Intermatic PS3000 Pool Equipment Surge Protective Device
Dedicated Surge Protection for Pool & Spa Equipment
The Intermatic PS3000 Surge Protective Device is a professional-grade surge suppressor designed to protect sensitive pool and spa equipment electronics from damaging voltage spikes caused by lightning, power surges, and electrical disturbances. Built by Intermatic—an industry leader in pool electrical controls—the PS3000 provides an added layer of defense for modern pool systems that rely heavily on electronic components.
This device is engineered specifically for pool and spa control systems, not general household electronics.
Why Pool Equipment Needs Surge Protection
Modern pool systems rely on advanced electronics that are vulnerable to power fluctuations, including:
-
Variable-speed pool pumps
-
Automation and control systems
-
Salt chlorine generators
-
Heaters with electronic ignition and boards
-
LED pool lighting systems
A single surge can permanently damage these components. The PS3000 is designed to absorb and divert excess voltage before it reaches expensive pool equipment.
Surge protection devices are commonly installed alongside systems found in the Pool Electrical & Automation Collection.
Designed Specifically for Pool & Spa Applications
Unlike generic surge protectors, the Intermatic PS3000 is built for outdoor pool equipment environments.
It is designed to withstand:
-
Outdoor installation conditions
-
Pool equipment pad temperatures
-
Electrical noise from pumps and motors
-
Utility-side power disturbances
This makes it well-suited for installation near automation panels, time clocks, and load centers.
Protects High-Value Pool Electronics
The PS3000 helps safeguard components that are costly to replace, including:
-
Automation control boards
-
Variable-speed pump drives
-
Salt system power centers
-
Heater control modules
-
Pool lighting transformers
Adding surge protection can significantly reduce the risk of unexpected equipment failure caused by electrical events.
Ideal for New Builds & Equipment Upgrades
The Intermatic PS3000 is commonly installed during:
-
New pool construction
-
Equipment pad upgrades
-
Automation system installations
-
Variable-speed pump retrofits
-
Salt system additions
Including surge protection during installation is far more cost-effective than replacing damaged electronics later.
Compact Design for Easy Equipment Pad Integration
The PS3000 features a compact form factor that allows it to be installed within or near existing electrical enclosures.
Benefits include:
-
Minimal space requirements
-
Clean equipment pad layout
-
Easy integration with control panels
-
Simplified wiring for professionals
This makes it an easy add-on when upgrading pool electrical systems.
