How To Use Pool System Interface In Control4

The pool system interface can be used as a quick and simple means of controlling pool functions like lights, water features, and temperature on the fly. It cannot be used to schedule pool events as that is handled by the pool system itself. And if you use the Control4 interface to turn on or off a feature, that will not negatively impact normally scheduled pool processes.

1. Accessing the pool system controls

a. Select Comfort from the Favorites menu
b. Select the pool icon from the Comfort menu
c. Once into the pool system, you will see a display of your pool’s current state.

2. Pool Functions

a. The air temperature is displayed above the pool thermostat so you can make informed decisions when setting the pool temperature.
b. The temperature wheel will show the current set point of the pool heater, and if your system supports it, the temperature of your pool in the middle of the wheel; otherwise, it will just be two dashes.

i. The temperature can be changed by pressing the up and down arrows at the bottom of the wheel or by sliding the set point indicator.

ii. In order to set the temperature of the pool, the pump must be on.

c. The pump icon at the bottom left of the screen can be used to turn on and off the pool pump.
d. The method of heating (solar, gas, etc.) can be selected by pressing the heater icon in the bottom right corner of the screen.

3. Spa functions

a. The spa controls can be accessed by selecting the “Spa” tab in the toolbar in the upper portion of the screen.
b. The spa controls mirror those of the pool controls.
c. Again, it is important to remember the temperature can only be set when the pump is on.

4. Pool and spa extra features

a. For pools and spas equipped with water features and lighting systems, these functions can be accessed in the “Extras” tab in the toolbar in the upper portion of the screen.

i. For multicolor pool/spa lights, selecting the lighting function from the “Extras” menu will open a lighting submenu that will allow you to choose the color or color sequence you want.
