Commercial Pool & Spa Equipment Control

The LX80 provides centralized control of the primary equipment used in a commercial pool and spa combination.

Standard relay assignments support:

• Pool filtration pump
• Spa filtration pump
• Spa jet pump

Additional relay kits can be installed when compatible auxiliary equipment requires control, allowing the LX80 platform to accommodate more complex equipment rooms.

Emergency Shut-Off System

A major advantage of the LX80 commercial platform is its integrated emergency shut-off capability. Activating the emergency switch disables the controlled pumps and provides an audible alarm.

This feature makes the controller particularly useful for commercial spas and aquatic facilities where emergency pump shutoff capability may be required by applicable codes.

Always verify current local health, electrical, and building-code requirements before installation.

Remote Spa Jet Control

The LX80 supports an outdoor-rated remote spa-jets switch with an electronic countdown timer.

Users can activate the spa jet system for either:

• 15 minutes
• 30 minutes

The countdown function automatically limits operating time, helping facilities manage equipment runtime without requiring staff to manually turn the jet pump off after each use.
