I'm debating between ScreenLogic and iAquaTouch. Seems you like your Pentair setup and ScreenLogic. Any regrets?The chairs weren't difficult or expensive but the cushions were where the expense was. I think the cushions were almost$3000... That's what happens when you make things way oversized and custom.
I have a problem
Oops, typo, yes I meant IAquaLink. This is for a new pool build, so all options are on the table. I plan to use an IntelliFlo pump for certain. I understand if I use IntelliChlor SWG that I will want to use an Easytouch controller. I had a pool builder recommend pentair equipment except for the controller, stating that IAquaLink was better. I like what I've read about Pentair and really looking for advice on how well ScreenLogic works...especially the iPhone/iPad app. Is it easy for wife to control lights, spa, etc or will I get tech support calls when I'm out of town?
I'll download it and check it out. The Jandy controller Aqualink RS actually does work with the Intelliflo pump. I looked at a pool that used the Aqualink RS with the Intelliflo pump. You are correct that it is does not work well with other non-Pentair equipment. I like the Raypak suggestion, I think I'll go that route. There seems to be a lot more proponents of Pentair Easy Touch on here...so I'm leaning that direction. Are you using the Easy Touch 4 or 8? I don't think I really need the additional 4 relays.
I believe you also need to purchase the Screen Logic 2 interface for another $370, so you are looking at $2,170. So in this case I think the PSL4 only saves about $370 which I agree is somewhat marginal. I'm not sure I'm going with a SWG (will decide after making coping choice)...so in the non-SWG case the savings is > $500. I tried to think about what I would control and how many different programs and pump speeds are needed (being limited to 4 pump speeds and 4 programs does suck). Would you look at my thinking below and shot holes in it? It seems I can't have 3 independent light circuits and a blower, but I plan to try to run without a blower.
| Circuit | Function | Program | Pump speed | Comment |
| spa | Manual | Speed 1 | spa jets cranking | |
| pool | Program 1 | Speed 2 | pool filtration | |
| Aux 1 | Spa Lights | Program 2 | N/A | |
| Aux 2 | Pool Lights | Program 2 | N/A | |
| Aux 3 | Landscape lights or blower | Program 2 | N/A | |
| Feature circuit 1 | spa spill over | Program 3 | Speed 3 | spa circulation |
| Feature circuit 2 | ||||
| Valve Actuator - Aux A | waterfall | Manual | Speed 4 | water feature |
| Valve Actuator - Aux B |
I really want a SWG in which case I'll go with the big boy...just need to convince the wife to pick a friendly coping. I really want to get this build started, but too many options design wise.
