    Upgrade Guide

    How to upgrade an old pool controller

    Upgrading an older pool controller doesn't necessarily mean replacing all your existing equipment. In many cases, we can integrate your current pumps, heating, and lighting into a modern automation platform like Pentair IntelliCenter.

    What should be assessed before upgrading?

    Before recommending a system, we review your current plant room setup. We look at:

    • The age and condition of your existing equipment
    • Compatibility of variable-speed pumps and heating systems
    • Current lighting transformers and wiring
    • Whether you have a pool-only or pool-and-spa combination
    • Your goals for remote access and smartphone control

    Can IntelliCenter work with existing equipment?

    Yes, Pentair IntelliCenter is highly adaptable. It can often control non-Pentair equipment using standard relays. For older Pentair systems like EasyTouch or IntelliTouch, upgrade kits are available that replace the main circuit board and control panel without requiring a completely new enclosure.

    What photographs are required for a pool automation assessment?

    To help us provide accurate advice, please upload clear photographs of:

    • Your main pool equipment pad (wide shot)
    • The existing controller or timer box (with the door open if possible)
    • Any sub-panels or circuit breakers connected to the pool
    • Labels on your main pump, heater, and chlorinator
