Modern pool technology has made owning a pool easier than ever. Here are some upgrades that help you make the most of tech innovations.
Owning a pool nowadays is about more than just having a place to swim. You want to create a space your friends and family can enjoy that’s easy to maintain, welcoming, and efficient. You want luxury and convenience that fit into busy lifestyles. Whether it’s manual cleaning and testing, lighting, or safety, numerous technological advancements make pool ownership easier than ever, allowing you to spend less time on chores and more time relaxing.
Why Upgrade Your Pool's Technology?
Of course, it’s possible to own a pool the old-fashioned way. You can keep things basic, but that means more labour and inconvenience. Spending hours on upkeep can take away from the joy of owning a pool. Convenience is one of the primary reasons people upgrade to modern heating, cleaning, and maintenance options. But it’s not the only one.
Automatic solutions can also save you money. Many systems available today for day-to-day pool care reduce water and energy waste by optimizing usage and preventing overuse. Thanks to built-in safety features and smart monitoring, they can also reduce your pool’s environmental impact and make it safer for children and pets. For many pool owners, this is the peace of mind you can’t put a price tag on.
What are some of the best innovations available to help you make your pool your favourite space?
Robotic Pool Cleaners
Cleaning the pool is one of the most time-consuming and unpleasant tasks that pool owners deal with. Thankfully, technological innovations make the process easier than ever. These systems replace manual pool vacuuming, saving time and reducing wear and tear on your pool filter. Many robotic cleaners come equipped with sensors that intelligently map the pool floor, allowing for thorough and efficient cleaning.
One of the best robotic pool cleaners on the market is the Dolphin M600 Robotic Pool Cleaner (SKU: 99996610-US). It’s user-friendly, making pool cleaning efficient and effortless. And its quiet operation allows you to run it anytime without disturbing your outdoor peace.
Saltwater Chlorination Systems
Would you love a saltwater chlorination system that reduces the harsh chemical smell of your pool and makes the water softer on your skin and eyes? These systems minimize the frequent chemical balancing required by traditional pools, saving you time and effort while enhancing the swimming experience.
The Hayward AquaTrol Salt System (SKU: AQ-TROL-RJ-CUL) automatically converts salt into chlorine, creating a better swimming experience for your entire family. It’s easy to install and works with in-ground and above-ground pools, offering flexibility for many pool types.
Lighting
Upgrading your pool’s lighting is one way to enhance the ambiance and safety of your space. This is especially true when you invest in LED lighting that allows you to change colours and put your lighting on programmable timers. LED lights use less power and last longer than conventional lighting options, which helps reduce your energy bills and maintenance needs.
We love the ColorLogic 320 LED Light (SKU: LACCS11100) because it offers multi-colour options and has a long cable for flexible installation. Customizing colours allows you to create the perfect mood for evening swims or outdoor gatherings.
Automatic Control Panels
Few things make tending to your pool more convenient than installing control panels that automate manual tasks. The best control panels enable you to turn lights on and off, set them for automatic on and off, control the water temperature, turn the pump on and off, and clean your pool with just the touch of a button. Many of these systems can also be integrated into your overall home automation systems, further reducing the daily hassle of using your pool.
One of the best control panel options is the Hayward OmniHub Smart Pool Control (SKU: HLOMNIHUB). Once installed, you can operate it from your phone, allowing you to address pool issues while away from home. This convenience ensures your pool is always ready when you are.
Bring Your Pool to the Next Level
Upgrading to the latest and greatest technology is a great way to make your pool more convenient and fun. You’ll reduce the manual work needed to keep your pool operating, giving you more time to enjoy swimming and spending quality time with your loved ones. Whether you're upgrading your existing pool or installing a new one, technology is a worthwhile investment for pool owners who want to maximize enjoyment and efficiency.
