PoolPilot vs AquaLogic

[waterbear]

I had narrowed my choices down to the Pool Pilot Digital and the Aqualogic PS-8 when my pool was built. I opted for the automation and am happy that I did since I also have a spa, water features, and lighting in the pool, spa, and fiber optics in the water features, a heat pump, plus I have automation for a pressure side cleaner and solar once I save up enough to add them on. I have been more than happy with the chlorine generation feature of the Aqualogic. I will say that if I had not gone that route I would have chosen the Pool Pilot. It does have some nice features such as the auto temp compensation..but since I test my FC on a regular basis it is very easy to adjust my output on the Aqualogic using the remote in my house! I also like the freeze protection feature of the Aqualogic!

soccerdude,

The Pool Pilot does not currently allow you to run the boost pump on a separate time cycle and you will need a separate time clock to operate the Polaris. The internal relay is rated for 220 volts and up to 25 amps. Certainly sufficient to run both pumps at the same time, but again, your intention is not to run the booster pump for 8 - 10 hrs/day. Understandable.

However, if you have some time...hmmmm, imagine, a control box with a salt system and two independent relays. I LOVE "What if's..."
(but remember, you didn't hear that from me)

Then again...the Aqualogic has 4,8 or 16 relays depending on the model.

Then again...the Aqualogic has 4,8 or 16 relays depending on the model plus either 4 or 8 actuator valve hookups to automate the valves. That's the main reason I chose the Aqualogic over the PoolPilot Digital.
