Celebrating 60 years of innovation, Pentair Pool will present several developments in its range at Piscine Global 2026, all sharing the same objective: to simplify pool installation, maintenance and control. Sta-Rite VSe, Clean & Clear Plus and the new PoolGenius system will illustrate this approach, combining proven technologies, energy efficiency and connected management.

Sta-Rite VSe and Clean & Clear Plus evolve proven solutions

With the Sta-Rite VSe, Pentair is bringing variable-speed technology to the Sta-Rite / 5P2R hydraulic design. Well established within the brand's range for more than 40 years, it retains the qualities on which its reputation has been built - robustness, reliability and hydraulic performance - while incorporating the benefits now expected in terms of energy consumption and quieter operation.

Pentair states that the Sta-Rite VSe can reduce energy consumption by up to 55%, while retaining a design intended to keep installation straightforward. This development forms part of the manufacturer's broader strategy to support installers in the transition to variable-speed pumps, particularly in the renovation market. The Sta-Rite VSe has been specifically designed for this purpose, with a compact and affordable format that facilitates the replacement of existing equipment.

The same approach to product evolution can be seen with Clean & Clear Plus. The filter now comes equipped as standard with Pleatco Ultra cartridges, designed to improve debris capture and extend filtration cycles. A new clamp also provides easier access to internal components, making maintenance quicker and more convenient.

This development complements the recent improvements made to the Clean & Clear cartridge filter range equipped with Pleatco Ultra, with particular attention paid to water savings, reduced plant-room footprint and easier maintenance.

PoolGenius centralises equipment and water quality management

With PoolGenius, Pentair extends this focus on simplicity to overall pool management. This new all-in-one smart assistant brings together filtration, heating, lighting and water treatment within a single system.

Designed for both professionals and pool owners, PoolGenius aims in particular to reduce wiring and speed up commissioning. Day-to-day control is then managed through the Pentair Pool and Pentair Pro apps, with a connected approach that centralises the pool's main functions.

Through these three new developments, Pentair is pursuing the same overall strategy: continuing to develop proven equipment and technologies to meet professionals' current expectations for simplicity, reliability and performance. This approach also reflects the broader development of its offering across filtration, automation, water management and connected equipment.

Sta-Rite VSe, Clean & Clear Plus and PoolGenius will be on display at Piscine Global 2026, from 17 to 20 November in Lyon, on the Pentair Pool stand.
