What is Pool and Spa Automation?

Pool and spa automation refers to the integration of electronic systems to control various functions of your pool and/or spa automatically or remotely. Instead of manually adjusting valves, turning pumps on and off, or testing and adding chemicals, automation systems handle these tasks based on pre-set schedules, sensor readings, or remote commands. This can include controlling:

Why Upgrade to Pool and Spa Automation?

Increased Convenience: Eliminate the hassle of manual adjustments. Set it and forget it schedules for filtration, heating, and cleaning cycles.

Enhanced Energy Efficiency: Optimize pump run times and heater operation to reduce energy consumption and lower utility bills. Variable-speed pump control, a key feature of many automation systems, can lead to significant savings.

Improved Water Quality: Automated chemical feeders and monitoring systems ensure consistent and balanced water chemistry, leading to a healthier and more enjoyable swimming or soaking experience.

Remote Control and Monitoring: Manage your pool and spa from anywhere using your smartphone or other connected devices. Adjust settings, check water temperature, and monitor chemical levels remotely.

Optimized Equipment Lifespan: Proper automation can help your equipment run more efficiently and prevent unnecessary wear and tear, potentially extending its lifespan.

Precise Control: Achieve more accurate and consistent control over various pool and spa functions compared to manual adjustments.

Time Savings: Reclaim the time you would otherwise spend on manual pool and spa maintenance tasks.

Integration with Other Smart Home Systems: Many pool and spa automation systems can integrate with broader smart home ecosystems for seamless control of your entire property.

Early Problem Detection: Some advanced systems can monitor equipment performance and alert you to potential issues before they become major problems.
