Automate Your Pool: Gadgets That Cut Maintenance Time in Half

Automate Your Pool: Gadgets That Cut Maintenance Time in Half
Hey there, pool enthusiasts! Larry the Pool Guy here from ACHTWOO Pools. I’ve seen the future of pool maintenance, and it’s all about automation. If you’re tired of the daily grind of keeping your pool perfect, you’re in luck. Today, I’m going to dive into some gadgets that can literally cut your maintenance time in half.

Automatic Pool Cleaners
First up, let’s talk about automatic pool cleaners. These are your pool’s best friends. There are three main types:

• Suction-Side Cleaners: These attach to your existing filtration system and work by sucking up debris as they move around the pool. They’re great for small to medium-sized pools and are relatively inexpensive.
• Pressure-Side Cleaners: Using your pool’s pressure line, these cleaners push debris into a separate bag, which means your pool filter doesn’t have to work as hard. Ideal for pools with lots of leaves or bugs.
• Robotic Cleaners: The top dogs in automation. They have their own filtration system and motor, meaning they don’t rely on your pool’s equipment. They’re incredibly efficient, saving you both time and energy costs. They can clean walls, floors, and even some do stairs. While they’re pricier upfront, they’re worth every penny for the time they save you.

Smart Pool Controllers
Next, smart pool controllers can be a game-changer. Imagine controlling your pool from your smartphone, whether you’re lounging in your backyard or halfway across the world.

• Automation Systems: These systems allow you to program your pool’s operations like pump cycles, lighting, and even chemical dosing. Products like those from Pentair, Hayward, and Jandy can integrate with home automation systems, making pool management as simple as setting your home thermostat.
• App Control: With apps, you can monitor water chemistry, adjust temperatures, or turn on the pool lights for your evening swim. This not only saves time but also optimizes energy use, potentially reducing your utility bills.

Chemical Automation
Maintaining the right chemical balance can be tricky, but chemical automation systems take the guesswork out of it:

• Chlorinators and pH Controllers: These devices automatically adjust chlorine levels and pH, ensuring your pool water is always just right. No more weekly testing and adding chemicals manually.

Pool Covers
Automated pool covers are another fantastic time-saver. Here’s why:

• Safety and Efficiency: An automatic cover not only keeps your pool clean by reducing debris but also helps in retaining heat and reducing evaporation. It’s as easy as pressing a button or turning a key.
