Key Features
-
Centralized Control for Pool & Spa: The i9+3 Personality Kit is specifically designed for installations where the pool and spa share the same equipment. In addition to managing the filtration system (Filter circuit), it oversees eight auxiliary circuits (8 Aux) that can power heaters, lighting, water features, and other accessories.
-
Enhanced Automation & Programming: With a sophisticated, menu-driven interface, the kit allows you to program different operating cycles, ensuring that your pool and spa run their respective functions efficiently. It comes with built-in sensors that monitor conditions (such as freezing) and can take automatic corrective actions to protect your equipment.
-
Integrated Valve Control: For pool/spa combinations, managing water flow is critical. This kit typically includes valve actuators that help divert water between the pool and spa operating modes, ensuring optimal performance and temperature regulation for both.
-
Robust Electrical Handling: Designed to work with high-power devices, the system controls multiple circuits through relays rated for heavy-duty use (often switching up to 3 horsepower loads). This setup provides a reliable and safe method to power everything from pumps to additional aux circuits.
-
Remote & Wireless Compatibility: The IntelliTouch family supports integration with various interfaces—whether you prefer a hard-wired indoor panel, a wireless MobileTouch remote, or even smartphone control via ScreenLogic. This flexibility allows you to choose the control method that best suits your lifestyle.
