Pool Automation Systems in Dubai (Smart Pools)

Smarter Pools. Easier Maintenance. Better Water Quality.

At Skylark Pools, we design and install smart pool automation systems that make owning a swimming pool in Dubai easier, safer, and more efficient. Pool automation allows you to control filtration, water chemistry, temperature, lighting, and features through a centralized system—often from your smartphone.

Designed specifically for Dubai’s climate and villa requirements, our automation solutions reduce manual work, lower operating costs, and improve long-term pool performance.


What Is Pool Automation?

Pool automation is an integrated control system that manages multiple pool functions automatically instead of manual operation.

A smart pool system can control:

  • Filtration cycles

  • Chemical dosing (chlorine / pH)

  • Pool lighting

  • Heating and cooling systems

  • Water features and pumps

  • Timers and safety shut-offs

Automation ensures your pool operates at optimal settings throughout the year, even during Dubai’s extreme summer conditions.


Why Pool Automation Is Important in Dubai

Dubai’s environment places unique demands on swimming pools:

  • High temperatures

  • Faster chemical consumption

  • Increased algae growth risk

  • Higher evaporation rates

  • Continuous filtration requirements

Smart pool automation helps:
✔ Maintain stable water chemistry
✔ Reduce over-chlorination and wastage
✔ Optimize filtration hours
✔ Lower electricity and chemical costs
✔ Prevent green water and equipment stress
