Product Overview

The Pentair EasyTouch 8 Automation System (Model 520540) is a professional-grade control panel built to manage all aspects of a pool–spa system seamlessly. As a base system (“no ICP”), it does not include an indoor control panel, making it a flexible core suited for both new installations and retrofits.

Featuring eight programmable relay circuits, this load center delivers full visibility and control over pumps, lighting, heating, and water features. It’s designed for shared equipment setups—dual valve actuators automate water routing between the pool and spa zones, offering unmatched convenience and automation.

With built-in diagnostics and display functions, service professionals can pinpoint issues fast, minimizing downtime. Its expandable breaker layout supports future enhancements such as additional lighting or ancillary equipment.

Paired with optional ScreenLogic2, the system can be controlled remotely from smartphones or smart home platforms, adding another layer of convenience and modern functionality. It’s also designed to integrate smoothly with Pentair’s ecosystem, supporting smart pumps, lighting, heaters, and more for a unified and intelligent pool system.

Fully certified, rugged, and installer-friendly, the EasyTouch 8 (520540) delivers powerful control and system flexibility for pro-grade automation setups.
