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.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhat This Product Is For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    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.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eEasyTouch 8 base automation panel for pool and spa operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eIncludes control outputs for up to two actuators (e.g., flow\/valve control)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNo built-in ICP module or salt system — keeps the system focused and cost-effective\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eProgrammable scheduling and sequencing for lights, pumps, and heaters\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eExpandable with add-ons like mobile\/network interfaces and user displays\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRugged design suited for outdoor equipment-pad environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eInstall in a weather-protected, ventilated equipment area per Pentair guidelines\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eConnect pool and spa equipment circuits to appropriate breakers and control outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eWire valve actuators to the two actuator outputs provided\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSet up load sequencing, schedules, and logic using the EasyTouch interface or connected display\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eEnsure proper grounding and bonding per local electrical and pool codes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eMaintenance Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCheck and tighten electrical connections periodically to avoid corrosion or loosening\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eReview equipment run schedules seasonally for efficiency and usage needs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eInspect actuator wiring and valve operation periodically for smooth performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eKeep the equipment area clean and dry for reliability and longevity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eRelated Products\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n      \u003ca href=\"\/products\/pentair-easytouch-psl4-control-system-with-screenlogic-522355\"\u003e\n        Pentair EasyTouch PSL4 Control System with ScreenLogic (522355)\n      \u003c\/a\u003e\n      – Full EasyTouch panel with enhanced connectivity and display compatibility.\n    \u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n      \u003ca href=\"\/products\/pentair-screenlogic2-for-intellitouch-easytouch-automation-systems-ec-522104\"\u003e\n        Pentair ScreenLogic2 Wireless Interface Bundle (522104)\n      \u003c\/a\u003e\n      – Wireless\/network interface for expanded remote control.\n    \u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n      \u003ca href=\"\/products\/pentair-automation-touchscreen\"\u003e\n        Pentair Automation Touchscreen Display\n      \u003c\/a\u003e\n      – Local user interface for manual control and schedule viewing.\n    \u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n      \u003ca href=\"\/products\/intermatic-pool-spa-timer\"\u003e\n        Intermatic Pool \u0026amp; Spa Timer\n      \u003c\/a\u003e\n      – Timing accessory compatible with automation panels and pumps.\n    \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52589969277244,"sku":"PEN520540","price":1680.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/aquapoolsupply.com\/products\/pentaireasytouch8functionpoolspavariablespeedlandscapelight120v150ampnoicp2actuators520540pen520540","provider":"Aqua Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
