easytouch 8 is 13 years old and has the pre 2012 panel. A couple of the actuators are not working and I've isolated it to the controller board. I replaced driver chips but that did not address the actuators not working.
I can replace the board for $500 to $700 or upgrade to the intellicenter, and had a couple of questions on the upgrade.
Screen logic 2 was added in 2018 and it works OK.
First question,
Can anyone answer which model number I need ? I found a great reference a couple of days ago but can't seem to find it again.
has pool/spa
has solar
is older load center before 2012
second question is the rebate only if I get it installed? I'm reading the rebate and is lists this:
TERMS OF OFFER
• IntelliCenter Upgrade Kit is a TradeGrade product and must be purchased froma brick-and-mortar retailer, pool builder, or pool service professional in order to qualify for rebate. Units purchased online or directly from an internet auctionsite are not eligible for rebate. Good for use by consumer only. Limit one offer per household.
Lastly, other than getting a newer app, does the IntelliCenter offer more? Are folks happy with the intellicenter ugrade?
I have a Sta Rite VS-3050, I'm using all the actuators, an IC40 and intellibrite color light.
I think the upgrade price is around $1500, so with rebate $1000.
Trying to decide if this worth $300 to $500 to get on newer tech
