Product Overview
The Pentair IntelliCenter Lite 523911 delivers advanced pool automation in a compact, streamlined package designed specifically for pool-only applications. It combines an IntelliCenter Lite Power Center with an i5P Personality Kit, five relays, color touchscreen interface, and Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing homeowners to manage essential pool equipment from the equipment pad or remotely through Pentair's compatible mobile app.
Unlike a full-size IntelliCenter Load Center, the IntelliCenter Lite uses a compact breakerless Power Center, making it an excellent option for installations where the electrical breaker panel is already located separately. Pentair also positions IntelliCenter Lite as a modern upgrade path for older EasyTouch Lite automation installations.

Smart Pool Control
The IntelliCenter Lite system gives pool owners centralized control of compatible equipment while providing remote access through Pentair's connected automation platform.
Depending on the equipment configuration, the automation system can be used to manage functions such as:
- Variable-speed pool pumps
- Pool heating
- Pool lights
- Water features
- Sanitizing equipment
- Equipment schedules
- Temperature settings
- Additional relay-controlled pool equipment
The system can also provide remote monitoring, making it easier to check or adjust pool operation without being physically at the equipment pad.
Ideal for Retrofit Installations
One of the biggest advantages of 523911 is its compact, breakerless design.
The Power Center does not incorporate a circuit-breaker panel. This makes it particularly useful when:
- A separate electrical subpanel already exists
- Replacing an older automation system
- Upgrading from an EasyTouch Lite system
- Equipment-pad space is limited
- A full IntelliCenter Load Center is unnecessary
Pentair specifically identifies IntelliCenter Lite as a replacement path for its legacy EasyTouch Lite systems.
Optional High-Power Wireless
Standard Wi-Fi connectivity is included with 523911.
For installations where the equipment pad is far from the home's router or Wi-Fi signal is unreliable, Pentair offers:
523557 – 900 MHz High-Powered Wireless Ethernet Link Kit
This optional kit is sold separately and can provide a more reliable connection in difficult wireless environments.
