Time is running out to enter this year’s Pentair Pool Pro Awards! As the nomination phase comes to a close on October 18, 2024, don't wait to nominate yourself or someone you know for the chance to win this prestigious recognition. After nominations close, the voting period will begin, which will determine two Grand Finalists — one man and one woman. 

We spoke with Wes Kane of Pools Unlimited Incorporated on the support that came in after he was crowned as last year's Grand Finalist winner. 

“After winning this award, I really appreciated all the great support from all my customers, friends, family, and coworkers," says Kane. “This really makes me appreciate working in the pool industry and my work that helps many families create memories in their backyards.”

Pentair Pool is on the hunt for pool professionals who make a difference in their field and do their work like no other. Kane was honored, alongside Grand Finalist Cristina Forcione, based on the following criteria:

• Commitment and experience in the pool industry
• Passion for pools and enjoying water
• Knowledge of pool industry and products
• Customer service and safety-first approach
• Training and education expertise
• Demonstration of leadership and strong engagement in the industry
• Compelling story of success; demonstrating hard work, tenacity, and propelling growth in the industry

Don’t forget — multiple additional categories will also be honored:

• Lifetime Achievement
• Young Leader
• Advancing Technology
• Safety Advocate
• Pleatco Pioneer

If you think you have what it takes — or you know someone who does — send in a nomination! The possibilities are endless.
