Product Overview

The Hayward OmniHub Spa Kit | HL485SPAKIT is an open-line spa automation expansion kit designed for compatible Hayward OmniHub control systems. This kit includes a relay, 2 valve actuators, J-box, and 6 ft whip, making it a useful add-on for pool professionals adding or upgrading spa-side control functions on compatible automation installations.

The included actuators help automate valve movement for pool/spa operation, while the relay supports control of compatible connected equipment. The included J-box and whip help simplify the electrical/control installation when used in the correct system configuration.

Benefits

The Hayward OmniHub Spa Kit HL485SPAKIT helps pool professionals expand compatible OmniHub automation systems for pool/spa operation. The included actuators allow compatible valves to move automatically between pool and spa positions, helping simplify daily operation and improve convenience.

The included relay provides additional equipment control capability, while the J-box and 6 ft whip help support a cleaner, more complete installation package when used in the correct setup.

For compatible installations, this kit can reduce the need to source multiple separate parts and helps ensure the core spa automation components are available together.

Recommended Use

Use the Hayward HL485SPAKIT when a compatible Hayward OmniHub system requires a spa kit with relay, 2 actuators, J-box, and 6 ft whip.

This kit is best suited for pool/spa systems where a pool professional has verified the plumbing layout, valve locations, automation requirements, relay needs, and wiring path.

For systems that need a full automation controller, additional relays, additional actuators, or different control accessories, other Hayward OmniHub components may be required.

Installation Notes

This kit should be installed by a qualified pool professional or licensed electrician. Automation installation may involve high-voltage wiring, low-voltage control wiring, relay wiring, actuator mounting, valve calibration, J-box installation, equipment setup, and system programming.

Professional installation is recommended to ensure:

Correct OmniHub compatibility
Proper relay wiring
Correct actuator installation
Proper valve alignment and calibration
Safe electrical connections
Correct J-box and whip installation
Proper pool/spa mode configuration
Correct equipment programming
Safe startup and system testing

Improper installation may cause automation failure, valve misalignment, equipment damage, electrical hazards, poor spa operation, or voided warranty coverage.

Important Automation Note

This is a spa kit accessory, not a complete OmniHub automation system. It should be used only with compatible Hayward OmniHub installations.

If you are building a new automation system, confirm whether you need the OmniHub base system, additional relays, valve actuators, sensors, remotes, or other accessories before ordering.
