- Creating Community is the Heartbeat of Pentair Pool
With firm roots in America’s backyards, “Pentair Pride” dives beyond the products they manufacture
Ask any pool pro what separates a good build from a great one, and they’ll likely tell you the same thing: it’s not just the pool, it’s the people who brought it to life. Craftsmanship, integrity, and even a bit of old-fashioned elbow grease can take a project to the next level. And at Pentair Pool, we believe that great pools — and great relationships — start close to home.
Local Innovation and Community Growth
Approximately 75% of Pentair Pool finished goods are assembled right here in the U.S.* by a network of local experts who take pride in trust, quality, and longevity. For pool professionals who have built their businesses on trust and long-term relationships, proximity to the communities across the U.S. matters. That’s why Pentair Pool takes pride in firmly establishing roots with manufacturing and office facilities that span seven states across the U.S., enriching local communities with employment and community outreach opportunities.
"We’re not just manufacturing equipment for the pool pad," said Greg Claffey, President and Chief Revenue Officer at Pentair Pool. "We’re investing in our neighbors and communities. We've always been inspired by bringing backyards to life, so being active in our own backyards is especially important to us.” More than 87% of Pentair Pool’s workforce is based right here in the United States** to help bring that commitment to craftsmanship and community to life.
That commitment to community includes thousands of dedicated local partners, too. Across our expanded network, including dedicated distributors and Pentair Partners Incentive Program dealers, more than 29,000 professionals work together to bring innovation, quality, and reliability to backyards across the country. This collective strength ensures that every product we create reaches customers with the care and expertise they deserve, strengthening the connections that make our industry thrive.
Philanthropy with a focus on safety
Our local-centric approach doesn't stop with manufacturing and distribution. In 2024, Pentair and the Pentair Foundation donated $350,000 to organizations promoting swim safety and making aquatics activities more accessible for all. As the Official Swimming Sponsor of the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games and a Diamond Level Sponsor of Step Into Swim, a program that improves water safety by helping kids across the country learn to swim, we help bring poolside enjoyment to life. Plus, Pentair Foundation nonprofit partner V3 Sports, provided more than 2,250 hours of free and reduced cost swim lessons in their first six months of operation at their new swim center in Minneapolis, Minn. These partnerships unite Pentair Pool’s purpose of creating a better world for people and the planet through smart, sustainable pool solutions with missions of inclusion, empowerment, and safety. As an added layer of giving back to our communities, Pentair Pool also provided a $35,000 donation to LA Fire Prevention in early 2025.
Let’s Rule the Pool Together
While we're powered by people, innovation also remains a primary focus for the Pentair Pool team. That commitment has resulted in 12 consecutive ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year awards. In fact, the company’s ENERGY STAR® certified pool pumps have saved an estimated 45 billion kWh of energy, reduced 19.5 million tons of CO2 emissions, and saved pool owners over $6.8 billion in operating costs since 2005.***
So whether you’re building something brand new or servicing a long-loved poolside retreat, you deserve equipment that’s as dependable as you are. And when it’s made close to home by people who share your values, you can feel even more confident in the quality you're delivering. Let’s Rule the Pool together.
