* Implement time-of-day auto-fill to reduce the frequency at which the pool is filled during the day.  The club is not billed at a time-of-day rate, but as "good citizens" it is ideal to fill during low-demand periods to help reduce water bills for all city residents.

* Add a float switch as a failsafe means for detecting over-fill.  In the event that the depth sensor fails.

* Add variable frequency drive (VFD) control for the main pump motor, when and if implemented.
* Add [[Pool Main Pump Motor#Variable Frequency Drive|variable frequency drive]] control for the main pump motor, when and if implemented.
 
* Add [[Surge Tank#Motorized Actuator|motorized actuator]] control for a surge tank modulating drain valve, when and if implemented.
=== Surge Tank Modulating Valve ===
 
If the budget permits, a spring-return modulating valve will be installed on the drain return into the surge tank.  This will allow consistent level control via water level feedback.  This will restore intended surge tank functionality (maintaining the proper surge tank level regardless of pool level).
