    For Sutro, this means creating a smart water ecosystem, a single gadget that is integrated into a smart home system to ensure a trouble free pool. In the age of Retail 3.0, this means providing customers and pool retail professionals with hassle free access to the information and data they need when they need it.

    Sutro eliminates test kits and manual data collection, and instead creates an entire ecosystem that fast tracks that process. When an owner needs to address an imbalance in their pool or spa, they are notified and referred to a handful of local suppliers and professionals in the pool and spa industry. No more expensive test kits, no more wasted time, no more soggy papers.

    If we stick to our Day 1 philosophy, we can all carve out our own ecosystem in the Amazon era and meet the complex challenges of Covid-19. We believe that if we work together we can take advantage of on-demand, on-line, and on-premise experiences to better serve our mutual customers.
