Swimming Pool Automation Systems

Take complete control of your pool and spa with a pool automation system — controlling pumps, heaters, lights, sanitizers, and water features from a single panel or smartphone app. PST Pool Supplies stocks full automation solutions from Pentair, Hayward, and Waterway, including complete load centers, personality kits, pH controllers, and timer systems, starting from $114.

Pentair IntelliCenter is the flagship of residential pool automation — the complete IntelliCenter load center and i10PS personality kit supports up to 10 programmable circuits, managing every aspect of pool and spa equipment from one intuitive interface. The IntelliCenter i10PS personality kit upgrades or configures IntelliCenter systems with 10-circuit control, while the common load center (522041) and the i10D with relay expansion kit provide flexible system architectures for complex installations with multiple equipment zones. The Pentair IntelliPH pH controller (522711) integrates pH monitoring and automatic acid dosing directly into the IntelliCenter ecosystem for fully automated water chemistry management. The Hayward AquaLogic P-4 display is a pool-only local display for AquaLogic systems, while the Waterway Oasis Pool Control with WiFi offers a more accessible entry-level automation solution with remote app-based control.

Pool automation systems deliver tangible energy savings beyond the convenience factor. Variable-speed pump integration through an automation system (like the Pentair IntelliFlo VS drive kit) allows the automation system to run the pump at low speed during off-peak hours and ramp up only for features, heating, or cleaning cycles — a pool running a VS pump on an intelligent schedule typically saves 50–80% on pump energy costs compared to a fixed-speed pump running continuously. Smart pH control prevents chemical waste from over-dosing and protects equipment from corrosion damage. Timer-based equipment scheduling reduces total runtime for lights, heaters, and sanitizers. When selecting an automation system, plan your total circuit count including future expansions — upgrading system capacity after initial installation is more costly than sizing correctly from the start.

Shop pool automation systems and take the guesswork — and daily manual effort — out of pool and spa management.
