Pool Equipment & Automation
Swimming pool circulation, filtration, sanitization, heating and automation guides — how the complete system works and how to size and specify each component.
Pool equipment works as one hydraulic and control system: skimmers and drains feed a pump, which drives water through filtration, heating and sanitization before returning it to the pool. These guides explain each stage and how the components must be sized together.
Read the system overview first, then pump sizing and filter types compared. The equipment package checklist is the document you send with drawings.
Hot, dusty and high-ambient sites need extra derating — see equipment for hot climates. For the room that houses the package, use equipment room design.
