Pentair’s Mobile App for Pool Professionals Named “Smart Pool Category Winner” at Piscine Global Expo

Lyon, FRANCE– November 15, 2018 – Pentair’s Mobile App for pool professionals, the Partners Incentive Program (PIP) Scanner, was named “Smart Pool Category Winner” of the Pool Innovation Trophies at Piscine Global Expo, the International pool industry’s largest event.

Pentair’s smart, sustainable water solutions are designed to help pool owners enjoy their pool and spa with connected, automated controls, improve the experience and quality of the water, and move water with improved efficiency.

“We’re excited to be recognized as the ‘Smart Pool Category Winner’ at Piscine Global,” said Jerome Pedretti, Senior Vice President, Pentair Aquatic Systems. “We created the PIP Scanner to help pool professionals grow their business and deliver a more seamless experience to pool owners by providing valuable information right at their fingertips.”

Available to pool professionals in Europe, the PIP Scanner was designed to enhance the selling and servicing of Pentair’s TradeGrade line of products while also simplifying pool professional’s daily activities. A simple scan of the PIP code on the packaging or unit brings the product to life through the augmented reality interface, providing instantaneous access to product features and benefits, videos, manuals and more.

The PIP Scanner offers a variety of benefits for the pool professional, whether a pool installer needs assistance while out on the job or a retailer would like to enhance its in-store presence. The PIP Scanner’s features also include:

• Troubleshooting tips, how-to videos, and installation and servicing information to provide on-the-job technical assistance
• Promotional videos, brochures and other special offers to enrich Pentair’s retail presence

Pool professionals who are also members of the Pentair Partners Incentive Program (PIP) have special access to bonus features, including:

• Warranty extension
• Co-branded warranty certificate for consumers
• Automatic PIP reward point management
