Episode 201: PUL Products - Disrupting the In-Floor Cleaning Industry with Nick Ghiz & Jim Goettl

Episode Summary:  Today, we speak with Nick Ghiz and Jim Goettl of PUL Products.  Nick and Jim have a clear passion for and purpose to what they do, both being sons of successful men in the pool business: Nick (son of Lewis “Buzz” Ghiz) hails from a generation of keen entrepreneurs while Jim comes from a line of highly creative product developers and innovators (his father John has over 100 patents in the pool industry).  The pair do a deep dive into the disruptive products offered by PUL Products, particularly the PUL Conekt, which takes inspiration from tried-and-true in-floor pool cleaning solutions and incorporates current technologies to help their products stand above the noise. Unlike most in-floor cleaning systems that use a one-size-fits-all design, PUL Products offers technology that “contours” to your individual pool.  Listen in as they share how both dealers and homeowners can benefit from PUL Products’ in-floor system customer portal and how they intend to continue innovating in this space like their fathers before them  Topics Discussed:  01:05 - An introduction to Nick and Jim  04:55 - About PUL Products  09:11 - The capabilities of the app  14:18 - Disrupting the in-floor pool cleaning space  16:42 - Addressing the most common in-floor concerns  24:24
