Pool automation simplifies ownership by putting control of your pool equipment into a single, reliable system. The Pool Automation & Controllers collection from Benchmark Pool Supply features professional-grade automation systems and standalone controllers designed to manage pumps, heaters, lighting, and water features with greater efficiency and consistency.

Instead of relying on manual timers or constant adjustments, pool automation allows equipment to work together intelligently. Pumps run at the right speeds, heaters activate only when needed, and lighting or features can be scheduled or adjusted without visiting the equipment pad. When properly selected and installed, automation reduces energy waste, improves system reliability, and makes day-to-day pool operation far easier.

This collection includes both full pool automation systems and dedicated equipment controllers for specific functions such as variable-speed pump control. Each product is selected for compatibility, reliability, and real-world service performance—not novelty features.

Why Pool Automation Matters

Modern pools rely on multiple pieces of equipment working together. Without automation, equipment often runs longer than necessary, operates at inefficient settings, or requires frequent manual intervention. Over time, this leads to higher energy costs, unnecessary wear, and inconsistent pool performance.

A properly configured pool automation system helps coordinate equipment operation so everything runs when it should—and only when it should. This improves efficiency, extends equipment life, and gives pool owners better control over how their pool operates.

Automation Systems vs. Individual Controllers

Not every pool requires full automation. Some installations benefit from centralized control of all equipment, while others only need reliable control of a single component such as a variable-speed pump.

This collection includes:

• Complete pool automation systems that integrate pumps, heaters, lighting, and features into one control platform

• Standalone pump controllers and interfaces designed to manage variable-speed pumps efficiently without full automation

Choosing the right level of control depends on the pool’s complexity, upgrade goals, and long-term plans.

Designed for Compatibility and Long-Term Reliability

Pool automation must communicate reliably with connected equipment. Mismatched components or unsupported controllers often lead to programming issues, failed schedules, or service headaches.

The automation products in this collection are selected for compatibility with professional-grade pool equipment and are commonly used by service technicians and installers. This ensures stable communication, predictable performance, and easier long-term support.

Ideal for Upgrades, New Builds, and Equipment Replacements

Pool automation and controllers are commonly installed during equipment upgrades, new pool construction, or when replacing outdated timers and controls. Adding automation at the right time can significantly improve how efficiently the pool operates without requiring a full equipment overhaul later.

Whether you’re modernizing an older pool or planning a new installation, the right controller or automation system makes ongoing ownership simpler and more efficient.

Installation Considerations

Professional installation is strongly recommended for pool automation and controllers. Proper wiring, programming, and configuration are essential for safety, reliability, and manufacturer warranty compliance.

Correct installation also ensures that equipment operates within proper parameters, helping prevent damage and unnecessary service issues.
