Control panels, actuator valves, relay boards, and app connectivity diagnosed and fixed — on Pentair, Jandy, and Hayward systems, from a single dead relay to a panel that won't power on.
Automation makes running a pool easier right up until it doesn't — a panel that's stopped responding, an app that won't connect, or a valve that no longer moves on command turns a convenience into a puzzle. We work Pentair IntelliCenter and EasyTouch, Jandy AquaLink, and Hayward OmniLogic and OmniHub systems, and we start by isolating whether the fault is in the panel, the wiring, or the network connection before touching anything.
What actually fails
Panel won't switch equipment on
A relay that's stuck open or closed leaves one piece of equipment permanently on or off regardless of what the panel says. We test relays individually rather than replacing the whole board on a guess.
Won't rotate on command
Valve actuators that stall mid-rotation or stop responding entirely usually trace back to a worn gear train or a failed motor inside the actuator housing, not the valve body itself.
Panel won't power on
A dead or failing transformer takes the whole panel down at once — distinct from a single relay fault, and usually the first thing we check on a completely unresponsive system.
Wi-Fi module & pairing
Remote app control depends on a Wi-Fi module holding a connection to your home network — a module fault, a router change, or a firmware issue can each break it differently, and we sort out which before re-pairing anything.
Is it worth automating an older system?
Older automation panels eventually hit a point where parts are harder to source than a straight upgrade to a current system costs — and a current-generation panel pairs more reliably with variable-speed pumps and salt systems than a decade-old one ever will. We'll tell you plainly which side of that line your panel is on before you spend money chasing parts for something worth replacing.
Common questions
Not necessarily. Equipment often keeps running on its last schedule even when the app loses connection — it's frequently a Wi-Fi or router issue, not a panel failure.
Yes, in most cases, provided the existing valves and equipment are compatible or can be swapped for automation-ready versions. We'll scope that during the visit.
