Hi All. Just had a new pool and spa built and it came with the jandy PDA remote. We were supposed to get the iAquaLink phone control but it didn’t happen. Can anyone help me figure out how to convert to the iAquaLink so we can use both the PDA remote and the iPhone control. Thanks! Having a hard time figuring out what I need to buy

Welcome to TFP.
What you need depends if you want to retain programming your Aqualink using the PDA or using the app. You cannot have it both ways.

p/n iQ20-A will upgrade the AquaLink PDA - Rev 6.0 & newer. If you have the Aqualink PDA, and not the RS, the Web Connect Device alone just adds wireless capability to your PDA system. You still use the PDA to program everything. This basically adds SmartPhone ability to turn things on and off. It is a wholly useless upgrade.
If you have a Aqualink PDA system the iQ20-RS or iQ30-RS changes your system from being PDA based to being web-based. You will no longer use your PDA to program Aqualink. And that functionality will disappear from the PDA menu options. This is a good thing. Like said above, you will never use your PDA again and it you want to recoup some of your money, the going rate for PDAs are around $500 or so. If you include your PDA antenna you could probably get $700 for it all.
The IQ20-RS upgrade consists of a WiFi antenna and a new daughter processor board. Once installed, Jandy will be able to control your system remotely if you call for help. Be advised, if you lose Internet access, you will not be able to change any programming on your local system including scheduling. Scheduling will still run, however. And you will only be able to turn things on/off if you have a wired panel (like a OneTouch) or the PDA as a backup.
