A vote can be a simple way to show a pool professional that their hard work is noticed and appreciated. The 2026 Pentair Pool Pro Awards are accepting public votes for the people whose knowledge and commitment help make the pool and spa industry stronger.
Voting opened Oct. 23 and runs through Nov. 1. Pentair encourages pool and spa professionals, customers, colleagues and community members to visit the awards website and vote for the nominees who have made a meaningful impact.
Seven professionals will be recognized across five categories: Premier Pool Pro, Lifetime Achievement, Wave Maker, Unsung Hero and Safety Advocate. Nominees with the most votes will advance to interviews with a selection committee that includes representatives from Pentair Pool, the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance and AQUA Magazine.
To view the nominees and vote, visit pentair.com/pool-pro-awards. Supporters can also share the voting page with customers, friends and colleagues.
Winners will be announced Jan. 8, 2027, and recognized at the 2027 Atlantic City Pool & Spa Show. Award recipients will receive travel accommodations, professional development opportunities, an interview with AQUA Magazine and a swag package valued at up to $3,000.
