I'm thinking of using an aqualogic ps-8 this time and have a couple of questions:
Does this unit serve as the main breaker box for all of the pool equipment?

I have a separate main breaker near the meter to shut off the power going to the unit. I thing this is required by code as the PS-8 is considered a subpanel not a main panel.

Can I pull 100-125 amp service to this box and have all the breakers and disconnects inside?

Yes, all the breakers and wiring are in the main unit.

From all I can understand on the Hayward site, It seems that the unit will also serve as timers for cleaners, pumps and heat, with remote service for inside the house. Am I getting this right?

Yes, it has four valve controls and eight breaker/AC controls all of which can be controlled manually or timer. Also has a solar control.

Finally, will the ps-8 do SWG with just the addition of a cell and probe? ( no seperate aqua-rite unit needed?)

SWG is one unit. Not sure what you mean by probe but the cell contains a temperature probe as well.

Thanks for the continued help,
Cal
