Upgrading Compool 3800 system

[QPSUtah]

Curious what others would recommend to upgrade a client from the compool 3800 system. Intellicenter? Their system consists of a single speed whisperflo, hayward aquarite salt cell, pentair MT250 heater (older/fireman switch connection).

As part of the compool system, it includes a pool side display/control panel. I assume if I were to go to an intellicenter system with the wired wall mounted remote (522035), that I would not be able to use whatever wire/connections is currently in the wall for the compool system, and it would need to be re-ran. I see Pentair also has a wireless remote option (522036), but that it requires a cradle, but I suppose a small shelf could be built on the wall and a plug added to be able to power that. Anyway, thinking through options.

The pool side control panel indoors or outdoors?

The IntelliCenter wired wall panel uses a 4 wire cable. If the Compool control panel is indoors and has a 4 wire cable then the wire should be able to be reused.

Everything is indoors. The Pentair rep locally here said it would likely need a different gauge wire, but good to know re 4 wire cable may work.

Because the compool is not a load center, I’ve quoted the customer an intellicenter lite to use alongside the existing breaker panel.

I would try the existing cable before pulling another one. Gauge of the wire depends on the length of the cable and the voltage drop.

Will do.
