Take Control of Your Pool from Your Favorite Armchair – Or Anywhere!

Remember the days when adjusting your pool heater meant trudging out to the equipment pad in your bathrobe, flipping switches, and hoping you got the temperature just right? Those days are happily behind us, thanks to Pentair's smart controls and automation systems. Here at ProPools.com, we've seen countless customers transform their backyard oasis from "nice pool" to "wow, this thing practically runs itself!"
 
Pentair's lineup – including the popular EasyTouch and IntelliTouch systems – lets you manage everything from pump schedules and heater settings to colorful LED lights and spa jets, all without leaving the house. Add the Pentair ScreenLogic2 Interface and suddenly your smartphone or tablet becomes the ultimate pool remote. Imagine pre-warming the spa on your drive home from work or turning on the waterfall because the grand kids are coming over – no more dashed hopes when you realize the water's still chilly!
 
Technically speaking, these systems integrate beautifully with Pentair variable-speed pumps and salt chlorine generators, helping you save up to 90% on energy costs compared to old single-speed setups (real numbers many of our customers report on their electric bills). The ScreenLogic wireless kits can even let you monitor water temperature, chemistry alerts, and equipment status from anywhere with an internet connection.
