Producer Dee Daniels is in the Pride Pools’ Savannah location to talk with Alex Smith about the company’s 51st year and how pool-industry technology has advanced across retail, service, and new construction.

Alex highlights automation now being standard for features like spillover spas, LED color lights, and controls via phone, plus cordless automatic cleaners and service tools that email customers before-and-after photos with invoices. He explains Pride Pools tests new products in-house before recommending them, prioritizing customer service over “latest and greatest” hype.

They discuss why brick-and-mortar matters: many pool and spa purchases require detailed guidance on sizing, power, fuel types, and accessories, and in-person help reduces mistakes and returns common with online shopping. Pride Pools serves customers through both Savannah and Claxton locations, supporting rural counties and buy-local community benefits.
