Mixing of Brands

Good Morning. I am having a pool installed, but i have to provide my own equipment. The pool installer is proving a Hayward vs 950 pump and corresponding filter.

We were looking at adding the Hayward control panel PS-8, a salt system and heat/cool heat pump. Should i stick to all hayward equipment? I really liked what i saw fromt he Pentair heat/chill heat pump, and would prefer to use that instead. Is this something that can be done?

Yes, you can control a Pentair heat pump from the Hayward PS-8 control system.
