I bought my house last year and the pool system is old and very basic. We had a heat pump installed and the single speed water pump broke immediately (probably a coincidence).
So, I'm going all-in and want to have a fully automated system installed. I do a lot of DIY stuff around the house but I want a professional install for this so I can get it done quickly and correctly. I'm looking for recommendations on installers between West Palm Beach and Boca Raton.
Here's a quick list of notes, wants and questions.

Here's a quick list of notes, wants and questions.
Wants:
- Above all, I want a company who is competent and isn't going to cut corners and just to the minimum. I want a solid install with good design decisions being made. Yes, if I did research for a month I could probably do it myself, but just don't want to spend my time doing that.
- Potentially two pumps. One for the spa and one for the pool. For whatever reason, the heat pump seems to have severely limited the strength of the primary pump when fully diverted to the spa. Before the heat pump, the spa jets were almost too much and after they were a dribble. I assume I just need a separate pump if I want strong jets.
- Fully controllable via an app and scheduling. I don't want to have to train my wife on the exact positions to turn valves for different scenarios. We may also rent out our house when we go on vacations and I want to be able to remotely control everything.
- Heat pump control
- A SWG. I'd be interested to hear people's opinions on this but my pool just doesn't seem to need it. Even in the middle of summer, my pool is sparkling clean using just one chlorine tablet every 10 days and I'm concerned about the negatives of salt water.
