Your Pool, Controlled

Smart pool automation lets you control every aspect of your pool — lighting, heating, pumps, water features, and even chemical levels — from your phone, tablet, or voice assistant. Set schedules, create lighting scenes, and monitor your pool from anywhere in the world.

Macaw Pool Builders installs and integrates the leading pool automation systems: Hayward OmniLogic/OmniHub and Pentair IntelliCenter. We also integrate pool automation with smart home systems for fully unified control.

Smart Pool Automation in Central Florida — Hayward & Pentair Experts

Smart pool automation transforms how you interact with your pool. Instead of manually turning valves, flipping switches, and adding chemicals, you control everything from your phone: lighting, heating, pumps, water features, and chemistry. Set schedules, create lighting scenes, heat your spa on the way home, and monitor water quality from anywhere in the world.

The two leading automation systems are Hayward OmniLogic/OmniHub and Pentair IntelliCenter. Both offer mobile apps, voice control integration (Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit), and remote monitoring. Macaw Pool Builders is certified to install and service both systems across all 9 Central Florida counties.

Automation is standard on all Macaw luxury pool builds (over $80,000) and can be added to any existing pool. Basic automation (lighting, pump, heater control) starts around $1,500. Full automation with chemical monitoring, smart home integration, and all water features runs $5,000–$12,000. The energy savings from variable-speed pump scheduling alone often pays for the system in 2–3 years.
