Two Hot New Products You’ll See Poolside This Summer
As summer approaches, the anticipation for poolside relaxation and enjoyment continues to grow. We’re as excited about the upcoming swim season ahead as we are about two hot new products we recently had the chance to check out at the PSP Deck Expo in Las Vegas. Tenjam, a relative newcomer to the pool furniture space, unveiled two exciting new furniture products that promise to elevate the swimming pool experience.
The company based in central Minnesota, specializes in rotomolded, rotationally molded furniture. Since its inception back in 2013, Tenjam has made a significant impact in the outdoor education furniture industry. In 2020, the firm expanded its horizons with the launch of its in-pool furniture series, which has been a hit with consumers and professionals alike.
Mike Collins, President of Tenjam shared insights into the success, stating, “We’ve been just crushing it and coming out with lots of new products. Seems like every few months we’ve got another new product we’re launching.”
One of the standouts in their line has undoubtedly been their Shayz lounger, the flagship product in their Splash series line. “Shayz is by far our hottest product,” said Collins, “we saw almost 500% growth in the Splash series product line thanks to Shayz last year.” The success of their rotomolded pool lounger has laid the foundation for Tenjam’s continued innovation in poolside furniture.
Woosah Chair: Unveiling Comfort and Style:
One of the products that stole the spotlight at this year’s PSP Deck Expo was Tenjam’s Woosah chair which boasts a combination of ergonomic contouring and a slight bounce designed into the base, providing unparalleled comfort.
Mike Collins emphasized the meticulous design process, stating, “When we designed Woosah, we spent so much time on just getting the profile of that seat down. When we brought it to market, it was an instant hit but we couldn’t put it into the pool because it had a stainless steel base. Finally, we developed a Woosah chair that has a plastic base.”
The seat is constructed with polyethylene material for supreme impact strength and low maintenance. The stackable chairs thus far have been a hit with hotels and resorts said Collins, who predicts the product is bound to resonate just as well with residential pool owners.
“We’re definitely price competitive,” said Collins, “and the cool thing about the Woosah chair, is you can use it as your regular patio Adirondack chair, but also put it in the pool when you want to relax in the water. That eliminates the need to have a bunch of extra chairs just sitting around.”
Infinity Sun Shelf: Elevating Your Pool Oasis
The second star of the show for Tenjam was its new Infinity Freestanding Sun Shelf, a patent-pending freestanding sun shelf that promises to transform your poolside oasis.
“Our Sales Manager, John Griffard, is always coming up with crazy ideas,” said Collins, “he has a pool that’s like 50 years old and wanted to add a sun shelf to it.” The quotes he received on adding on a sun shelf started at around $25,000, which prompted the two to think of a product they could produce at a more attractive price point.
The advent of the Infinity Sun Shelf provides a hassle-free solution for adding a sun shelf to an existing swimming pool. Unlike traditional methods that involve tearing up the yard and pool deck, Infinity can be delivered, installed, and ready for use the very same day. The only requirement is adding a new plumbing line to the back of the unit.
The Infinity Sun Shelf features an 80″ wide waterfall curtain, adding both visual appeal and the soothing sound of flowing water to your poolside experience. With a water depth of up to 8 inches, it accommodates various in-pool furniture brands, including Tenjam’s loungers and chairs.
Collins shared the collaboration that led to the development of Infinity, stating, “A couple of years ago, we met a group of guys from B Squared Pools. We partnered with them to actually make a freestanding sun shelf that you could just simply place at the side of your existing pool and then run a water line to it. Basically, that gives you a freestanding sun shelf at an installed price point of like $10,000 or less.”
“We already have a bunch of preorders on the sun shelf,” said Collins, “we’re going to bring it to the Atlantic City show and that’s going to help get more eyeballs on it. I think once people see just how easy it is to set up, we’ll see sales continue to increase. Right now it’s all about exposure.”
Pool owners have every reason to be excited about the Woosah Chair and Infinity Sun Shelf, as these two innovative products bring a fresh wave of comfort, style, and transformative features to enhance the poolside experience. The two products are priced attractively to make adding pool furniture easier and more affordable than ever before.

A new innovation in pool maintenance is changing how technicians collect water samples for testing. The BackSaver2000, a newly developed water collection device, is designed to improve both sampling accuracy and workplace safety for pool professionals.
Traditionally, pool technicians collect water samples by kneeling or bending over the pool edge with a cup, a method that can lead to repeated strain on the back and knees. The BackSaver2000 eliminates this issue by allowing technicians to collect water easily while standing, significantly reducing the physical stress associated with the outdated conventional method.
Beyond ergonomics, the BackSaver2000 was scientifically tested to ensure the integrity of water samples. Results show that the device collects equal to or less surface water contamination compared to traditional collection methods, helping ensure more reliable water quality testing.
Designed specifically for the demands of the pool service industry, the BackSaver2000 combines a telescoping handle with a collapsible collection cup to make sampling faster, safer, and more efficient. By reducing repetitive strain injuries, companies can also benefit from fewer work-related injuries and potentially lower workers’ compensation claims.
The BackSaver2000 is poised to become an essential tool for pool technicians, offering a smarter and healthier way to collect water samples while maintaining testing accuracy.

Beatbot has been gaining serious traction in the robotic pool cleaner space with its AquaSense and Sora lines, establishing itself as a legitimate contender in a category long dominated by legacy brands. Now, the company is making a calculated move into robotic pool skimmers with the launch of the iSkim and iSkim Ultra, bringing a layered approach to the category and offering two distinct tiers that target very different types of pool owners.
Why Robotic Skimmers Are Gaining Momentum
Surface debris has always been one of the most persistent pain points in pool maintenance. Leaves, pollen, bugs, grass clippings, and fine dust collect on the surface long before they ever make it to the floor. Once they sink, they’re harder to remove, placing more strain on filtration systems and robotic cleaners.
Robotic skimmers aim to solve that problem at the source—continuously patrolling the waterline and removing debris before it becomes a bigger issue. Solar-powered designs have made this category even more appealing, allowing for extended runtimes with minimal user intervention.
That’s the opportunity Beatbot is leaning into.
Beatbot iSkim: Built for Continuous Surface Cleaning
The iSkim is positioned as the more accessible entry point into Beatbot’s skimmer lineup, but it still brings a solid feature set designed for real-world pool conditions.
At its core is a large 9-liter debris basket, giving it the capacity to handle significant surface load without constant emptying. That matters in environments where leaves and organic debris are a daily occurrence. The unit is designed for continuous operation, powered by a solar panel and backed by a 10,000mAh battery, with manufacturer claims of up to 28 hours of runtime without sunlight.
From a mechanical standpoint, the iSkim uses a three-motor system, including dual motor propulsion. That means it’s actively driving itself across the pool surface using two independent propulsion motors, allowing it to steer and reposition rather than simply drifting. Navigation is handled through a combination of basic sensors and random movement with smart rerouting.
It also includes features that are quickly becoming standard in the category: app integration, scheduled cleaning, smart automatic parking, one-click app parking, and an anti-spill basket design with one-click debris release.
Where the iSkim keeps things simple is in its cleaning approach. It focuses on broad surface coverage rather than precision navigation, making it a strong fit for homeowners who want a set-it-and-forget-it solution that runs long and handles the bulk of surface debris without complication.
- Less Emptying, More Pool Time. Extra-large 9L pool skimmer filter basket, larger than standard skimmers with a 29×270mm wide inlet that captures all debris, from fine particles to large debris, for extended and uninterrupted cleaning with less maintenance.
- Engineered for Longer Cleaning Cycles. The 24W solar panel keeps the 10,000mAh battery charged, providing up to 28 hours of runtime even in no-light conditions, so your pool stays clean longer with fewer interruption, even on cloudy days.
- Full Surface Coverage: with 2 guided wheels, iSkim skimmer reaches walls and tight corrners for complete coverage, keeping your pool consistently clean with minimal effort. No missed spots on your pool surface.
- Saltwater-Safe & 3-Year Protection: Fully saltwater-safe (NaCl < 5000 ppm) and corrosion-resistant. Backed by 3-year protection, 30-day free returns, and 365-day availability, giving you long-term reliability and peace of mind for your premium pool investment.
- Smart Water-Surface parking: automatically returns and holds at the surface for 10 minutes after each cycle, plus one-tap app recall to the pool edge, making removal quick and easy. No heavy lifting or retrieval hassle.
Beatbot iSkim Ultra: A Step Into Smart Surface Care
The iSkim Ultra takes a very different approach. While it shares the same 9-liter basket and 10,000mAh battery platform, everything else about the unit pushes it into a higher tier.
This model is built around a seven-motor system and a 20-sensor array, dramatically increasing its ability to navigate, detect obstacles, and clean with intention rather than randomness. Instead of relying on passive coverage, the iSkim Ultra uses an S-path cleaning pattern, allowing it to systematically cover the pool surface.
One of the biggest hardware upgrades is the addition of dual-side brushes and an expanded wheel system, which improve its ability to reach edges and corners—areas where surface debris tends to accumulate but where many skimmers struggle.
The Ultra also introduces environmental awareness features, including water temperature detection, along with voice broadcast capabilities for system status updates. These additions reinforce its positioning as a connected, smart device rather than just a cleaning tool.
But the standout feature—and the one that truly separates it from the base model—is the integrated water clarification system. The iSkim Ultra can actively contribute to water quality by dispensing clarifying agents, helping improve water appearance while it performs surface cleaning. That moves it beyond simple debris removal and into a more holistic surface-care role.
Charging is also upgraded, with the Ultra supporting magnetic wireless charging in addition to solar and adapter-based charging.
- 【Unmatched 2-Year Full-Unit Coverage: Rest easy with an industry-leading protection plan that replaces the entire unit rather than requiring repairs—drastically reducing downtime so your pool stays consistently clean.
- 【Meet the iSkim Ultra – The First Intelligent Robotic Pool Skimmer Engineered for Superior Cleaning & Control】: This groundbreaking skimmer uses advanced smart-cleaning tech for pristine water via full surface coverage and powerful debris removal. Control navigation, speed, and schedules from your phone with real-time voice alerts.
- 【Intuitive App Control with Real-Time Voice Alerts】: Seamless app integration lets you adjust cleaning paths, boost speed, set schedules, and monitor water temp or progress remotely. One-tap auto-return simplifies docking, and OTA updates ensure peak performance—all with clear voice notifications.
- 【Precision Navigation & Intelligent Obstacle Avoidance】:Powered by a 120 MHz MCU, 20 precision sensors, and pioneering tri-ultrasonic technology, it delivers accurate scanning, optimized pathfinding, and exceptional stability in any pool environment.
- 【Next-Level Debris Collection & Full-Coverage Cleaning】:Innovative rotating dual-side brushes sweep debris inward to eliminate scatter, ensuring thorough edge and corner pickup. An extra-large front roller brush handles large debris while expanding coverage for efficient one-pass cleaning.
Where Beatbot Fits in the Market
The robotic skimmer category is no longer niche. Brands like Aiper, WYBOT, Dolphin, and Betta have already proven there’s demand for automated surface cleaning, especially in markets where debris load is high and homeowners want to reduce manual maintenance.
Beatbot’s entry stands out because it doesn’t just compete on price or basic functionality. Instead, it introduces a clearer segmentation within its own lineup.
The iSkim targets homeowners who want reliable, continuous surface cleaning with long runtime and minimal complexity. The iSkim Ultra targets a different buyer—someone looking for smarter navigation, better edge performance, and additional water care features.
That distinction matters, because one of the biggest challenges in this category has been bridging the gap between simple floating skimmers and truly intelligent systems.
The Bigger Picture for Pool Automation
What Beatbot is doing here mirrors a broader trend across the pool industry: moving toward specialized, connected devices that each handle a specific part of pool care.
Instead of relying on a single piece of equipment to do everything, homeowners are increasingly building out systems—one robot for floors and walls, another for surface cleaning, and potentially additional tools for water monitoring and treatment.
With the addition of iSkim and iSkim Ultra, Beatbot is positioning itself to be part of that ecosystem conversation, not just as a cleaner manufacturer but as a broader automation player.
Final Thoughts
The launch of iSkim and iSkim Ultra signals that Beatbot is serious about expanding beyond traditional robotic cleaners and into a more complete pool-care lineup.
The iSkim delivers what many pool owners are looking for: long runtime, large capacity, and consistent surface cleaning without added complexity. The iSkim Ultra, on the other hand, pushes the category forward with smarter navigation, improved edge performance, and integrated water clarification.
Together, they give Beatbot a foothold in one of the most active segments in pool automation—and set the stage for even more competition in the robotic skimmer space moving forward.
