Aiper Supports Water.org to Help 4,000 People In Need Gain Access to Safe Water or Sanitation

ATLANTA, July 29, 2025  – Aiper, the global pioneer of cordless robotic pool cleaning technology and a leader in smart yard product solutions, today announced its support for Water.org to help families around the world gain access to safe water or sanitation. Through its donation to Water.org, Aiper is helping 4,000 people in need gain access to safe water and transform their lives.

The global water crisis continues to be one of the most pressing humanitarian challenges, affecting billions of people and shaping daily life in profound ways:

  1. 2.2 billion people lack access to safe water
  2. 3.5 billion people live without a safe toilet
  3. Every two minutes, a child dies from a water or sanitation-related disease
  4. Women and girls spend 200 million hours daily collecting water – time that could be spent in school or earning an income

Amid these staggering challenges, organizations like Water.org are driving meaningful, lasting change. Water.org is an international nonprofit organization that has positively transformed more than 79 million lives around the world with access to safe water or sanitation. Founded by Gary White and Matt Damon, Water.org pioneers market-driven financial solutions to the global water crisis – breaking down barriers to give women hope, children health, and families a bright future.

“Today billions of people still live without access to safe water, a reality that demands urgent action,” said Richard Wang, Founder and CEO of Aiper. “At Aiper, we’re committed to making a difference both through our support of Water.org and other charitable organizations, as well as by designing products that help our customers use water more sustainably. We’re proud that our donation will help Water.org provide access to safe water for people in need around the world.”

Aiper’s donation to Water.org will help transform the lives of people living in poverty by improving access to safe water thus unlocking better health, education, economic opportunity, and empowerment. A commitment that flows beyond the pool and to a more sustainable future, Aiper’s donation underscores the brand’s pledge to help people across the globe, especially in the following areas: 

Water Equity & Access – Partnering with organizations like Water.org, Aiper will continue to help expand access to safe water, empowering families and communities with the security and resources they deserve.

Sustainable Innovation – From clean homes to a cleaner planet, Aiper will prioritize smart designs and cordless cleaning solutions that minimize energy use and reduce water waste – building a smarter, greener future.

Community Wellbeing – From Aiper’s teams to the neighborhoods it serves, Aiper supports wellness, education, and inclusive opportunities that uplift people where they live and work.

“Thanks to Aiper’s support, we’re helping families gain access to safe water at home and the health, hope and opportunity that flow from it,” said Melanie Mendrys, Global Director of Brand and Marketing at Water.org. “This support will help change the lives of 4,000 people in need with access to safe water or sanitation solutions that last.”

The missions of Aiper and Water.org align around the shared goal of advancing water access and conservation. Just as Water.org helps people gain access to safe water to unlock opportunity, Aiper develops innovative products that help consumers use water more efficiently. From cordless robotic pool cleaners that reduce the need for frequent backwashing and water replacement by keeping pools cleaner for longer, to the new IrriSense smart irrigation system that uses real-time weather monitoring to water lawns only when it’s needed – Aiper’s innovations are designed to help people use water more sustainably.

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-

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

Latham Group, Bode Miller Advocate for Family Pool Safety

Published

on

Latham-olympic-winner-bode-miller-pool-safety

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.
