The Hayward CAT 6000 is the industry's first water chemistry controller with solid-state sensing and an intuitive touchscreen.

And because CAT 6000 includes customizable control and a variety of standard inputs/outputs (including a pump interlock), both installation and operation are reliably quick and simple.
