Pool Automation Repair Near Me in Miami
When your pool controller stops working, several pieces of equipment may be affected at the same time. You may lose control of your filtration schedule, heater, spa, lights, salt system or water features.
Our automation service begins with an evaluation of the complete system rather than replacing parts without identifying the source of the problem.
We inspect:
-
Automation control panel.
-
Breakers and electrical supply.
-
Relays.
-
Low-voltage communication wiring.
-
Equipment connections.
-
Mobile app and network connection.
-

-
Pool and spa configuration.
-
Lighting circuits.
-
Equipment schedules and assigned functions.
After troubleshooting, we explain whether the system can be repaired, needs a specific component or would benefit from an upgrade.

Pentair IntelliCenter Repair and Programming
Pentair IntelliCenter can control multiple pool and spa functions, but incorrect settings, communication problems or equipment changes can prevent the system from operating normally.
We troubleshoot compatible IntelliCenter systems experiencing:
-
IntelliCenter app connection problems.
-
Pump communication errors.
-
Missing equipment or circuits.
-
Incorrect pump speeds.
-
Heater not receiving a call for heat.
-
Pool lights not appearing in the controller.
-
Incorrect pool or spa schedules.
-
Valve actuators not changing position.
-
Temperature sensor problems.
-
Salt system communication issues.
-
System configuration problems after equipment replacement.
-
Programming lost after a power interruption or component change.
We can also help configure schedules, pump speeds, heater settings, light functions and pool/spa operating modes.
Pentair IntelliConnect Troubleshooting
IntelliConnect is commonly used to provide simplified smartphone control for compatible pool equipment.
Possible IntelliConnect issues include:
-
Controller offline.
-
Wi-Fi signal or setup problems.
-
Pump not following its schedule.
-
Heater not turning on remotely.
-
Salt system information not displaying.
-
Equipment assigned incorrectly.
-
App commands not reaching the equipment.
-
Wiring or communication problems.
-
System needing to be reset and reconfigured.
Because IntelliConnect has a more limited control capacity than a complete automation panel, we will also determine whether it remains appropriate for your current equipment.
An upgrade may make sense when you add:
-
Pool and spa operation.
-
Several automatic valves.
-
Multiple lighting circuits.
-
More water features.
-
Additional pumps.
-
Advanced salt system integration.
-
More equipment than the existing controller can manage.
Pentair EasyTouch and ScreenLogic Upgrades
Older EasyTouch systems may still operate the pool correctly but lack the convenience, connectivity or expansion options offered by newer automation.
You may need an EasyTouch or ScreenLogic upgrade when:
-
Remote access is unreliable.
-
The mobile connection frequently disconnects.
-
You are replacing an older pump.
-
You want better smartphone control.
-
Existing controls are difficult to program.
-
Replacement components are becoming impractical.
-
You are remodeling the entire equipment pad.
We evaluate the existing enclosure, relays, wiring, equipment and desired features before recommending a repair or conversion.
Pool Automation Wi-Fi and App Connection Problems
A pool automation controller depends on more than the app. The problem may involve the controller, antenna, network connection, signal strength, router settings, communication cable or system configuration.
Our troubleshooting process may include:
-
Confirming power to the automation system.
-
Checking the controller status.
-
Inspecting communication connections.
-
Reviewing the home network connection.
-
Confirming that the automation system is online.
-
Checking the mobile application setup.
-
Testing commands sent to connected equipment.
-
Reprogramming compatible functions when necessary.
Moving the router or repeatedly reinstalling the app will not correct a damaged component, failed communication cable or incorrectly configured controller. A complete evaluation helps avoid unnecessary equipment replacement.
Pool Pump Not Communicating With Automation
A variable-speed pump must be installed, wired and programmed correctly to communicate with a compatible automation system.
Common symptoms include:
-
Pump says “Display Not Active.”
-
Pump operates manually but not from the app.
-
Automation shows the wrong pump status.
-
Pump starts but does not change speeds.
-
Filtration schedules do not run.
-
Pump stops communicating intermittently.
-
New pump was installed but never added to the controller.
-
Pump and controller use incompatible communication methods.
We inspect the pump model, power supply, communication wiring, controller settings and programmed speeds.
When compatible, we can program different speeds for:
-
Normal filtration.
-
Heating.
-
Spa operation.
-
Waterfalls.
-
Bubblers.
-
Cleaning systems.
-
Salt chlorine production.
-
High-flow operation.
Pool Heater Not Working With Automation
A heater may operate from its local control panel but fail to start through the pool automation system.
Possible causes include:
-
Incorrect heater mode.
-
Temperature setting conflicts.
-
Damaged control wiring.
-
Incorrect automation configuration.
-
Water-flow problems.
-
Pump speed set too low.
-
Heater safety condition.
-
Failed temperature sensor.
-
Communication incompatibility.
-
Incorrect fireman-switch connection.
We inspect how the heater is connected and confirm whether the problem originates in the automation system, heater, pump flow or another component.
Pool Lights Not Responding to Automation
Smart automation can make LED pool lights easier to operate, but older wiring, mixed light models or incorrect programming can cause inconsistent colors and commands.
We troubleshoot:
-
Pool lights not turning on.
-
Lights not turning off.
-
Color-changing lights out of synchronization.
-
One light displaying a different color.
-
Lighting circuit not appearing in the app.
-
Transformer or relay problems.
-
Incorrect light-type selection.
-
Lights cycling continuously.
-
Automation commands not reaching the lights.
-
New lights that were never programmed into the system.
A site inspection may be necessary to determine whether the issue involves the controller, relay, transformer, wiring or underwater light.
Automatic Pool Valve and Spa Mode Repair
Pool and spa combinations often use automatic valve actuators to redirect water when spa mode is activated.
Signs of an actuator or programming problem include:
-
Pool heats instead of the spa.
-
Spa drains when the system turns off.
-
Water level changes unexpectedly.
-
Valve does not move.
-
Actuator rotates in the wrong direction.
-
Spillway runs at the wrong time.
-
Spa mode activates the wrong pump speed.
-
Water feature operates when it should be off.
We evaluate valve position, actuator switches, automation assignments and pool/spa programming.
Repair or Replace Your Pool Automation System?
Not every automation problem requires a complete replacement.
Repair may be the better option when:
-
The system is still compatible with your equipment.
-
The problem involves programming or a connection.
-
A relay, sensor or actuator can be replaced.
-
Smartphone connectivity can be restored.
-
The panel has enough capacity for your pool.
-
Replacement components remain reasonably available.
An upgrade may be better when:
-
The automation system is outdated.
-
Several components are failing.
-
You recently installed new equipment.
-
Your existing controller cannot manage all pool functions.
-
You want smartphone access.
-
You are adding a spa, heater, salt system or water features.
-
You are remodeling the entire equipment pad.
-
Repair costs are approaching the cost of modernization.
DG Pool Supply can explain both options and provide an estimate based on your actual system.
