you’re planning on bubblers or any other water features, get a single speed second pump. That way you can automate them with a touch of the control... waterfalls and bubblers on and off without effecting pool circulation which would be your VS pump. Ours is fine that way and it’s nice to not have them on if not needed. As far as larger pump, you’ll get more suction at lower rpm, which may help the longevity of the motor... won’t work as hard over the same time period as the smaller hp pump. Is it a guarantee? No, but likely will last longer.
