Irving Pool Builders provides professional pool automation & controls in Irving, TX for residential and commercial properties across the Las Colinas and mid-cities area. Pool automation is a controller on the equipment pad that runs the pumps, valves, heater, lights and water features on a schedule and puts all of it on your phone. It's the upgrade nobody puts on their wish list and nobody gives up once they have it. In practice it looks like this. The spa is at 102 by the time you get off State Highway 114 and into the driveway. The pool light comes on at dusk without any human deciding to do it. The pump runs its long slow filtration cycle overnight when power is cheapest, then steps up for an hour to run the cleaner and the sheer descent. The feature that quietly justifies the whole thing in Irving is freeze protection. When the air drops past the set point the controller starts circulation on its own, which is the cheapest insurance available against the specific February morning that splits a pump housing and a run of PVC while you're asleep. We see those failures every hard freeze, and almost all of them are pools that were switched off for the winter. Chemical automation is the next tier. An ORP and pH sensor pair reads the water continuously and doses acid or chlorine only when the readings actually move, so you stop riding the cycle of cloudy Monday and over-shocked Tuesday, and you stop buying chemicals the pool didn't need. On a salt pool the controller also drives cell output, so the cell isn't running flat out all August and dying early. Hardware is Pentair IntelliCenter, Hayward OmniLogic or Jandy iAquaLink, and we match the controller to the equipment already on the pad where we can. Mixed brands work, but one manufacturer's controller running another's heater usually means treating it as a dumb relay and losing the error codes, which is exactly the information you want at 9pm when the spa won't fire. We retrofit automation onto older pads far more often than we install it on new builds. Most accept it without drama, provided the pump is variable-speed and there's room on the manifold for valve actuators. The part that trips people up isn't the controller, it's the wifi. Your equipment pad is in the far corner of the yard behind a brick wall, and roughly half the calls that start with the app not working are signal, not electronics. We check the signal at the pad before we sell you anything and run an access point or a hardwired link where it's needed. Actuators are the one part that genuinely wears out. They are small gearmotors and they give up eventually, which is a cheap part and a twenty-minute swap. Where automation isn't worth it: single-speed pump, no heater, no features. There's nothing to automate. Put that money into a variable-speed pump first, add an inexpensive freeze guard, and come back to this later.
With 15+ years of experience, our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — gunite and shotcrete shells, one-piece fiberglass pool shells, PebbleTec and polished quartz interiors, glass mosaic and large-format porcelain tile, travertine coping and decking, variable-speed pumps — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Irving and nearby communities including Coppell, Grapevine, Southlake, Colleyville.

Materials, equipment and how we do pool automation & controls
The difference between pool automation & controls that lasts and pool automation & controls that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with gunite and shotcrete shells, one-piece fiberglass pool shells, PebbleTec and polished quartz interiors, glass mosaic and large-format porcelain tile, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Irving job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of pool work in the Las Colinas and mid-cities area means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
