EasyTouch Pool and Spa Control System Overview
Welcome to the EasyTouch Pool and Spa Control system − The next generation in automatic control systems.
The EasyTouch 8 or EasyTouch 4 system allows you to automatically control all of your spa and pool daily
operations. Pool and spa service operations can be manually controlled from the EasyTouch outdoor control
panel located at the pool equipment pad. Also available is the optional Indoor Control Panel and wireless
control panel which allows automatic control of pool and spa operations from inside you home or outside
around your pool area.
The EasyTouch 8 or EasyTouch 4 control system can control high voltage (120 VAC / 240 VAC) equipment,
automatic valve actuators, pumps, lighting, a conventional heater or a solar heating system, heat pump (heating/
cooling or both), and the optional IntelliChlor salt chlorine generator and IntelliChem water chemistry
controller.
Operating EasyTouch Control System
The EasyTouch control system is designed to automatically control your pool and spa equipment, lights and
other optional equipment. However, you can also manually control all EasyTouch control system operations
from the outdoor control panel. Using the "Mode" button, the system can be switched from "Auto" mode
(normal operating mode) to "Service" mode for manual operation and service purposes. Using the outdoor
control panel buttons you can manually override any automatic settings. If required, the EasyTouch outdoor
control panel can be password protected. To access a password protected control panel, enter the four digit
assigned password.
EasyTouch Control System
There are two EasyTouch control system configurations available; EasyTouch 8 (auxiliary circuits) and
EasyTouch 4 (auxiliary circuits). The EasyTouch control system is factory configured to operate with a
"shared" equipment system or with a "single body" system. For EasyTouch 4 and EasyTouch 8 menu settings,
see page 14.
IntelliChlor
®
Electronic Chlorine Generator
The optional IntelliChlor salt chlorination system allows the EasyTouch control system to automatically control
water sanitization by using a low concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the pool and spa water. The
IntelliChlor is enabled from the "IntelliChlor" Settings menu (see page 37). IntelliChlor automatically converts
the salt into free chlorine which eliminate bacteria and algae in the pool and spa water. The chlorine will then
revert back to sodium chloride after killing the bacteria. The outcome of this continuous cycle, practically
eliminates the need to use sanitizing chemicals in the pool/spa water. When the
pool and spa water is replenished due to backwashing or draining, more salt
may need to be added to the pool/spa water.
IntelliChlor model IC20 (P/N 520554/520556) is designed for swimming pools
up to 20,000 U.S. gallons (75,000 liters). Model IC40 (P/N 520555/520556) is
designed for swimming pools up to 40,000 U.S. gallons (151,000 liters). The
pool chlorination amounts may vary depending on number of pool occupants,
temperature, environment conditions, rainfall and other elements that might
affect the pool water.
