The Pentair Intellitouch Automation Personality Kits have six models available for various pool and spa combinations. Each personality kit provides complete pool and spa controls that are fully programmable. Every circuit has a countdown timer, ability to do onetime-use programs, salt generation interface for popular salt chlorinators, spectacular colored pool per spa lighting effects, along with solar control capabilities. In addition, there are various options available including light dimming, smart home interface, spa-side remote switches, valve actuators for water flow control, additional indoor wired or wireless user interface control panels, and even telephone remote control.
The Pentair IntelliTouch i7+3 Personality Kit, Pool Spa Combination, Filter + 6 Aux (Part No. 521220) is a premium automation package designed to manage a pool and spa combination using a single set of equipment. This personality kit integrates control over the filter pump along with six auxiliary circuits, offering a centralized solution for managing additional features like water heaters, lights, water features, and other pool accessories.
Key Features
-
Comprehensive Control: The kit is engineered to handle both pool and spa operations from a single intelligence center. It manages the primary filter pump as well as up to six auxiliary circuits, which can power various equipment in your pool or spa installation. This unified approach simplifies scheduling and energy management while protecting your investments by monitoring system conditions.
-
Enhanced Automation: Designed as part of the IntelliTouch family, the kit supports features such as digital thermostatic heater control, filter pump regulation, and even a salt generation interface for popular salt chlorinators. It also supports Pentair’s IntelliFlo Variable Speed pumps, helping to further optimize energy usage and equipment performance.
-
Integrated Valve Actuation: To facilitate proper water flow between the pool and the spa, the kit typically includes two valve actuators. These actuators automatically divert water flow based on the operating mode, ensuring that each water feature receives optimal service.
-
Robust Relay Support: While the personality kit itself provides the core intelligence for pool/spa management, it works in tandem with external load centers (which may include additional high-power relays) to handle larger equipment. In many installations, the kit controls two 3‑HP rated relays, ensuring that heavy-duty components like pumps and heaters are switched reliably.
Applications & Benefits
-
Pool & Spa Combinations: Ideal for installations where the pool and spa share a common set of equipment, this kit brings seamless integration and scheduling of multiple functions. Whether you’re managing filtration cycles, temperature regulation, or auxiliary lighting, it offers an all-in-one solution.

Energy Efficiency and Equipment Protection: With its built-in sensors and programmable features, the IntelliTouch system can detect issues such as freezing conditions, alert you to problems, or even take automatic corrective action. This proactive management helps maximize equipment lifespan and save on energy costs.
-
Customizable & Expandable Setup: The i7+3 Personality Kit forms a core component of a larger automation ecosystem. It is compatible with a range of control interfaces—from standard indoor panels to wireless remotes and ScreenLogic interfaces—providing flexibility to upgrade or expand your setup according to your preferences.
