IntelliTouch automation offers superior control systems from small to the most ambitious pool and spa designs including water features and spectacular lighting effects. They offer innovative technology and a wide range of wireless and wired control panels that are easy to program with simple menus to enable pool owners to create and change programs without complication. Users can choose the Wi-Fi enabled Tablet, the compact Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) or the MobileTouch wireless (900MHz) control panel to complete their pool and spa automation system.

Features include ThermalFlo heat pump cooling support, SpaCommand spa-side remote control of IntelliFlo pumps, MagicStream laminar support and control panel lock-out.

IntelliTouch offers advanced control technology to suit individual needs including:

ScreenLogic User Interfaces – enabling IntelliTouch users to control their pool and spa features using wireless colour touch screen devices including PDA and Tablets. ScreenLogic systems now have advanced features such as remote monitoring and control over the internet and email alerts for specific events. Other wired interface options are also available to control pool and spa features via a desktop or laptop PC from within the home or on the road.

Salt chlorine feature – enabling IntelliTouch users to control and monitor popular salt chlorine generators including Pentair's IntelliChlor, Goldline, AutoPilot and AutoClear from the control panel or MobileTouch personal digital wireless control panel. Users do not have to adjust the salt chlorine generator at the equipment pad.

Support for IntelliFlo pumps – IntelliFlo is the intelligent swimming pool pump that is changing all the rules. Adaptable to any application up 240 volts and 600 litres per minute, you simply program IntelliFlo's speed to suit the application. IntelliFlo then dials in the perfect power factor. IntelliFlo constantly monitors water flow and electrical current, making sure that the filtration system is operating at peak efficiency. And that means energy savings never before possible – up to 90 per cent over conventional pumps.

Advanced Colour Lighting – enabling users to experience a world of lighting animation when teamed up with Pentair, IntelliBrite, SAm , SAL and/or FIBERworks. One of the most dramatic innovations is the swimming colours feature in which colours appear to swim through the water, pouring into one another.

IntelliTouch systems offer the flexibility to handle from 5 to 40 circuits that can be used to contol any combination of pumps, lights, water features, etc. As an added benefit, user-configurable circuits (Feature Circuits) can also be used to control these combinations of features and more. Feature Circuits even add Marco possibilities where any number of circuits can be combined on a single button. This gives the pool owner the ability to set up “themes” with custom names all with one press of a single button.
