The clock is ticking! Voting for the 2026 Pentair Pool Pro Awards closes Sunday, November 1, leaving just a few days to help recognize the professionals who make a difference in the pool and spa industry.
From the service technicians who keep pools running smoothly to the industry leaders inspiring the next generation, the Pentair Pool Pro Awards celebrate individuals whose dedication and expertise deserve recognition.
This year's program will honor seven outstanding professionals across five categories: Premier Pool Pro, Lifetime Achievement, Wave Maker, Unsung Hero and Safety Advocate. The new Wave Maker Award recognizes influential professionals whose voices are helping shape the industry's future.
But before the winners can be selected, the public has a say.
Pool and spa professionals, customers, colleagues and community members are encouraged to review the nominees and cast their votes before the deadline. Those receiving the most votes will advance to the next stage of the competition, which includes interviews with a selection committee featuring representatives from Pentair Pool, the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance and AQUA Magazine.
Winners will be announced January 8, 2027, and formally recognized at the 2027 Atlantic City Pool & Spa Show. Honorees will receive travel accommodations, professional development opportunities, an exclusive interview with AQUA Magazine and a swag package valued at up to $3,000.
Whether it's a colleague who consistently goes above and beyond, a mentor who has made a lasting impression or a professional whose contributions often go unnoticed, now is the time to show your support.
Don't let the opportunity pass! Voting closes November 1.
