When Poolside Tech was founded, the goal was clear: to revolutionize the pool automation industry. With a commitment to innovation and a focus on improving the pool ownership experience, Poolside Tech aimed to offer smarter, more efficient solutions for homeowners. As Bob Doan, CEO of Poolside Tech, explains, “The creation of Poolside Tech was inspired by a desire to elevate the pool automation industry beyond its current limitations. By approaching the challenge from a homeowner’s perspective and committing to innovation and quality, we set out to revolutionize how pools are managed.”
Poolside Tech’s journey began with the launch of The Attendant, a product designed to address gaps in the market. Aimed at reducing energy consumption, saving homeowners money, and enhancing overall pool management, The Attendant integrates real-time monitoring with proactive maintenance alerts. This technology not only improves efficiency but also creates a more enjoyable experience for users, marking a turning point in pool automation.
At the core of Poolside Tech’s philosophy is its dedication to user-centric design. The company ensures that its technology enhances the poolside experience rather than interrupting it. By creating seamless integration and smart automation, Poolside Tech’s solutions allow homeowners to manage their pools effortlessly. “Our goal is to make pool management an effortless part of a relaxing day by the water,” says Bob Doan, emphasizing the company’s commitment to enriching the leisure experience.

In an industry where technology often feels cold or complex, Poolside Tech has redefined what pool automation can be. By focusing on intuitive design and ease of use, the company has transformed automation from an intimidating tool to a warm and accessible solution. “We actively listen to our users, simplify complex technology, and provide ongoing support,” Bob shares. “This approach ensures that our technology feels accessible, warm, and intuitive.”
What makes Poolside Tech’s automation system truly stand out is its flexibility. The company’s products seamlessly integrate with various pool equipment manufacturers, giving homeowners the freedom to choose products that meet their needs. This open-market approach encourages innovation and ensures the company’s solutions are adaptable to new technologies. “Our automation system’s compatibility with various equipment manufacturers is a source of great pride,” Bob says, highlighting the future-proof nature of Poolside Tech’s offerings.
Customer feedback is a driving force behind Poolside Tech’s product evolution. By staying connected with users, the company can continuously refine its solutions to ensure they meet real-world needs. “Customer feedback is crucial in guiding our development efforts and fostering trust and loyalty,” Bob emphasizes. Poolside Tech’s commitment to user satisfaction has positioned it as a trusted partner in the pool automation industry.

At the heart of Poolside Tech’s approach to luxury is efficiency, simplicity, and quality. The company believes that true luxury goes beyond extravagance. For Bob, luxury is about saving time and reducing frustration, which is reflected in Poolside Tech’s dedication to simplifying pool management. “For me, luxury transcends traditional notions of extravagance; it’s about saving time and alleviating frustration,” he says.
With its innovative solutions and a strong customer focus, Poolside Tech is setting a new standard for pool automation, making it possible for homeowners to enjoy their outdoor spaces without the hassle.
