From automated valve actuators to app-controlled pump scheduling, Pool Quest installs and configures automation systems built around your existing equipment.

Expert Pool Automation by Pool Quest

Automation replaces manual timers and valve turning with a controller that runs your pump, heating, lighting, and sometimes chemical dosing on a schedule or on demand from your phone. It’s most valuable for pools with multiple functions such as a spa or water features that would otherwise need manual switching.

Why Pool Automation Is Worth Installing

Automation reduces energy waste by running equipment only when needed, catches scheduling mistakes that waste water and chemicals, and lets you spot problems like a pump not switching on remotely instead of discovering them days later.

What’s Included in Our Pool Automation Service

We install and configure automation around the equipment you already have wherever possible:

Smart Pump Control

App or controller-based scheduling for pump run times, replacing manual timers.

Automated Valve Actuators

Motorised valves that switch between pool, spa, or water features automatically.

App-Based Monitoring

Remote monitoring so you can check and adjust your pool system from your phone.

Automated Chemical Dosing

Controllers that dose chlorine or pH adjusters automatically based on sensor readings.

Smart Timer Installation

Programmable timers for pumps, heaters, and lighting on independent schedules.

Integration With Existing Equipment

Connecting automation to your current pump, chlorinator, and heater where compatible.

Remote Troubleshooting Support

Diagnosing many automation faults remotely before booking a callout.

How Our Pool Automation Installation Works

Installation is built around what you already have, not a forced equipment swap:

  • Equipment Review

    We check what pump, valves, and chlorinator you have and what’s compatible with automation.

  • System Design

    We recommend the right level of automation, from a simple smart timer to full app control.

  • Installation & Wiring

    Controllers, actuators, and sensors are installed and wired to your equipment.

  • App Setup

    Your automation app or controller is configured and linked to your equipment.

  • Schedule Programming

    We set initial run schedules based on your pool’s size and usage.

  • Handover & Training

    We walk you through using the app or controller before we leave.

Most residential automation installs are completed in a single visit, though systems with multiple valves or dosing units may take longer.

Automation Doesn’t Replace Maintenance

Automation reduces manual work, but it doesn’t remove the need for regular pool cleaning and equipment checks. If your pump timer isn’t running on schedule, that’s often the first sign an automation component needs attention.

We install and configure pool automation systems that work with your existing equipment, not against it.

FAQs – Pool Automation

1. Can automation be added to my existing pump and pool equipment?

In most cases yes. We check compatibility with your current pump, valves, and chlorinator before recommending a system.

Yes, mainly through reduced pump run time and fewer wasted chemical doses from manual over-correction.

Most systems we install support app control for pump scheduling and, on some setups, valve switching and dosing.

Most systems can be run manually as a backup while we diagnose and repair the controller.

Yes, for pools where consistent, sensor-based dosing makes sense — we’ll advise if it suits your setup.

Most residential installs take a single day; more complex multi-valve setups may take longer.

Yes, where possible — we diagnose and repair most major residential pool automation brands.
