The AquaConnect Web mobile application allows you to manage your ProLogic Pool Controllers that are configured with AquaConnect Home Network hardware from anywhere. The AquaConnect Home Network communicates with your iPhone or iPad to allow you to control all pool and spa functions. At home or on the road, you can monitor pool and spa settings, adjust parameters and receive alerts if a problem is detected. You can turn up the spa heater before you head home from work, turn lights on and off, activate water features, manage pH and sanitization to achieve the perfect water chemistry and more, all while conserving energy. Anything you can do from your pool controller, you can now do anywhere, This level of control also enables you to reduce operating costs by keeping chemical use to a minimum, avoiding potential problems before they become major and keeping heat low until you need it.
