Automation Parts & Boards

222 products

Boards, actuators, transformers, relays and sensors for pool control systems. Two very different jobs end up here. One is a system that has stopped working and needs a board, a power supply or a sensor. The other is the valve actuator, the small motor that turns a diverter valve for you when the panel says so, which is a part people replace far more often than they replace the panel.

About Automation Parts & Boards

Replacement boards, displays, transformers, relays, temperature sensors and valve actuators for Pentair IntelliTouch and EasyTouch, Hayward OmniLogic and OmniHub, Hayward Goldline ProLogic and AquaPure, Jandy, Zodiac and Intermatic, plus boards for Hayward CAT commercial controllers. Valve actuators from Jandy, Pentair and Hayward at 24V, and enclosures, cords, micro switch kits and surge boards sold on their own.

Complete control systems are in pool automation, mechanical and digital time clocks are in timers and panels, and salt cells are in salt cells.

Questions about Automation Parts & Boards

Which board do I need?

The name on the panel, not the pool. Every one of these systems has a family name printed inside the door or on the front, and a board is specific to that family and often to a revision of it. So the order is: read the family name, find the model or part number on the board you are taking out, then match that. A photograph of the sticker inside the door and of the board itself will answer it faster than anything else. Boards for different systems from the same maker are physically similar and not interchangeable, which is the trap here.

What does a valve actuator do, and can I replace just that?

It is a small motor that bolts to the top of a diverter valve and turns it when the controller tells it to, which is how a system switches between pool and spa, or brings a solar loop in and out, without anybody going outside. Yes, it replaces on its own, and it is usually the thing at fault rather than the valve underneath it or the board telling it to move. They run on 24 volts and are largely a matter of matching the connector and the cable length to your system. The valve body stays where it is.

Is it the board or the transformer?

A system that is completely dark, with no display and no relays clicking, is more often a power supply problem than a board problem. That means the transformer, the incoming breaker or something in between, and a transformer is much cheaper than a board. A system that powers up, lights its display and then behaves wrongly, running the wrong equipment, ignoring a schedule, reading a temperature that cannot be right, is pointing at a board, a relay or a sensor instead. Anything past that is line voltage on a wet equipment pad, and worth handing to somebody licensed for it.

Can I still get parts for an older system?

Often, and more often than people expect. Several of these families have been in the field for well over a decade, and boards, displays and actuators for them are still made because there are too many installed for the makers to walk away from. What tends to disappear first is the display or the front panel rather than the board behind it. Where a part is genuinely gone the options narrow to a used board or a new system, so it is worth finding the number and checking before assuming the whole panel has to come off the wall.
