Pool Automation

What is Pool Automation?

Pool automation refers to using advanced technology to control and manage various aspects of your swimming pool remotely and efficiently from one location, such as filtration, heating, lighting, cleaning and basic water chemistry.

Contrary to popular belief, automating your pool doesn't require advanced technical know-how. Most pool automation products are designed for user-friendliness, featuring plug-and-play installation and a simple connection process to a network or Bluetooth connectivity. The best part of the latest pool automation lies in its remote controllability, which allows you to control your entire pool from anywhere.
