First time iAqualink set up

 If I just installed an iAqualink wifi antenna for you, this is what you need to do to start using your phone to control your pool.

  1. Make sure your phone is connected to the same wifi network that the iAqualink antenna is. 
    • (This is for security purposes for the initial setup. Once you have added your system, you can control it from anywhere you have internet access.)
  2. Install the iAqualink app by Zodiac Pool Systems. 
    • (Found on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.)
  3. Sign up for a new account. 
    • Make sure your password meets the listed criteria.
  4. Add your system. 
    • Hit the plus sign in the top right corner. 
    • Select the first line "AquaLink RS, PDA, Z4/TRi).
  5. Enter your device number. 
    • It is the 12 digit code printed on the back of the door hanger. It is also on a sticker on the bottom side of the iAqualink antenna. 
  6. Give your system a name. 
    • If you have only one system the name doesn't matter. It can be your last name, My Backyard Paradise, or anything you want. You will select this every time you log in. If you have two or more systems like for rental properties or vacation homes, then naming them becomes important. 
  7. Wait for it to connect.
  8. Using your system:
    • Each time after logging in, select your system. This will take you to the home screen.
    • The Home Screen lets you turn on the pool, the spa, the heater, and set the temperatures. It also displays the current temperature of whatever is on. 
    • The Equipment Screen is where you turn on features like lights, waterfalls, etc.
    • You can set up one-touch scenes if you like. These are macros so that one touch does several things at once. 
    • The Web button allows access to a more complete, but slower, version of the control system. This is where you edit schedules and set up the system. 
  9. Other people in  your household can also have their own account. Simply have them repeat all of the above steps. Alternatively, they can install the app and sign on with your user name and password.
