Do you have smart phone control over your pool & spa? The concept is great - would love to be able to control it all on my phone but the cost and reliability are my big concerns.
Our new to us pool has a Hayward variable speed pump and a Raypak pool/spa heater along with a number of manual actuators (valves) including pool/spa, sheer descent, spa water feature.
To heat up the spa I need to manually change 2 or 3 actuators (valves), turn the variable speed pump on to high, and turn on the heater. If I need to change the temperature I need to do that at the heater (and I can't check the temperature). And when I turn the spa off I need to undo all the above settings and return the pump to automatic.
I got a quote from our new-to-us pool guy for $2870 for:
1. Prologic Pool/Spa Control PS4 Panel
2. Aqua Connect Bundle including:
* 2 actuators
* Aqua Connect Wireless Home Network device
* Hayward Wireless RF Antenna
* $300 labor
I priced the above hardware on Amazon and it totals $1936 (plus $300 labor would be $2236). Pool guy is obviously making money on the equipment too.
And the reviews on Amazon (small number) of the PLPS4 Pro Logic Panel are awful (motherboard problems are consistently reported).
Your comments/suggestions are welcome. Thanks!
