Frequently asked POOL SERVICE questions

What is a pool automation system and what can go wrong with it?

Pool automation systems like Jandy iAquaLink, Pentair IntelliTouch, and Hayward OmniLogic let you control your pool’s pump, heater, lights, valves, and features remotely via app or panel. Common issues include non-responsive control panels, communication errors between the controller and equipment, relay failures, app connectivity problems, and sensor malfunctions. 

Yes, and pool automation is one of our areas of expertise. We service and repair all major automation brands including Jandy, Pentair, Hayward, and Zodiac. Our technicians receive ongoing training on new systems and software updates as the technology evolves. 

Automation issues vary widely depending on the system, so we perform a thorough on-site diagnostic before recommending any repair. Contact us at 602-842-7178 or callpoolpilots.com to schedule an assessment. 

Not always. Sometimes app connectivity issues are resolved with a router restart, app update, or control panel reboot. But if you have tried the basics and the system still will not connect or respond, it may indicate a hardware or communication failure that requires a technician. Call Pool Pilots at 602-842-7178 and we can help walk you through troubleshooting. 

Yes. Pool Pilots installs new pool automation systems and can upgrade older manual systems to fully automated control. Whether you are starting fresh or upgrading, we will help you find the right system for your pool setup. Contact us at 602-842-7178 to discuss your options. 

Yes. Extreme heat can cause control boards, relays, and wiring to fail prematurely, especially in equipment pads that get full afternoon sun. Regular maintenance checks of your automation system, especially heading into summer, can catch degrading components before they cause a full failure.
