Below are tips and resources from PoolFYI about choosing swimming pool equipment and accessories. When in doubt, consult with your local pool professional.

• Automation and Control Systems
  Automation and control systems are all the hardware, software, sensors, and other devices that make it easier and more economical to keep a pool or spa operating at peak performance.
• Automatic Pool Cleaners
  One of the best time-saving investments you can make for your pool is an automatic cleaner. They do the job thoroughly and effortlessly, giving you more time to enjoy your pool.
• Filters
  Filters keep your pool sparkling clear and inviting by removing impurities such as dirt, leaves, grass, hair, body oils, sunscreen, and even many bacteria from the water.
• Heaters and Heat Pumps
  You can extend your swimming season and add to your comfort in the water by selecting the right heater for your pool. Modern heaters are far more energy-efficient than ever.
• Lighting
  Pool lighting has become much more than the standard white nighttime light in the deep end.  Pool, spa, and landscape lighting system options can turn pleasant poolside evenings into magical nights.
• Maintenance and Safety Equipment
  Routine pool maintenance will help you keep your pool looking clean, sparkling, and inviting day after day.
• Pumps
  Pumps are the heart of any pool’s circulation system. Primary pumps keep water moving through filters, heaters, skimmers, and water features.
• Water Features, Waterfalls, Laminars and Deck Jets
  Water features add movement, elegance, and fun to pool settings. The sights and sounds of moving water can transform an ordinary poolscape into a magical environment.
• Sanitizers and Chlorine/Bromine Feeders
  

  Keeping pool water safe and sanitary is the job of sanitizers. This task can be managed by automatic equipment that lets you minimize chemical handling.
