Currently I have a 30amp 220 circuit and a 20amp 110 circuit feeding the pad.

Please help me understand the electrical needs for the following:

1 - 208-230v/12.4-11.2amps 3hp Pentair Intelliflo3 ~ filtration pump (NEW - replacing a 2hp Jandy single speed)_​
2 - 208-230v/7.8-8amps 1.5hp Pentair Whisperflow WF-26 ~ sheers pump​
3 - 120V/1.7amps Stenner​
4 - 240v/5.6amps 2hp Polaris blower​
5 - 220-240v/1amp Pentair IntelliChlor iC60 (NEW)​
6 - Pentair LED Intellibrite pool, Pentair LED Intellibrite spa switched together​
7 - Rheem 336A Natural Gas heater​
8 - 110v convience outlet​
9 - IntelliCenter i10ps (NEW)​

I have an unused 50amp breaker in the main panel that can be repurposed to supply the above. Will that be enough?

I'm acquiring the new stuff a-al-carte and I haven't got the breakers yet. 2 x 20amp GFCI for the pumps and what else?

Finally, if the 50amp circuit is enough, will I be able to add the below given all the above?
1 - LED Pad light
1 - 12v LED Landscape lighting transformer

TIA

The 50 amp breaker can feed the IntelliCenter Load Center and handle all your equipment. The 30 amp breaker would be marginal.

15 AMP 240V CB - 240v/5.6amps 2hp Polaris blower
15 Amp 120V GFCI CB - Pentair LED Intellibrite pool, Pentair LED Intellibrite spa switched together & Rheem 336A Natural Gas heater
15 Amp 120V CB - 120V/1.7amps Stenner & 110v convience outlet
15 Amp 120V CB - IntelliCenter i10ps (NEW) & 120v/2 amp Pentair IntelliChlor iC60 (NEW)
 
You would also need the correct wire gauge for a 50amp breaker running from the main panel to the Intellicenter.
A 50amp breaker requires 6AWG wiring in most cases.

Thanks ajw. I also have an open 40amp breaker in the main. Will that also work?

Not sure what wire gauge is currently being used. But I suspect there is better shot at the currently used wire gauge being OK for 40 vs 50amp breaker. I should also say I am not doing this myself. Just want to be able to communicate with the installer with some level of understanding. Thanks again!
 
I would use the 50 amp breaker as the feed to the Load Center.
