Which Intellicenter personality kit?

[cstouder22]

I am trying to figure out how large of an Intellicenter I will need. The following is the equipment:

Intelliflo VS pump
Intellicenter with built in IC-60
Pentair 400 btu MasterTemp
3 bubblers
Pentair Clean and Clear 520
360 Perimeter overflow spa
5 scuppers
Dolphin cleaner
5 LED lights in pool
1 LED spa light
4 LED lights around the 6” trough around the perimeter overflow spa.

Will have landscape lighting around the yard as well and I would incorporate that into the Intellicenter (unless that’s not suggested)

Anything else I haven’t listed which would influence the size Intellicenter I would need? Thanks for your help!

You will need one relay for each light that you want to control independently. If you want every light to be the same color at the same time then you only need one relay. At worst, you will need 10 relays for just the lights alone.

If your bubblers have lights they will need relays. (same as above)

You will need a relay for the landscape lights
You will need a relay for the spa blower
You will need one relay for the Pump/Filter relay which will control the SWCG.
You will need one relay for the pad light
You will need at least 2 spare relays to control things in the future that you have yet to even think about.

I really doubt that you will be able to run all the features on one VS pump. Keep in mind that any VS pump will have to be one of the 3 HP IntelliFlo pumps as that is the one Pentair pump that has the required RS-485 control connection.

If you go with an additional single-speed water feature pump, it will need a relay

You will need several valves and actuators.. The basic set up comes with two actuators and allows for two more.. This takes care of the Intake and Return valves that switch between the Pool mode and Spa mode.. As a minimum, you will need an actuator for the 3 bubblers, and the 5 scuppers. This means you will have to buy two more actuators.

The size of the IntelliCenter has a lot to do with how you expect the system to work and how you want to control everything. The plumbing has to be set up to do what you want and then the automation must be able to support what you want the plumbing to do.
