Company Summary

More than 86% of the 9 million pool owners in the U.S. fail to properly maintain their pool's chemicals, leading to an expensive and time-consuming cleanup at least once a year. A simple text message with a warning would save time and money throughout the swimming season. Research shows that pool owners are very interested in a solution like this and are comfortable with a price point starting at $150.

The Skypool solution consists of a floating pool sensor with wireless radio, a cloud service, and a smartphone app. After an easy setup, customers can monitor the state of their pool, get alerts when the chemicals are out of balance, follow instructions on what chemicals to add (and how much), and get easy access to supplies through links in the app.

Skypool will sell the product online and eventually through retail channels, targeting pool owners and pool service professionals. Our brand will be synonymous with clean, healthy swimming for pool owners and their families.
