New Orleans Pool Builders provides professional pool automation & smart controls in New Orleans, LA for residential and commercial properties across Greater New Orleans and the Northshore. Pool automation in New Orleans replaces the mechanical timer that loses an hour every month with a controller you run from your phone, and on a short-term rental property it is close to essential. We install new systems, retrofit controls onto existing pads, program the schedules with you, and set up remote alerts so a failure becomes a text message rather than a green pool and a bad review. A modern control system ties the variable-speed pump, heater, salt cell, valve actuators, LED lights, cleaner booster pump, and any water features into one panel and one app. The daily wins are obvious: heat the spa on the drive home, run the pump slow and long for efficient filtration and step it up for the cleaner cycle, bring the lights up at sunset, and get an alert when the pump stops drawing current. That last one is the feature that pays for the system, because in this climate a pump that quits on Friday is an algae bloom by Monday. Chemical automation is the layer that matters most in a humid subtropical market. An ORP and pH controller measures continuously and doses to hold a target rather than letting the water sawtooth between over-chlorinated and cloudy across a week. In New Orleans, where an afternoon thunderstorm can dump two inches into the pool in an hour and dilute everything you added that morning, a system that responds automatically is a different standard of water entirely. It also protects the plaster and the heat exchanger from sustained low pH. For short-term rental owners and property managers running pools across the metro, remote monitoring is the whole point: you can see the state of a pool in Bywater from an office in Metairie and dispatch before a guest complains. Retrofits are most of our automation work, and not every pad deserves one. If the pump is a twenty-year-old single-speed unit and the heater predates electronic ignition, automation is lipstick on a system that needs replacing, and we will say so before selling you a panel. We also replace failed actuators, control boards, relays, flow switches, and drifting temperature sensors.
With 15+ years of experience, our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — gunite and shotcrete construction, hydrostatic relief valves for a high water table, PebbleTec and quartz interior finishes, travertine and brick coping with glass waterline tile, variable-speed pumps and cartridge or DE filtration, saltwater chlorination — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve New Orleans and nearby communities including Metairie, Kenner, Gretna, Harvey.

Materials, equipment and how we do pool automation & smart controls
The difference between pool automation & smart controls that lasts and pool automation & smart 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 construction, hydrostatic relief valves for a high water table, PebbleTec and quartz interior finishes, travertine and brick coping with glass waterline 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 New Orleans 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 Greater New Orleans and the Northshore means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
