Hopefully you all can help me select a new controller. The one I have is old and the spa remote is no longer working correctly.

Right now I have the Pentair Compool LX100 Power Center. It controls the following:

  • Filter (which I am upgrading to a 1.5hp Pentair Superflo VST)
  • Air bubbler for spa
  • Spa Jets
  • Spa valves Jandy
  • Pool falves Jandy
  • Spa light
  • Chlorine generator - Aquarite Goldline Chlorine Generator with a T-Cell-15-SWP turbo cell
We would love to be able to control the heater as well if that is possible. The heater is a Builtrite BR135 S7 Heater.

Having a control panel in the screened in area is a must. Hopefully it could be wireless. I would like to install this myself.

What controllers would you suggest?
Do I need to change the enclosure or can I reuse this one?
How much should I be looking to spend?
Do you think I could do this? I am mechanically inclined and have done lots of wiring before.

Thank you for any and all help or input.

It looks like this would work maybe? Pentair Compool to EasyTouch Upgrade Kit with Transformer | 521247

Below are some photos of my current setup.

Read this thread on the Compool to EasyTouch upgrade. It goes through most of your questions. Then loop back to discuss your situation more.

If the Compool to Easytouch is available, that is the better option as it requires minimal work. I would though, get the Screen Logic so you can use wifi. If not available, look into a Aqualink system. iQ904, with the wifi option.
