What Aqualink do I have and how can I upgrade?

[weiyin]

Hi, all.

I seem to have an Aqualink RS6 with a blue PDA. As far as I know, everything is done through the PDA and there is no internet connectivity. It runs a dual-speed Jandy Stealth pump, Jandy JXI heater, and Aquapure salt cell. Installed around 2008, I believe.

I would like to upgrade my controller to support internet connectivity and a variable speed pump. What do I need to do to achieve both? I would like to continue to be able to use the PDA as well, if possible.

Looking at the wiki, it looks like the CPU revision is important, but how do I find it? The PDA says:

PDA-PS6 Combo
PPD: PDA 2.6.1
J-Box: 3.0
Handheld: 3.0

Thanks for your help!

You need the IQ30-RS upgrade kit that will make your system a RS8.

You can leave your PDA antenna installed to use your PDA for basic controls but you will not be able to do any programming using your PDA. You will use the Aqualink app for programming of your new system.
