iAquaLink Pool Automation Guide: App Control, Scheduling & Setup
Already have Jandy AquaLink automation? Start with the iQ30-A web-connect device. Older panels or competing controllers may need a different upgrade or conversion kit—not just an antenna. Compare the actual paths before buying.

iAquaLink is the app and connectivity layer for compatible AquaLink automation—not a universal controller. Check the existing power center, board revision and firmware before ordering.
SHOP BY NEED
Choose the Correct iAquaLink Upgrade Path
These are six distinct hardware purchase paths—not six interchangeable devices. Start by identifying your installed controller; then select a web-connect device, an RS/PDA upgrade, a legacy conversion, or a complete automation system.
iAquaLink 3.0 iQ30-A Web Connect Device
Jandy identifies iQ30-A as the iAquaLink 3.0 web-connect device. It adds internet connectivity to a compatible AquaLink system; it is not a replacement control board or a standalone pool automation system. Confirm the power center and firmware before purchasing.
Confirm the exact model, installation requirements, and seller details before ordering.
AquaLink iQ30-RS Upgrade Kit
Jandy lists iQ30-RS as an upgrade kit for AquaLink RS and PDA. The correct installation depends on the installed system and firmware; a professional should verify whether a board upgrade is necessary rather than assuming an antenna-only purchase will work.
Confirm the exact model, installation requirements, and seller details before ordering.
AquaLink iQ-JNDY-RSPS8 Conversion Kit
Jandy’s conversion guide lists iQ-JNDY-RSPS8 for specified Ji-series and AquaLink 2/4/6/8 controls. This is a control-system conversion, not an iAquaLink Wi-Fi accessory. Check the exact legacy model and enclosure before ordering.
Confirm the exact model, installation requirements, and seller details before ordering.
AquaLink iQ-PENT-RSPS8 Conversion Kit
Jandy lists iQ-PENT-RSPS8 as a conversion path for selected Pentair EasyTouch, IntelliTouch and IntelliCenter systems. This is not direct iAquaLink compatibility with Pentair controls; it replaces the control platform. Confirm configuration and chlorinator changes with a qualified installer.
Confirm the exact model, installation requirements, and seller details before ordering.
AquaLink iQ-COMP-RSPS8 Conversion Kit
The Jandy conversion selection guide names iQ-COMP-RSPS8 for specified Compool controllers. Verify the existing model, wiring and power-center fit before purchasing; it is not a plug-in network adapter.
Confirm the exact model, installation requirements, and seller details before ordering.
Jandy AquaLink RS iQ All-in-One System
Jandy lists iQ all-in-one kits, including iQ904-PS configurations, with iAquaLink connectivity included. A full system is appropriate when the existing control platform is absent or needs replacement; equipment count and pool/spa configuration determine the kit.
Confirm the exact model, installation requirements, and seller details before ordering.
BUYER'S DECISION GUIDE
How to Choose and Set Up iAquaLink
App support does not prove that a particular power center is compatible. These checks separate a straightforward connectivity upgrade from a costly control-system conversion.
Identify the control system
Photograph the power center label and control-board revision. AquaLink RS, PDA, older Ji-series, and third-party systems require different paths.
Confirm firmware and kit
Jandy states iQ30 can be used with RS/PDA systems with updated firmware; RS version R or newer is identified in its support guidance. Ask a professional about earlier revisions.
Plan a 2.4 GHz connection
The iQ30 supports 802.11b/g/n at 2.4 GHz, not 5 GHz-only Wi-Fi. Check router coverage near the equipment pad; wired Ethernet is an option under installation guidance.
Use qualified installation
The web-connect device connects to the AquaLink RS485 communications port, near electrical equipment. Jandy requires a qualified pool professional or licensed electrician for installation.
SAVE BEFORE YOU SHOP
Pre-Purchase iAquaLink Compatibility Checklist
Collect this information before ordering or requesting an installer quote.
- Record the existing controller family, part number and firmware revision.
- Decide whether you need app connectivity only, an RS/PDA upgrade, or full conversion.
- Confirm exact kit contents; iQ30-A is not a complete automation power center.
- Check 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi signal at the pad or plan qualified wired installation.
- List pumps, heaters, lights, valves and spa functions that the replacement must support.
- Have a licensed electrician or qualified pool professional verify wiring and commissioning.
An Amazon search result is not proof of kit compatibility, inclusion or current availability.
BUYER QUESTIONS
iAquaLink Compatibility and Setup FAQs
These are the questions most likely to change which hardware you need.
Does iAquaLink work with Pentair or other brands?
Not as a direct add-on to their native automation. Jandy says iAquaLink is not compatible with other manufacturers’ control systems; specified conversion kits may replace certain existing controls with AquaLink.
Can I use iAquaLink with my older AquaLink RS?
Possibly. Jandy supports RS and PDA installations with appropriate firmware and hardware; its iQ30 guidance identifies RS firmware version R or later. Older systems may need an upgrade kit.
Is iAquaLink a paid subscription?
Jandy states that the iAquaLink account, mobile app and service are free; mobile data and installation or hardware costs are separate.
Does iAquaLink 3.0 require 5 GHz Wi-Fi?
No. Jandy specifies 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g/n support for iQ30, with mesh-router compatibility improvements. It does not support 5 GHz-only 802.11ac/ax connections.
Can I install the iQ30 myself?
Jandy says installation is not a DIY project. The device connects to automation wiring near potentially hazardous electrical equipment; use a qualified pool professional or licensed electrician.

THE BOTTOM LINE
Ready to Shop iAquaLink Automation?
If you already have a compatible AquaLink controller, investigate iQ30-A first. If you have older firmware or a different control platform, confirm the specific upgrade or conversion kit before ordering. Do not treat the free app as a substitute for compatible installed hardware.
