YORKTOWN, VA - May 26, 2026 - Fox Pools LLC, a licensed pool service and installation company based in Yorktown, Virginia, has completed a full equipment overhaul for a York County homeowner with an in-ground pool and spillover spa.
The aging system, which includes three single-speed pumps, two 600-pound sand filters, a millivolt gas heater, and manual chlorination, was replaced entirely with modern, energy-efficient alternatives.
The completed upgrade included three Hayward TriStar VS 2.7 HP variable-speed pumps, a Hayward AQRS340 OmniLogic salt chlorination system, a 140,000 BTU heat/cool heat pump, two Hayward cartridge filters, and an OmniLogic WiFi automation hub with five automatic actuator valves.
Together, these upgrades transformed the homeowner’s pool equipment pad from a manual, aging system into a coordinated setup with smartphone-enabled automation. The new system allows the homeowner to manage pumps, heaters, valves, and sanitation functions through connected controls while reducing reliance on older, less efficient equipment.
Expected Project Improvements
Fox Pools said the project reflects its whole-system approach to pool modernization. Rather than replacing one component at a time, the company evaluates pumps, filters, heaters, sanitation systems, valves, automation, water quality, and long-term reliability together.
The upgraded system is expected to support:
-
Pump energy cost reduction: Variable-speed pumps may reduce pump-related energy use by 50% to 90% compared with traditional single-speed pumps.
-
Improved heating efficiency: The heat/cool heat pump is expected to provide more efficient electric heating and cooling compared with the previous gas heater.
-
Reduced chemical handling: The automated salt chlorination system supports more consistent sanitation and may help reduce manual chemical use.
-
Eliminated backwashing: The new cartridge filters remove the need for backwashing, helping eliminate water waste associated with the previous sand filter system.
-
Improved operational convenience: The OmniLogic WiFi automation system allows the homeowner to control pumps, heaters, valves, sanitation, and other pool and spa functions from a smartphone.
