Pentair EasyTouch 8 - Pool/Spa (Base System – No ICP, 2 Actuators) | 520540
The Pentair EasyTouch 8 Pool & Spa Base Automation System (520540) is a foundational control panel designed to automate essential pool and spa equipment functions. This base EasyTouch system includes room for two actuator outputs (for controlling valves) and covers both pool and spa equipment without an ICP (IntelliConnect Panel) or built-in salt chlorination control — delivering flexible, dependable automation for a wide range of backyard systems.
What This Product Is For
This EasyTouch 8 automation panel is made for residential pool and spa systems that need scheduled and sequenced control of major components — such as pumps, lights, and heater circuits — along with the ability to drive up to two valve actuators for flow routing (example: pool/spa, spa bypass). Because it does **not** include an ICP or salt chlorination control, it’s ideal when you don’t require advanced saline systems or additional automated chlorinator control.
