Hayward Automation Systems

Hayward does not make it easy to understand the various automation systems Hayward sells and has sold.

Hayward aquired Goldline in August 2004 to get their pool automation product line. You will see systems branded and refereed to as Goldline Systems.

Hayward Automation Guide

Technical Updates for Pool Professionals shows all the pump models that work with Omni-Based systems.

Hayward OmniLogic

OmniLogic (Control): Automation system that has breakers in the unit. Most high/low voltage capability. Top system in their automation tiers. Controls 4 bodies of water (pool, spa, etc.), 16 variable pumps, 4 and expandable up to 8 actuators, up to 5 heaters, includes 4 and expandable to 10 high voltage relays (lights, booster pump, etc.), 4 expandable to 8 low voltage relays, comes ready for salt chlorination, 12 breakers in panel, need to add wifi.

For more information see Hayward OmniLogic.

Hayward OmniPL

OmniPL (Control): Automation system that has breakers in the unit. Has fewer high voltage and low voltage relays than OmniLogic Automation Panel (hardware) and more than Omnihub (Control). Middle system in their automation tiers. Controls 3 bodies of water (pool, spa, etc.), 8 variable pumps, 4 actuators, 2 heater + 1 solar, 8 high voltage relays (lights, booster pump, etc.), 2 low voltage relay, comes ready for salt chlorination, 8 breakers in panel, built in wifi.

Hayward OmniHub

Omnihub (Control): The product you can use to retrofit automation into an existing system. No breakers in unit. If you want to add this to an S3 system after the fact, this is the model number: AQRS3OMNIKIT. Lowest system in the automation tiers. Controls 4 bodies of water (pool, spa, etc.), 3 variable pumps, 2 actuators, 1 heater + 1 solar, 3 high voltage relays (lights, booster pump, etc.), 1 low voltage relay, can add AquaRite for chlorination, built in wifi.

AquaRite S3 Omni: Salt system + Omnihub Automation. Uses OmniLogic app.

OmniLogic App

OmniLogic App: App used to control everything remotely. Software. Not to be confused with OmniLogic Hardware. The app can be used across multiple hardware products.

Hayward Prologic

Hayward discontinued AquaLogic in 2008 and replaced it with Prologic. Hayward Automation Guide describes the different versions of the Prologic system and its capabilities.

The ProLogic automation uses an AquaConnect software.

For more information see Hayward ProLogic.

Hayward AquaLogic

Goldline introduced AquaLogic in 2003. Hayward acquired Goldline in August of 2004. Hayward discontinued AquaLogic in 2008 and replaced it with Hayward ProLogic.

For more information see Hayward Aqualogic

Hayward AquaPlus

The AquaPlus controller is identical to the Prologic P4 (pool only) controller with four high voltage relays. The ProLogic System required you to buy the SWG cell separately whereas the cell was bundled with the AquaPlus.
