Introducing The Attendant – smart pool automation configured specifically for Latham fiberglass pools bringing the ultimate convenience and efficiency to pool owners

LATHAM, N.Y., July 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Latham Group, Inc. (“Latham” or “the Company”) (Nasdaq: SWIM), the largest designer, manufacturer, and marketer of in-ground residential swimming pools in North America, Australia, and New Zealand, announces the launch of The Attendant, an automation system for inground, Latham fiberglass pools, in partnership with Poolside Tech, a leader in smart pool technology.

With record breaking temperatures gripping the country this summer, more and more consumers are considering building an inground pool. Caring for a pool doesn’t have to be confusing or expensive with The Attendant – a cloud-based system that gives homeowners complete control from their smartphone, to automatically ensure the optimal temperature and water chemistry of their Latham pool.

The Attendant is the only automated system that uses a pool’s historical performance data along with current and upcoming weather conditions to activate heating, chilling and solar systems to set the perfect water temp at the right time. This automation greatly reduces unnecessary temperature fluctuations and can help save energy and money.

The Attendant is also the only pool automation system that automatically doses the correct chemical combinations, taking out the guesswork for consumers. Proper chemistry management of your pool can ensure its peak performance. And for even greater convenience, The Attendant will also seamlessly connect to any manufacturer’s equipment used to power your Latham pool like pumps, motors, filters etc.

“We are excited to partner with Poolside Tech to bring The Attendant to the entire range of Latham fiberglass pools,” said Scott Rajeski, President and CEO of Latham. “This smart pool automation technology brings the pool industry into the digital age and helps to drive Latham’s mission of becoming the center of your backyard lifestyle by improving pool ownership for our consumers.”

The Attendant also boasts additional features that enhance homeowners’ backyard lifestyle like syncing to a Spotify playlist and setting lighting color and intensity to create the perfect mood for backyard entertaining. And for rental owners or families with kids, there are special modes to control pool access and functions to avoid over or misuse.

“At Poolside Tech, our guiding philosophy is to help make pool ownership a delightful experience for families,” said CEO of Poolside Tech, Bob Doan. “Working together with Latham, we are thrilled to deliver more fun, fewer chores, and significant savings to our customers.”

And because The Attendant is the latest in pool automation technology, costly upgrades won’t be needed.

The Attendant can be purchased directly through independent Latham-authorized pool builders and can also be added to existing Latham fiberglass pools.

Pentair Expands Step Into Swim Partnership

Published

on

At Pentair Pool, safety isn’t a box we check. It’s a pillar of who we are and how we show up for the communities we serve. 

Water brings people together. It fuels connection, wellness, and unforgettable moments with family and friends. But those moments can only happen when safety comes first. That belief is what continues to drive our partnership with Step Into Swim, and why, for the third year in a row, Pentair Pool is proud to invest in expanding access to lifesaving swim education. 

Safety Starts With Education In and Out of the Water

Learning to swim is more than a skill; it’s a foundation for confidence, independence, and long-term safety. Step Into Swim, an initiative of the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance (PHTA), focuses on removing barriers to swim education, helping children build essential water safety skills early. For Pentair Pool, this partnership aligns directly with our broader mission to help people safely and sustainably enjoy water. We believe that the safest pool experience doesn’t start with equipment alone… It starts with education, awareness, and access.

“Everyone’s journey should start with a safe introduction to the water,” says Greg Claffey, President of Pentair Pool, who serves on the PHTA Board of Directors. “This partnership lets us give back to our communities in a meaningful way — by supporting local families through helping future swimmers learn the skills that keep them safe in and around the water.”

Turning Commitment Into Action

This year, Pentair Pool committed $100,000 as a Diamond Level  sponsor to further support Step Into Swim’s mission. That investment helps fund swim lessons for thousands of children, expanding access to programs that teach foundational water safety skills — especially in communities where opportunities to learn to swim may otherwise be limited. 

Our involvement with Step Into Swim is one part of a much larger, long-standing commitment. For more than a decade, Pentair Pool has supported National Water Safety Month, using our platform to elevate awareness around drowning prevention and safe pool practices. 

Together, these efforts reinforce a simple truth: awareness saves lives, but education sustains them.

Why Training Matters at Every Level

Advancing water safety doesn’t stop with swim lessons. It also depends on knowledgeable, well-trained pool professionals who design, install, and maintain aquatic environments every day. That’s why Pentair Pool invests heavily in professional education and training, equipping pool pros with the expertise they need to help create safer pool experiences for homeowners, facilities, and communities. Through our robust professional support resources like Pentair Pool University and on-demand webinars, Pentair provides ongoing education, technical guidance, and hands-on learning to reinforce best practices across the industry. 

Our goal is to ensure that safety knowledge evolves alongside technology, standards, and real-world application. When pool professionals are confident and informed, everyone benefits.

Building a Safer Future Together

Partnerships like Step Into Swim matter because they reflect a shared responsibility. Manufacturers, pool professionals, parents, educators, and community leaders all play a role in improving water safety outcomes.

By investing in swim education, supporting professional training, and consistently advocating for safety awareness, Pentair Pool is helping to create a future where water is something everyone can safely and sustainably enjoy.

We’re proud to stand alongside Step Into Swim and the broader pool and spa industry in advancing safety education one lesson, one professional, and one community at a time.
