Advances in sensors, automation, connectivity, artificial intelligence, water-quality monitoring, energy management and equipment technology are creating new possibilities for how pools can be designed and operated. CW Pools intends to be part of that future.
We envision systems where technology works quietly in the background, gathering information and helping homeowners and professionals make better decisions. Not technology for technology's sake. Technology that serves the water.
Our vision also extends beyond equipment. We believe water should be understood as part of a larger environment — circulation, movement, filtration, temperature, light, landscape, architecture, nature, people and technology working together to create something greater than a swimming pool.
This is the beginning of our exploration of Living Water: a philosophy centred on understanding water as an environment rather than a commodity to be treated.
Where science gives us established knowledge, we will follow the evidence. Where research is emerging, we will remain curious. And where ideas are exploratory, we will identify them honestly as exploration.
We envision water systems that use resources more intelligently — better hydraulics, more efficient equipment, thoughtful filtration, responsible water management, reduced waste, better monitoring, smarter automation and appropriate technology. And designs that consider the environment surrounding the pool rather than treating the pool as an isolated object.
The goal is not simply to build more sophisticated pools.
Through CW Pools and the continued development of Buddha Pools, we see an opportunity to bring together technical expertise and environmental design.
CW Pools focuses on the water system. Buddha Pools explores the environment and experience. Together, these ideas point toward a different way of thinking about the backyard.
Not simply a pool. Not simply a piece of equipment. But an environment designed around water.
We want to help create a generation of homeowners who understand their water systems instead of being completely dependent upon someone else to tell them what is happening.
That is why education matters. That is why our Library matters. That is why investigation matters. And that is why we continue to learn.
The future of pool ownership should be more transparent, more intelligent, more responsible, and more connected to the environment in which the water exists. We don't know exactly what every technology of tomorrow will look like — but we know the direction we want to travel.
And continue asking the questions that lead us toward better answers.
