Pool Troopers Partners With Pool Chlor

Tampa-Based Pool Service Company Partners with Fifth Company to Grow Across the Sunbelt Region

Phoenix, AZ – May 6, 2021: Pool Troopers has officially secured its fifth partnership of 2021 with Pool Chlor AZ (“Pool Chlor”). Pool Chlor is an iconic leader in the pool service industry and has been serving the Phoenix area since 1955. Pool Chlor took off over 65 years ago when the owners, a chemical engineer and a chemist, perfected the balance of chemical compounds used in pool treatment. 

Phoenix is a newer market for the Tampa-based pool service company. Through the partnership, Pool Troopers will expand their footprint and service more residential pools in the greater Phoenix area. Pool Troopers currently services the Florida, Texas, and Arizona markets and ranked #1 on the Top 50 List by Pool and Spa News for the last two consecutive years.

In October 2020, Pool Troopers partnered with Shoreline Equity Partners, to accelerate growth across the Sunbelt Region, including executing an aggressive acquisition strategy. Pool Troopers has developed proprietary industry-leading software which has allowed their service model to be scalable and irreplicable. Through its current footprint and recent partnerships, Pool Troopers has further established its position as one of the largest pool service companies in the United States.

Gary Crayton, Chief Executive Officer of Pool Troopers, said, “I have been working in the pool business for more than 30 years. There have been a lot of great leaders in our industry, and John is one of the greatest. He has given so much back to the pool industry in terms of sharing knowledge, best practices, and chemical treatment expertise. Through our partnership with Pool Chlor, I am excited to give backyard freedom to more pool owners in Phoenix. We are honored to partner with John and the entire Pool Chlor team.”

John Cardall, Owner of Pool Chlor, said “I have known Gary and the Pool Troopers team for years. As I approach retirement, I wanted to be sure that I left my customers and employees with a team that had experience in the pool industry and extensive knowledge about the chemical treatment process. Like us, Pool Troopers has been around since the 1950s and has seen all of the changes in our industry. I have loved serving the Phoenix area and could not be more excited to partner with Pool Troopers to continue our legacy.”

Dave Hahmann, President of Pool Troopers, said, “Pool Chlor’s commitment to having the backs of their customers and others in our industry aligns with our mission. Family first is the way we treat teammates, and we are excited to welcome the Pool Chlor team to the Pool Troopers Family!”

Pool Troopers is on a mission to bring freedom to all pool owners and pool company owners. Whether pool company owners are looking to accelerate growth or plan for retirement, Pool Troopers has been helping companies across the US achieve their goals and continue their legacies.

CCEI Introduces New Antea VS: Smart Control For Variable Speed Pumps

Published

on

CCEI-Antea VS + phone app

CCEI is pleased to introduce the new Antea VS– a new innovation that allows management of variable speed pumps by seamlessly integrating them into CCEI Vigipool ecosystem.  This ultra-compact antenna can be installed effortlessly on a wide range of pumps, delivering advanced connectivity and smart control at your fingertips with the Vigipool app. 

 With the Antea VS pool professionals can control and configure the pump room from anywhere.  Simply plug the antenna into a 12-15 VAC (50-60 Hz) outlet, then connect to the pump and within minutes you have full control on your smartphone. The system automatically adjusts pump room speed based on real-time environmental conditions—such as water temperature and pool cover status—while always giving users the freedom to manually select preferred pump speeds at any time.  

To unlock its full potential, the Antea VS is engineered to work alongside the Tild VP automation system which governs the pump’s electrical supply and serves as the backbone of the pump room. Together they control power, filtration, lighting and variable speed pumps using the Vigipool app.
