Featured Upgrade Kits: Transform Your Pool Automation and Enable Control from a Mobile App
If you have an older pool automation panel (e.g. Pentair EasyTouch, Pentair Intellitouch, Hayward Ecommand, Hayward ProLogic, Hayward AquaLogic, Jandy Aqualink), you may be missing on the ease of use of the latest mobile applications to control all your pool equipment: Pentair Home, Jandy Iaqualink and Hayward Omnilogic.
With these apps, you can control all your pool equipment (e.g. pool pump schedule, lights, blower, heater, feature pumps, actuators) remotely from your cell phone. You can start heating the pool on your way back home for instance.
The good news is that you do not have to replace the entire panel to enable those apps, each manufacturer has an upgrade kit:
Let’s review those options:
Pentair IntelliCenter – Next Generation Smart Control
The Pentair IntelliCenter is the next generation of Pentair automation. It’s designed for pool owners looking for the cutting edge of control while still being easy to operate. IntelliCenter works through the Pentair Pool app, and its easy interface takes you step-by-step through all of your pool devices, from anywhere.
Key Features:
- Simple-to-use touchscreen with step-by-step setup screens
- Remote monitoring allows pool professionals to monitor your equipment proactively
- Control all of your devices seamlessly (smartphone, tablet, computer)
- Easy to upgrade from older Pentair Systems – If you already have EasyTouch or IntelliTouch, IntelliCenter upgrade kits make it affordable to get the latest technology without having to replace your entire system
Best For: Pool owners who have older Pentair systems looking for a modern upgrade, larger pools that want the full-featured system, and anyone that wants the latest and greatest technology available.
Hayward OmniLogic – Premium Customization Power
The Hayward OmniLogic is a feature-packed system that stands out for its deep customization options and user-friendliness. For pool owners who want ultimate control over their backyard environment, OmniLogic is the perfect choice.
Key Features:
- Create up to 25 backyard themes that coordinate your lighting, water features, heating, etc., with the touch of one button
- Unlimited software upgrades to keep your system up to date
- Simple and intuitive panel setup for an easy interface despite the advanced functionality
- Complete control of every aspect of your pool environment
Best For: Pool owners that love to entertain guests, anyone with multiple water features and lighting zones, and anyone that wants to easily create a “party mode” or “relaxation mode” with one touch.
Jandy iAquaLink – Control From Anywhere
The Jandy iAquaLink system offers pool owners the best of both worlds when it comes to poolside control. The iAquaLink comes with a water-resistant wireless remote control for poolside access, and you can also use the companion smartphone app to manage everything from your phone or tablet. For those who want to be able to use either option, iAquaLink is a great fit.
Key Features:
- Control everything 24/7 from any smartphone, anywhere – Check on your pool from work or on vacation, or adjust settings from inside your house
- Water-resistant wireless poolside remote takes the place of your phone when you’re by the pool
- Versatile controller that can manage your lights, water features, pumps, and more
- Compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant for voice commands
Best For: Pool owners who want peace of mind with remote access, families who prefer both app and physical remote options, and anyone looking for a no-nonsense, reliable automation system.
WHY UPGRADE? Real Results You Can Measure
Dramatic Time Savings
Automation can cut your weekly pool maintenance from 4.7 hours to around 30 minutes, saving you over 200 hours a year so you can spend more time enjoying your pool and less time cleaning it.
Significant Energy Savings
Variable-speed pumps controlled by smart technology use up to 90% less energy than single-speed pumps, and the cost typically pays for itself in 1-2 years.
Chemical Cost Reduction
Precise automated chemical dosing based on real-time water testing can cut chemical costs by 30-40% per year by reducing waste from over-treatment while keeping your water in perfect balance.
Extended Equipment Life
Automated monitoring can detect harmful chemical imbalances before they reach levels that damage your pump, heater, and filter, extending the life of your equipment by 2-3 years on average.
Smart Features That Make Life Easier
In addition to the core benefits of automation, all three of the upgrade systems offer modern smart pool features like:
Smartphone App Connectivity – Control everything from the Pentair Pool app, Hayward OmniLogic app, or Jandy iAquaLink app
Voice Assistant Support – “Alexa, set the pool temperature to 82 degrees” or “Hey Google, turn on the pool lights”
Real Time Monitoring & Alerts – Get instant notifications when your equipment needs attention, or when there’s an issue with water chemistry or maintenance
Customizable Schedules – Schedule your pumps, heaters, and cleaners to operate during off-peak electricity rate hours for additional savings
Remote Access – Control your pool while you’re at work, on vacation, or while relaxing inside your home
The Upgrade Process Made Simple
You Don’t Need to Replace Everything
One of the biggest misconceptions about automation upgrades is that you need all new equipment. In reality, modern pool controllers are designed to work with most existing pool equipment, regardless of brand. During our assessment, we take a look at your current setup and see how we can integrate smart controls with what you already have.
Professional Installation Ensures Success
Our team can handle everything from:
- WiFi connectivity setup and optimization
- Electrical connections and safety compliance
- Device integration and testing
- App setup and training to make sure you’re comfortable using your new system
- Ongoing support if you have any questions
WiFi Requirements
Smart pool systems need a reliable internet connection to offer full functionality. During our assessment, we test the WiFi signal strength at your equipment pad and recommend WiFi extenders if necessary to ensure consistent connectivity.
