One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.

Frequently asked questions

Water Treatment

Pentair is an American company with multinational operations that specializes in water treatment and sustainable solutions. It operates in various sectors, including residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure markets, offering a broad range of products and services. These include water filtration systems, pool and spa equipment, pumps, valves, and automation solutions to manage water quality and flow. The company is incorporated in Ireland, has its headquarters and tax residency in the UK, and is listed on the NYSE.

High Altitude Balloons

In 1966, Pentair was established in a suburb of St. Paul, Minnesota, by a group of five friends who set out to build high-altitude balloons, a venture that didn’t quite get the results the founders had envisioned. However, the company rapidly diversified beyond its original scope in search of something more profitable and eventually found itself in the tool industry and with time, water systems and pool equipment. Over time, Pentair narrowed down its operations, eventually concentrating on water treatment and sustainable solutions, partly through acquisitions and partly by conducting spin-offs of various departments.

The Products

Pentair is a global company specializing in water treatment and sustainable solutions. It designs, manufactures, and markets a wide range of products and services aimed at improving the quality, safety, and availability of water. Its portfolio includes water filtration and purification systems, pumps, valves, and controls for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. Pentair also offers solutions for pool and spa management, including equipment for heating, cleaning, and water circulation. Companies offering similar products and services include names such as Danaher, Xylem, and Ecolab.

Sustainability

Pentair's commitment to sustainability is deeply integrated into its business model, particularly in how it addresses water conservation and quality. The company's sustainable water solutions are designed to reduce environmental impact while enhancing water efficiency. A clear of this example is the company’s energy-efficient pool pumps, which are engineered to consume less electricity, thereby reducing carbon footprint. Pentair also invests in advanced water filtration, rainwater harvesting, and desalination technologies, used for purifying and reclaiming water in areas with limited resources.
