Smart Automation: One of the Top Pool Trends of 2026 🚀💦
My Pool Repairs • January 23, 2026
If there’s one pool upgrade that’s definitely shaping 2026, it’s Smart Pool Automation, and Florida homeowners are among the biggest beneficiaries.
What Is Smart Automation?
Smart automation connects your pool systems (pump, heater, lights, cleaners, water features) to intuitive controls, usually via a smartphone app or voice assistant. Think of it like turning your pool into a smart appliance that adapts to your schedule and preferences.
Why It’s a Game-Changer for Florida Pools:
Remote Control & Convenience: Adjust temperature, lighting, sanitation, or schedule from anywhere… at home, at work, or on vacation.
Energy & Cost Savings: Automated scheduling and smart sensors help optimize pump speeds, heating cycles, and chemical dosing, which reduces energy waste and lowers bills.
Better Water Quality, Automatically: Advanced automation systems can monitor pH, sanitizer levels, and temperature and make adjustments for you, so your water stays clean and balanced with less guesswork.
Personalized Ambiance: Schedule LED lighting themes, water features, and heat settings to match swim times, parties, or quiet evenings.
Peace of Mind & Alerts: Get instant notifications if something’s off (like temperature swings, low sanitizer, or a pump running too long) before it becomes a problem.
Smart Automation = More Time Enjoying Your Pool
In Florida’s year-round swim season, smart pool tech isn’t just a convenience — it’s a lifestyle upgrade. It enhances everyday use, improves efficiency, and turns your pool into a more responsive, enjoyable oasis.
Thinking about adding automation?
My Pool Repairs can help you choose the right system, handle installation, and provide ongoing maintenance and repairs so your setup runs flawlessly all year long.
