Automation Connection

Provides a communication connection.

Does NOT add Wi-Fi or Bluetooth
Does NOT power the pump or change pump voltage
Does NOT increase flow or horsepower
Does NOT create schedules on its own
Does NOT act as an automation controller
Does NOT replace the AquaPump control panel

Compatible AquaPump Models

This cable is intended for the AquaPump Variable Speed family. Both models below are confirmed compatible based on the product record.

Automation System Compatibility

The AquaPump manual references RS485 integration with Pentair, Jandy, and Hayward — but the cable requirements differ between systems. This 2-wire cable is confirmed for Pentair. Jandy and Hayward require the separate 3-wire RS485 cable.

Pentair Automation

Verified 2-Wire Connection

This LU-RS485VS2 2-wire cable is the confirmed Pentair RS485 connection cable for compatible AquaPump Variable Speed pumps.

Jandy Automation

Requires 3-Wire Cable

Jandy automation uses a separate 3-wire RS485 signal cable (LU-RS485VS3), sold separately. This 2-wire cable is not the Jandy cable.

Hayward Automation

Requires 3-Wire Cable

Hayward automation requires a separate 3-wire RS485 cable and configuration as specified in the AquaPump manual. Do not use this 2-wire cable for Hayward.

Refer to the AquaPump automation wiring guide for supported RS485 configurations. Confirm the exact cable required for your automation system before ordering.
