    New controller recommendations?

    I have the opportunity after the recent hard freeze here while I was out of town to replace most of my pool equipment. I don't currently have any type of smart controller (just those old manual timers). I'm looking for recommendations from folks for what's a good mix of price, features, and automation capability with HS.

    I'll be replacing at least:
    • Main filter pump
    • Booster pump for cleaner
    • Cleaner (?) Not sure if it works since booster pump is out
    • Pool light (with LED)
    • Manual timers for pumps
    • Install automatic fill


    EDIT: Current filtration system is Pentair, with the 1980's style multi-position handle valve to control backwash, normal flow, drain, etc.

    Any ideas?

    Less $300 Socal Gas rebate (300.00)
    Net 12,555.81

    Sorry about the formatting - pasted from spreadsheet. The above included salt startup, programming, etc. The only thing not included was the Autelis Intellitouch intertface to my PC (don't recall the price-bought separately) and Spud's Autelis Plug-in.

    All works well together. I mostly use the Pentair mobile app, but nice to have the HS plugin as well.

    I bought equipment and installation from local source, and switched pool service to them. You need to make sure they (installer and pool service people) know how to install/program/use the Intellitouch system.

    I use a Dolphin pool cleaner so I only have 1 pump.

    Hope that helps.
