Pleatco, owned by Pentair, and longtime co-sponsors GENESIS and the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance, along with AQUA Magazine, are proud to launch the 2023 search for the best pool and spa service technicians. Since 2008, Pleatco and its co-sponsors have been shining a spotlight on this segment of the industry to honor hardworking professionals. 

Anyone working in the pool industry can nominate themselves or a colleague for the award. Nominations begin October 2, 2023, and must be submitted by October 27, 2023. Voting will open on November 1, 2023, and close on November 8, 2023. 

“We are incredibly excited to host the 15th year of Pleatco’s Pool Tech Search,” says Ryan Weaver, Pentair general manager of cleaners and consumables. “Pool professionals are an extremely important part of the industry, and we can’t think of a better way to highlight their hard work.” 

The awards ceremony will be held at the 2024 Pool & Spa Show in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Grand finalist prizes include roundtrip airfare and hotel accommodations for the Atlantic City Pool & Spa Show, Pleatco product and complimentary GENESIS course registration provided by PHTA.
