Your Dream Pool, Built Right
Pool Automation in New Jersey
Control your pool from your phone. MC Pools installs and services Pentair pool automation systems across Bergen County — making your pool smarter, more efficient, and easier to enjoy.
Your Pool, on Autopilot
Imagine adjusting your pool temperature from the couch. Turning on the waterfall before you walk outside. Setting your pool lights to match the mood of a backyard dinner party — all from your phone. That’s pool automation, and it’s no longer a luxury feature. It’s the new standard.
MC Pools is a certified Pentair installer, and we specialize in pool automation systems that give you complete control over every aspect of your pool and spa — from anywhere, at any time.
What Pool Automation Controls
Temperature
Set and schedule your pool and spa heater to hit your ideal temperature exactly when you want it. Heading home from work? Start heating the spa from your car. Weekend guests coming? Schedule the pool to be 84° by Saturday morning. No more waiting. No more wasted energy heating an empty pool.
Filtration & Pumps
Automate your filtration schedule so your pump runs at optimal times — typically during off-peak energy hours. Variable-speed pumps paired with automation can reduce your pool’s energy consumption by up to 80% compared to old single-speed systems running on manual timers.
Lighting
Control your pool and landscape lighting with one tap. Color-changing LED systems let you choose from dozens of colors and light shows. Schedule lights to turn on at sunset and off at bedtime automatically.
Water Features
Waterfalls, bubblers, deck jets, and spillover spas — all controllable from your phone or a wall-mounted panel. Turn features on for entertaining and off when you want quiet. No more walking to the equipment pad.
Chemical Management
Advanced systems can monitor and automatically adjust chlorine and pH levels, keeping your water perfectly balanced with minimal manual intervention. Less time testing, fewer chemical corrections, and consistently safe water.
Why Pentair?
We install Pentair products exclusively for pool automation because they’re the industry leader in reliability, compatibility, and smart home integration. Here’s what makes Pentair stand out:
- Pentair IntelliCenter® — The brain of your pool system. Controls every piece of equipment from one interface. Accessible via the Pentair Home app on iOS and Android.
- Works with Alexa and Google Home — Voice control your pool. “Hey Alexa, set the spa to 102.”
- Variable-speed pump integration — Pentair IntelliFlo® pumps are the most energy-efficient on the market and integrate seamlessly with IntelliCenter.
- Scalable — Start with basic pump and heater control, add lighting, water features, and chemical management over time. The system grows with you.
- Proven reliability — Pentair has been the standard in pool equipment for decades. Parts are available, support is strong, and the technology is battle-tested.
Who Needs Pool Automation?
Every pool owner. But especially:
- Busy homeowners who don’t want to think about pool management
- Families who want the pool ready when the kids get home from school
- Entertainers who want to set the scene with one tap before guests arrive
- Energy-conscious owners looking to cut utility costs significantly
- Snowbirds and vacationers who want to monitor their pool remotely
- Pool owners with spas — automation makes spa heating fast and effortless

Pool Automation Cost in New Jersey
The cost of adding automation to your pool depends on your existing equipment and how much you want to control:
- Basic automation (pump + heater control): $2,500 – $5,000
- Mid-level (pump, heater, lights, one water feature): $5,000 – $8,000
- Full system (all equipment, lighting, features, chemical management): $8,000 – $15,000+
- Automation + equipment upgrade bundle (new pump, heater, and automation): $10,000 – $20,000+
The energy savings from a variable-speed pump and optimized scheduling typically pay back $500-$1,200 per year — meaning most systems pay for themselves within 3-5 years.
