Elevate the experience
Homeowners are demanding unique ways to enhance the entertaining experience past the home and into the backyard. Anyone who has visited Las Vegas or taken their family to EPCOT knows how impressive light shows look when synced to great music. The team at Poolside Tech is proud to introduce our latest crowd-pleasing feature, syncing your DMX pool and landscape lights to Spotify®. Traditionally, homeowners have been locked into buying legacy pool lights from the Big 3 manufacturers.

Light up my life!
Pool lights can possibly be one of the most frustrating experiences for a pool owner. The fact that you need to turn a switch on and off again over and over to change the light color or brightness is very outdated, to say the least. Modern lighting technology is everywhere in your home today, but could it be that it hasn’t extended to the pool pad? There is in fact a better technology out there that has been introduced to the pad over the last few years called digital multiplex or DMX for short. At a very high level, DMX lighting communicates over a data cable and uses an addressing system for…
Let’s Talk About Protection
What is Freeze Protection? Freeze protection in the pool and spa industry refers to measures taken to prevent damage to a pool plumbing system due to the expansion of water in the pipes and equipment. Freeze protection measures can take many different forms such as 24 hour a day pumping, pump and heat the water on a timer, cycle circulation throughout the day, etc. Basically, as long as water is circulating through all the pipes and the water temperature is above freezing, the plumbing system would be considered in freeze protection mode when the outdoor temperature is approaching the freezing mark. Why do you need it? If you live in a climate…
Stuck In The Middle With You
One of the limitations in the pool automation industry for as long as anyone can remember has been the one pump to one active feature rule. While not a hard rule, this basically means that pool automation systems are incapable of allowing a single pump to activate more than one water feature at a time. Of course you can do this manually by walking over to the pool pad and moving a valve manually, but it hasn’t been done with any automation system until now. The Attendant is proud to announce that our patented Valve in the Middle technology is now available! This groundbreaking technology allows you to activate two or more…
