Technology has come a long way since the beginning of swimming pools. Swimming pool automation allows a pool owner to control almost all aspects of their pool from a remote device such as a smartphone. There are different levels of automation depending on what you prefer and what your budget allows.
What can you control with automation? Here are some highlights:
- Pumps
- Filters
- Cleaners
- Automatic pool cleaners
- Water chemistry automation
- UV systems
- Solar heating
- Pool and spa lights
- Fountains
- And so much more!
Sounds attractive, right? Ask the Pool guy recommends the EasyTouch system that works with the Pentair equipment. You can find this system on all our latest pool projects. If you’re not sure and want to learn more about an automations system we suggest getting into the programming menu and wee what happens when you start to schedule and push buttons.
How do you put a remote on your pool?
The best way to do this is by adding the ScreenLogic system which works with your Pentair panel. You can download the app and control it from your phone or home computer. A box would need to be installed at your home computer or router and a cable would then be ran out to the pool control panel where the ScreenLogic system is installed.
