About this topic
Pool automation transforms how you manage your pool — instead of manually adjusting valves, timers, and chemical feeders, a single control system handles everything automatically and lets you make changes from your smartphone.
Modern pool automation systems from brands like Pentair IntelliConnect, Hayward OmniLogic, and Jandy iAquaLink can control your pump speed, heater temperature, lighting, water features, and even chemical dosing. For San Diego pool owners, automation is especially valuable for optimizing pump schedules around SDG&E time-of-use rates, potentially saving hundreds per year.
These guides help you understand what automation can do, compare the major systems and their features, learn about installation requirements, and troubleshoot common issues with existing systems. Whether you're upgrading an older pool or building new, automation is one of the best investments you can make in convenience and energy savings.
