Upgrading your pad toSmart pool control

Older pools often rely on mechanical timers with metal trippers. We can upgrade your pad to a digital automation system that coordinates your variable-speed pump, heater and lights.

An automation panel handles equipment schedules for the pool and spa. We repair automation controls and provide a written estimate before the work begins.

On the few freezing nights, circulation must run. Kingfisher checks freeze sensors and automation settings each November.

Comparing manual timers andAutomation systems

Mechanical clocks are basic, but digital automation provides far more control over modern variable-speed pumps and heaters.

Mechanical timers

  • Basic dial and metal trippers
  • Turns one device on and off
  • Cannot change pump speeds
  • Requires manual adjustments

Digital automation

  • Programmable digital schedules
  • Controls multiple devices
  • Changes variable-speed flow
  • Includes freeze protection

Questions about pool automation

All Questions
Which pool automation brands do you install?

We repair most major pool equipment brands. Kingfisher installs Pentair, Hayward and Jandy equipment.

What does the freeze protection do?

When the air temperature drops near freezing, the sensor tells the panel to turn the circulation pump on. On the few freezing nights, circulation must run.

Can you fix my old mechanical timer?

Yes, we repair timers and controls. A technician evaluates the equipment and provides a written estimate before any repair begins.
