Pool Care & Automation
Control the experience, not the equipment pad. One button instead of a trip outside to turn valves and change pump settings.
Pool and spa automation uses motorized valve actuators and a controller to reposition water flow between the pool and spa, plus coordinated control of the pump, heater, lights and water features. Instead of walking to the pad, turning two valves by hand, changing the pump speed and switching on the heater, you trigger a scene and the equipment sequences itself.
A scene is a saved sequence of equipment states. Triggering one from an app or a wall control does all of this in the right order:
Both Jandy AquaLink and Pentair IntelliCenter support this style of one-touch macro across filtration, sanitation, cleaning, lighting and water features, and open platforms do the same across mixed-brand equipment.
A motorized head fitted onto an existing valve so a controller can turn it. It converts a valve you currently rotate by hand into one the automation system positions on command — the foundation of pool/spa switching and water-feature control.
Yes, with valve actuators and a controller. The scene handles valve position, pump flow, heating and lighting in sequence. Heat-up time still depends on your heater and spa volume — the automation removes the steps, not the physics.
Yes. Depending on plumbing, features are controlled either by dedicated valves or by pump speed, and often both. Getting features to look right usually means coordinating flow rather than simply switching something on.
A saved combination of equipment states you can trigger with one action — Spa Night, Party Mode, Quiet Evening. Scenes are the point at which automation stops feeling like a control panel and starts feeling like a backyard that responds to you.
Automate the valves before you automate anything decorative. Pool-and-spa switching is the change owners use every single week; a lighting scene is the one they show visitors.
Scenes are worth building properly and worth labelling in plain language. The most common failure we find is a capable system where every circuit is named by number, so nobody in the household will touch 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.
