AquaLit
Pool Care & Automation
Richmond has two generations of pools: the 1990s and 2000s pads in Pecan Grove and along the Brazos, and the new builds in Aliana, Harvest Green and Veranda. They need two different conversations.
AquaLit provides pool automation, equipment repairs and replacement, smart pump installation, chemistry automation and central control throughout Richmond, TX — Pecan Grove, Long Meadow Farms, Aliana, Harvest Green, Veranda, Lakes of Williams Ranch and the historic centre. Most existing Richmond pools can be automated without rebuilding.
On an older pad we look at the plumbing and electrical before recommending anything. On a new one, the Moov AI 2.0 HP inverter pump installed under standard conditions is the usual first step.
A large share of Richmond's pools were built in the 1990s and 2000s. Twenty-plus years on, the pattern at the pad is familiar: a single-speed pump on a mechanical time clock, a filter that has been re-plumbed at least once, a heater that may or may not still fire, and PVC that has spent two decades in the sun. Automation on top of a failing pad is money wasted. The first job is an honest repair-or-replace assessment.
Richmond's master-planned communities are adding pools quickly, most of them with builder-specified equipment. These pads are clean and have room. The question there is not repair — it is whether to plan for central control before the pad fills up.
Pecan Grove is named honestly. Established Richmond neighbourhoods carry pecans, live oaks and the debris that goes with them: nuts and leaf drop in autumn, live-oak leaf and pollen through late winter and spring. Robotic cleaning and a well-set filter schedule earn their place here in a way they do not yet in the new communities.
Parts of Richmond sit close to the river. Equipment pads on low ground deserve attention to drainage, elevation of electrical components and what happens to a controller in a flood. We look at that during the assessment; it is not a reason to avoid automation, but it changes how the pad is laid out.
Richmond is served by the city and by several utility districts, some on groundwater and some transitioning to surface water. Fill-water hardness affects salt cell life and scaling, so we test rather than assume.
Repairs and renovations sit alongside automation here, because on many Richmond pads they come first.
Scheduled service, water chemistry, cleaning and equipment inspection — with a worklog you can actually read after every visit.
Explore Pool Care & MaintenancePumps, heaters, filters, salt systems, valves, leaks and controllers. We diagnose the cause before quoting the fix.
Explore Pool RepairsSurface, tile, coping, lighting and equipment-pad rebuilds — pools brought back to better than they started.
Explore Renovations & RemodelingAn inverter pump that adjusts itself to hold the flow your pool actually needs — not one fixed speed you guessed at.
Explore Smart CirculationSensors and dosing equipment that handle more of the routine sanitizer and pH work between service visits.
Explore Automated Water CareHeat when a Texas cold front lands, cool when August overheats the water. Set a temperature, not an equipment schedule.
Explore Smart ClimateA scheduled robotic cleaner takes the most repetitive job off the list — floors, walls and waterline depending on model.
Explore Automated CleaningColour, scenes and schedules you control from your phone — including specialty lighting work on existing fixtures.
Explore Smart Pool LightingValves, spa mode, waterfalls, bubblers and deck jets responding to one button instead of a trip to the equipment pad.
Explore Smart BackyardOne brain for the pool. Poolside Tech Attendant, Pentair IntelliCenter or Jandy AquaLink — chosen around your equipment.
Explore Central AutomationA salt cell that generates chlorine so you stop handling tablets. We will also tell you when salt is not the better call.
Explore Saltwater ConversionAlmost always, yes — but the order matters. We check the pump, filter, heater, plumbing and electrical first. If the pad is sound, we automate it. If it is not, we tell you what to repair or replace and what that changes about the automation plan, so you are not paying twice.
Plan it before and install it around the resurfacing. A renovation is the cheapest moment to re-plumb the pad, add valve actuators and run conduit for lights and a controller, because everything is already open.
Yes, along with Pecan Grove, Lakes of Williams Ranch, Riverpark West, the historic centre and the streets in between. Rosenberg next door is on the list too.
Groundwater in this part of Fort Bend County tends to be hard, which shortens salt cell life and encourages scaling. Some districts have moved to surface water, which changes the picture. We test your fill water before recommending salt or dosing.
Richmond is a short drive from Weston Lakes. Assessments are free and we usually confirm a window within one business day. Call or text 832-299-5570.
For an established Richmond pool, get the pad assessed before you buy anything: repair what is failing, then upgrade circulation, then add cleaning if you are under trees. For a new pool in Aliana, Harvest Green or Veranda, replace the builder's pump and decide on central control while there is still room to plan.
Call or text 832-299-5570 and you reach the people who will be standing at your equipment pad.
The same local team keeps Richmond pools clean, balanced and working — automation is one branch of the work, not the whole of it.
Call or text for a free pool assessment. We look at the pool, the equipment already on your pad and how you actually use the backyard — then tell you what is worth doing and what is not.
Tell us what you have and how you use the pool. We'll walk the equipment pad, ask what you ultimately want controlled, and give you an honest recommendation — including the upgrades we'd skip.
