Equipment Upgrades
Pool Equipment Upgrades
Modernize your pool's mechanical systems during renovation. Newer equipment runs quieter, uses less energy, and gives you smart automation control.
Upgrade Options
Equipment We Install
We're authorized dealers for Pentair, Hayward, and all major pool equipment brands.
Variable-Speed Pumps
Upgrade older inefficient pumps to modern variable-speed models that use 60–80% less electricity and run quieter. Required by DOE regulations for all new installations.
Energy-Efficient Heaters
Upgrade to high-efficiency gas heaters or heat pumps that heat faster and cost less to operate. Modern heaters offer 95%+ thermal efficiency.
Salt Chlorine Generators
Switch from manual chlorine dosing to a salt system that produces its own chlorine automatically. Softer water, less chemical handling, and lower ongoing costs.
Smart Automation Systems
Control your pump, heater, lights, water features, and cleaning system from your phone. Pentair, Hayward, and Jandy automation platforms available.
LED Lighting Upgrades
Replace old incandescent pool and spa lights with color-changing LEDs. Lower energy use, longer lifespan, and programmable color shows.
Robotic Pool Cleaners
Upgrade from suction-side or pressure-side cleaners to a smart robotic cleaner that maps your pool and cleans independently.
Common Questions
Equipment Upgrade FAQ
Should I upgrade equipment during a renovation?
Yes — renovation is the ideal time to upgrade equipment. The pool is already drained and plumbing is accessible, so the labor cost is significantly lower than doing it as a standalone project. Plus, new equipment complements your fresh finish and tile.
How much can I save with a variable-speed pump?
Most homeowners save $50–$100+ per month on electricity after upgrading from an older pump. The upgrade typically pays for itself within 1–2 years through energy savings alone.
Is a salt system worth the investment?
For most pool owners, yes. Salt systems produce a consistent, gentle level of chlorine automatically, reduce chemical costs by 50–70%, and create softer-feeling water. The initial investment is $1,500–$3,000 installed.
Can you upgrade my automation without replacing all my equipment?
In many cases, yes. Modern automation systems can integrate with existing pumps, heaters, and lights. We assess your current equipment and recommend the most cost-effective upgrade path.
