Upgrading your pool doesn’t mean starting from scratch. With modern technology, it’s easier than ever to automate an existing pool, giving you full control over pumps, heaters, lights, spa jets, and even chemical dosing—all from your smartphone or tablet. In this guide, we’ll explain how it works, step by step, and why retrofitting your pool with automation is a smart investment.
Why Retrofit Your Pool with Automation?
Smart pool upgrades offer convenience, efficiency, and consistency. Some of the main benefits include:
- Full remote control: Manage all pool equipment from your phone.
- Energy efficiency: Schedule pumps and heaters for optimal performance.
- Better water quality: Automate chemical dosing and filtration.
- Expandable systems: Add lighting, spa jets, or in-floor cleaning with ease.
Using a Henden Control system, most existing pools can be upgraded without major rewiring or costly equipment replacements, making it the ideal solution for homeowners who want a modern, automated pool setup.
How to Automate an Existing Pool — Step by Step
Step 1: Check Your Power Supply
Ensure your equipment area has enough capacity to run the automation system. If you’re unsure, professional installers can assess your setup and provide a detailed quote.
Step 2: Professional Installation
A certified installer will connect your existing pumps, heaters, lights, and other equipment to the control unit. This ensures everything works perfectly, with both on-site and remote commissioning options available in Sydney, Central Coast, and Newcastle.

The Henden Control system is designed for simplicity. Existing equipment plugs directly into the unit—no complicated setup required. Expansion packs are available if you want to run more features like extra lights, spa jets, or in-floor cleaning systems.
