Core Value Proposition
This kit serves as a bridge for homeowners who initially opted for a basic salt system and now want the convenience of mobile app control and equipment automation. It eliminates the need to replace the entire power center or salt cell, providing a cost-effective path to Hayward’s award-winning OmniLogic® ecosystem.

The upgrade unlocks exclusive communication with Hayward ColourLogic® LED lights, allowing users to select specific colours, adjust brightness, and set the speed of light shows directly from the smartphone interface.
