Pool systems built on Intermatic's MultiWave platform can outgrow their base controller once a spa, water feature or solar loop is added. The Intermatic P5043ME is the MultiWave Expansion Module mechanism, which adds four valve actuator ports, two heater circuits and variable speed pump control to a MultiWave Basic system. Pool electricians and service companies use it to expand an existing install instead of replacing the controller.
Why pool contractors pick it
- Adds 4 actuator ports: 2 for pool-to-spa valve rotation, 1 for a water feature and 1 for solar.
- Controls 2 heater circuits.
- Controls most name-brand variable speed pumps.
- Remote switch output turns several components on or off together.
- USB port for firmware upgrades.

Pro tip from the counter
Actuators are not in the box, so count the valves on the pad (pool/spa pair, water feature, solar) and order them with the module. Also confirm the customer's controller is a MultiWave Basic system before selling this; Intermatic says it will not work with other controllers.
Best for: expanding MultiWave Basic pool systems, adding spa or water feature valves, solar pool heating loops, pool service contractors
