Your swimming pool can make staying home more than you’re used to something to be excited about. There’s no doubt that pool ownership adds many benefits to your life, such as: quality family time, better physical fitness, greater relaxation, stress-relief, a perfect place to entertain, and more. We love our pools and it would be hard pressed to imagine it could get any better. That being said, there have been many recent innovations and advances in technology that offer some amazing enhancements to the experience. We’d love to share with you some of the most innovative equipment for your pool on the market, taking your pool owning experience to new depths.

Energy Savings

An older pool pump can be a big consumer of energy and contribute substantially to higher utility bills. The Department of Energy has put forth new regulations, effective July 2021, calling for the use of more energy-efficient pool pumps. These new pumps will save both energy and your money. The cost of running your pool pump could be reduced up to 90%. Older model pumps are being phased out and replaced with the new energy compliant models. Replacing your aging pool pump is a great way to reduce your utility bills and benefit the environment.

Robotic Pool Cleaners

You really can delegate the task of cleaning your pool! Start enjoying your pool more and spend less time maintaining it by hand with an automatic pool cleaner. These robotic vacuums travel all over your pool for periods of time during the day removing dirt and debris. Brands such as the SharkVac XL Automatic Robotic Pool Cleaner® deliver a complete clean by scouring the floor, walls, and coves in just three hours! The SharkVac cleaners also run separately from your pool’s filtration system, saving it from wear and tear. These innovative work savers are a no-brainer when it comes to making your pool ownership easier.

Pool Automation Systems

Pool automation is not just for technology geeks. It’s easier than ever with the new systems available in today’s market. Imagine being able to operate every aspect of your pool and its equipment with the touch of a button – even if you are nowhere near it! All you need is a reliable internet connection and a connection to a central control hub. This control hub will allow you to control your pool’s:

• Pump
• Heater
• Lighting 
• Water features
• and more!

Would you believe the latest versions of pool automation systems can be set up in about two hours? It’s best to have a professional install the system, but operating it yourself is a breeze. You can then control all your pool equipment from work, when you are on vacation, or otherwise occupied.
