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.

In this Backyard Family Fun episode at Pride Pools, Spas and Leisure Products in Savannah, producer Dee Daniels interviews Pride Pools renovation specialist Wilson Paul about pool renovations and common repairs during peak pool season.

Wilson explains he manages projects start to finish, from site visits and pricing to coordinating crews. They discuss how to evaluate older in-ground pools, common warning signs beyond simple fixes (dimpled or rough bottoms, bulging walls in older plywood-panel pools, liners pulling out of corroded track—especially in salt pools), and why surprises are minimized but sometimes only visible once a liner is removed.

Wilson notes liners typically last about 8–10 years with proper water chemistry, recommends professional water testing for accuracy and warranty records, and explains why pools shouldn’t be pre-drained due to high water tables and hydrostatic pressure. He also covers step recoating, wall fitting/plumbing work best done during liner replacement, deck resurfacing and lifting/repair options, weather risks during liner changes, and the liner-measuring process for complex pool shapes and tanning ledges.

Producer Dee Daniels is back at the Savannah location of Pride Pools, Spas, and Leisure Products for this episode of Backyard Family Fun to talk with Alex Smith about popular summer backyard “big-ticket” items, including hot tubs, swim spas, and custom saunas.

Alex highlights hydrotherapy benefits, unique jet placement, and how hot water can help reset after a long day, while saunas can be designed for homes or additions and support aromatherapy, sweating, and durability using specialized wood. They discuss swim spas as a space-saving alternative to pools, offering swim-jet resistance, seating for relaxing, adjustable temperature, and low-maintenance self-contained filtration with a fresh mineral water sanitation system.

Alex explains Pride Pools’ project support for placement, concrete pads, electrical, and delivery logistics, plus the value of buying local for warranty, service, and in-person help.
