About Pool Protection Technologies DBA
Pool Protection Technologies is transforming pool care with S.A.M., the only ultrasonic algae prevention device in the industry. Founded by engineering graduates Garrett Stigall and Guy Gober, the company was born out of frustration with rising chemical costs and the recurring problem of algae blooms. After extensive research and over 180,000 hours of internal testing, they developed S.A.M., a battery-powered, floating device that uses ultrasonic sound waves to prevent algae growth without relying on chemicals. Traditional pool maintenance is costly and time-consuming, with the average pool owner spending $1,600 per season on chemicals and dealing with three algae blooms annually. S.A.M. reduces chemical dependency by up to 70%, saving pool owners up to $1,300 a year while providing a cleaner, safer swimming experience. S.A.M. has gained traction with pool owners and service providers, with 75 successful residential trials and partnerships with pool stores in Georgia and Florida. The company has secured purchase agreements with pool service routes, allowing service providers to offer S.A.M. as part of a weekly maintenance plan, creating recurring revenue for both parties. Pool Protection Technologies is positioned to disrupt the $8.2 billion U.S. pool maintenance market. With plans to manufacture 1,000 units in Savannah, GA, and expand through direct sales and strategic partnerships, the company is well-positioned for rapid growth.
