I have an ancient compool cp2000 system, and see that you offer an upgrade kit(pentair 52147). Is this an upgrade that your homeowner customers can install, or is this best left to a professional? I would like to complete this myself, and am quite handy with home repair, plumbing, auto mechanics etc. thanks for the reply!!

If you are mechanically inclined then yes this Compool conversion kit would be a project you should be able to tackle. We can also supply you with the manufacture phone number if you need installation assistance, Pentair the manufacture can be reached at 1-800-831-7133. Thank you and good luck with your conversion!

Thanks

Does the wireless controler use my home wifi? or is it some other wireless connection? The controller will be located far from the house and may not be able to get a wireless signal.

Hi Paul, The wireless controller shown in the photo does not use a wifi connection, but a wireless transmitter. The range is 500-1000 ft unobstructed. If you want to use the Pentair EasyTouch Wireless 8 Fct Controller you would need to purchase it separately and also the IntelliTouch ScreenLogic Wireless Connection Kit. If you want to use wifi to communicate with the this unit then you would need the Intellitouch iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch Interface Kit and use the mobile app.

My unit is a Compool LX-100 - the wiring diagram says LX-100/LX-100EZ. Nowhere does it say LX-100EZT or LX-100EZTL - will this upgrade kit work, and do I need the transformer?
Thanks.

Hi TJ, This upgrade kit can be used with the LX-100 and you will also need the transformers.

I am upgrading a compool 3800. Do I need a transformer? Also, what are the additional components in the upgrade kit vs buying just the circuit board?
Thanks

Hi Doug, You will need to upgrade your system with p/n 521247 in order to use the iS4 Spa Remote. You will also need the Intellitouch iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch Interface Kit - 520500.

I have a cp3000 system that is failing. Which upgrade kit do I need? Do I also need to replace the controls inside the house.

Hi Connie, You will need the Upgrade Kit W/OTransformer - 521107 and yes you will need to replace the controller inside the house.

Is the compool lx3600 the same as the cp3600. I need an upgraded kit for my lx3600 and it is hard to find the lx3600 listed anywhere.

Hi Scott, The p/n LX3600 is the circuit board for the CP3600. You will need the Compool to EasyTouch Upgrade Kit w/o Transformer (521107).

I'm confused...what's the difference between part number 521107 and 521247. I have a LX3400 panel with CP3400 that needs upgrading to work with the RS485 com on vs pump. Thanks in advance
Reply
The 521107 is the upgrade kit without the transformer and the 521247 is with the transformer so if your transformer assembly is getting replaced you would go with the 521247.

hi, i have an old LX-10 (10463e board) with CP2000 system. This upgrade kit will be able to communicate with my existing valve, remote from CP2000 and the LX-10 power center right? Just wanted to confirm.
thanks

Yes, that would be the correct upgrade kit for your system.

I am thinking that the control wire also needs to be replaced (6 conducter phone cable) is that included with the upgrade?

Hi, Robert. The communication cable is not included with this kit.

What do I need to upgrade my lx3830 and two cp3830 controller s one in pool room one in house how are the instructions can I do it myself? Thanks
Reply
Hi, Steve. You will need the Compool to EasyTouch Upgrade Kit without Transformer - 521107 and the EasyTouch Indoor Control Panel - 520549. You can only use one external panel, instructions are available but the manufacturer recommend that it's professionally install or else the warranty is voided.
Reply
You previously answered (to Tony) that the 521247 Compool Upgrade is compatible with an old LX-10 external panel with a CP-2000 internal panel, or at least that is what I understood. Will the internal panel also have to be modified or changed? How about cabling between the external box and the internal panel? Would I be better served to just add n EZ-Touch Remote controller? I plan to have a professional install everything (if I can find one.)

The kit comes with everything to upgrade to the EasyTouch and yes, you can add in the EasyTouch controller.

Overall I want to upgrade to a IC60 SWG. I have a compool lx/cp3400.
First do I need to upgrade or does my 3400 have the power center?
Second, if I had to get a power center can I just upgrade with the trasformer and I could connect the IC60 to the Easy touch.
I'm trying to find the cheapest way but most economical way to install the IC60. An upgrade would make since if I don't need the power center with it, but I would love not have to buy eaither and just install it on the compool 3400

I understand if I have the cp3800 I would use the EasyTouch upgrade kit 521107. But what if I want to use the intellichlor IC40. Do I need to add anything else to be able to add the IC40 to my system? Also if I know my pool is less than 20,000 gallons, can I still get the IC40? Its an old pool and we are thinking about making it bigger at some point.

Hi, The CP3800 will use the 521107 upgrade kit and will not require any other part other than the Intellichlor cell. I would recommend the IC40 cell for a 20,000 gallon pool so that way the cell will operate efficiently and give you room to expand.

I have the Compool CP3400 indoor control system. It works, but for some reason it is not communicating with the main control panel outside. My pool repair guy told me I needed to upgrade to the Easy Touch with PDA or logic/wifi. Is this the component I need to replace the outside control panel? I am not sure the difference between the Easy Touch with PDA or logic/wifii. Also, how do I know if I need to get one with the transformer? Is this replacement something that I can do myself?
Reply
Hi, David. When upgrading your system you will need to replace the outside interface control kit and indoor control panel. The PDA option is a external remote and the logic/wifi uses a smart device as the remote. Your model control does not require new transformer so you will need p/n 521107. The installation will have to be done by a professional.

Hi I have a 16 yr old pool/spa running with a Compool 3400 mode with SAL/SAM lights I am looking at upgrading my filter to a pentair 420 and a 2hp Intelliflow variable speed.

With this upgrade kit made the new equipment run just like it has the past. ie have all the functionality
I do from my keypad. Is a new keypad required.
Thanks

Hi, Gary. The Compool to EasyTouch Upgrade Kit without Transformer - 521107 will be able to operate the Intelliflo pump, along with your booster pump and MiniMax heater. You will need a new keypad, you can use the EasyTouch Indoor Control Panel - 520549 or the EasyTouch Wireless Remote - 520547.

We just recently purchased a home with a 25,000 gallon pool and hot tub with a shared system Compool Lx3800/CP3800. It has a AO Smith Eplus for the hot tub jets, a Penair Intelliflow vs + svrs for the pool/hot tub filtration, and a Raypak gas heater. I would like to add a salt water chlorinator (possibly IC40) and upgrade control panel so I can control via phone/iPad, etc. It looks like the Pentair is pretty old and doesn't integrate with other home automation systems well. Recommendations?

Sir, I am interested in upgrading my old system ( which has a bad board and is no longer available ). I have a Pentair LX-100EZ easytouch pool/spa system. This system has 2 auto valves, 1 single speed pump ,spa / pool light and a pool heater. I would like to know what system and additional parts I would need to upgrade along with a matching wireless remote. Can I use the old housing with the upgrade or do I need another one. Thank you.

I have Compool LX 3600 main control and indoor control Compool 3600 as well as wired spa remote. Do I need to buy new indoor unit as well new spa wired unit after Easytouch upgrade of the main box?
Another question:
Is Easytouch upgrade compatible with Intellichor directly or do I need to buy additional power pack for Intellichlor

Hi, Stan F. You will need to upgrade the indoor controller and spa side remote which are listed on the Pentair Easy Touch Chlorine Generator / Control page. The EasyTouch Upgrade Kit is compatible with the Intellichlor system.

I am preparing to install the Pentair 521247 Compool to EasyTouch conversion (have CP-2000 and LX-10 system) and have a question. I have identified where the intake, return and solar actuators attach via 3-pin connectors. Also, where the temperature sensors and the RS-485 com cable (for my Intelliflo 011018 filter pump) attach. The four existing relays, filter pump, booster pump, and 2 lights, are connected via screw terminals. The new board has 2-pin connectors for the relays. Solution?

2nd part on my recent question. Can I run my system directly from the new Compool to EasyTouch upgrade panel or does it require either the wired or wireless controller? Thank you for reviewing both of my questions.

Hi, Larry. You can control your equipment from the main panel. The wired or wireless interface just provides a more convenient option.

I am upgrading from a Compool CP100. I see that we need to replace the in house and spa side remote panels. Is the wiring between the control panels the same or does new wire need to be pulled?
Reply
Hi, Nelson. You can use the same wire as the CP100 Indoor Panel to wire the EasyTouch Indoor Controller - 8 Function - 520549 to the new motherboard. The Spa remote will include is own cable, so only that will have to be run through the conduit.

I have a Pentair Compool to easy touch model 521247. The mother board got fried. The replacement part number on the back of the mother board states part number is 520615 version 2160. When I do an internet search for this part number nothing comes up. I don’t need the whole kit, ie, transformer, sensors because they still work. Has part number 520615 been replaced? If so by what?
Hey Bill, 521247 would need to be purchased. 520615 is not sold by itself.

I used the compool easy touch upgrade with transformer kit because the timing cycle on my old system would not work. I have the same problem with the schedule for the pool not turning on and off. I would like to add the remote system but do not want to put anything into this if the basic schedule will not work. The upgrade was supposed to fix this problem.
