Professional Pool Service
Nevergreen Pools installs and programs pool automation systems in Folsom, CA, from new control panels to full retrofits on older equipment pads.
Nevergreen Pools installs and services pool automation & control in Folsom, including Pentair IntelliCenter and EasyTouch systems, Hayward OmniLogic and OmniHub, and Jandy iAquaLink, covering new equipment pads and retrofits to older pads that are still running on timers and manual valves.
A pool running on a mechanical time clock burns electricity on a fixed schedule whether the water needs it or not, and every trip out to adjust a schedule by hand or reset a stuck valve costs a service call and a missed swim day for something that should take thirty seconds from a phone. Call us if you are still walking to the pad to flip breakers or turn valves by hand, if the pump runs at one speed around the clock instead of ramping up and down with demand, if the heater will not hold a set temperature without someone checking it, if the app has stopped talking to the equipment, if the chlorinator keeps over or under producing because nothing is reading pH or ORP automatically, if a remote or control panel is dead or unresponsive, or if you are pricing out a retrofit on an older pad that still runs on timers.

The first stop is the equipment pad. We check what is already there, a single-speed pump and an aging sand or DE filter on older pads, or a variable-speed pump, cartridge filter, and salt cell on newer ones, and whether the existing panel and wiring can support a control system or need to be replaced first. On a retrofit we run new low-voltage communication wiring from the control panel out to the pump, heater, valves, lights, and any pH or ORP sensors, since most control systems need their own wiring separate from the pool's line voltage circuits. We install the control panel, usually a Pentair IntelliCenter or EasyTouch, a Hayward OmniLogic or OmniHub, or a Jandy iAquaLink depending on what is already in place or what the homeowner prefers, and wire in the pump, heater, lights, and any valve actuators.
From there we program the schedules: filtration run times set to the pump's variable speeds rather than one fixed speed, heater set points, lighting schedules, and valve positions for a spa or water feature if the pool has one. Folsom's city water runs soft with low calcium and low alkalinity, so pH drifts fast and unbalanced water will etch plaster and scale a heat exchanger if it is not corrected. On pools with pH or ORP sensing we calibrate those probes against a manual test kit and set the controller's dosing limits so it corrects in small, metered amounts instead of overshooting and swinging back. We also bring calcium hardness and alkalinity into range as part of start-up so the automated chlorine production is not fighting water that is already off. The last step is commissioning: running through every scheduled mode in front of the homeowner, pairing the app, and walking through manual overrides, so the system is usable before we leave rather than something left for a manual.
Once the system is commissioned, the pump ramps down to a low filtration speed overnight and back up during the day instead of running flat out on one setting, the heater holds its set point without anyone adjusting it by hand, and the app shows real-time pH, ORP, or salt output instead of a weekly guess. That typically shows up as a lower electric bill within the first month, since a variable-speed pump on a programmed schedule uses a fraction of what a single-speed pump pulls running continuously. You can change a schedule, bump the heater before guests arrive, or turn the pool lights on from your phone without a trip to the pad.
Leaving an old system in place costs more the longer it runs. A single-speed pump on a mechanical timer keeps pulling full power whether the pool needs filtration or not, and a control panel or sensor that is failing intermittently tends to fail completely, usually in peak season when the pool is used every day from May through October. Unbalanced water that is not being corrected automatically keeps etching plaster and scaling the heat exchanger in the background, and that damage does not show up until it is already done. Call to get a technician out to look at your pad, or book your first visit online and we will start with a walk of your existing equipment.
