Pentair intelliconnect with Hayward variable pump

[Redflagpool]

Hi everyone
I currently am looking to add an inexpensive heater automation device to my pool
I have a raypak heater
Hayward variable speed pump
Hayward salt system
Sand filter
I was looking at the Pentair intelliconnect but was told by my pool service company that it wouldn’t be able to connect to my system since I have a Hayward variable pump . Is this correct ?
I only want to be able to control my heater from my phone and automate a schedule for the heater .
Any suggestions ? Any advice ?
Will this product work for me ?

rfp,

We always recommend using the same brand of equipment when installing an automation system.. The automation, the VS pump and the SWCG all need to be able to "talk" with one another. In some cases, off brand equipment can be controlled, but it depends on which equipment, what firmware is installed, etc..

The real problem is that when it does not work, no one will take responsibility for the problem.. It is always the other guy's fault.. ?

Thanks,

Jim R.
