What Is Pool Automation?

Pool automation is a smart control system that runs a pool’s pump, heater, lighting, water features, and salt or chemical systems on a schedule or from a phone app.

What It Controls

A single automation system manages the variable-speed pump schedule, heater and spa, LED and feature lighting, water features, and salt or chemical systems — set from a wall panel or a phone app from anywhere.

Why It Saves Money

Running a variable-speed pump on a smart schedule is dramatically more efficient than a single-speed pump running full time, and automation ensures equipment runs only when needed. The energy savings add up over a season.

Hayward Standard

JHL Pools builds with Hayward automation as an authorized partner. New pools are wired for automation from the start, and most existing pools can be upgraded during a renovation or equipment refresh.
