Good morning,
Our pool was just completed this past month and we didn’t think we cared about automation. My wife of course is already annoyed at having to tell me to switch to the spa (and me having to physically do it). The problem is I’ve talked to several dealers/pool companies around here and everyone has a different opinion or greatly contradicts each other.
Our setup: ~6000 gallon pool with a spillover spa. We have 2 bubblers on a sun shelf and no other water features.
Equipment: Hayward VS Maxflow 500
Gulf Stream Heat pump pool heater
Hayward colorlogic lights (2, one switch)
Hayward salt system
Spa blower
We have a vac line we don’t use as we bought a pentair warrior se. Turning the bubblers on and off remotely isn’t that big a deal for us, really we just want to be able to kick the spa and heater on, turn the lights on etc.
We have several quotes so far;
Two OmniLogic setups with 2 valves for between 3800 and 4000.
Two OmniPL between 3500 and 4200.
An OmniHub for 4800.
And an Aqualink for 2375 with the caveat we wouldn’t be able to really control our pump.
No one seems to agree on what is needed and the price difference is crazy. I am pulling my hair out on this and no one seems to care except to just sell a product with the exception of the Jandy, who was upfront that there would be trade offs. I did read somewhere about a “pump link” but cannot find that thread.
Any help or guidance would be so gratefully appreciated. We are located in Southwest Florida if that helps with the pricing questions. I did have someone in Tampa tell me the retail cost on the Hayward was between 1,000 to 1,600 based on the model (base).
