Local Expertise

What pool automation in San Ramon can do

We can talk through a system by phone, since the right answer depends on the pad and the controller.

More about pool automation in San Ramon
  • Schedules and circuits

    The control screen in Pentair's IntelliCenter quick reference handles schedules for pumps and circuits, the heater source and the lights, plus a service mode. Per the guide, the heater fires only with the pump running and the set point higher than the water temperature. That is how the controller keeps the equipment in sequence.

  • Delays and status badges

    Status badges in yellow and blue mark pump delays, the guide explains, including heat cool-down, valve rotation and priming. This is the IntelliCenter's own guide, so check your controller's manual for its screens, and call us if a badge on your panel is unfamiliar, or if the pump waits longer than you expect.

  • Programming and demonstrations

    Our services include controller programming and equipment demonstrations, and the systems we name are IntelliCenter and AquaLink RS8. One Google reviewer reports that a pool control system and a pool sweep were installed. We do not promise a specific model here, and we can talk through what your pad supports.

Local Conditions

When a San Ramon pool is ready for automation

Automation answers a few everyday frustrations.

More signs to watch for in San Ramon
  • Switches at the pad. If every change means walking out to the equipment, a controller moves the schedule to a screen or an app. Smart systems let you change the water temperature, the lights and the filtration from a phone or tablet.
  • A heater that runs at odd times. On an IntelliCenter, a controller sets the heater source and the set point against the pump schedule. The heater only runs when the pump is on. That means the pump schedule sets when it can heat.
  • An old controller. A controller that has failed or is out of date may be worth replacing. Ask us about options, and tell us the brand on the panel.
  • A new owner. If you bought a pool with a controller you have never used, our equipment demonstrations and pool orientation walk you through it.

About the Area

Electric supply, schedules and permits in San Ramon

San Ramon has warm to hot, dry summers and short, cool, wet winters, which means a long swim season and a pump schedule that runs for many months. On the western side of the city, near the Bishop Ranch Regional Preserve, pools can back onto open grass. MCE, a community choice energy provider, counts San Ramon among its 15 Contra Costa member cities.

A controller decides when the pump runs, so the schedule can interact with your electric rates. Your San Ramon bill shows which utility serves you.

Ask that provider how run times affect what you pay before you plan a schedule around any rate. Call us to talk through the schedule itself.

What could a controller change at a San Ramon pool? Ask us on (925) 309-4685.

More about pool automation and San Ramon pools

Controller models differ in how they connect to the rest of the pad. The maker's guide for yours comes first.

Permit questions for a controller job go to the City of San Ramon Permit Center. So bring the controller model when you call.

Hayward's AquaRite guide shows another side of automation. The chlorinator's board takes a salt reading and sets output as a percentage of the run time.

It also offers a super-chlorinate position. See our salt system page, and ask us how a salt system and a pad controller can work together on your pool.

Advanced Pool is top notch. When my previous pool companies were very slow to respond when I had issues I found mike through a friend and thankful that he came out that day and repaired my issue.
