Product Overview

The Hayward OmniPL Retrofit Kit HLXPROUPG upgrades compatible older Hayward automation systems to the modern OmniPL smart-control platform without requiring replacement of the complete electrical enclosure, relays, transformer, or existing equipment wiring.

Designed for compatible ProLogic®, AquaPlus®, AquaLogic®, and E-Command® systems, this retrofit kit replaces the original main control board and user interface with updated OmniPL components. Once installed and connected to the property’s network, pool owners can control compatible pumps, heaters, lights, valves, water features, schedules, and salt chlorination equipment from the local touchscreen or supported mobile devices.

Hayward states that many compatible systems can be converted in approximately one hour, depending on the existing panel, wiring condition, accessories, and equipment configuration. This makes the retrofit kit a practical way to add modern automation features while preserving much of the existing equipment-pad infrastructure.

Benefits

The HLXPROUPG modernizes an older Hayward control system without requiring a complete automation-panel replacement. Reusing the existing enclosure, high-voltage relays, transformer, and field wiring can reduce installation time, equipment cost, and disruption at the pool equipment pad.

The OmniPL touchscreen provides a more intuitive interface for managing daily pool operation. Once network connectivity is established, compatible smartphones, tablets, and computers can also be used for remote access.

OmniDirect Mode provides additional lighting capabilities with supported Hayward ColorLogic LED lights, including access to expanded colors, dimming, and adjustable light-show speed. The system can also coordinate compatible variable-speed pumps, helping equipment operate at the appropriate programmed speed for filtration, heating, cleaning, or water-feature operation.

Specifications

Compatibility Information

Compatibility depends on the existing control-panel model, relay configuration, connected accessories, chlorination equipment, and wiring condition. Older ProLogic or AquaLogic wireless, desktop, wall-mount, and spa-side remotes may not operate with the upgraded OmniPL system.

Current OmniLogic-compatible remotes may be available separately when additional control locations are required. Always verify the exact model number inside the existing Hayward panel before ordering.

Installation Information

Disconnect all electrical power before opening the automation enclosure. Installation generally requires removing the original control board, installing the OmniPL board and wiring harnesses, mounting the external touchscreen, reconnecting existing equipment, and completing the OmniPL configuration wizard.

Network setup is required for mobile and web-enabled control. Installation should be completed by a qualified pool professional or licensed electrician familiar with high-voltage pool automation systems.

Confirm Before Ordering

Verify that:

• Your existing system is a compatible Hayward automation panel.
• The required retrofit part is HLXPROUPG or HLPROUPG.
• Your existing transformer, enclosure, and relays are serviceable.
• Legacy remote controls are not required after conversion.
• Your equipment and accessories are supported by OmniPL.
• A suitable network connection is available.
• You are purchasing an upgrade kit, not a complete standalone panel.

Customer Q&A

Is this a complete new automation system?
No. It is a retrofit kit that upgrades a compatible existing Hayward control panel.

Can it be controlled from a phone?
Yes. Remote app and web control are available after the OmniPL is properly connected to the property’s network.

Will my old ProLogic remotes still work?
Many legacy ProLogic and AquaLogic remotes are not compatible after the conversion. Compatible Omni remotes are available separately.

Does this include salt chlorination equipment?
The system can control compatible Hayward salt equipment, but a TurboCell and any other required chlorination components are not included unless specifically stated.
