LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM — May 5, 2026 — Pentair Pool, a leader in smart, sustainable
pool solutions, today announced plans to release a technology integration with Pool Brain, a
premier software platform for swimming pool service and repair professionals, to strengthen
Pentair Pool’s connected equipment ecosystem and further advance Pentair’s vision for data-
driven service and automation for pool professionals. This future integration is designed to equip pool professionals with streamlined, all-in-one insights—enabling faster, more informed service for homeowners.

The long-anticipated integration will bring together Pentair Pool’s connected pool equipment, the largest installed based in the U.S., and automation technology from Pool Brain’s service
management platform to deliver critical insights before a technician ever arrives on site. With the technology integration, for the first time, service professionals will be able to gain a
consolidated, data-driven view of pool conditions through an all-in-one software solution—
helping them arrive informed, prepared, and confident.

“This future technology integration is designed to not only provide pool servicers with deeper
insight into our connected equipment but empower them to deliver superior service to pool
owners” said Greg Claffey, Senior Vice President and President, Pentair Pool. “Together with
Pool Brain this integration will provide insights that will help reduce truck rolls and increase
profitability for servicers while, most importantly, ensuring that pool owners are able to enjoy
more pool days with their friends and family.”

The expected release of the Pentair Pool–Pool Brain technology integration is designed to
support pool service teams with goals of:

• Automated visibility into equipment status and pool performance
• Smarter and simplified service planning that helps reduce truck rolls and diagnostic time
• Improved customer experiences through faster resolution, proactive issue prevention,
  and informed service calls
• Streamlined and focused technology consolidating platforms for more efficient workflows
• Digital access to product information and performance data—making Pentair Pool one of
  the first manufacturers to deliver the insights pros need, directly within the platforms they
  already use.

The collaboration reflects Pentair Pool’s broader vision to deliver connected, intelligent pool
solutions that help save time, build efficiencies, and grow servicer profitability in every stage of operating, servicing, and growing a pool business.

“Remote data monitoring is the future of the pool service industry and this ground breaking
integration with Pentair Pool marks a major step forward,” said Adam Beech, founder and CEO
of Pool Brain. “Pool Brain was built from day one with this future in mind and we’re thrilled to
now integrate with the most widely deployed connected pool equipment in the market. Service
companies will finally be able to connect the equipment on the pad to the software platform they already use to gain automated data visibility, even when not on property. This data, combined with Pool Brain’s alerts and automations create benefits that simply weren’t possible until now. It’s a huge win for both pool pros and pool owners.

Building on its legacy of industry-leading innovation, Pentair Pool is once again redefining how pools are managed and enjoyed. The expected rollout for the Pentair Pool technology
integration with Pool Brain is late summer 2026. Pool professionals can stay up to date on the
next steps for the Pentair Pool–Pool Brain technology integration by signing up to be the first to know how the game is changing in the pool industry, at Pentair-Pool Brain Integration.

LATHAM, N.Y. (May 1, 2026) – As families prepare to spend more time outside and in the water, Latham Group, Inc. [NASDAQ: SWIM] is encouraging homeowners to take simple, proactive steps to keep their backyards safe. In recognition of National Water Safety Month this May, the leading manufacturer of in-ground residential swimming pools is teaming up with Olympic and World Championship six-time gold medalist Bode Miller and his wife, Professional Beach Volleyball Champion, Morgan Miller to share essential pool safety reminders.

“Water safety is something that hits very close to home for me, which is why we’ve teamed up with Latham and Coverstar to help bring more attention to drowning prevention,” said Bode Miller. “After losing our daughter, my wife Morgan and I have made it our mission to share our story and help other families take simple, proactive steps that can truly save lives.”

“No parent ever thinks a tragedy will happen to them, but it can happen in seconds,” added Morgan Miller. “If sharing our story encourages even one family to take an extra precaution – whether that’s supervision, swim lessons or adding an automatic safety cover – it’s worth it. These small steps can truly save lives.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), drowning is the leading cause of death among children ages 1-4, with more than 4,000 unintentional drowning deaths in the U.S. every year.* Taking a few proactive measures can go a long way in helping families enjoy their pools with greater confidence.

“Creating spaces where families can relax and connect is at the heart of what we do, but those moments should always be supported by strong safety measures,” said Sean Gadd, President and CEO of Latham. “Our focus is on empowering homeowners with simple, effective solutions that help make pools safer.”

Following are five important pool safety reminders from the experts at Latham:

1. Keep Active Supervision a Priority. Always have a responsible adult watching when children are in or near the pool. Assign a dedicated “Water Watcher” and stay distraction-free – especially from phones.

2. Start Swim Lessons Early. Teaching kids to swim is one of the most effective ways to reduce risk. According to the National Institutes of Health, formal swim lessons can reduce the risk of drowning in children ages 1-4 by 88%.** The earlier kids build these skills, the better.

3. Add Layers of Protection with an Automatic Safety Cover. An automatic safety cover provides a strong, secure barrier over the pool when not in use. Made with ultra-durable material, these covers help prevent access to the water and offer added peace of mind. Coverstar automatic pool covers are designed with heavy-duty material that can support significant weight, creating a reliable layer of protection for families. A keyed safety switch is required for operation, adding an extra layer of protection.

“Just like any part of the home, pools should be designed with safety built-in from the start,” added Gadd. “Automatic covers are one of the most effective ways to add a reliable layer of protection while also helping homeowners maintain their pool.”

4. Set Clear Pool Safety Rules. Make sure everyone in the household understands basic safety rules, such as never swimming alone and entering the pool feet first.

5. Be Ready to Respond. Keep safety equipment like a life ring and first aid kit nearby and consider learning CPR so you’re prepared to respond in an emergency.

“With these precautions and tools in place, families can enjoy their pool time with greater confidence and peace of mind,” added Bode Miller.

Beyond safety, automatic covers can help minimize water loss, maintain a pool’s temperature – which can help save on electric bills – keep debris out of the pool and extend the swimming season in colder climates.
