Complete Control at Your Fingertips
Gone are the days of manually adjusting valves or walking to the equipment pad in the dark. With our smart technology installations, your Sanford home becomes a hub of effortless relaxation.
Smartphone & Voice Integration
Imagine saying, “Alexa, turn on the spa,” or “Hey Siri, set the pool lights to Sapphire Blue.” Our systems integrate seamlessly with major home automation platforms. Whether you are at home in Sanford or traveling abroad, you have real-time access to your pool’s status.
Automated Heating & Energy Efficiency
Heating a luxury pool or spa can be a significant investment. Our smart controllers monitor ambient temperatures and use weather-predictive logic to heat your pool efficiently. By automating your variable-speed pumps, we can reduce energy consumption by up to 90% compared to traditional single-speed systems.
Remote Diagnostics
As a full-service contractor, we value your peace of mind. Many of our smart systems allow for remote monitoring. If a sensor detects an issue with your filtration or chemical levels, we can often diagnose the problem remotely, saving you time and preventing costly repairs.
Advanced Features of Smart Pool Technology
When we design a custom luxury pool, we look at technology as a tool to enhance both aesthetics and functionality. Below are some of the most popular automation features we install for our Sanford clients:
1. Smart LED Lighting
Transform your backyard at night with programmable LED lighting. Choose from millions of colors and pre-set “light shows” for parties or romantic evenings. Automation allows your lights to turn on automatically at sunset and sync with your landscaping lights.
2. Automatic Chemical Management
One of the biggest hurdles of pool ownership is water chemistry. We install advanced salt-chlorine generators and liquid chemical feeders that monitor pH and ORP levels in real-time. The system automatically adjusts the dosage, ensuring your water is always crystal clear and safe without you ever touching a chemical bottle.
3. Robotic Cleaners & In-Floor Systems
Keep your pool floor spotless with the latest in robotic cleaning technology. These units can be scheduled via an app and even feature “remote drive” modes. For the ultimate luxury experience, we offer integrated in-floor cleaning systems that are virtually invisible and fully automated.
4. Motorized Pool Covers
Safety and cleanliness meet modern tech. With a simple tap on your device or a wall-mounted switch, our high-end motorized covers slide into place, protecting your investment and reducing heat loss.

Frequently Asked Questions About Smart Pools
Can I upgrade my existing pool to be "Smart"?
Yes! While it is easiest to install automation during the initial construction phase, we can replace your old timers and pumps with modern, app-controlled systems.
Is smart pool technology reliable?
Absolutely. We only use industry-leading brands known for their durability and long-term software support. Our status as a certified contractor ensures that all installations are performed according to manufacturer specifications, protecting your warranties.
Does automation save money?
In the long run, yes. By optimizing pump speeds, heating schedules, and chemical usage, smart pools significantly lower monthly operating costs and prevent the “human error” that leads to expensive algae blooms or equipment failure.
How does automation affect the lifespan of my pool equipment?
Surprisingly, smart technology actually extends the life of your equipment. Traditional systems often run at “all or nothing” speeds, which puts significant wear and tear on motors and seals. Automation allows for variable-speed control, meaning your pump only works as hard as it needs to for the specific task (like filtering vs. powering a waterfall). By preventing equipment from overworking and maintaining perfect chemical balance, you avoid the corrosive conditions and overheating that lead to premature failure.
Is the software easy to use for someone who isn't "tech-savvy"?
Absolutely. We prioritize user-friendly interfaces that are as intuitive as using a weather app or social media. During our hand-off process, a Southern Pool Designs expert will walk you through the interface and ensure you feel confident. If you can operate a smartphone, you can operate your luxury pool.
