About this episode

Dee Daniels interviews Josh Smith about innovative pool care products and family business culture.

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.
