How do I set up iAquaLink with eero?

What is iAquaLink?

iAquaLink is a remote pool control system that allows you to control temperature, pumps, filters, lights, and more for your pool and spa systems.

How do I set up iAquaLink?

The original iAquaLink does not support WPA2 or greater, the security protocol used by eero. iAquaLink 2.0 is WPA2 compatible. As a result, the original iAquaLink must use an ethernet connection while the iAquaLink 2.0 can connect wirelessly. iAquaLink 2.0 can be set up wirelessly using their Hotspot Method. 

Wired Setup:

Wired setup is required for early generation iAquaLink systems.

1. Confirm that the internet connection switch on the iAquaLink is set to the wired position
2. Connect the ethernet cable into the ethernet port on the iAquaLink
3. Within 2 minutes, the yellow LED should stop blinking on the iAquaLink. When the green LED illuminates, the iAquaLink is connected

Wifi Setup (iAquaLink 2.0 and greater):

Wifi setup requires connecting via hotspot on your cell phone. When using this method, the iAquaLink device broadcasts a network named “iAquaLink” for your smartphone to connect to. Selecting the network will allow you to choose or enter your wifi network’s name and password. If the iAquaLink LED turns green, it’s successfully connected to the wifi.

1. To begin setup, toggle the WiFi-Wired switch to Wired, then back to WiFi to clear settings
2. On your smartphone, go to wifi settings and connect to the network labeled "iAquaLink"
3. Some devices will automatically redirect you to the login screen. If not, open a browser and go to zodiac.com
4. Select your home network from the list. If prompted, enter your network password (case sensitive)

Note: iAquaLink will disconnect from your smartphone once complete.

What should I do if iAquaLink won't connect?

• Toggle the WiFi-Wired switch to Wired, then back to WiFi to clear memory and restart setup mode
• Temporarily disable the 5 GHz band in the eero App:

1. Go to Settings
2. Tap Troubleshooting
3. Tap My device won't connect
4. Tap My device is 2.4 GHz only
5. Tap the Temporarily pause 5 GHz button

• Remove any special characters from your SSID and password
