iAquaLink

Pool controls from your phone

iAquaLink lets owners of compatible Zodiac pool equipment monitor and manage parts of their pool or spa setup through an Android app. It suits people who regularly adjust heating, filtration, lighting or cleaning and would rather check those controls on a phone than go to the equipment panel.

What you can manage

The available controls depend on the equipment connected. With supported AquaLink automation systems, the app can operate pool and spa features such as lights, jets and waterfalls, as well as heating and sanitizer generation. Some setups can manage multiple pools and save combinations of settings as scenes.

Other compatible products add more specific tasks: iQPUMP01 supports pump speeds, schedules and power-use monitoring; connected heat pumps provide temperature monitoring and adjustment; and compatible robotic cleaners offer cleaning-mode selection. Salt-water chlorinators can bring water-treatment and other pool controls together, depending on the system and optional modules.

Useful when the setup fits

This is not a general-purpose pool app: its value depends on owning supported Zodiac equipment and having it connected for app control. Before relying on a particular function, check that your model supports it; features vary across product lines. The app is most likely to earn a regular place on a phone for households that make frequent adjustments or want to check pool equipment without visiting it.

A substantial user base

iAquaLink is published by Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc. It has a 4.25 rating from 22,619 reviews and more than 500,000 installs. Those figures suggest many pool owners have tried it, though they do not guarantee that every equipment combination or control will suit your needs.
