Backyard Family Fun

Host Dee Daniels talks with Alex Smith at Pride Pools, Spas and Leisure Products’ Claxton, Georgia location about “spa secrets,” highlighting why visiting the showroom in Claxton or Savannah to see, touch, and test-soak hot tubs helps customers choose the right fit. Alex compares in-ground spas to portable spas, emphasizing portable models’ targeted jets and true hydrotherapy, plus flexibility to place or move them without plumbing. He outlines Pride Pools’ “good, better, best” lineup, including Bullfrog JetPack Therapy spas with interchangeable jetpacks and features like neck and lumbar therapy, citing a friend’s back-pain relief from consistent use. They discuss matching spa size and seating to users, placement tips (keep it close to the house), accessories like cover lifters and steps, a fresh mineral water program, and modern controls that remind owners to clean filters and add sanitation, with support from local service.

On Backyard Family Fun with Pride Pools, producer Dee Daniels interviews Josh Smith, National Sales Manager at King Technology, maker of FROG pool and spa products carried at Pride Pools’ Savannah and Claxton locations. Smith explains how FROG combines backyard enjoyment with water-care innovation, highlighting Add Ease as a fast-growing hot tub chemistry designed to reduce maintenance and shocking while improving the user experience. He details the Fresh Mineral Water approach, which kills bacteria two ways—using silver minerals plus a sanitizer (chlorine or bromine)—allowing lower chemical use while keeping water clear and easier to maintain. The conversation also covers shared family-business culture between King Technology and Pride Pools, new drop-in pod technology for simpler pool care, the dealer-exclusive Frog Leap system, and the importance of bringing water samples to Pride Pools for regular in-depth testing to maintain proper water balance.
