Pentair EC-523317 IntelliConnect Pool Control and Monitoring System - Limited Warranty

This controls our pool equipment (both pump and lights). Installed it in a day to replace a much more expensive and complex system. The controller is well built and seems resistant to the elements. The programming is easy but requires an application. Can adjust the chlorinator and read the sal level from the app. The app provides the RPM and watt consumption of the variable speed pump but does not provide flow. You'll need to look at the manual for the pump to see the actual flow for the RPM. So far no issues and I'd recommend this to the more complex and expensive options.

Este equipo permite controlar los equipos de la piscina de manera remota, bomba, calentador, luces entre otros.

It does not connect via Android phone. The app called Link2O is only available on Apple store so now I have to wait a bit til I buy Apple iphone

For a swimming pool controler it should do more than two functions. No solar, no, lights, no auxiliary functions. Had to purchase upgraded one.

We have a somewhat basic setup with a Sta-Rite Max-e-pro pump, Sta-Rite DE filter, two heaters (heat pump and Mastertemp), and an Ichlor unit. No hot tub. It took a bit to wire and run the comms but, once set up, the intelliconnect has been amazing. I receive email updates from my Ichlor about salt levels, I can adjust my pump schedule and speed, lighting, and heater operation/temp (for the Mastertemp) all from my phone. We use the heat pump electric unit for supplemental heating and it's not tied into the Intelliconnect. Pools are expensive and this is add-on unit no exception, but the efficiency it adds is great. Pro tip - be sure to order a temp sensor if using with a heater. Depending on your setup you may need to order shielded comm wire as well. Lastly, ensure you have a decent wifi signal wherever this will be installed.

I looked at a bunch of different options for controlling my pool equipment with my phone. Some are quite expensive and most were way more than what I needed. I only have a pump (IntelliFlo) and a heater. This IntelliConnect is easy to DIY install. The Pentair app is pretty good, I don't even use it much. One thing I like is that when the heater turns on it automatically ramps up the speed to satisfy the heater. That way I can leave the filtration schedule on a lower speed and leave the heater "On". Being able to adjust the temperature of the pool remotely is nice. Certainly not necessary, but a modern convenience, like using a WiFi thermostat. For $400, tough to beat the functionality. I highly recommend.

I had a professional install the device. I did the software setup without issues. App is pretty self explanatory for at least the basic setup I needed: One main pump and a booster pump. The app isn’t perfect but is definitely usable. Hardware is well built. One main benefit I noticed from competing products is that this product communicates on standard wifi. Some of the other products I saw that were cheaper did not and required a third party hub to translate their communication to a standard network. Big plus for this product in my opinion.

Pump turns on as long as it is in ‘auto’ mode. No control of ‘auto’ mode via phone
