Hi all, we just installed a Pentair Ultratemp hybrid heat pump/gas combo heater for our existing inground pool. We have solar so we decided to do the hybrid unit to have the option to use gas or electric plus we live in SoCal so no worries with temps.
The pool builder is giving me the option to add remote access with a mobile app to turn the heater on and off, etc. He quoted me over 3K for an aqua link system. It just seems really costly just for mobile access. I’m not asking for automation system. I just want a remote app so I can check on the temperature from my phone and be able to turn it off and on.
Does anyone have the system and use a remote app? The pool builder said that Pentair does not have a system that works with a hybrid so he’s trying to sell me on the aqua link system, which is by Jandy. Our pool pump is a Hayward with our Pentair heater? I looked into the Pentair IntelliCenter? So I’m not sure why he is pushing the aqua link system. I’m sure he’s pretty knowledgeable but I also don’t want to keep over paying for everything.
Any other inexpensive options that anyone has used before I fork over extra money for the system he is recommending? Thanks
