Swimming pool automation is a great option for pool owners who want to cut energy use and reduce their electric bill. If your swimming pool has added features controlled by the pool pump, like waterfalls, spas, or fountains, automation is a smart choice. Now you won’t have to remember when and how long to run the pump—just set the timer so you can get back to lounging poolside.Managing your swimming pool equipment is tedious and time consuming, so it can be easy to forget things like keeping track of your pool pump schedule. Pool pump timers will never forget to turn your pump on and off at the appropriate times, so you never have to worry about accidentally letting it run during peak electric hours.
