Before sunrise, a pale shimmer spreads across still water, the deck rests cool beneath the palms, and a well‑tuned automation system begins its quiet work, circulating, filtering, and preparing the day without pause. By evening, when conversation drifts across the surface, and lighting softens the edges of your space, that same system carries on in the background, allowing the backyard to maintain its rhythm while you enjoy all that it offers.
For homeowners searching for pool automation in Florida, or comparing options for a truly energy‑efficient pool, clarity in the circuits, schedules, and scenes created for each unique space remains the difference between a system you manage, and a system that quietly manages itself.
Consultation & Design
From the first conversation with your designer, A&G Concrete Pools focuses on your unique lifestyle, translating early swims, weekend gatherings, relaxed weeknights, and time away into practical choices for smart pool controls. Habits become a clear map of circuits, valves, and feature groupings, fully planned to fit your life before the first trench is cut, and through a longstanding partnership with Jandy and their iAquaLink system, smartphone controls simplify any and every action throughout the day, each identified without introducing unnecessary complexity.
Alignment here naturally reduces revisions later in the process, as we define what to automate, set sensible schedules, and plan safe, open working space at the equipment pad. That preparation leads to a cleaner jobsite, a smoother handoff, and a backyard that performs beautifully long after start‑up, each a hallmark of a custom pool builder on the Treasure Coast trusted with luxury pools and complete outdoor living for nearly four decades.
Core Capabilities
At its best, modern pool automation gathers the essentials of pool operation under one simple interface, so that the system feels unified, rather than pieced together. Variable‑speed pumps, spa heat or chill, lighting scenes, sheer descents and bubblers, and auxiliary zones are all adjusted from the iAquaLink app, at home or away, so temperature changes, timers, scenes, and status checks become intuitive and accessible, rather than being locked behind set of separate controls.
Where it supports the experience, voice control and select home‑platform integrations extend that simplicity, while a dependable Jandy automation control center at the pad ensures what you request is precisely what happens on site. This is the foundation of an energy‑efficient pool that respects both comfort and operating costs while expressing a cohesive design.
Equipment Layout & Labeling
Effortless control begins with thoughtful physical order, which is why we space components for service, route plumbing with gentle sweeps and balanced manifolds, and label circuits so what you see in the app corresponds cleanly to what you see at the equipment pad. Features and zones are named in iAquaLink to mirror real‑world equipment, creating a system that is readable at a glance, and intuitive for every member of the household.
This kind of planning improves hydraulics and lowers energy use, and it also simplifies future maintenance. Unions and isolation valves at key points, correct pipe sizing, strategic check valves, and smart elevation and drainage at the pad create a network that circulates efficiently, operates quietly, and is easier to service year after year: exactly what discerning homeowners expect from a leading pool company in Florida.
Scenes: Everyday Use, Effortless Simplicity
Scenes exist to compress a dozen decisions into one action, so that your waterscape adapts instantly without micromanagement. While scenes may be customized to your unique needs, the following serve as examples of potential scenes to be incorporated into your space:
Quiet Morning
Low‑RPM filtration polishes the water while keeping energy use modest, features rest, temperatures hold a steady baseline, and the setting reads as calm and unhurried.
Summer Gathering
Steps and sun shelves illuminate for safe wayfinding, water features rise to a showpiece flow, and temperature targets align with comfort so the space feels prepared rather than staged.
Storm Ready
When weather shifts quickly, protection takes priority as circulation and features adjust to safeguard equipment, decorative effects pause, and a post‑storm sweep moves fines toward filtration before schedules resume.
Away Mode
During travel, conservative runtimes maintain clarity and chemistry while lights remain off unless scheduled, temperatures rest at a sensible baseline, and notifications keep you informed so peace of mind travels with you.
Service Day
A single toggle establishes a stable vacuum speed, pauses extras, and presents a consistent baseline for technicians which shortens visits, improves outcomes, and keeps the system performing as designed.
Programming & Orientation
After equipment is commissioned and water is balanced, the A&G team loads scenes, confirm essential schedules, and walk through the iAquaLink app with you so starting the spa, changing lights, adjusting temperatures, and switching modes feels familiar from day one. We also show where seasonal adjustments and safeguards live so small changes never feel intimidating and ownership remains straightforward.
Documentation accompanies handoff, and if ongoing care is desired, optional maintenance services extend the same clarity into ownership so automation, water quality, and comfort remain aligned over time. For many clients this is the moment the value of a fully integrated plan becomes obvious because the system simply works.
How to Manage Floridian Variables
Treasure Coast conditions shape how a system should run, which is why we plan drainage and pad elevation carefully, protect communication modules from the elements, and tune circulation windows to local realities so comfort and clarity remain consistent in July as easily as in January. Where appropriate, we enable seasonal schedule tweaks within iAquaLink so runtimes evolve with the weather rather than working against it and energy use reflects actual needs.
These quiet refinements help maintain water quality while managing operating costs which is exactly the kind of invisible work great pool automation Florida is meant to handle. The result is a cohesive outdoor living environment supported by smart technology and built by a custom pool builder who understands both design and climate.
Platform Compatibility
Because A&G regularly programs the leading automation platforms used in luxury Florida pools, we integrate and label the system you already own or recommend a reliable control center and connected app that pair cleanly with your chosen equipment and preferred features. In most cases we specify a Jandy control center with iAquaLink for its stability, clear interface, and long‑term serviceability.
Either path leads to the same outcome: a cohesive, readable system that responds the way you expect every time. For homeowners comparing custom pool builders or researching pool companies on the Treasure Coast, dependable automation reduces friction, protects your investment, and elevates everyday use.
Effortless by Design
The best automation is almost invisible, listening, responding, and staying out of the way so the waterscape you imagined feels intuitive on the first evening and familiar for years to come. If you are planning a new pool or renovating an existing space, A&G Concrete Pools will design and program an automation system that supports your routines while elevating the experience.
