Simplifying Pool Care: Frog Products and Innovations with Josh Smith

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.   FIND A FAVORITE SPOT IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 01:09 Why Frog Stands Out 03:10 Add Ease Game Changer 04:50 Clear Water Storytime 06:12 Fresh Mineral Water Explained 08:50 Family Business Culture 11:20 Keeping Values While Growing 13:41 Trends and Pod Tech 14:44 Frog Leap and Dealer Support 17:47 Add Ease Favorite Features 18:59 Avoiding Common Water Issues 21:48 Wrap Up and Where to Buy   LEARN MORE WITH THESE SHOW LINKS: TAP HERE for the Pride Pools Main Page TAP HERE to see both Pride Pools Locations TAP HERE to enter the Pride Pools POOL DESIGN CENTER TAP HERE to enter Pride Pools SPA DESIGN CENTER TAP HERE to learn more about POOL & SPA PRODUCTS TAP HERE to learn more about POOL & SPA SERVICES EMAIL QUESTIONS and COMMENTS to [email protected] PRIDE POOLS on FACEBOOK PRIDE POOLS on X PRIDE POOLS on INSTAGRAM PRIDE POOLS on YOUTUBE
