How it works
Three steps to passive income and reduced carbon emissions
PoolFlex handles everything. Your pool stays clean.
Connect in 10 minutes
We remotely pair with your existing pool pump controller. We support all three major brands: Pentair, Hayward, and Fluidra.
Parcipate in Demand Response events and optimize ToU usage
Our algorithm shifts your pump runtime to off-peak hours, avoiding expensive time-of-use rates and responding to grid demand events — automatically, every day.
You get the check
You not only generate savings, but actual real cash from grid flexibility events. Your pool still runs its full cycle at optimal hours — you just get paid for the flex.
Utilities pay PoolFlex to manage pools
Two ways you win
Your pump. Your money.
Demand response income
Energy utilities pay a premium to homes or businesses that can reduce or shift load during demand events. Your pool pump is one of the largest energy loads in your home or business — and with PoolFlex, you earn cash every time the grid calls on it.

Time of Use Savings
Energy utilities charge 2–3× more during peak hours (4–9 PM). PoolFlex automatically runs your pump during cheaper overnight or morning windows, cutting your electricity bill without you lifting a finger.
