Co-founder Garrett Stigall (pictured: right) was honored as UGA’s Entrepreneur of the Year for 2024 and named UGA’s Extraordinary Engineer for 2023, highlighting his groundbreaking contributions to the industry. Co-founder Guy Gober (pictured: left) was named a Stanford University Innovation Fellow, a prestigious program from Stanford’s Hasso Plattner Institute of Design (d.school) that empowers students to drive change through entrepreneurship and innovation.
For Garrett Stigall, pools have been more than a business—they've been a lifelong pursuit. Starting as a pool technician at just 11 years old, Garrett spent over a decade working firsthand with the challenges of traditional pool maintenance. In 2021, a chlorine shortage sent prices skyrocketing, pushing him to explore alternatives.
His search led him to ultrasonic technology, which had been successfully used in Europe for lake algae control. Seeing its potential for residential pools, Garrett, alongside co-founder Guy Gober, engineered S.A.M., the most efficient, and effective ultrasonic pool maintenance device on the market.
Together, Garrett and Guy bring a proven track record of innovation, industry expertise, and entrepreneurial success to revolutionize the future of pool maintenance.
Say goodbye to spending countless hours on pool maintenance and thousands of dollars on pool chemicals.
